They sit crisscrossed and nod “so your evil? Im only seeking it cause i made a stupid deal. I should ask if i can get out of it. But something tells me that this will be ending bad and i should be here to help in case all hell breaks loose.”

"A very stupid deal, if you didn't even ask what the paper was before agreeing to get it. And yes, I'm evil. Not nearly so evil as the Witherlord, however."

15 minutes ago, Ashkaloda said:

Taeidin is momentarily surprised by the appearance of Malevolence, but then recovers. 

"It summons the Witherlord? Huh."

He seems intrigued. 

"We asked first."

"Yes, but you asked the wrong way. I made it very clear what I was willing to do to get the paper, if Bacon doesn't comply willingly." Malevolence frowned wrily. "Although Bacon may rather die than hand the paper over, and I also may not be able to kill him, so perhaps tricking him would have been a more intelligent approach."

3 minutes ago, Sequence said:

"Bacon!" She said, sounding panicked. "You should destroy the paper, now. If it has anything to do with summoning... you know... then it should be destroyed immediately." 

Malevolence's eyes flickered over to Sequence. "Knowledge such as this cannot be destroyed. The Authors will not allow it."

Just now, Hawks said:

erryin stood recognizing her from the parties. “Sequence, ive done some research. I have come to the conclusion that im dropping my deal. Regardless of what it does. Im not letting this happen. If whatever is gonna happen is enough for the major authors to return after not being here… then i want to help prevent it from happening. Even if it does the one thing i dont want which is becoming a bigger part in the thread i will.” They turn to malevolence @NameIess “I’ll help you. Ill stop trying to get it and stop others.”

Malevolence looked surprised. "Excellent. For now, though, we do need the paper. So long as it is in Bacon's hands, the Thread will never be safe."

Sequence opened her mouth to speak, but couldn't find words. Malevolence was right. 
"What do you plan on doing with it?" She asked instead.

"It appears I am outvoted. You may do what you will, for now."

He steps back, but makes no move to leave. 

There's like 10 characters all congregated here

Guys ill respond in a sec im at lunch in line

20 minutes ago, Sequence said:

"You shouldn't make deals with Malevolence!" Sequence cried. "Nobody should need to prevent people from obtaining the paper because it should be destroyed immediately! Why are we even discussing this?! What could anybody possibly need to summon... The Witherlord for?" Sequence looked sick as the word left her mouth, and the leaned on her cane heavily.

“its not a deal its an offer. Assistance.. willing. Whatever. I wont. But i dont know. It’s rebus… he’s bad. I just want to help. I want to stop being a coward and sitting to the side watching.”

Sequence's thoughts raced for a moment.
"... How could you be trusted to take care of it?? How are you any more trustworthy than Bacon? Actually, I can answer that. You aren't."
Sequence's expression was one of uncharacteristically steely resolve as she summoned Conflict In her right hand. The Plotblade took the form of a brilliantly gleaming spear.
"... I think... I think I want to take it. I'll bring it to my world, and seal it deep beneath the crust of the planet. Nobody will ever lay their hands on it."

Malevolence turned to Sequence. "You think you can beat me?" He sneered derisively. "I suppose it is possible, with that Blade you carry." He gestured toward the frozen Bacon. "Perhaps we should wait until he responds to my 'request' before battling to the death."

they pause. “Im a narrator. Who is kinda like the scribe now that i think about it. Anyways im not the most experienced and very not knowlededged on this place. BUT IM PANICKING.” They take a deep breath “please. Just tell me what the paper does. And why it’s so horrible to let rebus have it.”

"I can't do that. Just trust me, its bad!"

Taeidin frowns. "I disagree."

"Well, I disagree with your disagreement. So there." Bacon refrained from sticking his tongue out, as he was a refined and polished individual.

"Excuse me Cricket, it seems Bacon is being pressured into giving up the paper. I must be going."

Malevolence disappeared in a crackle of lightning.

@TwinStorm

Malevolence appeared in front of Bacon. He wore a suit of all-white armor with a violet cape to match his eyes. He raised his Mordite sword held casually in one hand. "Hello Bacon. I think you will want to give me that paper. For you see, I am the only one who truly knows how to prevent Rebus from using it to summon the Witherlord."

@xinoehp512

"Wait, what?" said Bacon, bewildered. "What do you mean? How would that be possible?"

A moment later. "Aw, dangit, now everyone knows."

2 hours ago, Sequence said:

  

So much speak of the Witherlord was enough to alert Sequence, who then appeared.

 

"Bacon!" She said, sounding panicked. "You should destroy the paper, now. If it has anything to do with summoning... you know... then it should be destroyed immediately." 

Bacon sighed. "I would if I could," he grumbled. "But according to Onyx, it would just appear randomly somewhere else."

“wait so you didn’t know it could summon the WITHERLORD??”

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Bacon didn't dignify that with a verbal response.

He did, however, play four long, sad trombone notes. In a dignified manner, of course.

19 minutes ago, Hawks said:

“wait so you didn’t know it could summon the WITHERLORD??”

"No, I knew," grumbled Bacon. "And I wanted to keep it a secret so that people wouldn't try to come after me for it. Well, I suppose that ship has sailed! Now that you know, are you reconsidering your deal with Rebus?"

When flower wakes up she in in a comfy bed with a…. Elf? Uhm maybe.. a figure, tall and thin wearing very earthy clothes, but in the stone kind of earthy. Making tea. They have short grey green hair and pointy ears with sharp features.

are Andry and Freedom here as well?
Flower sits up surprised and backs up against the headboard of the bed “Who are you!” She says “Last I remembered I was talking to flower and now I’m here where am I and who are you” she sounds scared and on the brink of tears but you can’t tell whether your the reason she’s scared and sad or if it’s something else

Who? If they were passed out or near her a few minutes after she passed out then yeah they likely are

"Rebus knew, and I have reason to believe certain... forces of darkness, shall we say, that I was in contact with until recently had some sort of insight in the matter, so the secret was already out." Malevolence waved his sword at Bacon. "Now, will you kindly hand over the paper? I do not want to harm you, but if my choices are between your death and Rebus summoning the Witherlord, I will choose the former."

The unspeakable creatures of the night, of course, didn’t know this. They attacked, eager to destroy the one who’d brought the cursed light.

God Slayer readied his sword. With just a single blow, he summoned the power of the sky and the power to drill through his enemies, and stabbed. The enemies in front of him burst into an explosion.

Wait the latter? Like... you want Rebus to summon the witherlord... not kill Bacon? 

I figured wirh context you'd say you would kill Bacon to not have to deal with the witherlord????

"Because, unlike you, I am willing to do whatever it takes to prevent Rebus from summoning the Witherlord." Malevolence spread his arms wide. "Search my soul, Narrator. There is no deceit in my words. I have sworn to prevent Rebus's plan from coming to fruition, and my Author has affirmed my honesty."
