Well, if you aren't going to kill Sain, I guess he is joining your party for now...

Sain looked at them, and then sighed. "I have it under control, now. It won't get away from me again."

He wove an armor of Strands around himself, encased in glowing golden tendrils. so there, haly. He held out a hand and a large spear made of the Strands. "I'm ready for whatever we are facing." He looked skeptically to Hidel.

I don't have a reason to!

"Calm down," Gaioh sighed. 

"I'm always calm. Now Platypus... you don't want to see him when he's not calm."

Okay, then let's go.

He started back towards where the doorway would have been and hoped it still there.

It was indeed still there.

"...Kay." 

"Just trust me on that one. I'm not exactly easy to scare, but angry Platypus would scare me."

[NameIess]

Just now, Ookla the Bacon said:

Bacon shrugged helplessly. "I never promised my advice would be good. And besides, how can I understand what your problem is when you don't even know?"

"I don't know!" Subversion sat up, throwing her hands in the air. "I just wish it was all real! I wish that things like people's happiness actually mattered outside of how they affect the story!" She fell back against her seat, arms flopping down by her sides, dangling off the edge of her therapy chair. "I wish," she said in a small voice. "That I was real. Because..." She paused, thinking deep, introspective thoughts. "Because he thinks I'm real, maybe. I wish everything could be real like he thinks it is."

16 minutes ago, Ookla the Bacon said:

"Yes, I suppose," said Selppaenip, somewhat distractedly.

"All right." The adventurer fiddled with a device, activating Platypus's invitation to teleport him to the cell.

Yay! Shoe is glad.

He stepped back through the door, then ran over and picked up the knife.

This has been going . . . surprisingly smoothly, he thought to himself.

Lady Bug frowned. Not real? 

And what had it been that she'd said earlier about her author? 

What was this?

ok but Lady Bug aside that's so scudding sweet of her T.T  

[Through The Living Glass She/They]

He showed Alva, making sure to keep this also out of her reach.

He didn't really trust anyone right now.

hmmm meant to merge

there is no wrong direction when zombies are involved

Soon, they ran into a zombie frantically tearing at the defenses of an official looking building.

Asher chuckled almost crazily and ran to it holding their hand out shooting out fire. They knew they needed to stay calm becuase they go slightly crazy and start just fighting everything. They get carried away and Cade doesn’t help with that. “Come here stupid zombie!!” LETS FRACKING GO!!! JUST SLAUGHTER THEM WOOOOOOOOO

Hacob smiled. Should I? It would be funny... Eh, why not.

The knife appeared in his hands after disappearing from Shoe's.

The Great Wizard glanced at him and frowned. "There is great darkness within your soul."

She reached for the knife, then paused as Gaioh began coughing again. "Is he all right?" 

"I'm fine," he replied. 

"All right..." She took a deep breath. "May I borrow that knife?" 

 

Just now, Ookla the Arbiter said:

Hacob smiled. Should I? It would be funny... Eh, why not.

The knife appeared in his hands after disappearing from Shoe's.

Alva glared at him. Her glare was far more adult and far more intimidating than Beosta's.

no. I really don't  

YES YOU DO! HERE!
Sain turned to Hacob. "Hello!" He sends a Strand towards him, waving it like a noodle in an imitation of a waving hand.

Dint grinned as the zombie struggled against the fire. "YEAH!" He and Pyk encased the zombie in Casts.

Shoe's eyes went wide. Wait, what- NO! Where-?!

He looked around for it frantically- then sighed.

Hacob. Please give it back.

Hacob, as he had previously mentioned, was far from easy to scare or intimidate.

Hacob ignored him. He was busy being glared at.

It was funny. The knife reappeared in Shoe's hand.

Sain sighed. "Bacon the Bard, Bacon the Bard, Bacon the Bard." He paused. "I don't really know where that came from."

Far away, a certain Scribe snickered as he wrote a line on the paper.

Nobody else thought it was funny. 

"Well," Alva said. "May I borrow that knife? Once I'm gone, all you'll have to do is touch that soul to her body." 

[TwinStorm He/Him]

7 hours ago, Ookla the Inconclusive said:

 Huh, okay. Maybe.

*responds*

Yeah, I'm here. Well, I can talk to you I guess.

I'm... fighting three hunters right now. Not sure if they're real or just part of the vision, but I don't trust Omen, so... be careful.

1 hour ago, Ookla the nostealnamepls said:

The hunter grunted, then looked down in shock as veins of darkness spread across his body. "Wha-what is this?" The veins spread across his entire body, the man's mouth opening in a Silent scream as the vines wrapped him tighter and tighter. In a few moments he was entirely gone, leaving behind no trace of his existence

The other two hunters stepped back, horrified expressions on their faces. 

"That may be true, but this temple isn't just going to collapse." Moni summoned the rusted dagger of Endings into her hand, then walked to the entrance of the temple with a somber air. She knelt down before the entrance, then rammed the dagger down into the stone. Despite its frail appearance, the dagger slid smoothly into the stone and imbedded itself hilt-deep. Moni stood, then walked back towards Perseus. Cracks spread out from the dagger behind her, moving along the ground and climbing up the walls of the temple. In moments the beautiful statues that had lined the walls were dust, and seconds later the walls had followed them. The massive temple collapsed without a sound, and soon it was nothing more than a cloud of dust. "There." Moni said, dismissing her Plotblade and summoning it back to her side. "It's done."

"Maybe in some way we matter. But not in any of the important ways."

"I don't know!" Subversion snapped,  "I thought like you did, before I met Nogard. I thought that the story mattered, and since I was part of it, I mattered too. But now... I don't know, it just doesn't seem like enough anymore. I don't know why."

Moni shrugged. "Maybe it was Nameless reaching out from beyond the grave. Or maybe..." She frowned in thought. "It could have been my Author."

"Alright, thank you. Do you want to speak to the defendant's lawyer? He's busy at the moment, but I'm sure he'll be available soon."

Cricket stepped back, shocked. What had he done? No. These were murderers. He looked up in resolve and charged the hunters. These men had killed his friends and family. He would end them.

Perseus stepped back, shocked. Then Atreides, crusader, warrior, emperor, god, appeared. He was tall, but young, looking to be in his early twenties with pale skin and dark hair and black clothing with the exception of a golden crown. He wore a black blade in a dark sheath and had a silver cloak. "An Avenger of the Skavi and an Avatar of the Narrator Nameless. Strange company, to destroy a temple of mine." he said.

I know . . . he thought to himself. He looked at Gaioh.

He handed her the knife, then backed away slightly.

Cricket . . . what are you doing?

She paused. "After this," she said, "All I ask is that you check up on my other children. Please."

Thanks, he said bitterly.

You're welcome. We can't all be as helpful as Bacon! Although, I will be a little helpful. You might want to look away from Alva in a second.

Now would be the time to look away.

How many children do you have?  he wrote.

Dint grinned as the zombie struggled against the fire. "YEAH!" He and Pyk encased the zombie in Casts.

Asher hadn’t felt this free for forever. After they died and became unknown to emotions they just felt dull and now they could enjoy a fight! 

Ahem what’s a cast again? I feel like I’ve asked that before but don’t remember. Sorry for the constant asking.  If this works listen to it if it doesn’t work just ignore it

asher swiped at the zombie with their blades hitting it a few times.
