KeCil looked around for the source of the voice. "Who said that? How do you know my name?"

An eye open from nothing in the air in front of him. The pupil was a hall into darkness, out of which a malformed figure stepped from.

”I am… the Spirit of Corruption. I can give you this Power, for a price. There is something I Wish to find. You will retrieve it for me.”

The figure turned. “I am not without reason, however. Before this absolute, I will grant you other Power, to assist you in your task.”

@Hawks

Pyk coughed violently, eyes watering. “Woah. Sorry, not sure what that was.”

He looked apprehensively to the Hasrathan, who had green phlegm almost blanketing its cloak.

Sequence nodded, only partially understanding... "Alright then!" Sequence broadcasted a mental message out to Cricket, wherever they might be.

'Hello Cricket! Bacon the Bard, Malevolance, and I are building a vault to protect a certain slip of paper, which you know, I believe! Would you mind using your Enuller powers to help defend the vault? I'm not exactly certain how they work, so that part would be up to you... Thank you in advance! -Sequence.'

@TwinStorm

Cricket phased back into existence. "Sorry, I was . . . distracted, but I can help you. Where is the paper, in question?"

*sighhhhhh* ok

“uhhh im not an expert on humans… none of us are.. we dont understand them or how they work, like they dont follow basic rules.” A few others nod and say agreements 

What? She's an orderly… person.

Ryna straightened, her expression firm as she thought through the situation. “Alright,” she said decisively. “Here’s what we’ll do.”

She pointed toward the villagers’ territory. “First, I need to gather information—who makes the decisions, what they fear losing, what they care about. You’ll help me observe from the forest, quietly. No interference yet.”

She paused, letting the plan sink in. “Second, we find leverage. A reason for them to stop cutting trees that benefits them, not just you. Humans respond to gain or loss, not morality.”

“Finally,” she continued, her tone steady, “we approach carefully. I’ll speak with them directly, backed by what you’ve observed. We won’t fight. We’ll persuade.”

She folded her arms, eyes scanning the nymphs and sprites. “Stick to this plan. Patience, precision, and caution. Anything else risks the forest—and you.”

We should probably start combining some story threads. I'll see what I can do.

[Through the Living Shadow he/him]

Just now, Kino said:

"Umm..... Okay.."

A wave of Power washed over him, and It disappeared.

A little girl appeared in front of him. “You! You need find me! Find me, okay?”

He felt the Power, just barely contained.

3 minutes ago, Hawks said:

Asher looked over “pyk?? You can get sick??”

“…no. I shouldn’t be able to.” His voice was edged with worry.

Sain gave a cry, and crumbled, the cloak falling. It was now fully empty.

KeCil looked around. " Well, I suppose I better get started." He picked a direction a strode away. 

What exactly does the power do?

Pyk's eyes widened. "I have no idea!"

He started to viciously cough, but concentrated for a moment before relaxing. "I should be cured."

"No. But I should be fine by now."

In fact, however, Asher may be getting a slight cold, depending on her natural and or supernatural resistance.

Hmmmm for plot purposes she will get a bit of a cold cause technically she hasn't summoned any of her powers yet so shes basically a normal human just strong and fast. 

Asher sneezes. then sneezes again.

The cold is a bit magical, but it doesnt have the power yet to transcend more powerful magical immunity

In the future, it will be able to infect Enullers

Pyk looked worriedly at her. "Are you okay?"

erryins eyes were empty and they were wearing all black, the same fit they wore back when they had uh h put a lot of people to sleep forever

Subversion appeared hurriedly. "Ah, wait! Erryin, you don't need to do this."

7 hours ago, Sequence said:

"Fiction can still be important, can't it? Haven't you ever felt saddened by the death of a favorite character in a book? If an event such as that elicits emotion, that gives it weight, doesn't it?"

"As a matter of fact, no I have not." Subversion shrugged. "I'm not a big fan of reading."

He raised a hand, and her symptoms lessened.

The Father looks exasperated. "What are all of you doing here! You"—he points at dark Cep—"shouldn't be here at all, and that one"—pointing at Erryin—"isn't supposed to be here until later. And don't even get me started on you." He points at Subversion. "Meddlesome fiend. This is not your territory."

Perfect

Dark Cep snorts. "But it is. Elaborate to me exactly how killing people doesn't solve all their problems."

( @Ashkaloda all the above is happening in the same Mindscape)
