We shall call him... Sangent.

The Enuller looked, cursing, before expanding his wall of darkness all around him, creating a dome.

Sangent, the Ennuller said severely. What have you been doing for the past two years?

If you want to adjust the time, tell me.

50 minutes ago, TwinStorm said:

"So, he find whoever has Endings and take it. Who was it? Moni, or something?" said Perseus. "Easy."

24 minutes ago, NameIess said:

"Well," Said a voice that sounded like Bacon's. "She is a pacifist, so it wouldn't be too hard to get it from her."

"Who said that?" asked Bacon nervously. "Just because she's a pacifist doesn't mean there wouldn't be consequences for trying to steal it! She has friends."

16 minutes ago, Dragonheir said:

After quite a while of lurking on it and reading, I’ve decided to join this. We’ll see how it goes; things may move too fast and I’ll quit again. 
In a random area of the Thread, a man crackles into being. “Ha! Counterspell this, Render! Or whatever… Teleportion!” The man then looks around, trying to determine where he had brought himself, and if he’d have to risk using more magic. Not sure if narrators can sense something like this. I might have him find an invitation to that party. 

Bacon showed up. "Greetings, random citizen! Welcome to..."

He noticed Tam and did a double take. "You got here before me!"

24 minutes ago, NameIess said:

"Of course we're trying to find the truth. We just won't force you to testify, since your testimony might incriminate you."

Well you beat up Rond and Thaidakar, and you didn't let me help that time like I promised!

"Oh," said Nogard. "Do I get a lawyer?"

4 minutes ago, SpiritOfWrath said:

Narrators can do anything (unless opposed by another Narrator/Ennuller/Luxsprite(presumably)/Withergeists (Luxsprites are all gone except for platypus)). Some Narrators have read the non-bold text... lol

Do ya want a... Draconics character to pop in? (Other than Jilu [and em rabbits]. She doesn't count.)

but she's gonna pop in anyways. Maybe that'll be the connection.

Out of the Red, a woman made of pure Red appeared. She spoke waves of red. "Hello. Where am I?" She looked around uncertainly.

[Just believe! With our neuro-monitoring Casts, the suit can tell when you give the command!]

@xinoehp512

i can't remember if I replied to you...

Tenth looked at Charlie irritably.   How do I get better? Practice? 

Practice, practice, practice. And pain.

The object began emitting an painfully high-pitched note.

“Other than my stunt of putting you in that pink dress, no I don’t quite think so.” She said with a slight smile, “Is it whatever you say happens, or do you have to think it?” Then Faunus paused, tilting her head to the side, brow furrowing. “What happens if two Narrators try to make different things happen. Say there’s a puddle, one has declared it getting bigger, the other drying up, does it do both, neither, or is there strength involved?”

"Less thinking, more just... doing. Sometimes writing what you want to happen can help you focus, but it's not the writing that matters usually." Subversion stroked her chin thoughtfully. "If two Narrators directly contradict each other, there can be a lot of results. Sometimes what one wants will happen, then what the other, sometimes it will depend on strength, and sometimes it will depend on who keeps Narrating it for longer. It really depends on a lot of things."

3 minutes ago, xinoehp512 said:

"Who said that?" asked Bacon nervously. "Just because she's a pacifist doesn't mean there wouldn't be consequences for trying to steal it! She has friends."

"They wouldn't be strong enough to stop someone actually willing to wield Endings." The voice sounded very slightly different from Bacon now.

4 minutes ago, xinoehp512 said:

"Do you want one?"

cruel...

Tenth took in a breath. He lashed against it, bringing everything he could against it once again.

Ok, then. SKIPPITY SKIP UNTIL HE HAS A SMALL NOT OF SUCCES!

Jilu looked at Bacon. "Where are we?"

2 minutes ago, Through The Living Glass said:

"I did!" she giggled, giving him mustache made of bacon.

Tam was now solid Red. "Who are you?"

I am truly sorry Dragon, but we are now spamming you.

Running a hand through her hair, Faunus thought on what Subversion said, but it just brought more questions to mind. “Can you narrate something to happen to another Narrator? What about non-Narrators, do they really get to choose what they do, or is their whole life just a Narrator’s thing to play with?”

