"Of course!" Bacon began to play a peppy melody on the flute. Colors blurred around them, then resolved into a brand new location.

atlas looked around. They landed in an all metal city. There was a large building a few blocks away and the gravity was very low.

ok so Imma just level with you

idk what's happening rn

I have no clue what I'm doing 

Remind me whoe Sagerian is? Xanther might be willing to delegate the worldbuilding of the area of the caverns where Bat is 

I hope you did sleep. *hugs* 

Good luck with the end of school!

Also @Through The Living Glass @Dragonheir we should probably figure smth out with the dreamsmith soon cuz Idk if @NameIess is coming back

I think that is something that happens to all of us. 

I have been told to send a character to interact with Bat so you can get momentum going. I can either take some random townsperson, or have Sagerian get there somehow (or, if you have another idea, do that). 

Sagerian is literally just some guy with a book. He came from an early-industrial world, and left with some random magical visitor so he could write a book about the places beyond. He writes down the things that happen to him, and his singular ability is good problem solving - in a fight, he'd be obliterated (or run away). 

I did. Not quite enough, though - I'm hoping the weekend will give me a chance to offset the sleep debt I accrued this week. 

Thanks! 

Yeah... I think I can take over dreamsmithery, though maybe not the Dreamsmith himself. Actually... @TwinStorm 

Cricket and Rose's respective combat tests paused, and Rebus appeared. "The Dreamsmith is back, it seems. I can take you there, or Cricket can."

It is, though Rebus helped build it, and Symbol had taken over and renovated the place. I'm not sure whose possession it is in now. And I can keep character development far away from you - Jack needs some, perhaps, but you're quite fun the way you are. 

Jack was a little confused by the man talking to himself. Of course, perhaps that was normal human behavior - it wasn't like he knew many.

They want you to run some sort of storyline, presumably of your choice. I guess they don't think enough is happening (this may be true)? 

Unrelatedly, if you have/want to make a second character, I have a Rebus-related plotline I may start (Glass is quite understandably sick of him, and Haly is already in a plotline with me).

Honestly even with someone to interact with Bat it probably would just fall off again

I need someone to do the world for me or like

I need to send him somewhere I don't control or something because I just can't make myself write the extended scenes this deserves between Bat and another random character 

Might rope @CoderDrag0n8 into GM ing for me with Bat or something 

Somebody to interact with would be a good start though

Sagerian would be good and maybe fit with Bat trying to become Protagonist 

Rose almost turned her laser on him before she realized what was happening. "Oh, nice! Okay." 

It's not that there aren't enough plotlines; it's just that I feel there are too few GMs and it's just too centralized which might be a stupid thought idk I'm too tired to dress up my words rn and ik I'm realistically not doing much but it's hard to get invested when it feels like there's nobody there and

Alright. Glass is sick of him, but Rebus could show up, tell Bat that, and tell him Tam is "dead" because Bat is being boring. 

I can run stuff, if you want. I don't have a world at the moment, but I'm good at improvising. 

Yeah, he's definitely a support character, which works well. 

Rebus stood there, waiting for Cricket. 

Yeah, I know what you're talking about. I think if I go back to actually running multiple plots and not just having Rebus mess with everything, it may help.

That'd be good, actually. Potentially dead might be better to motivate him, but whatever you think. 

I might use Bat to drag you into something to catch the Dreamsmith's attention. If whoever's running The Great Hero or whoever was on trial a while ago happens to have more time in summer, he might go to him and be like "soooo protagonist" but I don't think he actually knows about that so maybe he'll just start by asking around about protagonist or smth.

Tam is dead, plot-wise. She’s suffered the very fate Rebus has spent all this effort trying to avoid. 
Alright, that works. I think it was the Brave Adventurer (the new one, I guess?), or maybe the Great Wizard - if the former, that’s NameIess, but the latter might be Xino? I’ll be less likely to have a lot of time during the summer, given that I’ll be at camp for much of it - I think if you bring your phone you get an hour every couple of days to call home and stuff, and that’s it.

Yeah, you’re right. 
Camp is not for several weeks - but yeah, now that Symbol has been brainwashed Rebus would pick Nemesis to manage his affairs. 
Do you want Rebus, Sagerian, or a character you give me to interact with Bat?

I didn’t mean to manage his affairs, but he might do that if rebus asks. 

I think it’d be cool if rebus showed up and told Bat Tam was dead and then Sagerian came and tagged along. But whatever you want is fine.
