HALYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY SHE'S BEAUTIFULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

*SQUEEZES*

She huffed and waited.

-

He smiled and laid back down on the grass.

Alright.

She's... supposed to be... I still feel like I failed 

Thank you  

She'd have to wait just a little longer. 

-

She rested her head on his chest and fell asleep.

She growled and waited some more.

He smiled at how quickly she fell asleep, and attempted to do so himself.

Which he did.

I was forced on a campout and disappeared again

Sorry

Natsu says,

"Suddenly, Pineapples."

and chaos ensues.

He nodded. "Sounds smart."

"Alright." he frowned, thinking it through. He liked the idea. Recently, he had started to feel listless, as if his Author was struggling to find a place for him. The only thing that could shake that feeling was Rose. But this . . . it was a mission, greater than himself, one he could fight for.

He nodded shakily. "Who else was invited?"

"Savior Complex? Well . . . I . . ." he frowned. The Blade vibrated a bit, rumbling in his mind. Save lives. Save lives. it chanted. 

"My Author sent it to me. I mean . . . I found it. I guess he wanted me to have it, for some reason."

"From your Author?" said Bacon, alarmed. "Burn it!"

“No. I haven’t - and I don’t think I can. A Narrator could do it - I could probably do it - but I wouldn’t really be a squirrel, you know?” 

Rebus nodded in approval. “You two are the first ones I thought of. As for more candidates, I’ll have to choose carefully. If you’re familiar with the rules of stories, there’s a concept known as “conservation of ninjutsu”; when having more people with similar capabilities on a side causes them to be less effective individually. For instance, if you’re fighting one, say, withergeist, it can be a fairly difficult fight. But if you go up against a dozen withergeists, you’ll find that each individual withergeist is suddenly far easier to kill, and the battle is only slightly harder than the last one. Having names, personalities, unique powers, and different Authors all typically make someone far harder to kill. It’ll also allow a variety of different skills, which even discounting plot-based planning is very useful. I’ll look around the party, and maybe contact some Authors.” 
 @SpiritOfWrath, @Hawks, @Through The Living Glass, and anyone who happens to be reading this, do you have characters you want Rebus to give special ops training to? It’s a good use for stagnated characters or ones who need a power boost, and the (legitimately, for once) only cost is pledging to fight people actively attempting to destroy the Thread, with reasonable exceptions for inability and unavailability. 

"Whatever do you mean? Surely a squirrel is a squirrel."

That made Bat a little irritated, but he was still mentally exhausted, so he didn’t mind too much. “Come on.”

Snow didn’t care much for the mechanics. He was just happy to have a magic friend. 

The door to the cabin opened and shut. Snow jumped, running to hide in a nearby cabinet. Mr. Whitlock approached the table, holding several boxes, which he set down next to his workstation. Seeing Chord in his machine, he hesitated. 

-

She shrugged. “That’s a good point. Oooh, mud.” 

The latter exclamation was largely influenced by the Author’s current surroundings.

-

 Rose stared at it, anxiously. 

“That would be my guess,” Symbol smirked. 

“Yeah, wouldn’t it be awesome?”

"Right then. One moment, please."

Bacon retired to the restroom to wash off the glitter. When he returned, he was as sparkly as ever. In fact, the glitter seemed to have multiplied.

"Well last I checked. Her friend was killed... and now she's alone and needs help with life.."

Maybe. Im conniving bacon to help my inactive character rn to restart her story and im pretty sure Rebus has met her b4 xD

"How tragic! Where is this poor soul?"

On 5/3/2025 at 4:09 PM, Through The Living Glass said:

"Unsure. I am not able to access that information."

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

@Bird Furious what about Shoe and Beosta? We were trying to find plot for them, right?

She took his hand again and walked beside him.

Sheldon woke up on her shoulder and chirped softly.

Eventually.

Finally, something beeped and Bat was released from the strange sort of holding pattern. He shook his head, feeling disoriented, but followed the woman forward to the end of the corridor and an absolute bunker of a door. Glancing behind him, he saw a marching door at the other end of the corridor.

The woman waited at the door for a second beep before she opened it with no trouble at all and stepped out into a little carpeted room. 

Bat stepped out too, frowning at the relatively cozy…

Oh, scud. 

