Rebus apologized for the confusion, and looked with interest at the mention of iritSp.

She shrugged and threw it at Rebus, before giggling and vanishing again. As they approached Derior, the swarm of phantoms approached. Rebus will feel all his darkest moments and worst memories. All his Despair.

That is the Horror of Misery. It will hurt, but it can only be defeated by pushing through the memories. It will be then be able to be damaged. They must all be destroyed before the memories will fade and it will be defeated.

And I’ll let you rp that, and how he gets through it.

Rebus was nowhere. Rebus did nothing. Rebus tried to- Rebus was nowhere. Rebus scoffed. But that was forgotten. Rebus was nowhere. "This isn't-" Rebus was nowhere. "-really-" Rebus was nowhere. "-your mind." Rebus was nowhere. Information, possibilities of action, spread out before him. And then his Author wrote nothing. "Not true-" Rebus was nowhere. Rebus did everything. Rebus, slowly, did only one thing. It was written. And the memories faded. Lingering echoes, though flickered still. Rebus watched Bat torture Symbol, watched himself beg Fate for help - the only time he had really been without a plan. He brushed them aside, his mind leaping into the phantoms, slamming them with sheer will, unwillingness to break. The memories flared back up, and Rebus was nowhere. And then he really was. 

Rebus altered his mind to deal with what it means to be continually trapped in my imagination, unable to do anything permanent. Of course, even then it's a terrible idea to telepathically connect to the embodiment to Misery.

“I can create something similar enough.”

She grinned. “With your help, of course.”

Another one of the useful things about that is it isn’t reliable to link your mind if your enemy likes to piggyback.

“Oh, so that’s how you do it.”

She brushed away the attack, then began taking over the Nanites. “See, it doesn’t break any rules if it isn’t direct. So long as I’m not directly controlling your Nanites with Parasite, it’s fine.”

Rebus laughed. She had done exactly what he expected. And so he bridged the gap to her mind, linking the two of them together.

So I just say Sandy is not here and he reappears when he's back?

Yeah, he's originally BftS but appeared in Secret Wars.

Yeah - you could specify destination if you wanted, but any attempt to interact outside the Thread would have to be outside the thread.

Matters settled, Taeidin kneels on the ground. Taking some stones, he slides them around each other across the floor, mumbling to himself. After a minute, he frowns. 

"There are many documents that fit the criteria, but for some reason I feel..." He hesitates. "More disturbance? From a few than the others. I've not seen that before." 

Heir, there's something specific Rebus is looking for, right? Where is it right now? 

Rebus watched, legitimately interested by Taeidin's powers. 

Bacon the Bard has it, it think - it's also in Xino's blog, under Lost Pages.

There was a barrier surrounding the area. With Lezterps constant survaliance, it would never get stolen copied or used except for by him.

He would not allow that.

Of course he was falliable,

Nope. He was so focused.

Rebus actually laughed, though it was calculated rather than from genuine mirth. "I cut out my conscience since we last spoke. But if it makes you feel better, Pyk would probably survive."

They screamed louder, increasing the Misery applied. They began to slowly form.

Axzi stood stoically, fighting against his own memories. A single tear trickled down his face. 

We cannot give in, or we will join them. Last a little longer and they can be slain.

All Rebus could feel from Axzi was sorrow and grief, and a sense of betrayed despair, an old wound not yet healed.

Even the little sprite seemed somber, flitting in front of Rebus’ eyes and poking him lethargically.

Cool lore, if somebody gives in to the despair, they become one of the phantoms
