“You may do the latter briefly, but not the former, if you want your reward.” 

"Okay. I am assuming Time Travel counts." Lezterp said, teleporting away.

While teleporting away, Lezterp used a strange pretzel in his pocket. "Hello? Yeah, I have a mission for you. Yes, I qued up the button. Yes, I will contact you when necessary."

Can Rebus tell if someone is lying?

“It does.” Rebus watched the pretzel gremlin leave. 
Only if it relates to a bargain - for instance, he’d immediately catch a fake Plotblade even if it was exact, because the agreement was to take it from Rebel. But he can also read the Thread, so he does know he’s being plotted against. He doesn’t care too much, though - he gets something he wants no matter what.

Lezterp got to Rebel.

Rebel was standing on a tower seemingly made from gold, speaking to a hovering figure (@TwinStorm). He looked alarmed, but didn't make any move besides pointing the golden scepter in his hand in Lezterp's general direction. "I assume you've come to kill me."

"Now, now. Kill is a strong term. I... have come to negotiate. Sure, Rebus gave me the teleportation device. Sure, Rebus told me to kill you. However, all I am really here for, is that" Lezterp pointed at the golden scepter. "In fact, I dont need it permanently. I merely... want to look at it."

"This?" Rebel asked, "The decoy? What you want is the Plotblade - I suppose there is no harm in allowing you to look at it." He produced a brilliantly glowing sword from a sheath inside his coat - which was seemingly made of gold, of course - and tossed it to Lezterp. Lezterp was sure, completely and utterly, that this sword was immensely important and immensely powerful - giving it to Rebus, or back to Rebel, or to anyone else, would be a waste.

“I can. Rebus can as well, though it should harm him.” Rebel frowned. “Other than that, he’s almost invincible. The man is clever, paranoid, and powerful - that’s a dangerous combination, even if he wasn’t willing to burn the world to keep himself alive. You’d have to hunt down every backup he has if you wanted to kill him conventionally - your best bet is to make him or the Authors welcome his death. I can help you with that…” 

Atreides smiled. "Exactly. Alone, I could never defeat him. Our last encounter taught me that. But with you . . . besides, I've been taught some things. Win the Author over. Make him want you."

Fael appeared beside Lezterp, Narrationblade at the ready. "Actually, that's my job."

"Yes... with the Plotblade we could break his character arc, if I had more power." 

Fael also noticed how powerful the blade Lezterp had just been thrown was. And actually, when had Rebus ever said he'd reward someone who didn't bring it back? Clearly, if she wanted it or the reward, she'd need to take it from Lezterp - and Rebel, since he was probably still bonded to it.

"You need more power, eh? Plotblade could work."

Fael weighed these options in her head, noticing a second Author's intrusion on her thoughts. That was interesting, she noted. Two Authors in her head was strange. Not bad. Strange. 

She eyed the Blade for a moment, then sprinted at Lezterp, transforming her blade into a knife.

"There's not enough power produced to do anything major in a reasonable timeframe. Plotblades have drawbacks with their strengths - another could have more power, but ruin your life. Another Plotblade, Narration, ambient presence of finery, or souls could all be used by the Blade to do what I want - in fact, if those two get the Blade to Rebus while I am still its master, I can claim Rebus's soul and power and use it for what it should be."

I NEEDED TIME TO REACT

Lezterp thought to himself, Oh. Some sort of... mind distortion field?

Lezterp hit the button on his pretzel shaped comunicator, and teleported away.

Im going to do a little thing people can read

"So, Emit. Thanks for this." Lezterp said. "Lets go on a journey."

Just as Lezterp disappeared, he immediately came back. He paused for a moment, and then threw the plotblade back to Rebel. "I got what I came here for. Now, for what Rebus sent me here for"

I AM GOING TO SLEEP

GOODBYE

"Fair." he nodded. "I . . . well, my Author, upon my return, gave me a Plotblade. A new one." he said, summoning a brilliant golden sword. "Crusade."

Fael turned, summoning seven knives in the air around her, and mentally hurling them all at Lezterp.

"Woah woah woah," Lezterp said, the knives bouncing off his suddenly impenetrable body. "I'm not here to kill you. Why the aggression?"

Dot the Jesk sighed. "Uh no. Im not high dear child. But as for the other person, im here to make sure you dont rescue that boy before the plan is complete" he laughs. "So fun. Anyways what are your names?"

"Bacon's the name. Whatever your dastardly plan is, I'm sure it'll fail!"

“Emit… hmmm. I may try to arrange a meeting… Regardless, you two should probably head out - take these.” Rebus constructed two teleporters with the utility fog override commands. “Alright. These are fairly automatic - if you have utility fog and a task for it, you should be able to figure out the controls. Any utility fog not actively being protected will be taken over by these, which should let you get the drop on Rebel. Don’t break them unless you want a big explosion, the teleporter can get you to and from here, and that button will activate it. Good luck.” 

“Ask, and promise that you’ll use it to save the Thread from destruction whenever necessary.” 

“He would. Perhaps I should talk to him, if I can find a guide into his Realm.” 
Rebel was outside that city that Malevolence had been invading, building a tower out of gold towards the portal. 

"Alrighty then! I promise. Where do I sign?"

"Okay, okay, let's slow down here. Do you want a pretzel?" Lezterp said, holding a pretzel out in front of him.

Is it possible for things to be unnarratable?

a small child walked out. And im just going to put a photo of her. Though she is wearing different clothes and they are the same color scheme as the dress but a shirt and shorts.

Spoiler

"hey dot. uh how do I start the machine?" She asks 

dot leans down and whispers in her ear and pats her head "okie, go on now" he says in a soft and kind voice.

"now I assure you my dear bacon, the plan is already working."
