Perhaps you can see my confusion. 

Taeidin takes the right path.

Oh. I meant have Taeidin mark his turns, like chalk on the wall or something

No activity since Saturday?? Oh dear, this will not do...

Sequence decided it was time to throw another party! Not as a page milestone, but... Maybe just for fun? That's allowed, right? Surely... Ah, well, Sequence is a Narrator, she can do what she wants!

While Sequence and Aelinor swept the floors of the lakeside cabin with the extra large porch for parties, Sequence began to formulate an invitation in her head.

Dearest dwellers of the Longest Thread, it's me again! I would like to invite you all to a gathering, a party of sorts! Just for fun, you know? There are many new faces on the Thread whom I have not met yet! I'll brew lots of tea, and provide other such refreshments, and we can all get a chance to relax and catch up! I'll be hosting on my world, of course, which anybody can access by simply looking up to the stars, and declaring,
'Great Elephant and Thread, take me to safety, take me to solace. I promise no violence and I promise civility, grant me entrance to Sequence's world.'
I hope to see you soon!
With wishes of love and good fortune,
Sequence

Freedom looked up into the stars. It’s been a while since they saw them. Saw them for what they truly are. A fabrication. That starlight, their starlight, was fake. A mirage. Freedom yearned for the true stars. The ones that shined.

“Great Elephant and Thread, take me to safety, take me to solace. I promise no violence and I promise civility, grant me entrance to Sequence's world.” Freedom said. “Maybe it’ll be better than I think.”

Ohh. Taeidin has near-photographic memory, so he doesn't see the need to. 

Taeidin decides again to go right, wondering if perhaps the new section was not as important as it initially seemed.

Ok

It turns left to a split. He gets a sense that he should maybe check the direction of his destination from this side.

Taeidin, taking the cue, again attempts to discern in which direction he should travel to reach the center. Theoretically, he should be able to know the path he should take to get there, however for consistency purposes, it may instead only serve as a compass.

He gets a sense directing him straight ahead. However, there is a wall right there, the corridor extending out to the sides.

Erryin looks at it. “Huh sure id love to hang with sequence.” 

They look up. “Great Elephant and Thread, take me to safety, take me to solace. I promise no violence and I promise civility, grant me entrance to Sequence's world.”

Erryin, along with all of the other guests, found themselves standing on a large wooden porch of a large wooden cabin, which sat on the edge of a beautiful lake that sparkled in the light of the setting sun. In every direction, titanic crystalline mountains were visible far in the distance.

Sequence and Aelinor were sweeping the deck with old straw brooms, and they looked up when Erryin appeared.

"Ah, welcome!" Sequence exclaimed, dropping her broom which puffed into smoke as it hit the floor, and made her way over to the guest. "It's good to see you..." Sequence leaned closer and squinted at Erryin. "I... Don't believe I recognize you! Lovely to meet you, I am Sequence." She gives a little bow and offers her hand in greeting.

atlas sees and hears party and accepts. (Pretend it was an audio message cause she cant read xD and im trying to reinstate atlas again) “Geat Eyephant and fwead, take me to safety, take me to sowace. I pwomise no viowence and I promise civility, grant me entrance to teaquente's world.”

Atlas also found herself on the same porch! Sequence has mastered the ability to split her focus and consciousness like an AI to greet multiple guests at once (), so a copy of her appeared to greet Atlas.

"Hello!" She said brightly. "I certainly have not met you before!" She gave a little curtsy/bow. "I am Sequence, and you are?"

Asher sighs, another party? Let’s see… last time it wasnt horrible, and if im correct i can like be in two places at once cause of this…. Weird thread thing.. mmmm i suppose i can go. She accepts and goes. “Great Elephant and Thread, take me to safety, take me to solace. I promise no violence and I promise civility, grant me entrance to Sequence's world.”

Sequence made yet another copy!

"Hello again, Asher! Good to see you." Sequence said brightly. "How have you been doing?"

Cep decides to send a version of himself to the party.

"Great Elephant and Thread, take me ta safety, take me ta solace. Ah promise no violence and ah promise civility, grant me entrance to Sequence's world."

"Ah, lovely to see you, Cep!" Sequence said. "So glad you could make it! How have your travels been?"

"Oh, lovely! Another new face!" Sequence bowed to the newcomer. "Hello! I am Sequence! Who might you be, new friend?"

 

Through all the greetings, Aelinor stood and glared at just about everyone, hand on the pommel of her sword in its sheath at her side.

Geez, I kept flip-flopping between past and present tense... I tried to fix as much as I can, but it might be messy! Apologies in advance!

"Nice to meet you again, Sequence!" Cep said. "My travels have been well, thank you. I grow closer to being whole again. How have you been? And what's up with her?" He gestures to Aelinor at the end.

Atlas looked up at her. “Haiya!!! Ma name is atlas (atyus is how she pronounces it). It’s nice to meet ya!” Atlas stood at 4’5  so she was short compared to most thread characters. And gave 10 year old vibes. (Just in case sequence was unaware atlas was a kid.)

