That's what I'm working on!

Yes, that is why I am commenting on it. Take as long as you need. Actually, I have a city inside a moon where they will never want for anything - you can offer them the opportunity to move there.

He sighed very, very deeply. “I expect you to lick that out.”

She smiled and put it in her hair. “I don’t care. Anything.” 

Some Author noted that Shoe was adorable.

As they walked, they began to see spheres large enough for a human to be contained inside, made of a metal-like substance. 

She snorted and tossed the jar aside.

"Not a chance."

He smiled and hugged her, thinking she looked very beautiful.

Indeed, he was.

What do you want to do?

Stone sighed. "Wait." he frowned. "Give me a moment."

He concentrated, focusing his power on the virus. 

"There." he said, standing up with satisfaction. "She's healed."

". . . Really? Just like that?"

The girl continued sleeping, but she looked better already.

She took a breath and opened her mouth to respond, but she couldn’t look at his face, so she turned away again and started toward the palace instead. 

He followed, concerned.

Jack was still bewildered, but wasn't even sure what to say. "So, you want to be Spring-heeled Jack?" 

Utility faded away again.

They made it to the gates, and Corysande placed her hand against the door. That same blue light leaked into the seams, and the door swung open. It looked empty inside, but voices could be heard in an adjoining room.

"There." he said, standing up with satisfaction. "She's healed."

At the last second, a swirl of feathers floofed out around her, stopping her momentum. She dashed off to the north. 

I’ll pm you once I catch up on notifs. Sorry, it’s been hectic

You're a good man, Stone. Seems like all you needed was a second chance. 

"Not necessarily. Have you really been in physical battles before?"

That was understandable. The reflections were beginning to move on their own, now. 

“No. No, not really.” She looked down at her hands. “Maybe that’s what I was afraid of as Ruia. I don’t know.”

Rose the Narrator was taller and somehow much more intimidating. She wore flowing, rich clothing that looked woven from gemstones somehow. She tossed her head back and laughed. Rose moved to the normal-looking one. 

you can have narrator her now. Just a quick demo.

“I thought we might find something like this.” Lady Bug reached out to touch one, but faltered. “Neither she nor Ruia wished to be small,” she guessed. “Ruia spread like an infection, but kept Symbol somewhat intact inside. Corruption and destruction. But Lytikyria has been around for centuries…”

“I’ll teach you.” Rebus said, smiling. He put out his hand, and a line of utility fog locked together and glowed orange, imitating a sword. “Let’s start with the basics - stance and footwork.” He stood sideways, holding his sword out, and an outline of blue in the air showed Symbol where to move to imitate him. 
The Nullite-tattooed Rose seemed on edge. The expression was familiar, somehow.

“No. We won’t find anything besides more of this, I think…” She trailed off as the tunnel billowed especially large, revealing the edge of something silvery white off to their right.

“Perhaps not.”

Jack was not alone for long. A young man with black hair that shimmered like coals appeared, dragging a frizzy-haired and very disgruntled brunette. 

-

She copied the stance. “That’s nice of you. Thank you.”

Rose frowned and moved to the one without tattoos.

Jack turned towards them warily, ready to leap away if needed. “What’s going on here?” 

-
Rebus demonstrated a lunge, striking a target in the air. Glowing footprints on the floor appeared, so Symbol could do the same. “Footwork is one of the most important parts of fighting, especially with Plotblades and similar weapons - defending against one and attacking with one requires speed more than strength.” 
-

This reflection was missing more than the tattoos. She also had no sword, and no laser. She didn’t look scared, but it was obvious that in a combat situation this version of her would be of no use.

The man looked surprised to see him. "Oh, hello! I'm Nemesis." 

Does he have any immortality or similar soul-enhancing effects? 

Symbol copied it. Being a construct of Narration, she had no trouble filing the knowledge away. "Balance is important, I'm guessing." 

-

Rose frowned. "What are you?"

“My name is Jack. Why are you dragging this person through the street?” 
Well, he’s a clockwork automaton, so I’m not even sure if he has a soul. But he doesn’t really age except through physical wear. 
“It is, especially since precarious conditions are very dramatic.” 
“I’m Rose? Well, technically I’m a reflection.”

Hmm, we'll go with no soul for now. Maybe he'll grow one  

"Huh? Oh, she's my transportation!" 
The frizzy haired girl huffed.

"Mmmm... I thought so." She settled back into the basic stance and tried a swing. 

-

"But you're... weak."

Perhaps. He does have more emotions than the other models, which is why he’s on a journey of self-discovery in the first place. 
“How? She looks nothing like the carrier models - and also seems unwilling. We shall search for a new transportation method, so she does not have to.” 
Several possible swing and footwork patterns lit up in the air. 
“I suppose if you think I am weak, you can try to do better.”
