The Longest Thread (Misadventures)

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

Did the explosion do that...

[BringerofShadows she/her]

No, there seemed to be more malicious intent.

[Jaywalk he/him]

Jaywalk ate some Skittles.

C'mon, Shadow, don't check out on us! 

[Rosharan A.C. he/him]

A.C. wanted some skittles too, so he started eating the sour kind.

[+Doomstick he/him]

The ghanderflaffle empire was rising 

[Jaywalk he/him]

As usual.

[Lunamor she/her]

Rising in its status as the best sunglass producing empire ever.

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

It was really sunny in the ghanderflaffle empire.

[+Doomstick he/him]

As it was on the sun, which was why it was always rising*

 

*somewhere

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

Ghanderflaffles were highly resistant to heat. 

[Lunamor she/her]

And the urge to take off their sunglasses. Mostly because they are proven to make their wearer 297% cooler (in both aspects of the word)*.

 

*These statistics may or may not be made up. And may also solely apply to a magical pair of sunglasses Butt once got from the Nightwatcher. By beating her at a game of Monopoly. That reminds me, never bring up Monopoly around the Nightwatcher. And whatever you do, never, ever say “Do not pass go” within fifty miles of her. She might hear you and decide to give you blocks of cheese for hands or something like that. And if you do somehow end up playing Monopoly with her, please just let her be the race car lest she destroy us all in a murderous rage.

[Stormblessed Dolphin he/him]

Off in the distance, an irrelevant ant crawled over a stick, but not Stick, just a stick. In fact, this one wanted to be fire.

[Lunamor she/her]

So it did so, creating the very first fire ant.

[Archer he/him]

The fire ant danced somberly. Then it died. 

Astute readers of the Longest Thread took note, cleverly deducing that this interlude must have been inserted by the authors to foreshadow events to come on later pages. Perhaps the protagonists of the story will find themselves locked in a metaphorical dance of Life and Death, or ignite the spark of hope within themselves via a... stick? Although no one would admit it, the foreshadowing was very confusing, but it was generally understood that that was what made it Important.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Flames danced in the air for a moment, resolving into the figure of Xino. Despite the intense heat, he shivered.

Xino, are you all right?

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Yeah. I just- he shivered again. It's just rather unsettling to get blown up, that's all.

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

Just now, xinoehp512 said:

Oh that's right, you're not... Do you need any Narrative assistance?

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Xino shook his head. No... I'm fine now. He took a shaky breath. Let's keep going. I think we're almost there.

He's a stubborn one, Star thought to herself. Like Marsh. She sighed. Onward, then.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Xino nodded. Onward.

Star nervously began humming anxiously to herself. She was nervous, but also excited.

They began moving in an imperceptible fashion.
