The Longest Thread (Misadventures)

[NameIess]

Unintelligible took advantage of this to stab Szeth through the chest.

[Szeth Pancakes he/they]

Szeth grinned, blood seeping from between his teeth, then vanished.

[NameIess]

Unintelligible immediately ducked to the side, expecting an attack from behind.

[Immortal Platypus]

"Halt this useless conflict at once!" Phillipe cries after killing the remaining breadmunks. "I will Narrate you both out of existence if I must."

[NameIess]

"I'd like to see you try." Unintelligible waved a hand, and arena atomized itself. "Looks like Subversion isn't here."

[Immortal Platypus]

"You want to see me try?" Phillipe asks, glowing and rising into the air. "Is that really what you want? I can do it. Your Ookla abilities have nothing on my Narratively enhanced Ookla abilities, not to mention my Narration. But I digress. We need to go find her. SHE KILLED VALIANT!!!"

"While we're here, Szeth, wanna join us?"

[NameIess]

Unintelligible sighed, but decided not to push Phillipe any further. "So, who's going to teleport us this time?"

[Szeth Pancakes he/they]

Szeth was not in the room. He healed, then laughed at the people who thought he was.

[Immortal Platypus]

"This time it's my turn." Phillipe says after looking around to see if anyone else volunteered. He closed his eyes. A blinding light surrounded him. It enveloped the whole group. Suddenly they were in Szeth's room, puffing into existence before his eyes.

[NameIess]

"Aha! I knew it! Szeth must secretly be Subversion!"

[Szeth Pancakes he/they]

”Ok.”

[Immortal Platypus]

"If he is, you can kill him."

[NameIess]

Unintelligible raised his sword to Szeth's throat. "Alright. Let's prove he's secretly Subversion. Szeth, what's your real name."

Coughing blood, the Other Cloaked Figure stood and ripped the knife out of his back. He turned to his Rootspren and raised an eyebrow.

"You could've warned me that would happen!"

The Rootspren, Gurgles, shrugged his blobby shoulders. He looked like a pool of root on the ground. When he moved, he moved like an amoeba. "Ya healed. It's fiiine."

The Other Cloaked Figure glared at the spren. "Ah right, fine, I'll tell you next time!" Gurgles grumbled, blobbing across the ground.

[Immortal Platypus]

now i want a rootspren.

[Telrao she/her]

You absolutely do. They're extremely rare, and only pick the most dedicated root drinkers. Thaidakar could probably get one, if he was still alive...

[Immortal Platypus]

DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH ROOT I DRANK?!!!!!?!!

[Telrao she/her]

Ah, but did you discover the Fountain of Root? *sing song voice* I don't think so! 

[Immortal Platypus]

i was there. i think it counts.

[Telrao she/her]

Welp, have an adventure! They're very picky, and about as rare as the spren Bondsmiths bond with so... good luck!

[Immortal Platypus]

great... also the stormfather is a sliver, not a spren (splinter). or maybe vice versa if i got my terminology flipped.

[Telrao she/her]

Oh - yep! He's a sliver. I should know - I just finished reading WoR!

[Immortal Platypus]

oh, i didn't even think that you might not know that. i would say sorry, but i don't need to!!!" also, I love your question under your name.

[NameIess]

Unintelligible took offense to all the non-quest stuff going on, so he decided to just teleport everyone, including Szeth, to the source of the greatest currently active evil in TLT, rationalizing that this would be bound to be where Subversion was hiding.

He was wrong. Very wrong.

[Telrao she/her]

For there was something worse. Something more horrible that Subversion hiding there. This powerful being was...
