"Alright." she said, still ensure. "Then do it."

"I know who I am." he said, tendrils of dark energy exploding from his chest and lashing at Xanther.

Stone's heart broke. He felt so bad for them. "Is there . . . anything I can do?"

He absorbed the energy into his staff and yawned. “It appears your Author has a different reason for this interaction than mine does.” 

Rose decided he was insane. Like everyone else here. 

51 minutes ago, Through The Living Glass said:

Whoever it was saw that he was protecting his face and kicked him in the groin instead.

"GO. AWAY."

They shook their head.

"You've done plenty for me. Thank you."

Nemesis gave up. 

He decided not to count it as a rejection, since he didn’t even know if it was a girl or not.

“Hah! No. This is one of mine.” 

"So no magic or trickery besides pure word?"

“Of course not. Though I may implement that idea in future promises. Heh. That could be interesting.”

Xanther bowed. “Thank you for your assurances. That will do for now, I believe. Tribute will be due in two pages.” He vanished.

"Well . . . I don't wanna leave you. I feel . . . I need to make sure you find somewhere. Somewhere you're happy."

A very beautiful girl appeared by Nemesis.

Xanther grinned and vanished in a cloud of purple smoke. That was a problem for another time.

"Oh?" Cricket replied, hurling his knives at him.

Xanther knocked them all away with his staff, moving with incredible precision. 

“My Author is trying to showcase me and determine the tangibility of my strength. Which, admittedly, is more than she expected. Your Author is trying to do the same for you… but you are at a disadvantage due to the nature of my prowess. I find it doubtful that you will win this battle.” 

-

She wasn’t really his type, but he was in no place to be picky. 

He offered her his arm. “Be my girlfriend,” he demanded. 

It may be noted that he was rather intimidating.

The voice was most definitely female. And kind of familiar, actually.

Yeah you should, literally just make up a character

 

@Bird Furious I don't want to go looking for the last thing to quote so

The leader of the Tah-kahal whose name the Author already forgot looks at Xanther, and then extends his hand.

"It's a deal. Give me the power, and I shall destroy the King."

Asharak chooses to be able to access information and control the network through his own brain. He seems quite giddy to have such reach and control.

Rebus smiled, and sent thoughts to the man. Good choice - few people are willing to modify themselves, but the benefit is great. You’ll feel the ability to control utility fog; nanomachines in the air around me - and now you - that lock together and move around while remaining nearly invisible. 

15 hours ago, Bird Furious said:

"Warmth. Look around. It's freezing." 

Xanther would gladly give him as much time as he needed. "Oh, and they don't need to be magical or anything. That would certainly be a perk, but a mere pair of gloves, properly characterized, would suffice." 

Mr. Whitlock grabbed blindly for a chair and sat heavily. 
"You killed my son," he whispered. 

Nemesis folded his arms. "Do you know where any girls are? Any at all?"  Hehe. It would kinda be fun to see somebody slap him. You could make a new character here and Rebus could send her and Nemesis to go conquer a planet or something--- idk, that's the first idea that popped into my head. 

Rebus gestured to lack of coat and intermittent shivering. “I am very well aware. Could you find tinder - I have some kindling and larger sticks over that way?” 
Rebus smiled, revealing two pairs of gloves. The first were a strange leather, and had palms studded with crystals the color of the sky, while the second were a much smoother material and shimmered the same sky-blue on the palms. “These are from an old story idea my Author has been considering rewriting - the first pair are authentic to the worldbuilding, while the second pair I made with the crystals from the story.” 
Rebus sighed. “Sadly, I did cause his death. Part of me wants to bring him back, but Tam disappeared, and Bat was torturing someone with magic and had attempted to kill me - he’d somehow manifested powers, so I think he even could. I understand if you don’t want to continue working for me, but I don’t feel I could have done anything else.” 

“I do, but considering that you’ve been slapped at least twice and kicked in the groin, I have a feeling that this one might not be good for your health. Also, I believe an early version of you killed her.” That’d be fun. I kinda want to have a vampire or spider-person or siren or something accept his offer and then try to kill him - though he might consider that a success. 

15 hours ago, CoderDrag0n8 said:

He narrowed his eyes. "Is this like one of Rebus's 'promises'?"

Rebus’s promises are genuine (and actually magic - he can’t break them), but he usually has people agree to them without knowing the consequences - should someone outwit him somehow he would continue to keep the promise. 

6 hours ago, Ashkaloda said:

Taeidin folds his arms. 

"What are you offering?" 

Taeidin is aware of this, Rebus having shown him this ability in the past, and it is the reason for his silence regarding Cep's question as he thinks. 

@Kaladin Stormcursed

I shall assume this is to Rebus. 

“I will be incorporating planets into my empire - unless they are sufficiently unique, this entails converting them into nanomachines which can then form any structure desired, and molecularly assemble nearly any item.”  Rebus constructed an apple with his utility fog, tossing it to Taeidin. “Those benefits shall be afforded to many of my citizens, including - potentially - you.” 

6 hours ago, TwinStorm said:

"Alright." she said, still ensure. "Then do it."

Rebus nodded, and waved a hand, directing a machine to rise from the floor and activate. Fael felt a painful tugging sensation, and her core was pulled from her body. It hovered within the machine, and Rebus placed the wire contraption over it. “Good - let off a pulse of raw Narration, please, so we can check if this works.”

Rebus teleported a spaceship the size of a small moon above the planet a few pages back - though I can understand how it got lost.

She pulled out a knife and broke a stick off the tree, then carefully began carving it into tiny shavings. 

He examined the gloves. “Hmm. Suitable, though I do have some questions considering the color and wear of the leather, the length of the gloves, and the configurations of the crystal.” 

Mr. Whitlock sat down heavily and rubbed his head. 
“You’re a Narrator, right?” He whispered. “Is there… could you Narrate him back? Please. To before he was… whatever happened at the end.” I’d be interested to see how such a thing would play out. I’m up for doing a doppelgänger Bat, but it would also be cool to see you try. Up to Rebus, though.

“What do you mean, I killed her?? Killed who?” 

He would. He definitely would.

Xanther grinned and removed a plain golden band from his finger. He held it up until it glowed with a blueish light. “This ring will give you invincibility, and the power to reduce any man to ashes unless imbued with greater power. Me, for example. The King you oppose is still a threat, as he too is imbued, but with enough effort, you should at least be able to contest with him now, being invincible. Simply do not lose this ring.” 

He offered it to the king.

-

“She did it first,” Nemesis complained to the sky, after stopping for half a second as a result of the lightning. “I didn’t even touch her! Hmph.”
