Taeidin pondered this for a second. 

Ah. I believe you are confirming what I already suspected, but I have no way of being certain. 

Rebus chuckled. You’ll find out soon enough, I suspect. 

On 9/4/2025 at 3:43 PM, Hawks said:

"no. Im not leaving i still have work here. I wanna get you out. I cant leave. Because the only thing that matters is making sure you and symbol stay alive. Because..." the wind gets a bit stronger as their breath becomes faster. "It doesnt matter."

Rebus smiled. “That’s good to hear. If you truly mean this, we can start planning.”

A sealed envelope appears in front of Rebus, the wax seal still warm.

Most clones of Rebus were in places with anti-teleportation shielding, but he did keep a few specifically for this kind of situation. Rebus’s nanomachines cleanly removed the seal from the envelope and checked for dangers as Rebus caught and opened it.

Huh. I might. 

God Killer feels a pulse. It is coming from a door. He suddenly looks incredibly sad. He runs full speed towards said door and gets to it. Just as a piece of magic goes through the door, it is destroyed. And there is no way to get it again. God Killer takes the piece of magic, and consumes it. “He’s… he’s alive…”

Rebus nodded. I await your interpretation of me with curiosity. 
Rebus felt he was missing something, which did not often happen to him. “Who are you looking for?”

Do you truly think you can become a villain on that level?

I speak to you to help you. Or hinder you. On your journey. 

I believe so, though I’m not so arrogant to assume it is certain. If you’re offering your assistance, I would accept, though not unconditionally.

“Perhaps you love others. Perhaps you would go to great lengths for them. However, can you truly tell yourself that you deserve their love in return?”

Betrayal gave a small shrug and cut the lighting.

There was a deafening noise and a spear of rock came hurtling at Rebus, breaking the sound barrier as it flew.

Rebus gritted his teeth and a spear of utility fog - likewise supersonic - met the rock in a thunderous crash, molten fragments of rock and nanomachines spraying outwards. “I don’t deserve it, Betrayal. That’s why I’d do practically anything for Symbol.”

they nod. And then promptly stay silent and with a far off look like their brain and body were in two different places and like 3 minutes later they shake their head and come back. "Alright.... if I untie you will you like fight or hurt me or something? Or run away?"

"If I wanted to do those things, I would have tried already." Rebus chuckled, and the nanomachines that made up most of his body separated, turning him into a cloud that easily slipped his bonds before reforming. "Talking is almost always my first plan of action - if you've ever tried to actually fight, it usually comes down to who has the most plot armor or which Author more subborn."

"Oh." Rebus was very orange, but bled to green as he realized the implications. "Except this means he didn't die, correct?"

"With him, he never dies. I have been searching for so so long. If only... if only I could find him. He has died so many times, I didn't believe that this time was the last. So I searched. It appears I was right. But as you can see, I cannot reach him."

Betrayal snorted.

”So you being a soulless, despicable monster- even if it is for someone- makes you worthy of their love?”

He sent hurricane-gale winds at Rebus. He expected this to be blocked, so vanished and appeared behind Rebus, sword slashing. Before a counterattack could be made, he vanished again, this time reappearing a few dozen paces away. Flame blazed in his hands.

"Sorry." he nodded. "I can help with that."

Where is Cricket here?

"You're probably right, but going back on the deal would have severe consequences. Your vault is looking quite secure, by the way - it almost seems as though I can't get in."

"Oh, I'm sure you could figure out a way in if you tried hard enough," said Bacon airily.

On 9/3/2025 at 10:35 PM, Hawks said:

erryin telepathically talked to Bacon whilst listening. 

You seem to know the ending. Can you tell me what it is and why this slontze is here in the first place? How does this relate to you?

 

bad erryin  let him tell the story 

Other-Bacon paused, tilting his head.

"What?" he exclaimed. "Are you bored of the story already?" He narrowed his eyes, then shrugged. "Ah, well. You're more or less all caught up to now: I suppose you'd rather see it play out in reality, hmm?"

He smiled, then walked away, his haunting music continuing to play.

The ending? replied Bacon. Well. He may be the author of this tale, but the ending is stranger and more painful than even he knows. For him... and for everyone else.

His gaze drifted briefly to Selene as he spoke.

erryin watched as he went then followed Bacon's gaze to selene. "I have a feeling this is going to be more complicated then just.... grabbing the clone and leaving isnt it. Whats your personal relation with selene anyways?" They put a hand up "no beating around the bush with dramatics ive had enough of that. Straight to the point."

"I was the author of her story. Nothing more, nothing less." Bacon gestured at their surroundings. "I was the author of all of this, a long time ago. Back when I was much less wise."

"Kidnapping the clone isn't going to do us much good," said Bacon heavily. "He's a Narrator too, remember? He's not going to let himself get trapped. Until we can integrate him back into me, we aren't going to be able to force him to do anything. And if we tried, we'd likely just turn him against us."

dude i could not have created this character with better timing. Though shes only appeared in the thread once. 

they tap their foot. "Narrator..." erryin grins. "I have an idea. My author created a character not to long ago, for a plotline that died out quickly... she had these vines she controlled with nullite in them. They trapped rebus so would they be able to trap the clone?"

they hummed. "Your right...." erryin leaned back. "Could we get him cornered and teleport her there right then. The vine can go from non existent to around a person faster then even the strongest narrator could think. Surely he would have done some research so hed recognize her... but not if its a sneak attack." They offer conjuring a drink and taking a sip. A totally definitely non alcoholic drink because erryin would never ever drink. (Sarcasm.)

Bacon exhaled. "I... really don't think we should try to compete with my past self in this manner. He is not one to take losing well. The risk is too high that he will become something too horrible to name."

"ahem,Bacon. If there is a chance it could come out." They lean forward. "Then I wanna know. Especially if we'd have to fight him. If you dont wanna tell me. Then please grace me with a plan of your own!"

Rebus seemingly stood there as he was  buffeted by the wind, hit with Betrayal’s sword, and set on fire. But the sword had passed through too cleanly, with no resistance, and the fire passed through to the other side. “You misunderstand,” Rebus said, standing on the other side of Betrayal from the hologram. “I don’t deserve Symbol’s trust. I know that.” 

On 9/6/2025 at 12:42 PM, Ashkaloda said:

So... do you still require my assistance?

Rebus thought for a second. Once I determined what the paper says, if I need you I’ll contact you.

Rebus chuckled. “Most likely. Are you implying that I couldn’t get back out once I did?”
