He was talking to a bird. He was talking to a bird. And she was kinda cute. He smiled awkwardly. She grinned. “Wanna come home with me?” 4 hours ago, Dragonheir said: 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.” @Through The Living Glass The scientist waited tensely. 4 hours ago, Through The Living Glass said: I guess . . . "Sorry." “I like that you’re curious, Tam. It’s not a bad thing.” 4 hours ago, NameIess said: "That depends on you." the corpse's eyes seemed to burn. "Your people fear Narrators. Do you still share that fear?" 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." Rose swallowed and stood up straighter. “I killed a Narrator. I’m not afraid.” She is afraid. Very afraid. Symbol blinked, light flashing across her body. “I fear I missed something. My apologies— I’ve been taking care of something.” 2 hours ago, echo74 said: RAH IM BORED @Through The Living Glass@Kajsa@Halcyon The Only@anyone else who wants to join She walked down the cobbled road in the ghost town, her curly hair lightly blowing in the wind. On her shoulder sat a rat, whispering and muttering in her ear.

It's not a nest, I hope," Jay said, grinning. That was pretty funny. Well, he thought it was funny. Sometimes Jay wasn't funny at all. He thought he was, though. - Yay.

NameIess Posted March 2, 2025 Posted March 2, 2025 9 hours ago, Dragonheir said: “True - the Authorial interplay makes it difficult to predict the future. But you specifically are going to have a pretty significant impact, I suspect.” “I’m a traveler, with curiosities to sell. I’m also very lost.” “Not precisely what I meant. But true all the same.” A Narrationblade formed in Nameless’ hand, then vanished. “Anyways, I must be going. I have plans to work on and people to deal with. You have my gratitude Rebus. You were a far more useful tool than I ever imagined.” He vanished into smoke. 6 hours ago, Halcyon The Only said: Rose swallowed and stood up straighter. “I killed a Narrator. I’m not afraid.” “Hm. That will make your trial far more difficult.” The corpse looked concerned. “Perhaps… would you be offended if an employee of mine held your trial? Very competent, I assure you. My hiring standards are top-notch.” 6 hours ago, Halcyon The Only said: Symbol blinked, light flashing across her body. “I fear I missed something. My apologies— I’ve been taking care of something.” Nameless shrugged. “Not much. Just my glorious return to the flesh.”

TwinStorm He/Him Posted March 2, 2025 Posted March 2, 2025 (edited) 15 hours ago, Through The Living Glass said: A forcefully-thrown pineapple hit him in the head from behind. A delocious-looking pineapple appeared in front of her. HEY! 14 hours ago, Halcyon The Only said: “MY CHOIR IS GOING TO STATE!!” - She shrugged. “I’m still a bird, technically, so…” Haly grinned. He blinked. “I dunno. I don’t mind.” Much. Oh, no. Haly squeaked. Haly giggled and danced around. “NO. MY PINEAPPLE.” “HEY! DON’T HURT MY UNCLE!” “Sure.” "YAYYY HALY!" 14 hours ago, NameIess said: Jacob heaved himself back onto the roof with a grunt of effort. "Lane, Barik, Organ. you alive? Report in" His voice crackled through their earpieces, staticky but understandable. He switched over to the main channel. "Simon, be on the lookout. I got knocked from the sky shortly after passing the city walls." He cursed softly as a squad of guards hurried through the street below in a search pattern. They were scanning the rooftops as they went, and several carried bows. "I've got company. Over and out." Omen waited in the form of a withered corpse with red glowing eyes. "Cricket. Are you prepared to face my trial once again?" He looked at Rose. "I see you come in different company this time. Is Rose prepared to face my trial?" Very good. The fuzzy form of Nameless evaported into mist, leaving only the floating core. Put me into contact with his core. The guard walked to a doorway and paused, turning to look at Rebel over his shoulder. "Wait here. I'll be back with the captain in a moment." Regulus gulped. Then he took a large bite of his soup, hoping it wouldn't be too angry. It looked likely to kill him even without being angry. Lane's voice crackled through. "I'm alive. Got any med packs on you?" Radio silence from Simon. Whatever had knocked out their cloaks had likely cut comms, at least att a distance. He gulped. "I am. We both will." 14 hours 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. He shrugged. "I'm not sure." 12 hours ago, NameIess said: "That depends on you." the corpse's eyes seemed to burn. "Your people fear Narrators. Do you still share that fear?" 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 SO EXCITED!!”

