Thank you both.

Okay, so... I'm leafing through this thread and... 

Could somebody give me a basic summary of what's happening in one of the plots right now so I can understand the context? 

So

Afterimage doesn’t have any plot rn, so he’s prolly not the best candidate.

BUT

He is able to ferry your character from wherever ‘ey’ll start to Glass’ plot.

(And perhaps join y’all.)

You found it? Great!

She hopped up and started to exit the way they'd come.

Um . . . some people are about to start a quest to get some very dangerous power cores, basically 

You could join that one!

Or come up with something completely different, if you wanted

Yeah, pretty much. Should be fun :3 

Bat hurried with her, clutching the compass in one hand and her other hand in his own other hand. Now he had no hands. Hehe.

Something clattered briefly behind them, but nothing happened.

Hehe.

Okay... Suddenly, Taeinid comes running across the way, looking over his shoulder. He stops and puts his hands on his knees, huffing.

A gust of wind carries purple dust over to him, and the dust swirled, condensing together to form a rippling figure.

”Hello.”

She shrugged. "All right. Suit yourself. Personally, I don't care. It's not like she's anything more than an experiment anyway.

“Isn’t this the very objective of the experiment?”

He stopped as they entered the lake chamber. "Okay. Okay." 

Time to psych himself up for this.

Lady Bug appeared. 

"Hello."

She had blackish-bluish hair and wore a performers coat. She also held a polished cane.

She turned away from the lake to face him, breathing heavily. She took the mask off so she could get more oxygen 'cus that's totally right mhm

“Good. I quite honestly may agree with you, depending upon what you do wish.” 

"I'm sure we'll find out. But for now, we've been talking long past when I canonically left, so bye."

Alright, then - perhaps we’ll witness that at some point. 

perhaps

Alright - the apostrophes are throwing me off. 

Both parts are quite simple, it's just doing them in the right order and the right things. (and I may have translated it incorrectly, who knows!)

Quote

The tricky part is imagining something neither structured nor unstructured. Things have to have some arrangement, whether it be effectively random or very regular. 

it does have some structure, and what you're hitting upon is why I decided to make it an alloy, rather than just pure Dark. It is quite difficult to be in only one Axis at once.

Quote

Alright. I’d be willing to help with that brainstorming, though as we’ve found I seem to have a poorer grasp of the lore than I thought. 

I think I'll figure it out, but if you have ideas, you're welcome to tell them.

Quote

To unbalance him by introducing more Ordered Darkness (or Chaotic Darkness, but that’s risky). 

kind of. He's a little different from the metals, but in theory, it should be possible. 

Quote

Huh (to both). The Skeins were Witherlordish for Ordered Light, right? Or at least had more power than a Luxsprite. 

were those the ruler of the Luxsprites that are the Witherlord's generals now?

Quote

The balancium one - I think he did use it in the duel, though I’m not sure it worked. Rebus found and reactivated the one that turns you into Nameless, but he was… unhelpful (he stole and absorbed a bunch of Prismite, then ran away). 

Nameless has never once been helpful in the history of ever (at least, not to any of my characters)

Quote

That’s what I said, too. I think Platypus is the last. 

honestly, I'd be more worried about if they exist at all. Platypus is sometimes a Being of Ordered Light, but a) you would have to extract his core which he would not be happy about and b) just being a Ordered Light doesn't necessarily make him a Luxsprite. I think Xino and I came to the conclusion that he's mostly just a Being, not necessarily one of the four ones that we have names for.

Quote

Rebus chuckled inwardly. He’d been in that situation before - honestly, he still was. 

He would get used to it, in time. At that time it had been hundreds of years, and Platypus was barely making progress. But at least some progress had been made. Even more, now.

there's usually a celebration of some sort on the thousand pages. the 500s too, but those are considerably smaller. Actually, Thaid's death post is on page 2500.

Catching his breath, Taeinid speaks.

"Whoa...Where'd you guys come from?"

[Through the Living Wrath he/him]

Oh

Afterimage, Taenid, Ladybug @Bird Furious, and Glass’ character @Through The Living Glassare all IN THE SAME PLACE

SO

I CAN TALK

Afterimage turned to Ladybug and the mysterious man. “Hello to you two too!”

@epl2

Afterimage was still waiting for an answer.

He took a deep, deep breath and led her behind the shadow of a boulder to a small, concealed tunnel. It was completely invisible from any other angle.

Platypus' Author committed to mind to call her Ladybug instead of Lady Bug.
