He grinned again.

I'd like that.

-

"I . . ." She was a little surprised by his reaction.

"It does?"

“Can I kiss you?” She whispered. 

—

“It does. It really, really does.” He squeezed her hands, but hesitated to let go. “So please let me know if you want more worms, okay? —And you should get yourself a nice, warm coat.”

Just now, Halcyon The Only said:

“Can I kiss you?” She whispered. 

—

“It does. It really, really does.” He squeezed her hands, but hesitated to let go. “So please let me know if you want more worms, okay? —And you should get yourself a nice, warm coat.”

He stared at her for a second, then nodded, leaning a little closer.

Yes.

-

She snorted a laugh and put a hand over her mouth.

"That's a disgusting sentence," she laughed, a little shaky. "But . . . thank you."

G'night!

He grinned. “Of course. You’re welcome. Coat?”

 Also, apologies for the delay. 
“All aboooard!” A voice cries out, and a demonic laugh echos around the group. Duhduh. Duhduh Duhduh Duhduh. Ay ay ay ay ay ay. A loud sizzle seems to come from all around, and there is a darkening, as if a cloud has covered the sun. Duhduh Duhduh Duhduh. 

He shakes his head. “I cannot do that right now. Would a platform serve?” 

It rewrites, in fresh ketchup “wohs eht ees emoc”. 

Bacon cocked his head. "What show?"

atlas frowns. "Dan eh Cab? Whats that?"

"Oh oh this guys the best. Bacon the Bard. Say he name three times and he gets summoned. Like bacon the Bard bacon the Bard bacon the bard.... oh crap. Hehe"

 @xinoehp512

There was a long, drawn-out, confused scream as three breadmunks went flying by sideways.

Then Bacon fell on his head.

Duhduh Duhduh Duhduh. Just as the first guitar riff is about to start, a train falls from the sky with the horrendous screeching of twisted metal. Charred meat falls from the upper cars of the miraculously balanced train, grease fires breaking out in some places. Meanwhile, the Macarena begins to play, distorted and slightly too slow. 
A man - recognizable as Bacon - leaps down from the engine car, strumming a baguette with a sandal. From it, the music, including the words, is emitted. This trails off at the bread fall limp and becomes a puddle that melts through the ground. “Welllllllcome to TLT!” the man cries out, his voice careening up and down the octave. He smiles broadly, eyes wide. “I’m Meat the Minstrel, and I’ll be your host today! Rate that summoning from i to Avagandro.” 

"Uh..." said Bacon. "Plagiarism?"

“Board game. Little woodland creatures fight to the death over control of the forest.”

Bacon shuddered.

It rained crabs. Everywhere.

Not KeCil specifically

Bacon ate a crab.

One plus Platypus. I think Xino is still alive, at least. @xinoehp512, is Xino still alive?

Ennullers and Narrators are literally opposites. They are made of opposite energies. I don't think it would be possible to be both at once. My headcanon is that you would implode. 

Also, Narration is inherently Chaotic. It cannot be Ordered. It can be structured, but not Ordered. Platypus does something similar to Narration that uses Order instead of Chaos though. I've taken to calling it Creation.

Xino has passed out of existence and is unlikely to return.

21 hours ago, NameIess said:

"I think that is for the best." The Dreamsmith says sagely. 

I don't count Platypus as a Luxsprite. He would most likely be a different type of Ordered Light entity.

Balancium is a theoretical combination of the energies, but it's only very rarely (once) been achieved even in the metal form at a small scale. An attempt to combine the powers is actually what gave the Witherlord the opening to destroy the Luxsprites. So I don't think that a balanced character could exist. Narrators are powerful enough though, and there's nothing stopping them from making use of the other available fundamental essences (Nullite and Mordite), aside from the difficulty in procuring them.

A horde of rabbits sit atop a massive pile of books, scrolls, magazines, comics, paper, and even a roll or two of toilet paper. Wind? We have brought you paper.

Malevolence appeared in front of Tam, Cricket, and Bat. "Hello. Please don't kill me before I explain myself."

@Ookla the Irreplaceable@Halcyon The Only@Through The Living Glass

The paper swirled in the wind into a humanoid form. "Paper... but not the paper."

Sequence woke up, having fallen asleep for quite a while due to her injury and her author's holiday business.

How's everybody been?  Did I miss anything important?

The doctor inspected her for any signs of corruption.

"No amount of Narration could recreate what they found," Desolation said, "Just like how no man can replant the forest he tore down to make a factory. The first Narrators knew what they were doing was going to be irreversible."

“Yes… I have a few issues with your analogy, but they are irrelevant to your point. I can make images, though, just as that factory could be used to make paper for a drawing of the forest.” He begins to walk down the stairs that probably exist.

The piece of paper, having had only one enchantment on it, doesn’t answer.  He could go confront Meat himself, though. 
Would you be surprised to hear that I probably had the beginnings of a cold when I wrote that?

"That," she started, sitting on the ground nearby, "depends on a lot of things. Where Malan is, what he's doing, under what circumstances we've agreed to meet (if that's the case), etcetera."

” I would,” Bat volunteered. 

“That,” Bat agreed. “She’s right. I wanna change my answer. But I probably would.”

“There is only one way I can think of to get  Malan in the same place as Cricket and the rest of you.” Malevolence said. “And I must talk to Cricket to see if it will work.”

She seemed alright, the only sign of the wound being a dark grey bruise-like patch underneath the skin. Her behavior and demeanor seemed normal as well. 

22 hours ago, NameIess said:

"Of course." Unintelligible took Sequence's hand gently and helped her to her feet.

Sequence winced slightly, leaning on Unintelligible heavily as they made their way to the porch. "Thank you." She said, already sounding out of breath by the time they got there. She sat down in her rocking chair heavily, wincing slightly again. The sun was rising on Sequence's World, causing the snowy, crystalline mountains to glitter brilliantly.

Aelinor was leaning against the railing outside, and turned as Sequence and Unintelligible arrived. She looked Sequence up and down. "Feeling better?" She asked, glancing at Unintelligible. Sequence nodded, looking a bit queasy as she leaned forward to pour three cups of tea from the steaming kettle that was always on the porch's coffee table. 

"I vaguely remember something about a trial," Sequence said hoarsely, seemingly directed at Unintelligible. "For the Great Wizard. Did that already happen? How did it go?"

Platypus isn't ever a Luxsprite. He may have Ordered Light energy in his soul, but he is not ever a Luxsprite. Similarly, he wouldn't ever be a withergeist, just a being of Chaotic Darkness.

"Desolation has returned." Subversion said. "That makes... far too many active threats to this thread." She cocked her head. "Although, come to think of it, that might not be so bad. Antagonist might well have been easily claimed if there were only one."

Waiting on Platypus.

Oh, yes. We're tracking them. But back to your friend- they seem distressed, do they not?

“yes i did. I did that for a reason to. One author wants to thank you for helping Asher! They can now speak with emotion! Yay and ignore trauma yay! And also because i figured you and atlas here should meet. Maybe you can give a really dumbed down explanation on narrating powers cause she’s just a lil kid”

atlas was trying to look like she was intently scrutizing him but was also failing at it.
