Words - a heads-up display - shimmered into view as the two became citizens of Rebus’s empire. It seemed designed for unobtrusiveness, except a central menu with three choices: “utility fog display”, “mental interface”, and “other”. 
“You now have permissions allowing nanomachine control, among other things.” Rebus explained. “The most flexible method would be mental control, but that makes people uncomfortable for a number of reasons. What you see now is the default method - if even that is discomforting, a physical device can be provided.” 

Dax hummed intrigued and jack jumped out of his wings. “What its hey what ahhh” he swatted at the words and Dax chuckle.d  “sonny calm down, its not dangerous.”

18 minutes ago, DragonHeir said:

You may be telling the truth. You may be a liar, and you may merely be a hypocrite. Why should I believe you, and why should I care?” 
Rebus watched Ryna lead Atlas off to the side, but made no comment - the Chronicler was likely better suited for counseling.

“You should believe me because then you’d kill an innocent person, granted im not sure you care about that. And uh you should care cause… i can take atlas off your shoulders im sure The Antagonist of whatever is probably busy. And if im so insignificant than you should ignore me and let me and my neice go on our lives.” She watched ryna anxiously. “What happened to her anyways? Why’s she not talking?”

“I… I don't know. I think she's gone into shock,” Ryna told her. “She isn't responding to me.” Ryna patted the side of Atlas' face. “Hey. Atlas.” She looked back at Elinore worriedly.

Rebus's smile lessened, changing from unnerving grin to something more sane and civil. "I suspect I can be of use. I respected Sequence - she deserves the burial she would want. I only ask one thing in return." 

1 hour ago, NameIess said:

Unintelligible found himself staring at Sequence’s corpse again. He trembled, and squeezed his eyes shut. “Hope is important.” He whispered. “Goals are important. Even if defeating Ivisyre and restoring Sequence’s world is impossible… I need something to keep going for.” Slowly, he knelt to the ground and picked up Sequence’s body. “We should… be on our way.

—

Unintelligible stiffened at Rebus’s words. “No, I doubt you can.” He said, voice cold. “I think I speak for both myself and Aelinor when I say we are not in the mood for your machinations.”

17 minutes ago, DragonHeir said:

“Is that so? I understand your grief, and your anger, but I believe I can allow you entrance to Sequence’s world. The graves may very well be intact - Ivisyre seems likely to maintain them as a trophy.” 

Aelinor nodded her agreement, fixing Rebus with a hard stare as she dismissed Conflict, confirming the bond to the plotblade. "Why don't you go have a chat with Ivisyre?" Aelinor asked rather sourly. "I'm sure you'll find them to be incredibly accommodating." 

Unintelligible found that Sequence's body was lighter than expected, as if she were... hollow.

Aelinor stepped closer to Unintelligible, subtly keeping herself between him and Rebus. "We could ask Ryver if there's somewhere on his world where we can... leave her," Aelinor said to Unintelligible, her tone softer. "Until we find where to bury her."

Atlas turned her head to ryna but lacked any emotion.

Ryna held Atlas close to her and rested her head on top of Atlas' head. Ryna's eyes looked haunted. This was too much like what she remembered… She couldn't think about that. That would bring everything she had built crashing down around her. She wouldn't be able to… She'd be… She couldn't think about that. There was a role for her here even if she couldn't fight. She had to protect others even if she wasn't able to protect her own.

 The drawing is very good.

Other people’s command over utility fog was visible now, lines of light representing the actions of the nanomachines. There was the construction of objects, of course, but it also nudged errant frisbees back towards their throwers, caught dropped objects, and occasionally lifted people to the terraces above.

“You don’t have lives.” Rebus said softly.

“Very well,” Rebus said. “Ivisy-“ he began to say, the tone making the nature of the magical summons quite clear.

Dax looked around in shock. "By golly this is so advanced!" He said baffled. "Not even kimo could produce this! Did you do this yourself?"

-

Bro did a 180 on his life view. Bro went from LIVE to Life is worthless. 

elinore frowned. "What? Yes i do im clearly alive? So are you? Now im confused."

Of course - Atlas is real.

Evaiya warped next to rebus. "My old friend. I implore you to cease this." Some of the nullite vines grew from the ground behind her.

Nothing happened at first, but after a couple moments, Rebus found he could sense Sequence’s World. Or, what’s left of it. He had access, and would find himself in the black castle deep in the mountains if he transported himself there.

“It is my pleasure.” Rebus smiled. “If you would, dispatch a servant of yours - Mischief would be well suited to the quarry, though perhaps not the task - to bring the man I seek to me, alive. I can provide help, of course, but some interactions are difficult for metaphysical reasons.” 

Rebus smiled, eyes glittering. “Your stake could perhaps be a portion of the fruit of your plots; credit for the actions taken and the fealty of those corrupted. Another Plotblade is of little direct benefit to me.” 
-

Jack hit the ground with the distinct sound of clockwork winding, surprisingly graceful considering his performance in combat. Acting on a whim, he threw a can of oil - from the party and still perhaps a quarter full - at the Sage. 

-

Rebus nodded - he had made changes of his own, though he’d offered no explanation as to what they were. 
-

“Is that so? I understand your grief, and your anger, but I believe I can allow you entrance to Sequence’s world. The graves may very well be intact - Ivisyre seems likely to maintain them as a trophy.” 

“Fate… I presume you know the terms.” Rebus shifted into a proper stance - he stood like a fencer, though he held the sword in two hands. “Let us begin.” 

Cricket nodded, adjusting into a similar position, leaning slightly forward, gripping the blade between his hands. He slowly began to circle Rebus, watching his enemy carefully.

Assuming he’d selected the relevant control option (and hence allowed Rebus’s technology to read his mind), lines of light spiraled around him at the force of a strong wind. 
-

Atlas is an old character and has clear feelings, implying method acting and hence some measure of autonomy. Eli is quite new, and has less of a personality. Hence, Rebus considers only Atlas to be a person. 
“You aren’t real. Nobody you’ve ever met has been real - and most of them even less than you.” 
-

“Please refrain from interrupting my extortion.” Rebus smiled politely, Antagonist humming from atop his head. “Do you want Conflict both intact and unused?”

Rebus had, in fact, been attempting to bring Ivisyre to him. Or threatening to, at least - he’d very deliberately insured he could be interrupted. 
Still, visiting Ivisyre was worthwhile. One of his copies materialized there, smiling politely and fully prepared for something to vaporize him.

Rebus lashed out with his blade, lunging and swinging in one fluid movement.

Dax gasped. And stopped it.

Ah I see. 

Eli nodded slowly. "Sir are you schizophrenic?" She asked completely seriously.

Evaiya shook her head. "I care not for the blade." She said taking a step forward. "But your endeavors have become to dangerous to the innocents."

Yeah, but the Scribe dueled him, and he failed! I’d be jelly.

Well, it was Aeon (Scribe by proxy), and she broke the rules of the engagement and therefore immediately forfeit.

Basically anything goes here, it doesn’t really matter. There is sort of an overall plot, but it (probably) won’t be relevant to you for a while.
