No, we need to go get my actual body. It's currently sitting at the bottom of a swamp with a sword stuck through it, no right arm, and only one eye.

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

Everyone raised an eyebrow, the replica Nameless vanishing. “So, you’d rather turn your body into a creepy zombie thing then inhabit it again?”

[NameIess]

Of course. It's not me anymore.

"Don't tell me that someone is going to give you an ingot of metal and a gemstone and tell you to make them your own," Bookwyrm said.

Of course not. That doesn't even make sense. How do you make something 'your own?' If I knew how to do that, I'd have made a new body immediately.

"I was-" Bookwyrm shook his head. "Nevermind. It's not important."

I know what you were doing. It just isn't really a good comparison.

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

"So when do we go and get your body?"

[NameIess]

Right now, of course.

Reality shifted slightly, and a swamp melted into place.

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

Wizard hovers above the swamp. "There's something Darke down there."

[NameIess]

Yes, that would be the hydra.

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

"... There's a Hydra guarding your body?"

[NameIess]

No, it just lives here. Lucky for Unintelligible and AdoKho.

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

"Oh. Is it hostile?" Everyone dropped a small rock into the swamp. "Wouldn't want to waste energy on a massive fight if we could just be friends with it."

[NameIess]

Well, after it ate my body's left arm, it started mutating weirdly.

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

Everyone sighed. "So does that mean we have to kill it?"

[NameIess]

I don't know, do we?

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

"Do these 'mutations' make it hostile? Is it going to attack us if we try to get your body back?"

[NameIess]

Now why would I go and spoil something like that? It'd ruin the tension.

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

Everyone sighed, and dove into the swamp.

[NameIess]

My body's about two dozen feet ahead, and seven to the left. Watch out for the piranhas.

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

Everyone rolled their eyes and crossed their arms, sinking quickly and following Nameless's directions by using small puffs of black smoke to angle their descent. They finally made it to the bottom. They looked around. What is it supposed to look like? Is it all gross and decayed or does it just look like... you? Except, without an arm, of course.

[NameIess]

Of course it looks just like me. It just has a sword sticking out of its chest, a broken leg, and thirteen knives in its back. Oh, and the hydra bit a chunk out of the leg.

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

... How did that happen again? Everyone continued looking. I thought Narrators were Invincible.

[NameIess]

Well it wasn't a Narrator anymore, once I got expelled from it.
