The Longest Thread (Misadventures)

[Jaywalk he/him]

Jimmy’s master was a cranky old ceramic pot.

[+Doomstick he/him]

..filled with juniper berries.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Jimmy ate the juniper berries.

"Oh..." Sophie said quietly. She shivered. "He's... scary..."

Xinoehp felt the icy grip of unnatural fear radiating from the dark being. It was strong- he almost wanted to just give in and let it take him. But instead he clenched his spear of light ever tighter in his fists, determined to resist whatever happened. Even if-

Ah, interrupted the figure in a droll tone. So honorable. It's adorable, really.

Quick as a snake, a tendril of darkness shot out of the thing. Xinoehp flicked the spear up and cut through it, faster than seemed possible even to him. He glanced at his hand in surprise then quickly flicked his gaze back up to the monster. "What was that?" he challenged. "What do you want? Who are you? I don't-"

Ah-ah-ah, interrupted Withy. No time to bother with questions. You'll be dead soon, anyways, so it hardly matters.

"What?" gasped Xinoehp, but there was no time for surprise. Three more tentacles had launched themselves at him, shadowy surfaces shifting. He cut through them with ease, but more seemed to be coming even as he did so.

[Jaywalk he/him]

And the student surpassed the teacher.

[FatherTiempo he/him]

But the teacher would never admit it.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

So Jimmy fed him to the withergeists.

[Jaywalk he/him]

The withergeists weren’t quite sure what to do with a ceramic pot.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

They touched it and it crumbled into dust.

Sophie gulped, whimpering a little bit. What she had faced had been nightmarish, but... good Author. Xinoehp was amazing. Sophie knew there was no way she could do any of that by herself. Storms, she'd barely survived her trip here. That blackness terrified her. If she were faced with that creature, she would fall to her knees, sobbing and begging to be spared.

Wow, I've missed out. Last I saw this thread, it was at like 330 pages. I'm proud of you people.

Narrator Firerust emerged from a long hiatus only to find that this whimsical world he'd once known had become dark, twisted, and complex like an RP rather than, well... the madness that TLT used to be in its first 200 pages.

He proceeded to do an Irish jig and read AI-generated literature.

And then a thermonuke hit him.

[Jaywalk he/him]

Sent by the randomness which he refused to acknowledge.

Fire, this thread has since spawned three seperate RP threads.  Only one of which is still going. (it's called CBST and it's awesome and it's storyline sometimes takes place here due to the rules of our world building) 

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Xinoehp cut through tendril after tendril, but always more seemed to pour in.

Withy stood by, hands clasped behind his back, watching with detached interest.

And the sky darkened further.

 

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

Sophie's eyes widened slightly with the realization that Fate might be trying to bait her into doing something to help. She internally groaned. She thought it would be over right after she got the spear to Xinoehp. And... then she thought there was going to be True Love's Kiss and some such nonsense. Instead, the world was still ending and she was still cowering behind a rock. Well... at least she still had forcefields. She imagined, for a moment, rushing out and protecting the curly haired hero before her. But the daydream ended in blackness and death for the both of them. And so, Sophie stayed huddled behind the rock, fingers chilled.

This irked the randomness so much that it sent a memo to its boss.

[+Doomstick he/him]

its boss was them dang potaters

[Rosharan A.C. he/him]

That's LITERALLY what I was going to say, but then I thought I'd stick with a one liner. 

Them dang potaters decided to have a little talk with @Firerust about employee relationships and showing respect in the workplace.

[+Doomstick he/him]

Gaius erat laetus

[Jaywalk he/him]

One of the randomness’s coworkers decided to eavesdrop on the conversation.

[BitBitio he/him]

Mudkips ensued. Leading them was none other than the legendary @Ookla the Mudkip!!!

[Borio Singaldi he/him]

Firerust was ignoring all of it because it was his last day on the job and didn't care to hear orientation or work ethics lessons. What were they going to do, fire him?

This is based in truth, as today is my last day at the place I work. I melds surprisingly well into the current situation.

[Jaywalk he/him]

That was impossible. He was already Fire.

[Rebecca she/her]

But they could attack him with the cuteness of Mudkips.

[Borio Singaldi he/him]

Fire was extremely susceptible to cuteness. The Mudkips overcame him and he died.
