the area was a forest. Just a normal one. Trees spread for miles on end. There was a river directly under him. There was no one in sight. The tree he was on was huge.

"Well." He scratched his head and looked around. "Guess Y'll fly around a bit and see what's what?" 

He breathed in the sunlight and the same wings he'd had last night appeared on his back again. His hair burst alight as the sun fully rose, glowing a garnet red.

Sequence's image was somewhat fuzzy and unfocused, but she smiled. "Wonderful. You're welcome to stay as long as you like... Though there might be some people causing trouble. I'm doing what I can to deal with it."

Sequence nodded, gently taking some of the glowing salve and spreading it on the edges of Unintelligible's wound. She was extremely careful to move slowly, her touch gentle and somewhat timid as she held out the beaker with her other hand.

Quoted Xino too but it vanished so @xinoehp512

Sequence jumped with the sudden appearance of Bacon, nearly falling out of her chair. "Goodness! You scared me!" She exclaimed, sitting up straight and brushing off her dress. She looked from Bacon to Atlas for a moment. "I... Suppose that's up to your interpretation! Based on how Atlas explained things, it sounded like family to me." She rubbed her eyes. "Though I will admit, I've never been very good with that definition."

Sequence eyed Cricket, turning to face him and stepping between Cricket and Rebus. "The line is drawn before violence. There will be no violence on my world." Her normally sweet tone was stern as she glanced back at Rebus. "From anybody." 

@TwinStorm

Sequence appeared, her image somewhat misty and fuzzy. "What's going on? Is somebody infiltrating the vault?" She asked, alarmed.

I just wanted to say, this document is remarkable . TLT can get so confusing so fast sometimes! I honestly should keep notes like this too, but.. I am much too lazy .

Cricket ignored her. "I'm done with bureaucracy, or laws or order. How can you tolerate this man? THIS MAN . . . IS . . . THE ANTAGONIST! Are you too blind to see that?"

After a moment, Rebus nodded sharply, seeming to have made up his mind. “The generic ones shouldn’t matter too much whether you immobilize or kill them, but of the other two generals, the one with the dagger is fairly important to leave alive.” 

Named dropped his bendalloy and encased both the generals and himself in yellow luxin. He then covered the room in both red and orange luxin, before setting it alight with sub-red. The resulting fire should burn hot enough to melt even bone.

"Ok nope." The wings vanished and instead a glowing red spear appeared in his hands, held across his body to guard. "Who are you?  And what happened to th kid with flame hair and golden wings that was here last night?"

Cricket glared at them. His eyes were dark as midnight, no white showing. "He's taken everything from me. My best friends all died because of him!"

erryin put their hands up defensively. "Ok.. yeah that's a perfectly valid reason. Id kill him to. but lets no do that here. On the peaceful world."

Chat im gonna be in bed soon btw

atlas widen her eyes. "So we aren't family???"

by the way bacon. She doesnt let go up till she gets hugged back. It's her rule. Not mine. @Ashkaloda Put that in your notes. It's totally plot relevant. Trust ok. Trust. 

-

erryin thought. "When I made him i didn't give him your actual past. Just your memories. Sooo that means if we change this. It wont actually mess with anything. Afterall its just a memory. And im sure you wanna explain to talk to seline again?"

"If it's just a memory, what does it matter?" said Bacon. He sighed. "It might not even last. Who knows what happened to the first version of this place?"

REAAAAAL DUDE

"no my silly friend!" He jumped flapping his wings enough to keep him off the ground. "This is a world. It is called The Thread. But its not actually one. Regardless. What is your name friend?"

"so..." atlas looked from Bacon to Sequence then back to Bacon. "Baten are we fam'iy?" 

@xinoehp512

erryin was throughly amused. Though they teeechnically shouldn't have been. But it was a funny situation. "This'll be fun to see play out."

 

"Sure, I suppose so!" said Bacon cheerfully. "You can come and live in my castle, if you want."

Cricket looked Rebus directly in the eye. "After this . . . party. We meet. The place of the withergeist fight." Strange. That felt like lifetimes ago. It had barely been a year.

"No Plotblades, no nanites. No powers. Me and you. To the death."

Speaking of which, @Ashkaloda, ever thought about podcasting?

I am just about as busy as I have ever been in my life, but I would be happy to lend some meager assistance.

erryin shrugged. "Closure. Or... hopelessly trying to give people a better end. Its a normal thing in stories. Knowing it will do nothing but doing it regardless."

atlas beamed. "YAY!!! I have a family!!" She giggled. "And sequence don worry I'll visit you!!!"

Just now, TwinStorm said:

"He has to agree first."

"Well, throwing out assumptions. Rebus isnt scared of much and seeing as he is unphased about your appearance he doesnt fear you. I see no reason as to why he won't accept. On the contrary though, he might not accept because its a waste of time. And I think he could lay you down like your friends."

"To meet me without Antagonist? He's claimed before that I'm probably one of the few people left who can take him in a fight."

Cricket winced. "My friends were heroes. Don't say that about them."

erryins face brightened. "Oh really now! Ok ok. I forgot about that part of the deal. Ok yeah I am on your side now.... and sorry for the harsh words. Part of me is outside the Thread right now so im not myself. Im sure I'll come back and aggressively apologize and cry that I said something so horrible."

Cricket felt slightly awkward. They were a strange person. "Uh . . . ok." Some of the darkness in his eyes subsided.

“Oh right you’re likely not a narrator. I have a name that cannot be spoken or typed. So it is           . And yes that is Jake… he doesnt hear questions about who he is… strange fellow but good in the heart.”

"Huh. So, what should I call you then? A nickname? And what's a narrator? And where exactly is this place? Can you guide me?" Ryver let the spear flow away.

they nodded. “Right, anyways I haven’t ever met you before… wait no i did. In the mindscape… a whilllllee ago, you were like really sad or smthng?”

"Sounds right."

The natural violet in his eyes was returning and he seemed more sad than he was. Where before he had been pure anger, now he was was just . . . sad.

He thinks. “Call me blurred i geuss. A narrator is someone who can see and alter the thread.. to specific lengths. We are on a world in a story called the longest thread. Yes you’re a character getting authored by someone else. It’s ok to panic. And of course i can guide you.” He said kindly.. he had no face and was just a ripple of black silhouette in the air.

Seeing the sadness triggered the kind part of erryin to come up. “Yeah… im really sorry about what i said by the way. I get it.. loosing people takes a toll on someone. But i dont think killing rebus will fill any hole that is left in your heart.” They walk over and stand next to him, putting a hand on his shoulder. “But right now you look like you need to take a break.”

"Oh." he relaxed somewhat. "I know I'm a character. Where I'm from, all people are characters, brought to life by an author. That is also how magic works in my land, you must find something in the world that people know, then tell a story of that thing and draw it. Some of us have an easier time of it than others, as the Author has chosen them to be special, like me. I am known as Nikkō, which means Sunlight, since I draw my power from the sun." 
He looked around. "So, here there are many authors. Interesting." he looked at Blurred. "is there a way to know which author is writing me?"

         Nodded. “Yeah. But alas im not a narrator so i cant see. But im sure i could find a narrator who could if you so desire.”
