Iromem’s expression darkens. “I’m going to be brutally honest with you? You couldn’t do anything for me, not short of resurrecting the dead, and that never turns out well.” He waits for Lyric and Jack’s reaction before setting out to find Owen.

Eden pretends Isabel didn’t just throw herself in a fire. She had better hope those pockets were fireproof, or the drawing was cooked.

Seamus looked taken aback. "I . . . alright."

Night gifts Bob with a magical necklace that turns its wearer into a human being, knowing it will be useless to him.

The stardust spear eyes the necklace enviously. If only it could find some way to wear it…

Rebus nodded, smiling. “Thank you.” Sequence could see a figure in a white longcoat appear just outside the border - it was Rebus, of course, saving himself some walking in light of the much longer trek within Onyx’s Realm. As he passed through into Onyx’s Realm, the copy of him by Subversion turned back to her. “Is there anything you desire in return?” 

Would you or Xino be responsible for the obstacles along the way? 
-
Continued at the bottom of the post. 

Rebus thought for a moment. “It depends upon whether they’re willing to help. Other than myself, Fog, Atlas, Cep, and Hiro, if you can simply start a conversation with a Narrator it will bring us closer to what is needed.” 

Rebus didn’t need to breathe - and neither did Atlas, though the latter hadn’t realized it. Taking advantage of Fog’s relative absence, Rebus tried to teleport himself and Atlas away from the arena. 

Rebus nodded. “Very well, then.” He teleported to one of his labs, expecting Asharak to follow. It was already set up for the experiment, instruments and tools mounted on moving arms. Rebus placed the medallion on a pedestal in the midst of the devices, clamping it down securely. 

The imprisoned copy of Rebus looked up, seeming mildly surprised. The newly arriving one simply winked, taking advantage of his familiarity with himself. 
Rebus watched Cyrus and Dax, smiling a bit condescendingly at the former.

-

It should have hurt, though Rebus didn’t feel any pain. “I touched a magical weapon - it had stayed finite until now, but of course magic is often unpredictable.” Luckily, the spread was starting to slow, though by this point it spiraled almost to the elbow.
-

Honestly no idea. Most of Dax’s tricks are hard-countered by wither magic, and Rebus knows full well that he metafictionally outclasses random robots, no matter how advanced. 
That being said, endlessly distracting him as he tries to escape is a lot more achievable than killing him, and nearly as useful. While he’ll be able to do it eventually, at the moment he cannot teleport or bilocate. 

Wither-Rebus tore a hole in the ceiling - or reality, if that was easier - and slithered through it, trying to reach the area the various traps had been stored in. 

-

Rebus said nothing more, simply following Kyler to Cyrus. 

-

“Very well,” Rebus smiled, and his words seemed to resonate. “Normally, I’d start with form - but this is a battle, and you’re a Narrator. When Fog appears again, try to distract her with some more sword swings - and be careful of teleportation and magic.” 

Pretty much everything Rebus makes looks like it came out of Portal or Tron - and since mysteriously glowing writing implements are suspicious, it just gets the greyscale. 

-

@TwinStorm, just so you know I’m paying attention. 

Jack was rather stunned, unsure what to say - this talk of dark spirits seemed ominous, as did the mysterious coin on the ground. He picked it up, intending to return it to the man. 

Teleportation didn't work still.

The mist poked and pricked, then began to tear them apart, bit by bit.

Fog chuckled to herself.

check out the dragonheir area for the reply to this. 

Funny silly.

So it reads intent, no matter who you are or what you do, so long as its good intent your safe. Bad intent or bad actions and your hit by the blade, no matter who you are or how strong you are, apathetic or incapable of emotion, you will feel the emotional pain you have caused anyone else by your actions. Like even if you never met the person you still feel the pain of the victims relatives or friends. Say someone kills Ben without knowing atlas, they will still feel atlas pain in full force, plus anyone else who Ben cared about. 

they growl. "first of all, I am not your godamned sibling, second of all im not a girl!" They shout and shove her back. 

atlas followed him and tightened her grip on the blade. 

-

Cyrus tightened his fist. "Damn Narrators. what do you want wilson."

Dax sighed. "Its best if dr clarke explains it."

-

She hummed. "I have something thar might help, or at least stop the spread. I dont trust it or whatever happens if it reaches your heart." 

She turned back to the computer and hit some buttons till the ship lurched and took off. @Shatter

The robots threw three grenades at him.

It's actually a reference to this trope.

But I expect Fog is capable of morphing into a dragon if she so wishes.

"I could search for him." Lyric reluctantly volunteered. He wondered if the man was seeing things, seeing as they'd simply walked up to the ruined temple. "If he survived, I can find him. If he perished... I hope he is merely dead."

Lyric looked at Jack curiously. "Friend Jack? Are you alright?"

Subversion shot Rebus a sideways glance."...While you're there, would you mind asking Onyx if Nogard is around?" She pointedly turned away to hide her expression from Rebus. "I need to... speak with him."

The Witherlord appeared behind God Slayer in all his glory. In his hands he held Malevolence, a dark blade that seemed to suck in the light. Shadows deepened around him, and the stars above winked out.

"Hello there. I understand you think you can defeat me?"

Xino would be, since it's his character's domain.

Sick XD nice

The Blade stills further. "Nick seems to agree."

Rebus nodded. "In that case, let us continue." The arm moved the crystal to the other point, and... 

Nothing happened. Again. Rebus frowned. "This might be the other one kind of nothing - I'd duck."

"Who are the other Narrators?"

-

she set the computer down, “come on the stuff is in the medbay.” She said walking off the helm and down below deck. 

-

three more went off on every side of him.

"You could hold your dragon," Rebus suggested. "I suspect it shall be needed."
-

"Actually, we need a Narrator - though your tricks here could be of use as well. If your scheme to kill me has any promise, we can use it on withergeists." 

-

Rebus followed, occasionally glancing down at his arm to make sure it had stopped. 

-

The carapace cracked all the way, and with a cry of pain, Wither-amoeba-Rebus fell out of the ceiling, blown almost in half. He lay on the ground, unmoving.

Nick stills completely. Asharak draws the blade about halfway out of the sheath. Hr also shifts in front of Rebus, nudging him back to keep about a meter between them and the apparatus.

"I dunno," Bob said, "Maybe try to make a wind body... No thats stupid."

Bob suddenly had another idea and got right to work folding papers. After a few minutes, he had a life-sized paper body that stood on its own.

"Now just go into the paper body as I put the necklace on."

well technically she hadnt put anything on it yet but whatever. She entered the med bay and sat rebus down. “Now, any allergies? Well no cause you’re a magic guy. Force of habit question.” She grabbed some things, a like gel type thing and some bandages.

Aeryn sneers and crashes through the blocks as if they're not there. "This is my world, don't forget," she snarls. Then, as she slashes with the knife, Erryin goes flying backwards as an invisible force cuts across their stomach.
