9/10 actually grinned. “There’s always a choice,” he said aloud, then collapsed the projection.

Premonition is not exactly a powerful blade, the main purpose i want for it is to give a narrative foundation for prophecy in this world, built on the mechanics of the Thread. 
Cooperation, however. Coming soon to a theatre near you!

Yet even still, the hole remained in 9/10mm's actual form.

This is a psychic dragon. Assuming it wouldn't see through an illusion is in bad taste.

She started pacing. “Have no idea what to do. Im.. im in way over my head… im not smart enough for this. It’s like playing chess, and i dont even know how to play checkers!!”

Ribbon let out a sigh and then collapsed to her knees, crying softly. "I don't know either."

9/10 and the girl are about to respond, when-

9/10 looks at the Guardian. “Nope, I’m out,” he says. And then he is out. Meanwhile, the girl has retrieved her knife and is watching the Guardian.

Eia starts as her Plotblade screams and goes inert, returning to the form of a smoky quartz necklace. “Kevin, we may have a bigger problem. I’m not the only one collecting Plotblades, it seems.”

She nodded. “Okay then.”

Eli rubs their face. “Im SO CONFUSED!”

Theoretically would any plotblade (or any in the vicinity) react to this?

“Then do what with them?”

Ennalee nods too. "I'm confused too... What is going on?" She asks the little girl. 

Enna turns to Levi. "I finished bandaging your arm! Is there anything else you need?"

Projections are like Rebus’s clones but with luxite. They don’t have to be tangible and they contain a piece of the creators mind. Like a VPN for consciousness, almost.

I'd prefer if actions have consequences though. And this is a Plotblade we're talking about too, and I want to reiterate that this thing is powerful- far more powerful than a little bit of Luxite could be.

Salt hugged her. “It’ll be alright, we will be fine alright? We will figure it out. Surely. I mean… surely. Someone knows i mean… maybe i could see if any authors can hear.”

she looked up at the sky, on her last thread of hope hello? Xino can you hear me? I know bacon died and whatnot but we could use advice of someone who actually knows .. well whats happening? Could you just like.. help us? @xinoehp512

Enna turns to Levi. "I finished bandaging your arm! Is there anything else you need?" 

Levi nodded and continued his wrapping. “We should be fine.”

Not at all

but i know most of the lore secondhand

Eia paused. “If it is alive and on this Thread, it will soon not exist if the Witherlord continues. If it is a sin to gather Plotblades, then I would rather live damned than not exist at all.” I just wanted to mention I think this is a really cool line! She fingered the Plotblade at her neck. “Regardless, you make a fine point.”

9/10, being a projection and not 9/10mmHB#2’s full consciousness and attention, was affected by this mental invasion, like a child dissecting one leaf of a tree. With some difficulty, 9/10 maintained focus and replied, Not in the slightest. I was there the last time a guardian of Plot Significance graced the thread. Certainly I take the real thing seriously. I am not yet worthy. I am not yet… relevant enough. 

"The Witherlord?" Kevin asks. "I thought they had been defeated, though my Thread Awareness isn't the best. "

He blinks up at the sun, which is beginning to rise. "Can a Plotblade ever provide you with information? Or is sapience limited to specific Blades?" Kevin moves to check the remains of the inn for potential resources, then remembers he can summon most of what he'll need.

The Author decided to try something new. The three would come back later.

Harold sat on a bench, eating a delightful peanut butter and jam sandwich, oblivious to the future that lay ahead of him.

Something flashed behind Ribbon's eyes briefly. She just looked sad. "I wish I could say it'll all be okay in the end... but I can't make that lie easily. I'm sorry, Salt. I'm so sorry."

“It’s okay.”

"It doesn't feel right." She hesitated, "I feel ... wrong."

“Wrong how?” She asked sitting back on her feet and resting a hand on ribbons shoulder.

"I shouldn't have meddled with something that never should've been touched." She responded softly, shaking slightly.

Just now, Aeoryi said:

"I shouldn't have meddled with something that never should've been touched." She responded softly, shaking slightly. 

“It was bound to happen eventually.” Hypocrite, part of her thought, people told you the same damned thing yet you still tried to fight the witherlord on a suicide mission. “It isnt bad to speed up something that was inevitable.”

"Maybe. But it feels weak to just say that it's left to fate." She whispered, shaking.

“I get that, but what else is there to do?”

She sighed. "Not much."

“Exactly, so let’s just focus on what we can do. Which is plan and talk to people who know how to help.”

[Through The Living Star She/Her]

So, @Keke Where do you want our characters to go with this? Because honestly I still have no clue what's going on with a lot of TLT, and I'm just making this up as I go.

"Rebus... I don't really know who else would help. Maybe Subversion?"

Good idea. Let em just hit that rq

”anyone got a ship or something we can use to try and find our other crew member?”

She nodded. “I only worry about that as rebus has been incapacitated as his author is extremely busy.”

Ennalee shakes her head, as well as Enna, but the owner of the inn walks over to them. 

"You need a ship? I got one... for a price."

"No one else is powerful anymore..." She mused

"Authors are. I mean think about it, they helped summon the witherlord, some might help us fight him."

"They have limited agency here..." Ribbon said dismissively, "it seems we have no hope."

Levi nodded and continued his wrapping. “We should be fine.”

An ethereal seeming person emerged. He’d spoken to Salt before, but he had disappeared for various reasons. “Hello! You have questions?” He tipped a nonexistent hat. “Friendly neighborhood Scribe, at your service.” He looked to @Aeoryi. “You mean to say that you summoned the Whitherlord? Woah. I’ve a friend confronting them now, but it’s a bit inactive, I’m afraid.”
