Just now, TwinStorm said:

Even as they spoke, their surroundings were lit on fire by the hunter, who had paused long enough to speak from the shadows. "Accept death's embrace, foolish ones."

Shoe instinctively whirled towards the voice and threw his shield up.

"Moni? Any other Plotblades? Hmmm, Endings seems appropriate." he said, turning to Lady Bug. "Do you know of any Plotblades that aren't in use?"

@The Halcyon Girl @Through The Living Glass

She shrugged. "Nope! I don't. I don't know of any plotblades at all! Until Endings, just now." 

@xinoehp512 @nameless why can't I ping you 

Is Beginnings in use/important to plot?

Beosta swore. She was not a fan of that heat. "What do we do now?"

Nogard stepped through the portal.

"I... guess so. Should we go... somewhere?"

"Are you willing to testify in the trial?"

Subversion glanced around. Huh. I would've sworn he would fall for that. "Enuller! Come fight me, so I can beat you up or something!"

Not currently, to my knowledge.

Beosta loved the stupid wolf right then. 

Gail thought choices were a very nice, vital part of living.

Shoe shrugged. Look for an opening to attack?

Hah! Shoe smiled. Go, Carrot!

He kind of wanted to help . . . but he mostly just didn't want to get in the wolf's way.

Oh well.

The power stood firm and resolute.

Tenth sighed.  Is there a trick to this?

Oh, is this from your legally disputed non-Narratorial powers? Yeah, that is different from Narration, but calling it 'Creation' isn't fair. It implies that Narration doesn't create things, when Narration is probably the most creating power there is!

Legally disputed?! I'll have you know there is no litigation, or other legal paperwork, civil or otherwise against my powers. And do you have a better name? You and I both know that naming things isn't my strong suit.

The Enuller stabbed at Platypus's head as he fell, using the time it brought him to assess the situation. Retreat. Xanine, cover my escape. Seven-Souled will be pleased.  he said. A hunter leapt out of a portal, falling into another one, so as to fire a shot at both Shoe and Beosta and Platypus. The hunter near Shoe and Beosta disappeared through a portal.

Platypus blocked the Ennuller's strike with Vengeance, then twisting, blocked the arrow with the Luxblade. "Fight me you coward!" he yelled at the Ennuller.

Bacon frowned. "What about Endings? I don't know where it is, if that's what your asking. I believe it was last seen in the possession of a character named Moni, but who knows- I could be totally wrong about that."

"It was!" Platypus called. "Though Subsy had it for a little while!"

Is there a Beginnings plot blade? Asking for a friend 

10 hours ago, NameIess said:

There would be, yes. Every plot concept has a corresponding Plotblade.

I believe I mentioned it originally around the time that Endings was brought up.

10 hours ago, The Halcyon Girl said:

Does anybody own it?

I don't think so.

if it is owned, it's definitely not in use. And you can't ping Nameless because he has a silly name cause someone stole his name during Ookla season

The heat from the fire  

Beosta didn’t feel like being cooked. She swore again, looking around for Cricket. It was probably time to pull out now.

It's in a sheath. The actual armor caan also be stored inside the weapon when you want to take it off quickly, and can be extracted from the weapon and put on if you need it. This requires your fingerprint.

oh btw cool PFP

The armor continued in a cheery voice. [I see you have noticed the aided movement! The suit will be actively reading your intent, and it can aid you in any task you wish to undertake! The first thing I wish for you to do is stow your suit.]

The suit started to shrink away, until it was all contained in the knife. It returned then. [Now do it yourself! And do not worry! We have your fingerprint recorded, so only you can take it out of the knife!]

Tenth redoubled his focus, struggling against the Ennuller's defenses.

Noted, also thanks. 

Asher looked down at the knife. “The armor fits in this?” They held the knife up near their face looking at it confused. “Is it hollow?” Asher pulled the knife out of the sheath. Unsheathed?

“Of course you have a choice. You don’t have to testify if you don’t want to.” The brave adventurer shook his head. “Why would we force you to testify?”

You could call it “creating via my *redacted for the purpose of not getting on Onyx’s bad side* powers.”  Also, let me take the Enuller! You always beat up the bad guys, and I want a turn.

"Controlled in what way?" asked Bacon. "Directly authoring their decisions, and such?"

"Pretty much, yeah. Sometimes when somebody among the populace has a destructive idea or invention, I wipe it from their minds. That sort of thing. I feel... Not great when I do it, so this is the only such experiment I have. The peace and prosperity is nice though. Just a bit unnatural."

The dude set everything on fire. I quot d it for you. 
“Put out the fire,” Beosta snapped at her, wiping sweat off her forehead.

The voice comes from the knife. [Our technology is 100% compressible and decompress-able! There should be a button on the hilt of the knife, which, when uncapped and pressed with your thumb, will bring it back!]

The flames turned into spikes of obsidian.

"I wasn't trying to make you beg for anything."

Tam vanished.

Beosta scowled. Her brother was about to die and that was how she reacted? She stalked forward and broke off a piece of one of the spikes. 

How had her dad contacted Tam, anyway?

Tam's head popped into existence a short distance away.

"He showed up in the middle of the desert near where I was."

Then she vanished again.

Beosta growled. Narrators were incredibly frustrating. 

“When will this fight end? I’m sick of standing around,” she griped. 

She also wanted to go somewhere far away. Even though her dad hadn’t come here, she didn’t want him to somehow track her here. 

Oh, wait.

Her CD was over. 

What was she gonna do with herself now? She didn’t have an excuse— reason, she told herself— to stay with Shoe anymore. Or any of the others.

Me too. He flexed his hand. Tam appeared to have healed it.

Sorry about her, by the way.
