The brave adventurer nods. "Absolutely certain. Don't worry, I know what I need."

The guide nodded, turning to the next person in line. And you? Who are you, and what have you come here for?

"I am known as the ally to most and my name shall be kept a secret from all here except you, and perhaps the inspector. I am called Riving. I am here to support the adventurer you were just talking to, and to ideally win a Plotblade, even if it isn't Suddenly Pineapples."

FYI, she took them outside of the flow of time for this conversation so the others wouldn't hear her name.

But not for exactly seventeen seconds, I think.

Actually, 17 seconds exactly has elapsed between posts many, many times.  The first post to be posted seventeen seconds after the previous is this one:

This was all according to Eof's master plan. Eof wanted to sell hotdogs to earn some cash.

I agree. How long do you think was the longest amount of time within which no post was posted in this thread?

It would seem that the span between this post and the one following it is currently the record holder.

Noted, replies the guide, returning the time flow to normal.

"No!" Rabbit says, "These are the last breadmonks in existence! Don't kill them!"

Is there anything you desire from Onyx?

[Immortal Platypus]

"I don't know. Is there anything he can offer me?"

There are many things he can offer. Tell me, what do you most desire?

[Immortal Platypus]

"I don't really know. I have fame, I have no need for money... Forgiveness perhaps? Maybe a Plotblade, but I don't really need one of those. If you had asked me several pages ago, I would have said immunity to Narration. I don't know what I really need."

What about a backstory?

[Immortal Platypus]

"I had a backstory once. I don't know if I still do. I could probably use one if I don't."

Is that what you wish to ask for?

[Immortal Platypus]

"Maybe. I don't know. Let me think about it. If you're reporting all this to him, just say something about me being undecided on a favor I would like to ask."

Noted, replies the guide.

"Thank you."

“Oh, alright then.” Sequence clears her throat. “I am Sequence, and I originally came here because I wanted a plotblade, but then that void eyed fellow stole my Narrative power and I’m trying to get it back.”

Noted, replies the guide. Is that everyone?

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

“Unfortunately, yes.” Sequence said, giving Everyone a sour look. Everyone smiled. “Yes hello, I am Everyone and I am also here for a Plotblade.”

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Noted, replies the guide, turning at last to the void-eyed man. He spoke up before she could ask. "I am the destroyer. I have come to claim a Blade of Plot."

"A Blade of Plot, or a Plotblade? The two are distinct separate entities. The only Blade of Plot is Vengeance which Platypus has. But there are many Plotblades."

There are many names used for the vessels that hold fragments of Plot.

The destroyer waved. "Yeah. That."

[Immortal Platypus]

"You are after Vengeance? Or the Blade wielded by Onyx?"
