Rebus had been forgotten. Nobody cared about him. Even his Author had stopped writing him, and Rebus was slowly disappearing from even his memories. Rebus floated in the void of nothingness, then frowned. “I exist. So I haven’t been forgotten.” The vision broke, then returned. Rebus was forgotten, unwritten- “I’m here. I’m still existing. This is a vision.” The vision shattered again, trying to make Rebus experience nonexistence. Rebus was- “No.” Rebus was- “This isn’t real.” Rebus- “I’m being written more because of this.” Rebus- “I already experience oblivion all the time.” Rebus- “This will do nothing to me.” The vision gave up, trying to find a fear that would work. Rebus was being ignored. His Author wrote him, but nobody cared - his plotlines stalled and died, few Author still remembered who he was. And even his Author had less time, less interest - each attempt to start something new was more spread out than the last. Rebus tried - he tried to attack the new plotlines, he tried to get people to make new characters for him to talk to, he tried to get his Author to write adventures for him and post them to the Thread, he even tried turning good. Nothing worked, and nobody cared. The Thread was becoming sporadic - no activity for days and days, then a burst of posts Heir never managed to read all of before everyone was gone. And then even those started to fade, the gasps of the Thread, dying after all these years. And Rebus watched, and tried to stop it. Nothing worked. He watched the end of his world, straight-backed, tears in his eyes - and he would never know that it was The Longest Thread’s very last post. 

Jack thought, a blank and vaguely panicked expression on his face. “I do not know.” 

*twirls knife innocently* 

I think that metaphysically, the number of colors has to be odd - the way color imbalances work in the book demands it. Rebus could, however, give Named three arms - either three fingers on each hand, or adding in the allomantic metals so there can be seven on each hand. 

Rebus watched Named, truly unsure of what to do until the last general could be killed. The one with a dagger was being consumed by the Von Neumann Machines, unless otherwise noted. 

 @Sequence “If only there was someone with enough magical power, combat capability, plot armor, and cleverness to take on Ivisyre, who might conveniently be magically forced to keep promises and could be paid with a particular piece of paper he’s going to end up with anyway.” Rebus mused aloud, clearly directing his words to a certain Narrator. 

@Sherma Main Rebus blinked, having been frozen trying to walk through itirSp’s portal for several pages now. Sain was still a half-dead pile of Strands on the floor, and the Plague was spreading through the air, infecting the utility fog. 
 

“@TwinStorm,” Rebus said. “You stated you’d post something for Cricket some time ago. If you’re still working on that, carry on, but if desired, my Author can write up something for the beginning of the duel.” 

Dude. Real fears

it cut out as Vipers knowledge of how to do it ran out. A new vision, not one of rebus' mind but one Viper conjoured in order to test a theory appeared. Symbol sat in a room, she was very clearly in pain. She looked around panicked. "Rebus where are you?"

I am going to kindly ask that you leave me alone,
Responded a very non-Sequence sounding voice.

Sequence and I agree on little other than that you should not be allowed to get that paper.

7 on each hand?

That makes 21, minus the 16 metals, leaves 5, not nine.

You know what, why even be anything remotely human? 

The question is, what should he be then?

I shall have to think about it.

Also, on the wiki, there's a page called The Wall, but it doesn't explain how it works. It says its meant to keep characters from leaving TLT, but mine do that all the time.

I think that aspect of the Wall is mostly meant to restrain Narrators from leaving the Thread due to their insane power level, but I'm not entirely certain.

Yeah I shall need some more information

Sandy is quite powerful, though not Narrator powerful

And if he's affected, can he just use quantum tunneling?

Okay I see the wiki page you're talking about

I was under the impression that the Wall is both a thing that keeps out the Void from the Thread and the name of an organization of Ennullers that maintains said Wall. 

@NameIess can you clarify?

The Wall is a thing that prevents anyone from leaving the Thread. Enullers created it to prevent the escape of Narrators and withergeists, so they generally allow those who are not Narrators or withergeists to leave. (Or at least, don’t care enough to stop them). The Void is not contained by the Wall, but is the space between worlds, the native home of withergeists, from which they gnaw on the edges of reality. Reality can be torn in such a way that withergeists are unleashed into the world by breaking the fourth wall, messing with dangerous substances in a particularly stupid way, using a Mordite sword, etc. 