As soon as the woman opened the small glass inner-room, Bat hurried to the window. 

-

Beosta dreamed about an owl arguing that he needed Shoe more than she did. She tied the owl in a knot before he could steal Shoe.

Adorable. Almost as adorable as her convenience store sandcastle :3

Shoe was dreaming about muffins. Beosta was there with him, of course.

When he arrives he sees atlas of whom he’s met before (i think) on the ground next to a pile of ashes crying. She looks up and sees him with tear stains on his face. “Bacon?”

"Alright. Sounds simple enough."

“I didn’t say it wouldn’t be. Oh - don’t break these things unless you want a pretty significant explosion; they’re powered by antimatter, though they are quite durable.” 

23 hours ago, Bird Furious said:

"Oooo," Snow said, eyes lighting up. "We have a piano now!" 

Mr. Whitlock nodded thoughtfully, but said nothing. 

"Ah, that's a sad thought," she said softly. "I think... there are things I ought to keep. But some things need to go." 

"Both. All of them. Yes." 

"I'm doing it! Yes. Let's do it!" 

Lady Bug laughed from somewhere else. Save the world, mmhmm. I'm the one doing that. Though I suppose i'm not doing such a good job so far. Are you done with your little moment? I need my experiment back. 

Actually, I’ve been pulling how Chord should work from a YouTube video someone showed me - they made a piano that could move its keys, and figured out how to make it talk. “Yup! Do you like any songs?” 
Rebus kept walking, looking around at the mountain(?). After a moment, he spoke again, “I understand if you wouldn’t want to be away from your family, so I created three different options - plus, of course, declining. Firstly, you could continue to live here, but work in my laboratory - the technology I have is advanced enough to provide nigh-instantaneously transportation. Secondly, you and your family could come live nearby to my laboratory - again, advanced technology means you could have basically whatever you needed. I’ve been trying to give it out and improve living standards, but people are reluctant for some reason. Thirdly, you could have most of my schematics and test materials here - there are some that I want to classify, of course - and send in any progress or prototype designs you can’t make here. As for payment, I can do a lot of things - advanced technology, once again. I doubt you’d actually have a use for a bunch of pure gold, or a diamond the size of a house, but occasionally people have asked me for them, and that is a thing I can make with little trouble. I’m not trying to bribe you or anything - honestly dealing in material goods stops making sense once you have space travel and cascade production - but I can probably deliver whatever you ask.” 
Rebus would have tears in his eyes, but as usual he didn’t do that automatically. “And I’ll be with you - and waiting for you here, protecting the two of us so we can do this.” 

Rebus chuckled. “What about ‘requires a layer of nanomachines a foot thick’ did I not articulate? I can do levitation and telekinesis via utility fog, ‘iron skin’ which will actually be far stronger via nanomachine armor, lightning via electro-lasers or tesla coils, energy blasts via normal lasers or an approximation via utility fog, acid spit via either manufacturing acid or self-replicating nanomachines, healing via nanomachines, enhanced physical abilities via nanomachines, barriers via utility fog, any kind of conjuration via molecular assembly… anyway, most of the powers you might want can be duplicated through utility fog, molecular assembly, and enhancement nanomachines - and I also have lasers, antigravity, teleporters, and any sort of normal technology.” Rebus wasn’t actually sure who he was talking to, so he decided that he explained similar information to both Beosta and Rose. 
No, actually. I’m not done being with Symbol. I’m sure you’re very altruistic and all, but I’m actually quite selfish, and don’t care too much if you’re saving the world. If you tell me what you’re doing to her, she might simply let you - and I’ll go with her. Otherwise, unless you’d like to be sent a mentally hazardous message, go away. 

22 hours ago, Through The Living Glass said:

He pulled back after a moment, smiling happily.

I guess we could go back to the castle and find someplace to sleep, if you want.

Rebus sighed, since he’d literally just made an entire planet into potential sleeping locations. But he stayed awake through the entire night, though completely immobile in parade rest. Maybe Shoe would want to retroactively talk to him - Beosta could stay asleep.

"Whatever do you mean? Surely a squirrel is a squirrel."

“Yes. A squirrel is a squirrel, and I am me. If I was a squirrel, I would still be me, unless I wasn’t me, in which case I would be a squirrel, but I wouldn’t be a squirrel. S’more?”