"Hello again, Asher! Good to see you." Sequence said brightly. "How have you been doing?"

She smiled. And remembered she wasnt wearing her mask and put it back on because she was fine not wearing it with pyk but around everyone she would wear it. “Hello sequence, it’s nice to see you again. I’ve been doing quite alright actually.”

"Nice to meet you again, Sequence!" Cep said. "My travels have been well, thank you. I grow closer to being whole again. How have you been? And what's up with her?" He gestures to Aelinor at the end.

"Oh, lovely! Being whole is usually better than being... Not whole, I think. I've been rather whole recently, and it's been quite nice!" Sequence chuckled, then waved her hand dismissively at Aelinor. "She's just a little shy." This earned another glare from Aelinor.

5 minutes ago, Hawks said:

erryin chuckled. “You know alot of people, and the past few hundred pages have been chaotic so i will not take offence to that. But it is lovely to see you!”

"Ah, so we have met before?" Sequence squinted at Erryin again. "Were you at the 3,000th page party? You do seem awfully familiar... Agh, I apologize. My memory is going these days." Sequence rubbed her temples gently with a smile. She didn't look particularly old, but something in her eyes seemed ancient and tired.

Sequence blinked a few times, a bit surprised. Come to think of it, Sequence had never seen such a young character! She knelt down slightly, being over a foot and a half taller than Atlas, and smiled brightly, offering her hand in greeting. 

"Hello, At... Atyus?" Sequence squinted at her for a moment, then closed her eyes. "... Atlas. Yes." She opened her eyes and smiled again. "Lovely to meet you! You haven't been here before, have you? Would you like me to show you around?"

11 minutes ago, Hawks said:

She smiled. And remembered she wasnt wearing her mask and put it back on because she was fine not wearing it with pyk but around everyone she would wear it. “Hello sequence, it’s nice to see you again. I’ve been doing quite alright actually.” 

Sequence clasped her hands together and smiled. "Oh, I'm so glad. Come, have a seat! Can I get you anything? Some tea, perhaps?" She leaned closer. "I grow the leaves myself." She added with a grin.

"Excellent! That's wonderful for you. I'm currently stuck somewhat, Rebus's disappearance has delayed my adventures."

Sequence frowned. "Oh dear.. Rebus? He hasn't been getting up to anything troublesome, has he?" She asked, looking a bit worried. "The paper should still be in the vault..." She added softly, more to herself.

"Quite the opposite. He's been absent for some time now. Which is wonderful for the Thread, but not so wonderful for my own progress."

“we talked a bit during The Page kerfuffle. Dont worry.” They laugh.

“no its aaaatttlllluusss. And yes i would wike to be shown awound.” She shakes sequences and smiles.

Asher nods “of course, it has been way too long since I had something to eat or drink. Pyk and i’s adventures. Have been quite demanding.”

Sequence seemed to relax slightly. "Ah, I see... What it is that you need him for?"

"One part of me was developing a rebellion against him, and lest that can be resolved somehow he is stuck there. Another part of me was sent outside the Thread, waiting on someone else, who is in turn awaiting Rebus's return. So you see, it's one big tangled mess."

So when do we want erryin to see cep? Cause i like talking to sequence. Shall we have the weird thing where we just have them in two conversations at once?

Definitely not, I try not to split Cep too much unless it's via Mindscape. We can have them converse in a minute

Sequence squinted again. "... Ohhhhh! I remember now, yes!" Sequence laughed and facepalmed. "Well, can I get you something to drink? Come, take a seat!"

33 minutes ago, Hawks said:

“no its aaaatttlllluusss. And yes i would wike to be shown awound.” She shakes sequences and smiles.

"Aaaatttlllluusss.." Sequence repeated with a thoughtful nod. "Wonderful!" She stood up and gestured around. "I built this cabin myself, with just my hands and a little help from friends. I like to throw parties here! Say, how many pages old are you? The last party I threw was on the three-thousandth... Quite a while ago, now that I think about it."

33 minutes ago, Hawks said:

Asher nods “of course, it has been way too long since I had something to eat or drink. Pyk and i’s adventures. Have been quite demanding.”

Sequence waved her hand, and a steaming kettle floated into the air and poured its contents into a cup at the coffee table in front of the sofa. A small baking sheet, which had some dough sitting on it, began to heat up out of nowhere, and the dough was baked into a loaf of bread within seconds. "Please, help yourself! There's plenty to go around."

"One part of me was developing a rebellion against him, and lest that can be resolved somehow he is stuck there. Another part of me was sent outside the Thread, waiting on someone else, who is in turn awaiting Rebus's return. So you see, it's one big tangled mess."

Sequence nodded, frowning deeper. "I see... Well- ... I think I do hope he returns sooner rather than later. For your sake, and for his. I hope his mind can be changed. I still think of him as a friend."

Gah!!! Tenses!!! Past, present... Ooh, is there a future tense? Would that just be, "She will laugh, and point at the sky." Hmm.. Weird
