She thinks. "I donnuoh, I don wanna live alone so could I have a room on your cabin?"

Sequence smiled and nodded. "Of course! We'll find room somewhere." Sequence hummed to herself, sitting back down in her rocking chair and thinking. How does one take care of a mortal being? Hm. She'll figure it out. It can't be that difficult, can it?

"Malevolence?" Moniker took a cup of tea and sat down. "I haven't heard of him. New character?" She took a sip of the tea, sighing contentedly. "I think I've missed about twelve hundred pages while I was in Ragnorok, so I'm not exactly up to date."

Sequence nodded, sitting down across from her. "Relatively new, yes. He's supposed to be some big evil villain, I believe... But I find him to be quite agreeable... Usually?" Sequence shook her head. "Twelve hundred pages? Goodness, it has been a while..." Sequence rubbed her forehead wearily. "Well, glad you're back!"

Sequence laughed, rocking in her chair. She leaned forward, and beckoned Atlas closer before pointing up at one of the taller peaks among the vast crystalline mountains in the far distance. "My cabin is up there. The view is quite lovely! Whenever you're ready to leave, just let me know and we can go set up your room!"

As Sequence thought, she began to grow a bit daunted by the task she's undertaken... But, in 2,724 pages on this thread, she's learned some things. And Atlas certainly could use a home, in Sequence's opinion... This thread is dangerous.

I’ve got a pretty good description in here  

Sequence laughed and slowly got to her feet again, summoning her Narrationblade in the form of a cane, which she leaned on heavily.

”Alright then! Somebody’s excited.” She laughed again, and with a wave of her hand, Sequence and Atlas were on the much smaller balcony of Sequence’s smaller cabin, up high on the mountain tops. It was clearly built to be a home, rather than a place for partying as the cabin down in the valley was. This cabin was overlooking the valley, with the imposing crystalline mountains on every other side of the cabin.

”Well, here we are! What do you think?”

Sequence smiled and looked out over the crystalline mountains. “Let’s go inside, shall we?”

She opened the front door, and the first room was just a simple living room. Cozy, comfy looking furniture, a warm hearth with a painting of an apple on the mantle. Just an apple. There was an upright piano against one of the walls, and nearby, a large plush chair with a basket full of yarn and other knitting paraphernalia beside it. There was a small kitchen on the other end, with a stove, an oven, an espresso machine and coffee grinder, and some random utensils and tools scattered across the counter. There was also a small dining table with a couple chairs. It was a cozy, rather unremarkable place. Other than the ridiculous amount of houseplants, anyways. Vines hung from the ceiling in multiple areas, there was a large moss wall with some mushrooms and a variety of small plants growing, and all sorts of potted plants. They were arranged in such a way that the space didn’t feel cramped, but did feel somewhat jungle-y… Another door inside, which was open, led down a hallway. At the end, a stained glass window let in some dim light, and two more doors were on each side of the hallway.

”I can move things around, of course, if it’s a little cramped…” Sequence started, looking around the space with a frown. She hoped it was good enough. She paused, then suddenly looked worried and turned to Atlas. “You don’t have any allergies, do you? I can definitely get rid of any plants you might be allergic to… There’s lots of flowers inside too, lots of pollen…”

 

Gosh, there’s gotta be a word for the type of dress i’m thinking of… Lemme do some googling then i’ll come back and edit

I’m imagining something like this but with a sturdier, more “adventure” oriented vest of sorts, and then of course some nice boots… Idk!! I haven’t thought much about it beyond that

Sequence looked down at Atlas, somewhat surprised. She blinked a couple times. Hm. Fuzzy and Atlas would’ve gotten along.

”… Of course. Even little adventurers need family too.” She said with a smile.

Sequence’s eyes widened and she nodded. “Right, of course! I apologize. Any other hobbies that… Don’t involve collecting?”

Erdikan hesitates. "Not much. I have been rather occupied recently."

It remained the same distance from him visually.

Taeidin considered this. He had a pretty clear grasp of how this worked, but was unsure of how it would help him to move forward. Suspecting some sort of illusory trick, he tried to lower the floor visually as much as possible, looking for something that may perhaps show up.

Sequence sighed, seeming relieved. "Okay... That's good. I don't have any grass in here, thankfully. But if anything starts to bother you, just let me know, okay?" She made her way to the door at the back of the living room, walking down the hallway and opening the first door on the right. The room inside had a bed, a dresser, a vanity, and a comfy chair in the corner, with a simple chandelier on the ceiling and one window with a magnificent view of the mountains around the cabin. Sequence looked at the space thoughtfully. "We can always change anything if you don't like it..."

Erdikan hesitates. "Not much. I have been rather occupied recently."

Sequence nodded in understanding, rocking in her chair. "I get that. Things can be busy!" Sequence reached under her rocking chair and grabbed a wicker basket, that seemed to appear from nowhere. She opened it, and took some bags of tea leaves out and placed them on a table between them. "Here! Some tea, I grow it myself. Feel free to take as much as you'd like!"

