So each particle powers itself with . . . magic?

Yes.

But they are not in contact with the Nullite.

So

This is the basics - each particle of the Adari has an indefinite size, indefinite mass, etc. They can be split into more, and they each have capacity to do stuff. Like near-Narration.

Afterimage is the shared consciousness between them - but his body is just a collection of some of them. The rest literally permeate everything they can reach.

If the particles were to have a third substance - some sort of regular dust - it could separate itself from the rest with an almost film - it would hold the dust up in an outline of a body, and the Nullite dust would rest on that.

The Adari particles would be inside that outline, away from the Nullite. Then, the other Adari particles would be able to read all the stuff that the cut-off particles would see/feel, and then execute whatever magic it would want to do.

It would be limited by its accessibility to the rest of the Adari, but this is still better than nothing.

Afterimage isn’t sure what they are waiting for.

After a while, Taeinid begins to get nervous. He turns towards Afterimage. 

"You said you could help with our situation, didn't you? Or was it like the orbs, but vibration?"

“I can help… but I don’t know what I’m helping with.”

How is it holding it, then? Nullite has a small Nullifying radius- if you're near enough to it it will still Nullify things.

Yes, but if the other dust is large enough, it can act as a buffer - plus, the Adari could form more precise holding things to be able to manipulate from farther away.

"Good enough for me."

Taeinid scattered pebbles on the ground again and peered at them for a while. He then began wandering around the darkened forest, taking seemingly random turns. 

"I'm pretty sure it's thisaway."

There's other dust? Non-Nullite dust? To support the Nullite? That's what I got from that

“Me too.”

He follows, emanating light.

That's better.

What's the point of the Nullite, then?

Eyes wide with horror, Taeinid started to back away. 

"Not again!"

He suddenly turned, and took off running through the forest.

To give ‘im a not Narratable body - kinda like a cherry on top.

Soooo

If all his other Adari is used up (Narrated away), he can launch more through the Nullite influence with predetermined instructions to recreate what was there before.

Basically, if a Narrator decide that they don’t like him, he’s in a lot less danger.

@epl2

Afterimage was confused - was he not scared by his ghostly form, then?

No he wasn't.

. . . So . . . here's the thing.

If the Adari particles aren't being Nullified, they can be Narrated. It's as simple as that.

No he wasn't. 

Well okay then.

Afterimage watched him as he ran, but his body did not follow.

BUT

they are wrapped within a Nullite influence - the Narrators have to get through the Nullite.

Trust, this works.

I had a similar thing b4 - no objects from Xino

But if there are gaps that proves a problem. If there aren't gaps . . . that poses a problem for your character.

I can't see how this would work.

There ain’t gaps in the influence field - my character just sorta lets the particles going between temporarily die.

Ah, okay, see that makes more sense.

But then aren't there brief moments where each individual particle is vulnerable? And the second he tried to teleport all the Nullite would be left behind.

Taeinid doesn't make it very far when he points up at the sky and shrieks, then starts running back to where he just was.

Yeah… I’m really sorry, Spirit. I just don’t see how it would work at all. At the very best, it woukd be very unwieldy and difficult. That’s a super cool idea, tho.

She followed anxiously.

"What's going on?" she whispered.

“This is normal… probably…”

“You don’t know who you are, even?”

“Of course we know—“ the man snapped, but the girl stepped in front of him and held up her hand pleadingly. He sighed and let her speak. 

“I’m Lisa. This is my father.”

Explain that?
 

His teleportation is… different.

He doesn’t teleport, he literally just goes at hyperspace speed while his particles are small enough to slip between atoms.

Nah, it’d work - Nullite doesn’t cancel pure science!

And if that science is affected by some other things , oh well.

Did you read my other explanations?

I agree! It's a really cool idea- just not very feasible.

The closest we've gotten to something like that is Bat's ability to push on Nullite- but that's also based on his perception of himself and how the Nullite in his body reacts to Narration.

How are the particles passing through the fields?

 

Ah, see, that's much more likely. Inefficient in an actual sense, but it works for TLT I suppose
