“It’s okay. You think we could rescue them?”

“It’s okay. That’s not what life is for.”

“It’s the only thing you have!”

“I am,” Rose said. “What kind of trials?”

"Yeah," Jay sighed. "So, what? You just go around borrowing people's stuff?"

She smiled up at him, suddenly seeming as carefree as she’d been when he’d first met her. 

He hesitantly smiled back.

Truthfully, he wasn't sure what to make of her. A literal Goddess, and yet she seemed so . . . normal. A bit lonely, sometimes sad, but she didn't act like what she truly was.

Well, she didn't act how he'd expect a Goddess to act, anyway.

She was having similar thoughts about him. She’d never met a Drus before, and, well… he seemed like a normal person. She craned her neck up into the leaves, trying to get a better look at him.

He noticed and scooted back a little ways, uncomfortable.

She flushed and looked away. “Sorry.”

Underneath?

"Like . . . in the underworld?"

Well, yeah, but life kinda entails being alive, y'know?

“You’re a Narrator.”

The other things he’d thought of frantically flashed through his mind. He closed his eyes. 

“We’d live anyway.”

"Only the ones that are left. I heard something about one through three. I think... I think they're gone"

Her eyes widened. “…what?”

51 minutes ago, Dragonheir said:

Rebus nodded. "Alright, though you should wait until this blows over." 

Heir waved back, now holding a red solo cup and a party unroll whistle thing. "Thank you." 

Rebus nodded slightly. "That happens, sometimes. What was your idea? - self-actualization Bat might serve." 

"Yes. It's quite useful, though it takes enhanced reflexes to outdraw a teleporter." He needlessly blew on the weapon, then put it away. "Unrelatedly, how much power would Atredies's corpse give Nameless?" 

Rebus did so, a Nullite robot arm extracting the core. 

Rebel waited, making himself some wares to provide an alibi and induce greed.

“Of course.”

Haly shoved a party hat on his head.

“I didn’t have an idea, really. I just felt the urge to make a new character.”

“Exactly.”

Jay suddenly felt awkward. He was talking to a bird. He was talking to a bird. And she was kinda cute. He smiled awkwardly.

Rebus typed in some commands, waiting for the portal to connect. And, of course, for the spider monster to show up. 
 

Heir accepted the party hat. “Ah - a desire for more discovery writing. If I think of an initial prompt, I’ll let you know.”

"No, don't be. Boundaries are good."

“I am,” Rose said. “What kind of trials?”

"That depends on you." the corpse's eyes seemed to burn. "Your people fear Narrators. Do you still share that fear?"

33 minutes ago, Dragonheir said:

Rebus did so, a Nullite robot arm extracting the core. 

As soon as NameIess' core came into contact with Atreides', there was a flash of light. A moment later, Nameless stood before Rebus, fully corporeal. He was a tall man with brown hair and blue eyes. He took a deep breath. "At last." A grin spread across his face. "I'm back."

Rebus grinned back, offering a handshake. “They don’t know what they’re in for, do they? This will be very interesting…”

He thought for a moment.

"So . . . what do you do in your free time? Er- do you have free time, I suppose?"
