The text of the note shifted. So that is the question? Ok… well… I care because I can still do things. I can create things. Sure, it may have been my Author, but I was the one who actually created it.

The traveler scribbles down a reply. Thanks for your reply. Your first answer about enjoying Plot is much as Subversion saw things, before meeting Nogard.

Sequence nodded wearily. "Perhaps, perhaps... Could you help me, maybe? I haven't spoken with many Enullers, nor do I really know how I'd go about seeking the Dreamsmith for something other than a weapon." She shakily got to her feet, looking like she might fall over. Silent and mostly unmoving until now, the young woman sitting on the bench stood up to take Sequence's arm for support. 

"But first," Sequence said. "... I think I'd like to rest for a moment."

"Of course. I'll go find someone who can help you. Be back soon." Unintelligible vanished.

20 minutes ago, Ookla the Bacon said:

Ex-Narrators are treated the same as any normal character. Which is to say, very rarely allowed to leave.

Subversion pumped her fist. "Hah! You hear that Platypus? I was right!" She beamed with pride as she checked off 'prove Platypus wrong about ex-Narrators being able to leave TLT.' off her list. "Next, I wanted to requisition some Nullite. Do you have paperwork for that or..."

Unintelligible appeared in front of the Enuller reception desk, shoving Subversion out of the way in his haste. "Quick, do you know anyone who can treat Narrator's injuries? My friend has been gravely wounded!"

"Thank you." The traveler does her best to calm her nerves. "So, why don't you? Why do you care about the lives of others?"

The traveler nods nervously. "Why should anyone care about anything, given that we're all fictional characters and given the power that a Narrator possesses?"

A note fluttered down to them.Sorry. Wriulin is currently dead. But there is a person in this city that might shed some insight. I won’t say any more.

Charles read the note and frowned.

Who are you?  he called.

Tam opened her mouth to say something, but closed it and shook her head sadly.

The sand person jumped from Tam's pack onto Bacon's head.

Bacon looked at the sand person glumly. "I don't suppose you know how to convince her?"

You may requisition a doctor.

The Ennuller handed them both requisition forms.

8 minutes ago, Ookla the Bacon said:

You may requisition a doctor.

The Ennuller handed them both requisition forms.

Unintelligible fills the form out hastily, managing (barely) to remain in control of his powers well enough to keep from writing random gibberish. "Here, done." He thrust it back into the Enuller's hands.

Subversion takes her time filling out her own form, mildly intrigued by Unintelligible's actions.

"Thank you. No rush, of course, and I hope you know how much I appreciate your help." She waved to him right before he vanished. "So compassionate, don't you think?" Sequence asked the young woman at her side. She nodded absently, focused on helping Sequence inside. They led her to her room, gently helping her get into bed and inspecting Sequence's bandage before leaving the room.

Out on the porch, they leaned against the wooden railing and gazed off at the seemingly endless mountain range. They looked at their wrist, where there was a faint tattoo written in ink quite similar in shade to their own skin.

Aelinor, my creation, my  it read. In the deepest pits, darkest shadows, and most painful storms, always remember why you're here. Always remember that you are more special than you could ever imagine, and that you have more purpose and more to experience than you know. And always remember how strong you are.

Aelinor frowned at the tattoo, rubbing at it a bit, and looked back out at the crystalline mountains with a sigh.

"You have been blessed with awareness that makes you care? What kind of awareness?"

"Usually," The Emperor begins. "When Narrators unlock their power, they become  and unaware of their actions and consequences." He shakes his head solemnly. "They think they are above others, not that they aren't, but they have no compassion left, no 'awareness' as I have previously stated."

"It makes them dangerous." He explains. "That is what I mean by, I was blessed with awareness. It is what makes me Different."

When did we ever talk about that? I remember Hacob's lawsuit, but I wasn't involved with that.

"I see. So you are blessed with compassion by your gods. Interesting." The traveler frowns. "I'll think about it. In any case, you answered my question, so I'll answer yours. What do you want to know about the Dreamsmith?"

I'm sure I remember it from somewhere, some argument we or me and Hacob had. It's all the same.

“In any way? Certainly.” The traveler’s grey eyes meet the Emperor’s. “Will he fight for you? Doubtful. You could visit him yourself if you have need of a weapon, but be prepared to face Omen’s trials.”

"And what would that letter say perhaps?" The Emperor says in your head.

“You really don’t like go-betweens, do you? Although in this case that’s justified, as I laced the letter with Vonn Neumann machines. If you’d like to make friendly assassination attempts a tradition, I can look for something that kills you with telepathy.” He shrugs. “Regardless, the letter laid out how Narraters are actually of chaotic creation, meaning you’d need a good reason to get me to fight the Maelstrom or whatever. Also was going to note that being rude is rude, as is trying to control another’s reactions to something by writing what they do - it’s known as godmodding, and is a common problem. But yeah, a serous character who acts slightly like a jerk should not be your face character, at least not here. It doesn’t match in tone, although villains and antiheroes do have a place here.”

Close your eyes, the doctor instructed.

 

Bacon very nearly said a bad word.

Ex-Narrators are treated the same as any normal character. Which is to say, very rarely allowed to leave.

Let's go with the consensus

So this is the contaminant within you.

Bacon showed up. "Psst," he whispered to Tam. "What're we doing?"

@Ookla the Inconclusive

 

 

Cricket did so.

I honestly don't understand why it's your place to chastise me in such a manner. If you want to complain of such things, you should've just PM'd me. Not cool man. You don't post such a passive aggressive message in front of everyone using your characters to do such things. Go find some other five year-old to complain to. You wanted a passive aggressive fight and you got one. Congratulations.

Also I would like to point out that me and @Ookla The Dragonslayer both made an agreement through Private Message of what was to happen. I was simply speaking for the both of us so we both didn't have to. You shouldn't be throwing out accusations like that. Be curious not critical (Pretty funny considering what your name is currently).

Whoa, hey guys.

Let's chill out a little, yeah?

No one needs to insult the other, and no one needs to call names. If there's a problem, we can figure it out while still acting respectful towards the other person.

Yes?

Well, it’s not as if I haven’t done something similar…

Me and Platypus had a looooong debate a while back over me gmodding his character using Madness. (Sorry about that) [not implying that you were gmodding, just sharing a slightly similar argument I was in…]

Madness… was taken down a notch.

It's alright- I get it. Nobody likes being insulted, and nobody likes to be told that something they're doing is wrong. Tensions rise easily, especially online when the confrontation is less direct and not in person.

That being said, it would do you both good to be more mindful of the other person in the future, rather than jumping to conclusions, calling names, or denouncing what they're saying/doing in a disrespectful manner.

Speaking of which, I hope I am not denouncing anyone. This isn't meant to insult or chastise either of you; I simply don't want a fight of any kind to occur, and I don't want to see anyone besmirched in any way. Things happen, and we're only human, but we can do better than that.