Subversion considered this. "Well, you can sometimes Narrate something to happen to Narrators. But they can resist in most cases. For example, Bacon." The hair of the Bacon who was standing next to Faunus and Subversion turned blue. "As for non-Narrators... that depends. They can be Narrated if they're not protected, but they do make choices on their own. To the same extent we do at least."

I know, and she realized that, which was why she did it. She was making fun of him, after all.

"I'm here because you appeared on the Thread! And I'm not following you right now." She took a single step towards him.

"There. Now I'm following you. What are you doing here?"

Was it magical sarcasm? 
Kion is rather bewildered. “How are you this … I don’t know … uncaring? I’m here because I was in danger, so I left. I didn’t care where I went, and here seemed good, so I teleported myself. You say this place is called the Thread?”

Out of the Red, a woman made of pure Red appeared. She spoke waves of red. "Hello. Where am I?" She looked around uncertainly.

Huh. Who needs a fourth wall anyway? What do you mean by Draconic? The Illuminated? 
Kion sighs. “I wouldn’t know. I’m safe for now, though - that’s the important thing. That’s an interesting Deviation.” 

14 minutes ago, xinoehp512 said:

Bacon showed up. "Greetings, random citizen! Welcome to..."

He noticed Tam and did a double take. "You got here before me!"

Kion had honestly stopped being surprised at this point. These strange people are quite irresponsible, teleporting around left and right. 

12 minutes ago, Through The Living Glass said:

"I did!" she giggled, giving him mustache made of bacon.

Kion gapes. “What are you thinking? And Silence for that!” 

9 minutes ago, SpiritOfWrath said:

It’s fine. I can use unread content to catch anything I missed.

No.

"I'm not uncaring. I'm just trying to be funny."

Kion’s expression at this point is quite amusing, with how baffled he is. “None of you care a bit about Renders? You’re advancing your death for this?”

Naaaaaaahhhh... Pyk and Tenth are my Illuminated Characters (And technically Nasriel, but wrong time period)

Draconics is something I've never really shown to anyone. I really took the philosophy "write and don't care about subplots and don't care about how well it is written". It was my first (well... second. But the first was even worse, and I don't even consider it salvageable. I wrote it in like... third grade.) story, and I got it to about thirty pages when I realized it was kinda bad. I liked the idea tho, so I've been wanting to rewrite it once I'm a better writer.

"I'm Jilu."

And another person appeared. She looked at Jilu. "Ah! Yes, you. You are probably wondering about the Red, aren't you?"

Faunus smiled deviously at Bacon’s hair turning blue, and turned her smirk towards Subversion, who started rapidly growing a very majestic mustache. “Can you narrate people into existence? Say I’m lonely, and want a new friend, can I just narrate my ideal friend into being?” She then frowned, not quite liking where this was going. It made life feel so smaller than it is if she could just make people…

I hear Illuminated have dragon-like blood, so that was what I thought you were referring to. Practice is important for better writing. I should reread some of my old projects for ideas, honestly. 
Kion continues becoming more and more baffled as more people appear. “My name is Kion. Hello, I suppose.” 

6 minutes ago, Through The Living Glass said:

She grinned at his expression. "Renders? What, like Blender?"

Kion is somehow more confused than before. What has he gotten into? “You’ve never heard of Renders? The creatures that appear when you use magic? The ones that hunt us down always?”

"No, I haven't. Never seen them, never heard of one." A piece of toast appeared in her hand, and she began munching it.

Well you beat up Rond and Thaidakar, and you didn't let me help that time like I promised!

"Well," Said a voice that sounded like Bacon's. "She is a pacifist, so it wouldn't be too hard to get it from her."

Perseus grinned. "We'll slaughter anybody in her way, if she doesn't give us the Blade."

who's rping Moni?

I've been doing what the Council doesn't have guts to do!  roared Sangent from inside his dome.

"Ha! I've forced my entrance into the kingdom of Nrathagond, slaying dozens as I did so! What chance do they have?"

Wow. Kion is doing a lot of being confused. I suppose that’s what happens when you teleport somewhere with different physical laws. 
He blinks, stunned once again. “You don’t have Renders? Where are they, then?” His stomach rumbles and he realizes just how long it’s been since he last ate. “Since you can apparently do magic with no consequences, may I have toast?” 

[Immortal Platypus]

3 hours ago, TwinStorm said:

The Enuller slammed a wall of pure darkness right in front of Platypus.

Platypus' Luxblade extended into a pole and he vaulted over the wall, relentlessly continuing the attack.