The Wall is, I believe, also the name of the organization of the Enullers who seek to protect the rest of reality from the dangers of Narrators and Withergeists.

Yeah - let’s make sure at least most of that never happens. 
Rebus ran to her side, or at least attempted to do so. “Symbol, what’s wrong?”

“You could destroy it,” Rebus noted. “The vault is in your basement, after all.” 
Rebus was somewhat suspicious that Ivisyre was doing this to avoid a fight, rather than to stop the Witherlord. He would take other payment, though most of it would be equally dangerous - Endings, Conflict, Protagonist, or Lore; fealty of Sequence (or Ivisyre, for that matter), several cubic inches of Luxite, ownership of Sequence’s World, etcetera.

Honestly do not know what I was doing with that math… 

Remote humanness is indeed rather overrated - if I could reshape myself I would definitely pick something better. (For one thing, sub-red luxin is lighter than air - who needs legs)

Rebus’s brain felt a little fuzzy - he couldn’t figure out what had caused this, even by reading the posts. Symbol would feel her body starting to go numb. “I gave you an analgesic - painkiller - it should help. What happened?”

Symbol flickered. a dark form walked from behind rebus going through him and grabbing symbol. She yelped. "You need to get me out of here! Where are you!"

You know what

-> No legs

-> Compound eyes on stalks for 360 vision, and have like 9 of them

-> No neck, gets rid of the biggest weak point

-> 9 arms with pincer-like things

-> Lungs that double as swim bladders

-> At this point we can just give him radial symmetry

-> An organ filled with nanomachines and lined with light-sensitive cells, for drafting and also the nanomachines can make helium to fill the lungs/swim bladders if Named wants to fly

Rebus’s eyes widened, and he tried to strike the figure with Antagonist, unsure whether he, it, or both might be intangible. “Symbol, can you hear me?”

I’m torn between approval and terror… Flight should be possible with iron feruchemy and sub-red luxin (which is lighter than air). And there’s no reason to keep the same shape all the time, if one is skilled enough (green golem proves one can do it).

all of them fade to black. Rebus is met with being shook agressivly. "Hela? You there dude!?" Rebus' vision isn't quite back all he can hear is heavy flapping of wings causing wind and Jack's urgent voice.

Rebus blinked - this was a strange development. Had that even been real? He reached out to the Thread at large, trying to see if any posts would tell him what was happening. “More or less,” he mumbled, guessing that was an appropriate tone for someone recently unconscious.

once his vision cleared he could see jack, flapping his large golden wings, carrying rebus bridal style (BECAUSE I stormING CAN) trying to keep both of them in the air while on the ground and struggling Kyo kept Viper distracted. "Oh thank the Authors. Your armor is heavy dude." He breathed heavy and you could see his breath in the air. "That took forever to get you out. Man i hate corrupt Narrators."

But what if Named wants to take off without setting things on fire to do it

He also still needs some basic biological stuff beneath all the luxin, like a nervous system, some form of eyes for drafting, circulatory system because luxin must touch blood to by bound by will, and digestive systems to keep everything alive.

Though maybe bendalloy can cover digestion and the main job of the circulatory system. Immune system is covered by gold.

So the bare minimum is a brain and eyes. The eyes can be internal though.

So if he can just have a suit of blue and green luxin surrounding his brain and eyes, with only his blood vessels left, still there without even a heart to pump them.

Actually no his brain should be surrounded by his metalminds, then luxin.

The sky above darkened, thunder ringing in the distance. The gray clouds swirled down, whirling and condensing on a young boy, one who had not been there a second before. He looked much the same as he had the last time he had spoke, except this time he had a long, silver, wicked knife.

"Rebus." he grinned, teeth flashing. "Start the duel."

Perhaps, the voice mused. Or I could destroy you. Problem solved, since you’re the only one insane enough to seek it. I’m crazy, and I’ve been crazy for thousands of pages, but even I’m not that crazy.
