"So, Shoe!" exclaimed Nogard. "What have you been up to? Did you pay a visit to your hometown?"

Not . . . exactly. More like the surrounding area. Did some adventuring and such.

Come on. She's lonely outside!

I'm not going to ask her to dance, Bacon.

"Whoa!" said Bacon. "Careful there! This is a peaceful gathering. You don't want to break people's stuff by mistake!"

Shattered remains of the kazoo mixed with confetti and dirt are left behind as the Render keeps walking. “Why not?” 
I’ll have Kion wait for a bit. I don’t want him getting murdered by the Render, and the Render is probably more interesting at the party anyway.

They walked in silence for a moment.

"So . . . what's your home like? Where are you from?"

“It’s… nice, I think. I didn’t get out much. There’s a lot of stuff here I don’t understand, so I guess there have been a lot of technological innovations here. I’m from a town in the middle of nowhere. It’s an important town,” he added. “It’s the only place in the world for growing good Lisamine.”

You're just going to let her sit there all by herself?

"You'll get kicked out if you make a scene! Or worse."

The Render couldn't hurt Kion at the party. And yes, I suppose Bacon would still be talking to Kion, if he hadn't found someone else to talk with.

"You're not going to steal mine, are you?" Bacon joked.

“Maybe I will,” she said archly, then grinned. “No, don’t worry. I’ll find my own. Stitch it together from the purposes everyone else left behind.” She paused. “I don’t make a very good poet, do I?”

Come on. She's lonely outside!

Lettuce looked it up and down. "An invitation to a party," he said. "Hmm. I suppose that's where everyone went."

Charles smiled, feeling Tenth's focus sharpen.

"Whoa!" said Bacon. "Careful there! This is a peaceful gathering. You don't want to break people's stuff by mistake!"

"Hey, Ista!" called Bacon. "How was the meeting with Onyx?"

"Well, it would be a boring world with nobody in it, don't you think? Stories need characters that move and grow!"

 

Asher nods in agreement "it will be very boring with nobody." Asher looks over to the dance floor where people were dancing "it's been a bit since I've seen people so care free and happy."

I saw something maybe about him reading minds? Does Bacon read minds? This is a very important information due to some of ashers character stuff.

The Render shifts many of the larger chunks of material it contains around, causing more grinding noises. “Maybe the mage is out.” 
Meanwhile, Kion, aka the mage, touches the seal on his invitation and arrives at the party. @Sequence 

The Render, which had wandered a bit away from the entrance, suddenly springs into action, charging towards Kion.

“A party,” Sasha echoed softly. She hadn’t been to a party in… in……. she couldn’t remember. “…Lettuce, do you want to go?”

Bacon shrugged. "It sounded fine to me. But I'm hardly a poetry expert! Fortunately, I don't think there are very many poetry experts here on the Thread, so you can pretend to be a genius and nobody will notice."

"All thanks to Sequence! A very clever idea, really, having a party like this. I might have to steal the idea sometime."

Bacon can read minds at least some of the time.

Lady Bug considered this, then grinned. “I shall begin writing my verses later today.”

Lettuce booped the stamp with his nose, and in a flash they were at the party.

"Greetings!" said Bacon. "Oh! There you are, Lettuce."

Half sad have exiteed laughter this is gonna be interesting.....

So. Asher has got like a uhhhh angel and demon part of their brain soohhhh Bacon can then technically erm tell those so yeah.... the underlined italics is the demon part the normal italics is the angel part. So if Bacon is reading the mind then those will be useful to know

 

"This world can suck sometimes and we just need some time to hang out without any enemies or alliances getting in the way. It must have been really difficult to set up this party." yeah really difficult. It must suck if someone were to destroy it. hey shut it, we are not destroying this place thats mean exactly you prisdy princess no! We are not doing that.

"Well, Sequence is a Narrator, so she probably just whipped all this up in a few words! That being said, I'm sure she'd enjoy eating anyone who tried to interfere with it."

"Lisamine?"

"Whoa!" exclaimed Nogard. "That's awesome! Was it an epic battle, or more of a sneak-in-and-get-out type deal?"

1 minute ago, Through The Living Glass said:

Well . . . no . . .

Bacon let music filter through the connection encouragingly. 

[Through the Living Shadow he/him]

Oh also @Sequence I forgot to mention, but Pyk has a cloth over his eyes, but a device where they would be and on his arm.

"A mysterious voice told me to come to you. I just want to ask you a few questions."

"What questions do you have?" The tv spun on its stand to face Perseus, revealing the fuzzy outline of a man's head and shoulders. "I am the security system of this house. Answer, or I will evict you."

59 minutes ago, xinoehp512 said:

"I hope not!" said Nogard with a laugh. "They haven't tried to execute me yet, at least. Hopefully the trial proves the innocence of the Great Wizard, and we can all work together instead of fighting each other." He paused. "I... wouldn't mind if you came by, though."

Subversion smiled. "I'll be at the trial, so I'll see you then. I might come to visit you before that, we'll see how things go."