1 hour ago, xinoehp512 said:

Ah! said an Ennuller, popping into existence next to Platypus. Here you are.

He glanced at the rogue Ennuller and frowned.

Did we get his name?

"Wonderful! I see you got my paperwork! Do you want to take it from here, or do you want my help?"

1 hour ago, TwinStorm said:

The Enuller looked, cursing, before expanding his wall of darkness all around him, creating a dome.

Platypus slowed down his attack so that he knew the Ennuller could keep up, just in case the Ennuller from the Wall didn't want his help anymore.

1 hour ago, NameIess said:

Well you beat up Rond and Thaidakar, and you didn't let me help that time like I promised!

I barely even beat up Rond, and Thaidakar was distracted fighting Desolation. And that was a long time ago. Besides, when did you promise to help?

35 minutes ago, xinoehp512 said:

"Who said that?" asked Bacon nervously. "Just because she's a pacifist doesn't mean there wouldn't be consequences for trying to steal it! She has friends."

Platypus looked on curiously, halting his attack.

- 

Platypus spoke to Bacon. "Yeah. I'm ok with Moni having Endings, but I would trust very few others with it."

Moni is one of Nameless' characters.

Platypus cut through the dome with his Blades.

"Nowhere," she said in-between bites.

"And I can make you more than just toast, y'know." But a piece of toast appeared in his hands, anyway.

It made life feel so smaller than it is if she could just make people…

The mustache vanished as soon as Subversion noticed it. "Yes, you're getting the hang of it." Subversion rubbed her lip, eyes slightly narrowed, and Faunus suddenly noticed that she had an annoying hangnail. "And yes, you can Narrate people into existence. Although it's hard to make their personality turn out exactly how you want it, you can always just directly Narrate them."

3 minutes ago, TwinStorm said:

I am.

We did that whole duel thing, remember? And even though it was a draw, I still decided to hold up my end of the bargain and help you, but then I wasn't able to.

3 minutes ago, Immortal Platypus said:

"Like Kilometers! Love that guy, I'll need to get my Author to bring him back up!"

"And I can make you more than just toast, y'know." But a piece of toast appeared in his hands, anyway.

He eats it hungrily. “I’d assume so. But I wouldn’t want to ask too much of you. Although without Renders… this could change everything. Are you and other mages able to help everyone now?”

Yes, of course I remember the duel. I remember more of dueling the weird almost-Nameless mostly, but yes I remember it. And you could've helped, it's not like I stopped you.

"Yeah, but Kilometers is special. He's completely immune to Narration, remember? There was a whole plot about it."

"First of all, we're called Narrators, not mages, Mr. DnD. hehe Secondly, we can and do help everyone, and we've always been able to." She Narrated a really good ham sandwich for him, as well.

Hacob appeared next to Tam. "We help people? Only sometimes." The sandwich disappeared. "Mostly we're pretty goofy, but Tam is being too serious." The sandwich reappeared on the other dude's head, then started tap dancing. "We're the things that make TLT so wonderfully chaotic!"

Bacon examined himself in the mirror. No to the blue hair, yes to the bacon stache, he decided. His hair returned to its natural brown.

 

48 minutes ago, NameIess said:

"Do you want one?"

"Well," said Nogard. "I suppose I ought to speak with the Great Wizard's lawyer, right?"

44 minutes ago, SpiritOfWrath said:

Tenth took in a breath. He lashed against it, bringing everything he could against it once again.

Ok, then. SKIPPITY SKIP UNTIL HE HAS A SMALL NOT OF SUCCES!

How badly does he want this?

13 minutes ago, TwinStorm said:

who's rping Moni? 

I've been doing what the Council doesn't have guts to do!  roared Sangent from inside his dome.

You are rebelling against the codes laid down by Silence himself, said the Ennuller severely. Your actions threaten the stability of the Thread. Renounce your deviations at once, or we will be forced to take action against you.

12 minutes ago, Immortal Platypus said:

Platypus' Luxblade extended into a pole and he vaulted over the wall, relentlessly continuing the attack.

"Wonderful! I see you got my paperwork! Do you want to take it from here, or do you want my help?"

This is an internal affair. Do not trouble yourself.

"Yes . . . but we also try to be nice and help those in need. Well, I do." She glared at Hacob, and the tap-dancing Sandwich disappeared, once again replaced by a normal sandwich.
