Hmph >>:(

"Because of rain," she replied, and opened the ceiling. She'd already showed him how to use the GPS. "All right, bye!" 

"Wait, how do I use this again?" He asked, holding up the GPS as he mounted the griffin.

. . . But he was a Narrator.

-

He grinned. "You're sure?"

-

Tam snorted.

"And I'm an Enuller. We cancel each other out, almost."

-

"Yes!"

4 minutes ago, Halcyon The Only said:

I don't remember what they do tbh  

"Yes," he agreed. "Yes. We should." 

-

Rose felt smug. She decided not to rub it in, though. 

Even though it would be kind of satisfying to stick her tongue out a little. 

She grinned. 

"I mean, I had my sword, so it was practically a given." 

"Not really. He could've killed you at any time. You manipulated him into not killing you instantly."

*shrug*

She nodded, and sensing that Eleanor wasn't coming back, headed down a random tunnel.

There's gotta be something here.

-

Tam took a deep breath.

Will you SHUT UP.

He helped by following her. Which was very very helpful for sure. 

-

She folded her arms. "I'll shut up about it once you give me a nice sincere apology for tormenting me and promise to never do it for petty stupid reasons again."

"Wait, how do I use this again?" He asked, holding up the GPS as he mounted the griffin.

"Press the button and it'll show where you're going. Press the other button and it'll bring you back. If it starts buzzing, press the third button to answer my call."

"Not really. He could've killed you at any time. You manipulated him into not killing you instantly."

"...okay, but still."

"Please stop. Both of you." Cricket sighed, stepping between them. Bat? he called out questionably.

@Through The Living Glass

"If you hadn't tricked him, you would be dead. No sword can save you from a Narrator. Only your wits."

"Yes!"

That's true . . .

-

"Hmm."

Flax was pushed up and out of the stone so that only his feet were stuck.

-

That's a little more believable.

She grumbled something derogatory about Rose, but stopped.

"It's not anything special to do my job. I'm supposed to defeat Narrators. I'm the negative that cancels out the positive."

-

"All of me? Please?"

-

"Stop. Please."

[Through The Living Glass She/They]

Just now, TwinStorm said:

-

"All of me? Please?"

-

"Stop. Please."

I know. It's just . . . weird to hear.

-

"Possibly."

-

She glared at tunnel ahead as they walked.

lol didn't see this

It was helpful. It felt good to have him there.

-

HAH! No.

[TwinStorm He/Him]

Just now, Through The Living Glass said:

-

"Possibly."

-

She glared at tunnel ahead as they walked.

"Yeah. Believe me. It's weird being the one thing that can beat the all powerful people you've been trained to fear."

-

"Well? You want my service or not?"

-

He sighed. He didn't want her angry at him.

I bet . . .

-

"Not particularly. No. Why should I let you go?"

[TwinStorm He/Him]

3 minutes ago, Through The Living Glass said:

-

"Not particularly. No. Why should I let you go?"

He nodded. "Well, anything happened with you two?"

-

He sighed. "I'm valuable. In more ways than you can imagine."

Besides almost dying a few times, admitting they liked each other, and Bat mostly going insane?

Not much. Just exploring, really.

-

"Such as?"

@Through The Living Glass

"If you hadn't tricked him, you would be dead. No sword can save you from a Narrator. Only your wits."

Huh? Oh, I’m here. He stopped paying attention to the strata in the wall. 

-

“Wits that I apparently have.”

“Fun,” Rose said.

"Such as?"

"Huh." she seemed like she was hiding something. She wasn't a great liar. "Okay." He figured it didn't matter.

-

"I have influence!" he lied.

“Wits that I apparently have.”

“Fun,” Rose said. 

"Yep. All I have is power. There's nothing that makes me special, or good at stuff like that, like you are. If I didn't have powers, I would've died a hundred times now."

Glen continued forwards until he reached the candle.

Reaching out, he touched it.

 @Halcyon The Only

Ok maybe not forever  

It vanished and re-formed some distance away. 

The whispers grew more desperate.

"Ok." He urged the Griffin upwards.

She hit him lightly on the shoulder. “Yeah, right.”

Just now, KnightSkye said:

"Ok." He urged the Griffin upwards.

The griffin did not wish to comply.

Foreeeeeeeever

Glen grew frustrated. "Come on." He says, sprinting to the candle.

"...and how," Cadewyn almost growled, "Do you make these beasts fly?"

[TwinStorm He/Him]

9 minutes ago, Halcyon The Only said:

She hit him lightly on the shoulder. “Yeah, right.”

The griffin did not wish to comply. 

"When have I ever survived on my own wits? When have I ever not used my powers to get out?" He winced at what he was saying. This hurt him more than he could see.

She nodded.

-

"No, you don't."

-

That literally makes you special, Cricket . . .

[TwinStorm He/Him]

Just now, Through The Living Glass said:

She nodded.

-

"No, you don't."

-

That literally makes you special, Cricket . . .

"C'mon! Please!"

"But I'm not clever! What am I without my powers? Nothing."

“Kick him with your heels.”

1 minute ago, TwinStorm said:

"When have I ever survived on my own wits? When have I ever not used my powers to get out?" He winced at what he was saying. This hurt him more than he could see.

Rose shrugged. “Wits are just another form of power.”

Just now, Through The Living Glass said:

She nodded.

-

"No, you don't."

-

That literally makes you special, Cricket . . .

“Yeah, exactly.”

[Through The Living Glass She/They]

2 minutes ago, TwinStorm said:

"C'mon! Please!"

"But I'm not clever! What am I without my powers? Nothing."

"Nah."

He continued walking away.

-

You're Cricket.

2 minutes ago, Halcyon The Only said:

“Kick him with your heels.”

Rose shrugged. “Wits are just another form of power.”

“Yeah, exactly.”

Tam decided it was probably best for the both of them if she ignored Rose.

[Existential]

1 hour ago, Halcyon The Only said:

The heat was near unbearable now, just feet from them. 

"I'll come," she whispered.

He smiled, holding out his hand “let’s go then,” he said warmly. He turned and looked at his father. “I get the feeling you are going to see mom again?”
