Bat felt incredibly relieved to see her. “Tam! You were gone forever… is it safe?”

She blushed.

"Er- right . . . I . . . may or may not have taken care of everything already-" she said quickly, a sheepish look on her face.

"Ruia's been taken care of, though, and I asked Rebus to-" she yelped as Shoe wrapped his arms around her from behind and pulled her into a big hug.

Hey, Tam, he said gently.

"Oh, Shoe! Hey! You surprised me," she laughed.

Are you okay?

"Oh . . . yeah, I'm- I'm fine. Sorry for leaving like that . . . I probably worried you, didn't-"

No, Tam. I meant . . . well, I meant mentally.

She paled.

Are you doing alright? he asked when she didn't answer.

She looked at Bat, eyes wide and panicked.

What . . . what did you tell them? she asked Bat.

Tam? Shoe asked again.

His face burned, and he looked away. I… I’m sorry, I just… really felt like he should know. I’m sorry.

She smiled back, grateful. “And… I don’t suppose I could get Beginnings back?” 

Symbol smiled and waved them off.

Bat felt incredibly relieved to see her. “Tam! You were gone forever… is it safe?”

He handed it back. "Beginnings may be one of the most useful Plotblades out there, though also perhaps the most redundant."

She was mildly surprised to get it back so easily. “Thank you. I appreciate it.”

"I've been told possessing more than two Plotblades is a problem, somehow. And I do trust you with the blade."

“No… no. It’s not. It’s okay.” She hunkered down in her hoodie.

She smiled before looking down at her feet. 

Starlight turned toward her, looking her in the eyes. "You okay?" he whispered

She stared at him.

Tam? Shoe said softly.

She tore out of his grasp with a growl.

"I'm FINE. I don't know what Bat told you, but I'm fine."

Shoe stepped after her. Tam, we just want to help-

"I don't NEED HELP," she cried. "Just leave me alone!"

She turned invisible to escape the look he was giving her.

“I won’t disappoint,” she promised. “So. What’s your plan? Current goal? Whatever?”

“She’ll be okay,” Bat said quietly. “She’s strong. She’ll… she’ll be okay.”

But would she still let him help her? 

He should have just asked her to tell him instead. 

He squeezed his bag’s strap, feeling deeply guilty. 

I’m sorry. I’m really sorry, Tam… I just… he’s your brother. If anyone should be helping, it’s him, right? I… I’m sorry.

"It's okay, Five. People get sad sometimes. Everyone has those times, and it's never really your fault." he said warmly

Violet looked up and back at Ria. "He seems... very protective of her. Has he been like this since you found him?" she whispered

“Hm yeah.” The voic changes adn the light around her had gone back to blue gold. “And who are you?”

 

"Most people just call me the Priest." The Priest shrugged. "I will admit that I'm not much of an exorcist. I prefer a good wedding."

He then stood in silence, watching Pyk and Asher's conversation with increasing unease. "Have you two known each other long?" @SpiritOfWrath

"Good. Will this continue to work? It could make a good diversion." Rebel walked towards that back room. 

It will work only on those with particularly weak wills, or who feel a particularly strong desire for my power.

1 hour ago, Dragonheir said:

"Antagonist, you mean? This Blade is Mastermind combined with Flair, or at least could be split into those two pieces - it doesn't necessarily indicate a specific moral character beyond manipulative."

While that may be true, the Magnificent Bastard trope is normally associated with villains. I'd say that you have a decent chance at claiming the Plotblade of Antagonist. If you wanted to.

"Wait, that's your Plotblade?" Balitan's voice held a measure of incredulity. "Magnificent Bastard? Really?" He looked like he was beginning to wonder what he'd gotten himself into.

I told you that IN CONFIDENCE, BAT! IN CONFIDENCE! she screeched in his head.

WHY- her voice broke.

Why would you tell them . . .

She smiled a little. 

Then she took a deep breath and looked around the car to make sure nobody was paying attention. 

“My name is… my name is Whitney,” she whispered. “Please, don’t tell anyone.”

He flinched. 

I’m just… I don’t want anything to happen to you because… because I couldn’t be good enough, he whispered. Because I… wasn’t enough.

Ok 1. If he hears that convo it’s 90 percent thoughts. Cause he can hear her mind. And 2. We don’t ask about that!

that statement causes Asher to push her head further into her hands. 

They met after the withergeist thing in the forest. So however long it’s been since that.

She took a couple deep breaths, but didn't reply.

His eyes widened. "Y-y-y-you told me?" he stammered in shock. "Th-thank you, Five." he said, tears forming

"Ria?" Violet spouted, snapping her fingers to try to get her attention

"Alright. We want a city, right?"

"I do, yes. I probably could have even before the Plotblade, though it certainly makes it easier. It'd paint a target on my back, and I don't especially have any antagonistic things I want to do." 

"It is, yes. Perhaps you should be wondering that, though I do legitimately like both of you and want your help."

"Oh dear," the Priest murmured. "That's not good at all."

He can't hear their thoughts, but he can feel the romance in the air. He's got a sixth sense.

Yes, a city. Preferably one in danger from some threat. Always easier to offer power in the face of a threat.

Don't worry. I like you too, and have no intention of leaving. Nameless' blurry form smiled. Of all the new generation of Narrators I've seen, you come closest to the heights of the old.

"I... guess that's alright."
