He picked up the sculpture, feeling it. "Huh."

 

He looked at the apple curiously. "This is. . . weird."

It bobbed a little closer, sending impressions of happy breezes.

"And how did that turn out for you?"

"I..." he faltered. "Not well. Stop trying to confuse me! I know what you are. I'm not letting you or anyone else hurt them."

Cricket smiled. At least these weren't tormenting him. In one world he had been to, the spirits had terrorized him so much he had left two hours after arriving.

Shoe sneezed. For no reason.

"That's awfully kind of you, Bat," Tam said, appearing behind him and resting her elbow on his shoulder.

"To free Ragnarok from the demons, who've tortured and enslave the Skavi for years."

“That sounds like a worthy goal. What do you need?” Kion looks around again, hoping to notice something, perhaps a description of the area around him.

Just now, Ookla the Inquisitive said:

"Don't know yet." Around them were massive stone trees, with hanging branches that almost blotted out the gemstones that served as a sun.

"How do you know that?"

"Onyx's backdoor," explained Bacon.

wait why is it talking about Perseus??? Is that a mistake? Should that be under the Cricket section?

It isn't. I quoted the whole post, but he's talking to Cricket.

"Oh, right- you have that prejudice against Narrators." Bacon sighed. "So much for giving advice, then!"

[TwinStorm He/Him]

54 minutes ago, Ookla the Bacon said:

"And how did that turn out for you?"

"Time here is stretched, so I can't say exactly when they'll show up."

"Hate to be the bearer of bad news," said Bacon, "but they have your current position logged in their database. It seems they've been actively tracking you."

"No idea!"

okay thanks.

Cricket cursed. "How? How? What are we supposed to do now? We can't fight them, and we can't run!" he looked to the others helplessly.

"I've never actually died before. I should've though. The demon's curse saved me."

"You're lucky. Not all of us are so hard to kill."

15 hours ago, Ookla the Inquisitive said:

Kion sighs, having hoped that just maybe he’d stop being overshadowed. “That would be Faunus. My name is Kion. Who might you be?” 

"I'm Moniker, Avatar-well, ex-avatar-actually, maybe still the Avatar and he's an ex-Narrator... whatever. I was Nameless's avatar, but then he died." She avoided looking at the mangled Redmaw bits beneath the wheels of the train.

14 hours ago, Ookla the Dylsxic said:

“We’re here because Kion, a Mage, would like to help people before his Render kills him. And you two were first on our list of non-made up people we could help.” Faunus said, inspecting the situation.

"His Render?" Moni inspected Faunus quizzically. "Also, I haven't heard of any Narrators called Faunus. Are you new?"

13 hours ago, Ookla the Bacon said:

The air is still and silent, but the bare branches of the trees rustle as if in wind.

The traveler gulps, clutching the map tightly as she continues on. I hope I'm going the right way. I still have barely any idea how to read this thing.

13 hours ago, Ookla the Bacon said:

"Were the Brave Adventurers behind it?" exclaimed Selppaenip.

"Perhaps," ... replied. "but I doubt that most of them would condone something like this. But I know of at least one Brave Adventurer who would perhaps consider such an action, and rumors say that he holds a Plotblade capable of such a feat."

Subversion popped up, having recovered very well from her emotional crisis earlier. "Maybe you should just let them train you. I know they might be somewhat ominous, but Enullers in general seem like pretty good people. Aside from the whole 'trap all the Narrators in TLT' thing."

As she walked, she came across a mass of green insects feasting on the bodies of red insects. Footsteps were visible in the flaky ground, leading away.

Platypus appeared. "I mean, trapping the Narrators in TLT is probably a good thing. Can you imagine what the world would be like if Narrators were there? It would be worse than it is already! And they keep the withergeists too, so even if you disagree with Narrators being here, it's not all bad."

"Oh! Subversion! You're here!" Tam said, startled. "How are you feeling . . . ?"

The small sand creature appeared again and jumped onto Subversion's shoulder. It was completely featureless, but least it no longer looked like Cricket.

“Agree to disagree about the Narrator thing, but as I side, they’re mostly good.”

The traveler gave the insects a wide berth, eyeing them warily.

The Brave Adventurer?" guessed Selppaenip.

“Indeed!” … put the papers down with a flourish. “Quite a bad look for those arguing the Great Wizard should’ve trusted the organization.”

2 minutes ago, Ookla the Inconclusive said:

“How am I-oh, yeah. I’m fine. I figured something out.”

"Are you joking? Two sort-of Enullers, who can barely use their powers, two Narrators who are useless against Enullers, and a human, and then somebody with a Nullite tattoo. We don't stand a chance."

that's Perseus, not Cricket btw

Cricket laughed, but his face darkened once more. "No. I'm not leaving you guys. Maybe I should just talk to them again...?"

"With Ciara? Then, we had Natsu. With the withergeists? That was different and we had Pyk. With the hunters? That was a rogue Enuller, and even then, we knew the whole force of the Enullers were coming for him. And we had Platypus. No. We need to find a way to stop them from tracking me."

That's a good point.

"So how do we stop them from tracking you?"

"Me? It depends. Are they focused on you? Are they willing to fight me? How many are going to fight me at once? Are they trying to capture or kill you? Can we surprise them? All in all, I could take several. Probably wouldn't even be as hard as fighting Feanor was."
