“Sorry. By one of those worlds, I mean one of the really bad* ones. The ones that are made when Narrators are feeling particularly evil.”

Jeremy stared at him. "Yes," he said finally. "I understand exactly what those words mean. That is not cryptic in the slightest."*

Can someone tell me what's happened so I can re-join in?

Nameless merely shook his head and continued swinging, easily holding off the horde. “You still think this gives you an advantage? Let me give you a lesson in the fundamental laws of TLT. Numbers do not give you an advantage. In fact, they give you a disadvantage! The more you split, the weaker you become.”

"True, but you see, I have Vengeance. The more you do to me, the more reason for Vengeance I have. The more reason for Vengeance I have, the more powerful I become. Each of me is still of nearly the same power as normally, so this does give me an advantage. Allow me to demonstrate." The horde of Platypus starts to press in, not being fended off as easily.

Subversion and Platypus were dueling, then Subversion turned into Nameless, so now they're fighting. Desolation is apparently back, but isn't doing much as most of the others are on a quest, and he can't invade where Platypus and Nameless are fighting. Nerdy is back with Drama, so you'd probably want to go there.

The Once-Author appears next to Nerdy. "Howdy. Whatcha doing?" He asks.

Nerdy continued munching on the lemon sandwich cookies. "Not much, just hanging out. I had a whole elaborate string of traps set up on this planet, but nobody was polite enough to trigger them. I even got my hands on some of that new narration-stopping ore, but everybody has their own Plotlines going on. Probably something to do with the fate of the universe itself. You know, the stuff that happens once a minute here on TLT."

"Hm. Yeah. Do you want me to trigger them?" The Once-Author asks.

[NerdyAarakocra They/Them]

"Thanks for offering, but no. It wouldn't be the same." Nerdy offered the Once-Author a lemon sandwich cookie.

The Once-Author accepts, eating the lemon sandwich cookie. "Did you make these?" He asks. "Also, why aren't you on some crazy quest? This is TLT."

"Okay, let me explain it better. There are these Narrators, think gods of creation. Tons of power, not very much responsibility, pretty terrible people. They make worlds, and sometimes they make worlds that you wouldn't want to go to. Which this one might be." The shadowed figure looked around nervously. "If it is one of those worlds, then we need to leave."

At that moment, the wind stopped.

"Interesting line of reasoning." Nameless pulled out his medallion and pressed it against one of the Platypuses, all four points of the medallion glowing briefly. "I'd back up if I were you."

"I've just been chilling here for a while. I managed to influence the economy of this world to be oriented towards the industrial production of lemon sandwich cookies. I was hoping to jump back into the plotline when some other Narrators landed here, but it seems like events are progressing without my help."

"Hey, do you want to have a duel? I know of a few good arenas on this planet, and it would give us something to do."

"How about to three strikes?"

The Platypus that he pressed it to disappeared. The rest continued forward, except for the one that was talking to Nerdy earlier. In general, Platypus was unarmed, but some had weapons, and those ones led the charge.

Nameless frowned. "Where'd you send that one?" As the Platypuses attacked, Nameless defended himself with skill acquired over hundreds of pages, standing his ground against the assault.

"Poor page 1,403." Nameless hit another Platypus with the medallion. "There are only so many pages to send yourselves to."

That one disappears too. An explosion rocks the arena, throwing people in the stands to the ground, and threatening to unbalance Nameless. Several of Platypus lose their footing.

Nameless grinned. “Another advantage of splitting you: I don’t have to hold back against copies.”

"True. I'd do the same, but I'm sure you wouldn't die, even if I killed you, so..." Platypus' attack continued to speed up as more and more came towards Nameless.
