Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 The Narrator nodded. "I know. It sucks, doesn't it? But that's what happened. That's real life. See, this is a true story. And true stories don't end happily." The Narrator paused. "Well, at least, stories without True Love. Star didn't have True Love. Yet."
Jaywalk he/him Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 One kid raised his hand. “My parents had a happy ending.”
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 The Narrator smirked. "How do you know?"
Jaywalk he/him Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 He opened his mouth to say something, then thought better of it and frowned.
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 The Narrator sighed and got out a pencil and began drawing in the air. With quick motions the figure sketched out Star and Pheonix and, once the drawing was complete, the pencil marks came to life. Star and Pheonix leaned into each other, kissing. The figure sighed wistfully.
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 I actually think this is gonna be a new character... Smiling at their reactions, the Narrator twirled their pencil in their hand. They began sketching again, adding other characters. The drawing of Xino pulled a sword from a scabbard and a doodle of Heather uncapped a bottle of wine.
Jaywalk he/him Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 One of the kids poked their neighbor in the eye.
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 "Hey," said Narrator Charcoal. He raised his eyebrows warningly. "Behave." Then he went back to drawing.
Jaywalk he/him Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 The other kid started screaming and holding his eye.
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 Narrator Charcoal sighed and gave up helping the kids. He and his drawings disappeared to another realm. A place made entirely of charcoal drawings.

Of the three other people on the mountain top, he only recognized Sophie. He looked back at Michael. What's a mime? he thought. No. Ask about Mom. "Can you tell me about my mom? Please." "Star? Uh..." Michael looked at him sideways. "What do you want to know about her?"
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 Granite blinked. Storms, where to begin? "What... What is she? Why did she leave?"
xinoehp512 he/him Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 1 minute ago, Shard of Thought said: Granite blinked. Storms, where to begin? "What... What is she? Why did she leave?" "What is she?" Michael blinked. "Um... a Narrator?"
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 Granite bit his lip. "Yeah, I've heard that term, I just wanna know..." He sighed. "I wanna know everything. What is a Narrator anyway, what really happened to Marsh, why did my mom leave us, where is she right now, did she ever really... care. In the first place..." His shoulders fell as he looked at Michael. He looked back at Sophie, then glanced at the other man. "Who are you guys anyway?"

His shoulders fell as he looked at Michael. He looked back at Sophie, then glanced at the other man. "Who are you guys anyway?" "Uh," managed Michael, overwhelmed by the onslaught of questions. "I mean... a Narrator is someone who, ah Narrates. They're Narrators. I... well, actually, I do perform some Narration, but I use Narrativium, so it doesn't count."
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) "Narrativium? What... I..." Granite scoffed, frustrated. "Just tell me why she didn't come back after.... what happened. If nothing else, that's what I most want to know." Edited March 1, 2020 by Shard of Thought

"Just tell me why she didn't come back after.... what happened. If nothing else, that's what I most want to know." "Er... I don't think she had much choice in the matter," Michael said, scratching his head.

Granite's eye widened hopefully. Maybe his mother would have come back if she was able to. Maybe she cared. Or maybe she didn't. But there was still hope. He nodded. "Wh-where is she right now?"

Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 "Umm... Okay?" Granite furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. "Wait, hold on, other universe? What in the..." He shook his head. "You know what, I just... I need some time to... process... this..." "Oh, oh!" Sophie said. She jumped up and down and raised her hand. "I can explain, I can explain! You're a character, right? So by learning about Narrators you should be breaking the fourth wall. BUT 'cause your mom is a Narrator, your brain doesn't explode when we tell you all of this stuff!" Granite regarded her with more confusion. "What?" "Cool, right?" "Wait hold on, a character? Is that like code for something?" Sophie shrugged. "Not really, it's pretty straight forward. Here, see, I'm a Narrator. Watch this." A chair appeared for Granite to sit in, she Narrated. Granite's eyes boggled. "What the..." "IT'S AWESOME!!"

Granite's eyes boggled. "What the..." "IT'S AWESOME!!" "Wait a minute," said Michael, furrowing his eyebrows as a thought came to him. "Shouldn't you be in the other Reality with Star?"
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 Granite shrugged hopelessly. "You expect me to know?" "He wasn't really part of the story yet when that happened," Sophie said. "That might play a part in it."
xinoehp512 he/him Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 Michael sighed. "If only Silence were here... I bet he would know."