"That would be nice." "Alright." There was a shift in the air around her. "Let's go, then." 3 hours ago, Kajsa said: “That makes sense. I don’t blame you.” He shrugged.

Perhaps I will claim Protagonist to help me.” 2 hours ago, TwinStorm said: that seems like a problem heeheehee I wanna see Moni's reaction She will not be pleased, to put it mildly.

Rebus continued waiting, hoping it might actually arrive before the portal opened. 2 hours ago, TwinStorm said: He shrugged. "I'm not sure." “But as we previously established, it’s not infinite.” This copy of Rebus seemed much more annoyed at Nameless. “It could be, Rebus - it’s mostly up to NameIess at this point.

Through the Living Heir he/him Posted March 2, 2025 Posted March 2, 2025 4 minutes ago, Halcyon The Only said: Rose stared at Meat. It didn’t work; Meat was always somewhere else. He cackled. “Meat the Minstrel, at the service of that guy!”

Existential Posted March 2, 2025 Posted March 2, 2025 Just now, Halcyon The Only said: She buried her face in his chest. “I hope so…” He looked up front. "Aden, you think you could get us somewhere with a plane? I don't need a pilot, just the plane itself"
Through the Living Heir he/him Posted March 2, 2025 Posted March 2, 2025 9 minutes ago, Halcyon The Only said: She stepped back. “You…‘re a Narrator.” "Maybe! You're a pineapple!" Rose was, in fact, not a pineapple.

NameIess Posted March 2, 2025 Posted March 2, 2025 59 minutes ago, Dragonheir said: Rebus grinned, in spite of himself. “That’s the issue with wanting to work with people I relate to. Had I been in your shoes, I would have waited a lot longer, used the resulting trust and stolen the final product, and remembered you still cannot teleport in or out of my lab without me turning off the shielding first.” Nameless remained gone, although a paper did fall slowly to the ground where he had been standing. If Rebus bothered to read it, the paper showed a list of ways Nameless could have vanished without Rebus deactivating the teleportation field. Spoiler 1: Using the Narration Rebus had given him to impersonate Rebus and hack the system. 2: Turning invisible and exiting at his leisure. 3: Using superspeed to exit faster than Rebus could percieve 4: Using Narration skills unknown to Rebus to teleport himself out in a way that bypassed the anti-teleport field 5: Instead of moving himself, simply turning incorporeal and moving the entire substance of the Thread in such a way that he phased to his intended destination 6: Stepping into the fourth dimension 7: Time travel 8: Some kind of combination of the above. 1 hour ago, Dragonheir said: Meat the Minstrel appeared with a flash of light and discordant music. “Omens and almonds yield bad if tasted at the unclock, but this is practically on top of a letter! And nonsense for cents, too!” Omen gestured to Rose. "You'll be giving her a trial today. Do you need a description of her character?" 1 hour ago, TwinStorm said: "Uhhh... looks like something's coming from the center of the city. Powerful magic. Not sure if its Narration or something else." "Think it has something to do with those artifacts the boss wants?" Jacob slowly moved along the rooftops, stepping carefully to avoid making any noise. "Headed your way now." 1 hour ago, TwinStorm said: "I will." he nodded. Omen nodded, an ominous look in his eyes. "Very well. Whenever the two of you are ready, we can begin." 1 hour ago, Halcyon The Only said: She frowned. “That hardly seems a fitting Plotblade for such a task.” "What, the protagonist shouldn't be the one to save the Thread from itself?" Nameless grinned. "I suppose Antagonist could work, but antagonists have an unfortunate tendency to lose, so... yeah." 9 minutes ago, Halcyon The Only said: Rose was relieved when she didn’t turn into a pineapple. “You’re a lunatic.” "Worry not. Meat the Minstrel is a highly qualified trial-giver under select circumstances. His trial run went exceedingly well, and I hear the brave adventurer has recovered exceedingly well from his temporary bout of insanity."
