Afterimage kept the ones he disposed of.

Taeinid looks at Afterimage oddly but continues to keep his distance.

"Go away," she mumbled a little louder.

-

It started raining very hard on one singular person.

-

Bat brightened. "Then... if Nameless is gone, maybe nobody needs to claim Antagonist after all! We can just... I don't know... lock it up or something. Right?" 

"Everybody is fine. It's their achievement too."

"It is a problem," Haly mumbled, tapping a pen against her mouth. "And I agree--- we'll have to wait. Which begs the question of what to do in the meantime. I have things with Symbol we could do--- though of course it'll require writing up some stuff, and due to my latent laziness, that might have to wait until evening after my writing hour. Or I suppose I could write up some things during that hour. Honestly, right now we need to kill time." She paused. "And recruit, actually. Recruiting is a good idea. We'll need more of a core group to be truly passionate about the Thread, beyond three people. I'll speak to two of my friends who, if not writers, are on par to become good ones. If we could manage to get them invested... and perhaps attract fringe roleplayers less interested in the meta... Sharders like Hawks, SpiritOfWrath, Echo, and even Sequence. Personally, I'd love to see more GMs around. I run over half of the active storylines, and drive nearly all of them. I worry what will happen when I inevitably leave if we can't attract more GMs. Cookie had promise in that area."

"Agreed. I have what I need for now, though I'll probably have to come back to my Author's ghost works later."

Rose could have hugged Cricket, but didn't want to in front of the Dreamsmith. @TwinStorm

And Nemesis took his soul just as he had the dragon's. Now on to some real prey. After he made some enemies, of course.

“Great! I’ll probably pull in an established character.” 

“I’d agree - the three of us seem to represent much of the Thread at the moment. Which is somewhat a problem, actually. I’d hate for us to be the group who let the Thread die. Which of Tam and Bat (or others) should be the Protagonist, though, is unclear. Though we don’t need to decide yet, because of how story arcs work. As for Antagonist, I don’t feel great about pulling the rug out from under NameIess and simply giving it to Rebus, merely because I’m still active and he isn’t. And anyway, we may want to wait till after 4000 to do things, unless we don’t.” 
“That depends. I do not, at the moment, threaten the Thread, so the Ennullers likely will avoid involvement, but preparation is always useful. It’s simply a matter of priorities, since I know there’s some secret plan, and it may come into effect very soon. Because of how plots work, I need to put my own plans into action.” 

“Your patron of sorts can help you understand.” Meat noted, the vision dissolving further to reveal the Dreamsmith’s waiting area, where Cricket was. @NameIess @TwinStorm

The castle’s eyebrows became angrier, but it could do little to defend itself. 

Rebus was happy with both reactions, and his Plotblade glowed from wherever it was when it wasn’t. They could be left to their own devices for now, but it wouldn’t be long before his plan would fully come into action… 

Cricket sighed with relief. Rose. She was here. Finally. He smiled at her, feeling a weight roll off his chest. "Hey. How'd it go?"

54 minutes ago, Bird Furious said:

Her watch beeped and Bat winced.

The girl glanced at it, then back to Tam, and frowned. "Your name...?"

. . . Right. Right, don't lie.

". . . Tam," she said quietly, barely containing her nervousness.

49 minutes ago, SpiritOfWrath said:

He created a body, then nodded to him. "I'm good."

Utility nodded.

"I can aid you in any other endeavors you wish to pursue."

31 minutes ago, epl2 said:

Taeinid breathed out a sigh of relief. 

"Thank you so much."

Looking around himself, he began to pick up little rocks from the ground. After inspecting each one carefully, some he threw away, while others he put in a small drawstring pouch. 

He nodded.

"What are those for?"

"What are those for?"

The girl glanced at her watch. "It's okay," she soothed. "I get it. I would have used an alias too. Did you live up above before what happened with Rebus?"

She managed a smile. "Thanks. Um . . . I actually had never been to these caverns until a few months ago . . . I lived in a surface town with my brother."

She nodded in Bat's direction. "Then I started dating him, and . . . well, yeah."

She nodded, then grinned. "Nice. Let's go to---" She cut off, then glanced down at her watch and paled. She licked her lips, eyes darting to the corners of the room. "Uh... let's go... this way. Come with me."

Rose sighed. "Inactive?"

Tam blinked, nervous again.

"What is it? Is something wrong?" she asked, looking around the room.

"No," the girl replied, and opened a door on the opposite side of the room.

“Your home doesn Exist anymore. But you can come with me to mine if you promise not to break anything.”

"Okay..."

His lip curled. "Fine. Deal."

Bat followed, looking nervous and uncertain. 

The hallway looked a lot like the caverns above, sloping downward.

She took his hand- as much for her support as his.

She walked down the hallway.

“Great,” he grumbled, walking out the entrance. The sun was bright, and there was snow covering the ground. He walked to the jeep sitting over by the crypt entrance. “Lets get moving,” he said, motioning toward it as he climbed inside

They arrived in a cavern that looked somewhat like Bat's one, but only two levels and quite a bit smaller. Bat frowned. 

People were walking around and being normal. 

It didn't look the way Bat had thought it would. That was weird.

The girl tilted her head at it, but climbed in. And so did her dad, who looked angry.
