The Longest Thread (Misadventures)

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

"You've got problems, mister. Silence is dead, you don't hafta do this stuff anymore."

[xinoehp512 he/him]

"He's not dead yet," pointed out Jacob.

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

SoT folded her arms. "And I still haven't gotten to see 'im yet..."

[Jaywalk he/him]

The bunnies had hollow expressions, their movements almost mechanical as they ate.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Jacob noted this down and turned towards the guards.

[Jaywalk he/him]

“Is this an inspection?” one guard asked.

The other guard shrugged. “I never heard about it.”

[xinoehp512 he/him]

"Technically, yes," mumbled Jacob as he took the measure of the guards' spears.

[Jaywalk he/him]

The guards began to back away.

 

[Lunamor she/her]

Luna threw her extra boots at them.

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

And that was when Granite realized that he didn't know where his sister was. "Hey!" he said to Jaywalk. "I thought you said we'd be taking Rose along!"

[FatherTiempo he/him]

FT perked up, he had just narrated spikes in the shoes Luna threw. He had thought SoT was going to take Rose along to.

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

SoT blushed. "Aww, Shards, I forgot about the kid!" She Narrated Rose so that she stood a few feet away from her. "Now don't you run away from me again young lady," she said, shaking her finger. 

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Jacob wrote down a few descriptive words then turned back to his inventory of the guards.

[Jaywalk he/him]

Jaywalk politely smiled at Granite. “She foolishly chose to be trained by your aunt.”

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

Granite frowned. "But you promised..."

[Jaywalk he/him]

“My apologies. She won’t be joining us.” He waved over a guard. “Please show Granite to his room.”

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

Granite's brow furled in saddness and disappointment. "You promised!" he yelled as the guard let him away. "And you lied just like everyone else!"

[Jaywalk he/him]

Jaywalk sighed. “It will blow over in time.” He walked over to Jacob. “Can I help you with anything?”

[+Doomstick he/him]

Butt appeared

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

Granite sat on his bed, fuming. He couldn't believe that Max had been training with Jay this entire time. How could his cousin trust that lying, no-good Narrator? He was... he was no better than his mother, Star. She'd been a Narrator too, hadn't she? And she'd left him. That was it then. Narrators were just... evil.

Jaywalk sighed. “It will blow over in time.” He walked over to Jacob. “Can I help you with anything?”

Jacob was busy measuring the exact dimensions of one of the columns. "No," he muttered, writing down the measurements and moving on to the next thing.

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

Granite didn't want to be one of them. He stood, taking a small vial from his pocket, uncapping it and drinking it. He had Snapped soon after Star had left. And with his metals, he could protect himself. 

[Jaywalk he/him]

“Very well.” Jaywalk opened a portal and stepped into Max’s room. “Your cousin seems...a bit resistant.”

Max shrugged. “You lied to him.”

”I know.”

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

"So..." Rose said, looking about. "How are we going to go about making me a.... Narrator?"

SoT shrugged. "I have no idea."

Rose cocked her head, confused. "And... where is Granite? I haven't seen him since-"

"Star's darkness!" SoT cried. "I left him with Jay!" She put a flustered hand to her head. "WhatamIgonnado?!" She started pacing, until she realized that she cold just *snap*. A confuzzeled Granite appeared next to her. "Ah, ha!" she exclaimed. "There he is!" 

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Jacob wrote something down on his clipboard, smiled once in an odd way, and then vanished from Jaywalk's castle.
