The Longest Thread (Misadventures)

ToCF used his 75$ to get a better camera for them.

[Thaidakar the Ghostblood he/him]

"You know..." whispered Thaidakar as he looked out at the picturesque landscape, "I thought of myself as a hero."

Mythos looked up from his game of Klondike, "What?"

Thaidakar didn't turn around. They were on the balcony of Thaidakar's villa in a picture. Harry Potter photo real estate was truly a great place to live, at the moment. Thaidakar had made the smart decision and bought several of these villas for future sale once people realized how it would save time and make for a better hidden base. Thaidakar had hidden this one in a painting in his mansion already. It was a good place to decide who his heir was and train the both of them, Spook and Mythos. "I have come to realize that I am not a hero. No, I am merely the person who tried and failed." He wore a militaristic, red and black uniform with his crest on his right breast. "Perhaps this is not true. Perhaps I am a hero. That would change my outlook quite much. But... I doubt that anyone sees me as that." He laughed coldly. "I, after all, became God, I was Adonalsium. I used unconventional, unthought of means to attempt to beat the Wither lord... those means, of course, were worthless."

Mythos looked thoughtful as he considered his master, "Monologues are distasteful."

"Humor me, for once, Mythos," said Thaidakar dryly. "I've considered leaving TLT, you know. More than once. But... as much as TLT doesn't want people like me, I've found that I want places like TLT." He sighed, checking his watch. To the normal person, or as normal as one can be in TLT, it would appear to be broken. But, to a narrator, the watch would be a brilliant device that, when near one of such power as Thaidakar, reveals that time in an illusion in front of the narrator's eyes when looked at. It was a brilliant piece of technology created for him by Nowhere. "I will never leave TLT, Mythos. Thus is my doom..." Thaidakar moved to a chair, far from Mythos, and sat down, thinking ponderously as he looked out over the truly wonderful landscape.

In his throne room, Onyx paused. He pulled out a sheet filled with numbers and examined it.

"Almost time," he murmured. "I'd better get prepared..."

Shadow watched from the shadows, blending in with the normal as the abnormal. he and his kind had been watching the events unfold. Things were progressing quite interestingly...

"Hello, Shadow," Onyx called out without looking in his direction. "What brings you here today?"

Shadow smiled, melting out of the normal shadows. At first, he appeared to be a walking, thin as paper, shadow. He seemed to become solid after a moment, looking like a tall, tanned man with dark hair and a dark suit. "I am here to observe, as per usual. You are of interest to us."

"Yep." Everyone said from their seat on the roof above the balcony. "You are trapped here forever."

Mythos jumped, but Thaidakar just chuckled. Thaidakar summoned a cup of an unknown drink and had a sipped, "Forever... I don't think there ever is a forever in TLT. Well, besides the forever of its insanity and nonsensicality."

"Which is in fact, a forever." Everyone pointed out. "A forever in which you are trapped in." They dropped down onto the balcony, looking around. "Nice place."

"Thanks," said Thaidakar, turning in his seat slightly. "Forever is quite a long time to live, you know, might as well do it in style."

Just now, Thaidakar the Ghostblood said:

"Thanks," said Thaidakar, turning in his seat slightly. "Forever is quite a long time to live, you know, might as well do it in style."

"Ah, but living as a time wandering creature with no discernable goals is more fun." Everyone said, inspecting a book case.

Just now, Sequence said:

"Ah, but living as a time wandering creature with no discernable goals is more fun." Everyone said, inspecting a book case.

The balcony had two bookcases, both of them with very good books. "I suppose that could be, but I've never been one to like wandering." He had another sip of his drink. "I've always liked a nice drink, a warm house and an idiot to order around." Thaidakar smiled slyly at Mythos. Mythos rolled his eyes.

"Maybe I should give it a try sometime." Everyone said, stepping back. "So, weren't you dead? If I remember correctly, you died, then came to the future from the past and reclaimed your memories, then went back to the past/died again."

"I tend to do things like that." said Thaidakar.

Spook called from inside the house, "Unfortunately you do!"

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

"Hm. And what brought you back this time?"

[Edema Rue she/her]

Trlc was riding Trlb. Together, they flew in a large circle, then landed near Everyone.

"Hm. And what brought you back this time?"

"Mythos," Thaidakar gestured to Mythos, who was playing a good game of solitaire, "wasn't using the narration powers I'd granted him very well. I might have chosen an heir wrongly. Ah well."

Everyone turned to look at Mythos. "So you took back his power, eh?"

[Immortal Platypus]

Platypus materialized next to Everyone, glowing Blade in hand. "Just so ya'll know, there is a creature that is bent on vengeance. I think it's the creature the destroyer was fighting, but I could be wrong. You guys might want to prepare for that."

Platypus dematerialized and went back to training.

"Storming narration, it draws people like a stench draws flies."

[Edema Rue she/her]

Trlb was rather bothered by this analogy, as it was, after all, a rather large butterfly. The rather large butterfly. Trlc consoled it, however, and it flew away somewhat satisfied.

"'Us', hmm?" Onyx replied, his helmet obscuring his expression. "I have a question- does your Author have access to a Plotblade yet?"

Shadow chuckled softly, "Would it be surprising to you if I said I didn't have an Author?"

"Not surprising, necessarily. There are many reasons why you might not believe that. But I won't press the issue. Instead, let me rephrase the question: does Thaidakar's Author have access to a Plotblade yet?"

Shadow raised an eyebrow, "Presumptuous of you, but I will answer the question: yes."