[Through The Living Glass She/They]

Actually, both. We tried to sneak in at first- but we got caught and had to fight our way out.

The wiz- well it was a girl . . . so witch? Is that how you differentiate?

Anyway, the witch ended up dead and we escaped with my sister. It was kind of crazy.

“Is that a yes?” Lady Bug demanded. She looked over her shoulder at Sasha, still dancing. “How does it sound, dedicating my profession to Bacon the Bard?”

Asher paused looked at Bacon then said "uhm did you just, i, uhm, what?" Hey that gut just said what I thought out loud! yeah so maybe now you should shut up, please before you get us in trouble. oh please trouble is my middle name, I am going to burn this down! Silence idiot! We are not doing that. Don't listen to him. "can you read minds?" asher sounded very tiny bit concerned. That's the most emotion they've felt in a bit.

4 hours ago, Sequence said:

Sequence smiled at the fairy's enthusiasm. "Why, isn't that lovely? Stories about me, you ask? Well, hmm... I suppose... There's that one time I helped Ookla the Unintelligible with his quest, that other time when I-" She froze, recalling the Witherlord. She visibly shuddered. "... There's the time when I went on a quest to earn the Plotblade Conflict, uhhh... Some others I'm forgetting I'm sure."

Dewdrop’s wings fluttered as she tilted her head, the curiosity practically glowing in her emerald eyes. "A Plotblade, you said? That name alone has me itching with questions! Is it a weapon forged from the threads of fate itself? A blade that shapes destinies as it cuts? Oh, please, you have to tell me—what makes it so special?"

She paused, her gaze softening as she hovered a bit closer, her voice dropping to a gentle tone. "And... forgive me for prying, but when you mentioned the Plotblade, you seemed... well, you shuddered. Something about that memory spooked you, didn't it? What happened, if you don’t mind sharing? It’s alright if you’d rather not, but I can’t help but feel there’s a tale there—a story that needs to be told, even if only in whispers."

Dewdrop’s demeanor brightened again as she twirled in the air, her silver hair catching the light like spun moonlight. "Now, about Ookla the Unintelligible! That’s a name to remember. What sort of quest were they on? Were they as baffling as their name suggests? Did you have to decode riddles or translate their cryptic babbling? Oh, please tell me they were one of those endearingly odd types who somehow always manage to save the day despite all odds!"

She floated closer, her wings shimmering with excitement. "I’ll admit, I’m not the type to let a mystery lie—I’d sooner leap through a hundred thorny bushes than leave a question unanswered! I promise not to poke too hard, though... just maybe a little nudge." She smirked with a playful gleam in her eye, clearly enjoying the art of asking questions far more than giving them space to go unanswered.

4 hours ago, Sequence said:

"Lovely to meet you, Quagmire! Enuller, hm? I've only met a few before, but you lot seem quite interesting!"

4 hours ago, Sequence said:

Sequence paused, thinking for a moment. "About me? Well, uh..." She thought for a moment. "I built this planet we stand on, for one. I believe I am the oldest Narrator still alive and on the Thread. Whether that makes me wise or not, I can't be sure." She laughed a bit. "I'm... peaceful, I hope. That's partially the reason for this occasion." She gestured to the people all around at the party. "Some of the people I have invited are at odds, currently. I invited them all here for an occasion of peace."

Natsu’s ears perked up, his eyes widening slightly as he crossed his arms and leaned back on one foot. "You built this planet?" he repeated, a note of impressed disbelief in his tone. He gave a low whistle. "Well, that certainly beats most of my accomplishments during my many years of wandering. Color me humbled, Sequence. Guess you really are the Narrator of all Narrators."

He glanced around at the gathering, his sharp gaze scanning the crowd. "An occasion of peace, huh? Admirable, but ambitious. Especially if some of these guests are more interested in holding grudges than holding hands." His voice carried a faint trace of skepticism, though his smirk remained. "Still, I can’t fault you for trying. Nothing wrong with shaking the cosmere up a bit for a good cause."

Dewdrop fluttered closer, her wings shimmering brightly as she smiled. "Ooooh, I like her!" she exclaimed, clasping her hands together. "A creator, a dreamer, and a mediator? Sequence, darling, you’re an inspiration." Her expression softened as she gestured grandly to the gathering. "And you’ve brought all these lovely people together. If anyone can pull off a party of peace, I’d wager it’s you."

Quagmire, as always, remained silent. His katana rested lightly against his shoulder as he shifted his weight. "Peace is fragile. Hope it holds." He said no more, his eyes flicking briefly to Natsu and Dewdrop as if gauging their thoughts.

Natsu sighed, his mischievous demeanor softening as he addressed Sequence directly. "Well, you’ve got yourself quite the crowd, and we’re here now, too. If you need a clever fox, a charming fairy, or a... brooding enigma to help keep things smooth, you know where to find us. Here’s hoping your vision comes true, Sequence. It’d be nice to see peace last for once."
