"Ah, right, I'll do that now."

Well . . . what about them, then? What do you mean?

He smiled at her and got on the train.

I wonder where this goes.

She nodded and hugged Haly again.

hmmm . . .

What if we just show you the magic systems?

A man suddenly appeared next to him.

"Hello. I'm Utility. Who are you?" he asked, knowing full-well the man's name was Muin.

"Hello. I can read your thoughts, you know. I know full well that you know my name is Muin." Muin says

No please just explain I learn best through reading a google doc.

"What's your purpose here?" Utility tried.

"What's your purpose here?" Utility tried.

"You know, I though you would be able to answer that. To be completly candid, I just woke up, and my entire memories are just that my name is Muin and I am Shifter from Zion, and am partially from Nalthis, but don't consider myself like that. So, No, I have no idea what my purpose is here, nor do I know why I am here." Muin says

Muinomednap (or Muin) appears. He is an incredibly powerful Shifter from Zion and Nalthis. Note: If you want to know more about shifting and other magic systems I might bring up, check out my references blog.

You'll learn as we go. There's... a lot

I dunno... it's just been so quiet lately. I miss Cricket.

"Me too." She sat down on one of the cozy seats, pulling him down next to her.

Haly hugged her back.

"I j-" Muin cut off strangely. He fell to the ground. His eyes became a dark red. Then they burst into flames. He started screaming.

She sighed.

There's gotta be something we can do. We could go help someone or something . . .

He smiled at her.

. . . Hopefully nowhere dangerous.

“Not IcedOutPenguin. My character, Ice.”

”What kind of character are you hoping for?”

Nemesis wished he knew how to find a tropical beach. 

“Ah. I had just assumed, since we were talking about recruiting, that IcedOutPenguin had played briefly and then disappeared. I can help run that - maybe the Inventor guy or the Rebus clone Symbol has can be involved.” 
“I don’t especially need to care - somebody who wants something, which they preferably don’t actually need, and is willing to give up something metaphorically theirs in exchange for it.” 
The evil spirit switched from fuming to a malevolent grin, as such: >:). It knew exactly where there was a beach, and it could get some revenge of its killer there.

Xino has some blogs about it, which are still mostly up-to-date: 

Twinstorm also registered a fandom wiki for us, though I’m not sure if anybody has done anything with it yet. Once we get to that, that can be an information source as well.

Hmm. I decided to read the privacy policy due to mod bagels, but then I got distracted. If there’s a month wait since signup, I should do that soon. 
Heir clapped. “Great job! I’m not really in any random chatting threads, but maybe I’ll going some and do some recruiting myself. Or simply welcome and retain those you recruit.”

No no no I don't have access to them on this computer is what I mean

The extinguishing did nothing. The flames immediatly rised up again

Hold on, I'm wait for you to approve my magic system. If that doesn't work, I need time to make a new one. Give Muin a moment.

Rebus considered helping, but didn’t. 
You don’t actually need approval from people - you’re not allowed to directly say what someone else’s character does (extras are fine, though), and that’s effectively the only rule. There are people who can do literally anything (who typically tie if they fight each other, or win through intelligence rather than sheer power), people who can stop literally anything from happening (who beat the former because they can cancel out those powers and make people simply stop existing, though they have rules they need to follow), and materials that can kill immortals and even gods, so even as strong as Shifting is, it’s not at the highest level of magic in the Thread. That being said, high power level characters typically end up doing things with other highly powerful characters, so a less powerful character would be able to have different stories (of course you can play several in each tier, and if you have a way not to overshadow people, you can have someone effectively omnipotent not be OP.)
