Lillian was starting to get cold feet. 12 hours ago, Dragonheir said: “I was startled, yes, though not fearful. The qualifier of robot is unnecessary, especially considering I am technically an automaton.” "That's disappointing. You jumped really high, is that not a sign of fear? Are you like Utility? Do you even feel fear?" She frowned some more. "Tell me how I can be more scary."

Bird Furious she/her/un/important Posted March 30, 2025 Posted March 30, 2025 6 hours ago, TwinStorm said: "Why?" “You seem weirdly real.” 6 hours ago, Through The Living Glass said: He followed, albeit slowly. The water was so cold . . . He started shivering even harder. I don't know, she whispered back. I don't know, but I didn't like it at all. - "Um . . . you hit your head and passed out. Again." - He looked at her. "Y-you okay?" he managed with his jaw clenched. “I didn’t either.” He gave her a squeeze, suddenly very afraid she’d be ripped away again. - He sighed. “Of course I did. Why wouldn’t I.” - She nodded. 3 hours ago, Dragonheir said: Rebus returned the gesture, smiling. "Thank you. I know of you, and I have met your brother and Author. You'll need to pay attention if you want my help, though - are you willing to do that?" Welcome back! Rebus smiled. "Excellent. Your Author does make things more interesting - it nearly killed me when she disappeared, actually." They were in a small room, now, shiny chrome and effectively featureless. Tam gritted her teeth. He got you. Did you- the world skipped a moment, Tam snapping to a new position. -to him? Thanks! ”Gracious me. I’d apologize if I had been given any control over the situation.” She walked to a wall and ran her fingers over it. - “Wait, wh… did I what?” 3 hours ago, Dragonheir said: "Yes. As a quest, I would recommend searching for the Plotblade Motivation, which I have heard rumors of - if you bring it to me, I can give you a favor and help you further. As for a way to differentiate yourself from Cricket, you could either get a unique ability, or think through your mindset further, so you act differently. I can assist with both." “I would be glad to aid as well.” She sighed, as Stone was already gone. “I can hardly stand being beholden to this woman,” she muttered. 36 minutes ago, Through The Living Glass said: He mumbled a greeting and asked how she was feeling. "Make stuff float around, bang on some walls, whisper ominous messages . . . make their pet walk on the ceiling . . . that kind of thing." YOU SAID YOU WERE SLEEING. I SAW IT.

". . . Yeah. Here . . ." He forced himself to his feet and got a few blankets. He threw two over her, then two over the other kid. @Spark of Hope 7 hours ago, Kajsa said: “Are y-you sure?” She curled up tighter as he draped the blankets over her. 7 hours ago, Through The Living Glass said: ". . . Do you need anything else?" "Yeah." He couldn't help but wonder if this was some kind of trick. "We . . . we need food. And clothes. A-and more medicine for my daughter . . ." 7 hours ago, Kajsa said: “O-okay.” 7 hours ago, Through The Living Glass said: This was for her, too^ He nodded and collapsed on the ground again. 7 hours ago, Kajsa said: “I-I’m sorry.” Stars, he looked exhausted. 7 hours ago, Through The Living Glass said: He was. Walking downhill for hours might not sound that exhausting, but it most definitely was. ". . . Fine," he mumbled. 7 hours ago, Kajsa said: Well, in that case… She climbed back onto the mattress and did her best to go to sleep. 7 hours ago, Through The Living Glass said: Holt slept for a long, long time. 7 hours ago, Through The Living Glass said: Yay Holt woke up eventually but was still too exhausted to get up. Plus his legs hurt. . . . Like a lot. mmmm okay goodnight *hug* Hope you're doing okay Sleep well 7 hours ago, Kajsa said: Cory was still sleeping on the mattress. aww goodnightttt sleep good 5 hours ago, Through The Living Glass said: He mumbled a greeting and asked how she was feeling. "Make stuff float around, bang on some walls, whisper ominous messages . . . make their pet walk on the ceiling . . . that kind of thing." Kohei was still asleep, curled up tight in blankets but shivering nonetheless.

What you just caused is startlement - it’s fairly amusing without being mean, and is the feeling of brief alarm when the fight or flight response is triggered (for me, that causes the springs to go off) by an unexpected occurrence. Worry is another type of fear, but it’s not funny. Panic is similar, but more intense and in-the-moment. It’s also not funny. “If your goal is amusement from other’s displeasure, what you want to induce is paranoia, followed by brief startlement. You want your target to know you’re there, but not what you are or where. Move things when they aren’t looking, cause strange noises, maybe even shut the lights off. The first few times, simply make sure you aren’t seen. Then, when they get really scared, get behind them and tap them on the shoulder, try not to get punched, and then lessen the emotional effect through showing it was a prank while taking pleasure from their amplified fear.” He paused. “I probably shouldn’t have told you that; now you’re going to torment someone.” 7 hours ago, Bird Furious said: Thanks! ”Gracious me.

The wall felt like metal, but then it rippled, moving in the direction her hands were trailing and leaving behind a gap. “It isn’t your fault, and although my Author made yet another new character, enough plotlines still existed for me to interfere with a different one.” Tam continued speaking in fragments, time skipping every time she tried to explain.

I suppose you could try to bring back the existence of communal characters, but that typically destroys characterization and thus your mind.”

Two chairs, visible as nebula-like structures, formed from the ground. “This place can be almost anything I want it to be.” Just you two.

It looked rather out of place in the starscape. “Since I experience the world through text, it doesn’t matter to me most of the time - usually, it’s not mentioned. But if I were to consider what feels at home to me, I’d probably end up with something like this.” The surroundings changed again, becoming sleek and technological, sections of greyscale colors with lines of neon light moving around the edges. Quiet techno - or perhaps a related genre, as Rebus’s Author wasn’t very familiar with the distinctions - played from nowhere, just as the room was brighter than it should have been. The space was clearly doing something, but it seemed more to provide a sense of movement than to actually serve a function. Tam nodded. I think it has something to do with the powers Bat has. Then her eyes widened with alarm, and she made the bird fly into the air again. “I do still need some sort of legacy, but that option is certainly not it.”
