The Longest Thread (Misadventures)

"Why not?" responded the Witherlord as the universe itself began to shake apart.

[NameIess]

Meanwhile, the wanderer was frantically shaking the sleeping mechanic. She wasn't sure who that guy who had just stepped out of nowhere was, but she was grateful that he'd distracted the withergeists.

[Ashbringer he/him]

Ash was miffed that his idea of tuna didn't work and started trying to do repairs. He thought briefly of going back to try and find if Schrodinger had Wither abilities, but decided that wasn't the point of the story.

The Mechanic was currently breaking apart as the Witherlord's dark power destroyed it.

[Ashbringer he/him]

Ash punched the Witherlord with a can of tuna. Then created a scimitar for good measure.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

With a single flick, the Witherlord reduced the tuna to dust.

[Ashbringer he/him]

The can, however, continued on.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Into the afterlife, where it was much happier.

[Ashbringer he/him]

Ash determined that this foe would not succumb to a can of tuna, and decided he probably needed backup.

The wanderer stared at the dissolving Mechanic for a moment. Then she looked up at the once-majestic gears, now trembling and grinding with the black taint of chaos upon them. Merciful Domi, this is a mess. She reached into her pack and pulled out her Korathi pendant. With trembling fingers, she prepared to activate it and send herself out of this mess.

Nameless looked on, very happy that he'd decided to stay out of this.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

536A tugged at the wanderer beseechingly. Black smoke rose in wisps as he rattled in terror.

[NameIess]

The wanderer looked down at the little thing. "What do you want me to do? I have no idea what those black things are, but I don't think I'm the one to beat them."

[Thaidakar the Ghostblood he/him]

Thaidakar pushed through the visceral pain with difficulty, oh the pain, how could this be? what power in the universe could destroy the greatest god around? then Thaidakar realized it. the Witherlord was a Dawnshard. Thaidakar widened his eyes. Thaidakar pulled out the thing that could save them all. an uno reverse card. he threw it with all his might at the wither lord aaaaand....

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

Sequence walked up to the Witherlord, and cleared their voice. They held out a small red box wrapped with a bow, smiling. The uno reverse card had worked! Kind of.

[Ashbringer he/him]

Ash set off a firework in the enclosed space.

[Thaidakar the Ghostblood he/him]

Thaidakar's pain lifted immediately as the Witherlord became the Preservationlady.

[NameIess]

Nameless poked his head in to give Thaidakar some advice. "Uh, the Witherlord's not a Dawnshard. I'm pretty sure his name's Withy, and he's, uh... a little bit more dangerous than something like that."

[Thaidakar the Ghostblood he/him]

Thaidakar shrugged as he ate a donut made of investiture.

[NameIess]

The Witherlord rammed his fist through Thaidakar's chest from behind.

[Thaidakar the Ghostblood he/him]

Thaidakar groaned and summoned his sword. he slammed it into the Witherlord, ignoring the pain in his chest.

He called his allies to help him, @Doomslug The Destroyer @Sequence 

[NameIess]

The sword, forged of the essence of Adonalsium, began withering to dust. The Witherlord grinned, backing away as Withergeists swarmed towards Thaidakar.

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

Sequence turned away from the now empty space where the Witherlord had been, still holding the present. Sequence frowned, and cleared their throat, getting the Witherlord's attention. "Um, excuse me? Mr. Witherlord? You should really stop harming these poor clock creatures. They are adorable! And as they always say, 'stingrays are simply sea pancakes.'"

[Thaidakar the Ghostblood he/him]

Thaidakar was confused, "who are you? Nameless? Doomslug? Matrim? Elephant? Ash? something or someone else?"

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

"I'm pretty sure that the Witherlord is the Witherlord, Thaidakar."

[Thaidakar the Ghostblood he/him]

Thaidakar grunted in pain as realization hit him, "I know who you are Witherlord, for every push there is a pull. for ever preservation there is a ruin. I am the pull, you the push. Am I right?"