Atlas followed and jumped on the bed. “It’s perfect!!! It’s bigger than my old room!” She narrated her small bag of belongings to her and grabbed out a small dragon stuffed animal and hugged it. “Drinny! Look at this place.” She showed the dragon around. “Sequences is givn me this room!!you might know her cause she is a narrerator to!” She set the dragon on the bed and pulled out a boonie cap and put it on. “Ha!

erryin nods, “well….uh… who put them there? Or who do we talk to to get there…. I mean you’re insanely powerful you probably can get there somehow.” They narrate two chairs and sit down in one of them. and yawned. “This whole… past few hundred pages have been excruciatingly painful.” They say to themself”

“If this was a normal situation, it would be trivial to retrieve them. Unfortunately, this isn’t simply interesting worldbuilding or a callback to experiments that have likely been forgotten completely by everyone but my Author,” Rebus declined sitting in the other chair, though he agreed that recent pages had been trying. “Instead, dynessence is a silver bullet. My Author is stalling - the planet is covered in a substance designed to mess with me. Any attempts to teleport near it end up wildly off course - if you don’t care where you go, this isn’t much of an I stick, but if I’m trying to retrieve myself or have my nanotechnology work properly, it’s incredibly disruptive. Telepathy and even deep thought are similarly difficult, so my other approaches are also compromised.” 
You have no idea how long it took to make up a name for the glowy liquid - I might have posted like two days earlier if I hadn’t tried to do that.

I’m still rather cross with you,

 the disembodied voice continued with a soft hmph. 

But… I would still like if you attended the party. 

Rebus smiled graciously, though on his head Antagonist was practically humming with malevolent energy. “Excellent… 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 wish Named was a Lightsplitter.

Chips has stated he won't be very active until November, I don't know about Elan.

Named growled, tapping Stormlight from one of his nicrosilminds as well as speed, using Progression to heal the skeletons around him. Named widened his pupils to sub-red using it to find where a lot of nanomachines were clustered. He them used their own heat to set them alight, spewing fire from his luxin fingertips. 

Rebus caught the metalmind and was about to tap it, when he had the somewhat disappointing realizations that he could do everything it would let him do using his nanomachines. Frowning, he instead tucked it into a pocket, in the hopes it would be useful later. 
The light from the nanomachines seemed to flare up from nowhere, appearing when they actually moved and then disappearing again when they cooled down - for this sort of thing caused a lot of friction. Unfortunately for Named, they were heat resistant - devices made from antimatter have to be - and formed a layer of charred nanobots that stymied combustion.

The Dreamsmith examined the bracelet, then knelt and picked up Reverie. He turned the machine over in his hands, noting every detail. Finally, he set Reverie down on the table and nodded. "This is good work. Unique. The method you use to allow overlay of the two realms is inspired." He turned to face the false Dreamsmith. "You are free to go."

"Well, lost adventurer, you are in luck!" The man had red hair and green eyes, and wore a forest-green cloak, a shield-like cymbal on his back, and a hammer at his side. "I am Lyric, self-appointed guardian of these forests." He bowed. "How may I be of service?"

Because the Authors were kind, or at least not always evil, Kion felt his head clearing. They'd escaped from the demons, and Moni had just disappeared. A door appeared in front of him, one that would lead out of Ragnorok for now. If the plot were ever revived, it would also lead back in.

The false Dreamsmith faced his counterpart and nodded solemnly. “I thank you.”  Then he disappeared from the workshop, traveling through the dream realm until he was fairly certain nobody was following. He faded from the dream realm into the ordinary world, appearing in a shadowy alleyway. Then the false Dreamsmith brought his hand to his forehead, and peeled off the fake skin, revealing its fully mechanical face beneath. Putting the disguise in its satchel, Pilot smiled. Now all he had left to do was deliver the Evergear. 
Meanwhile, Jack was smiling as well - though he still looked ready to bolt. “I am Jack,” he said, fumbling with his hat for a second before tipping it. “I was at a party; once it ended I did not know where to go.” 
“Inspection,” whispered Kion, making sure the door really was legitimately a way out. Seconds earlier, he stepped through - unfortunately, his friends were blurred and immobile, and though he tried to tow them through behind him, his fingers passed through their wrists. He emerged somewhere he recognized - the very location of the last party, and the last time he’d felt so strangely detached from reality.

Whew sorry it’s been ages

Did I miss you using any Banes?

I don’t have time to read anything I wasn’t pinged in

The other general was in fact swinging right at Rebus’ back

He, unfazed, calmly attempted to behead it

Nope - Rebus gave the humans weapons soaked in antiseptic and insecticide, but I don’t think anything has connected. 
This worked perfectly well - the head was knocked clean off, and began crumbling out of existence as it lay on the floor. The rest of the robot, though, lunged forwards and splashed a mix of antiseptic and insecticide towards the golden skeleton.

The skeleton paused for a moment and then the armor grew, covering his golden plate. He then slashed his axe with far greater ferocity than before, hopefully catching Rebus off guard ( @Dragonheir )

Rebus swept his hand to the side - though in truth, the movement was unnecessary - and the air turned solid in front of the axe’s haft as utility fog locked together. This would hopefully stop it in its tracks - and might even snap it in two, if Rebus was lucky. “Do you both recognize I could kill you in an instant? Even following the rules, the only reason I haven’t already killed you is because I want your allegiance. So please, give up - it will likely save both of us time and effort.” As he spoke, he connected telepathically to Mischief. Did you kill any of the three important ones? I need to apply the right Banes so I can convert them back.

The Narration twisted as the very fabric of the Thread seemed to vibrate, throwing it off course. Erryin appeared in the sea of dynessence, which immediately began to flow up Erryin’s nose and mouth. The only thing visible was its iridescent light, blindingly bright as the liquid crept underneath Erryin’s eyelids, and the whole world seemed to be full of ringing. 
And that is what the helmets were for.

This was from earlier - Rebus, Keys, and Symbol wore diving helmets so that the superfluid wouldn’t immediately flow into their lungs.
