Symbol bowed deeply. 

"Oooh! Look, Cricket--- food!" Rose brightened a lot. 

Rose decided she must be hallucinating. 

-

Symbol gasped and dropped to her knees to scoop him up, then Narrated him better. 

"Sheldon, are you all right?" 

-

Xanther seems to be deluded, the first page read. He seems to believe he's an Author, but he displays signs of being a Narrator. Or perhaps he merely has the ability to teleport. He seems to believe he's in charge of the second layer of Nullite caverns

The first page ended there. 

-

"Is too," she mumbled. 

She teleported to all of the voids at once and began to fill them up with herself, searching for anything. 

 

Ahh, I understand the alloy a lot better now. 

She laughed. "You have quite the flair!" She did her best to keep up, then doubled herself as well. The music sped up and the rhythm shifted, becoming a ragtime. 

Beosta stared at him. 

"YES. SOBER. THEN MORE COLA," Beosta shouted. 

Bacon doubled again. Then again. Then again. Some of his clones pulled out instruments and began to play (still dancing, of course). And the music just kept getting faster.

Taeidin takes some stones and places them in a star on the ground. 

"Well, that's interesting," he said musingly. 

"What?"

Sorry! I couldn't control that! I'll get you another one though if you help her . . . ? he asked hopefully.

Ten more waddled by, and a baby one fell from the ceiling onto her head.

He shook his little head to clear it, then chirped up at her happily. He didn't really seem to notice that the pain was gone. It was only his second day of life, though, so that was understandable.

-

She flipped to the next page.

-

He couldn't help but smile at that.

He put and arm around her shoulder and pulled her close.

Rose yelped and rubbed her head.

She held him close to her chest. He was really cute, she had to admit. 

-

and it's uncertain how long he's been there. The citizens don't seem to fear him, so perhaps the deeper caverns have destigmatized Narrators, at least to some extent. Needs further study. 

Theories

-Somehow engineered the Nullite race

-Created their lore 

-Took over the colony later (unlikely outcome--- the caves seem to be incredibly well hidden 

-Born Narrator as one of the Nullite people (whatever they're called--- needs further study) and rejected the tattoos in favor of his power 

-

"Yes more cola," she mumbled, leaning against his shoulder. She yawned, then started to snore.

He snuggled up to her, basking in her warmth.

He smiled and leaned his head against hers.

This wasn't so bad, really.

Could you explain what just happened? I still don't understand.

Well... I'm planing to only summon him for a small amount of time, Shaping makes the luxite easier to mold and to test (so by the time he summons it, he will have the right luxite cage) and there is a way to make a mordite weapon unable to be controlled by the Witherlord (Luxite-Mordite, it's mordite, but it has the uncontrollable luxite). At least, that should be how it works

do you remember the shard that was following tam and broke Rebus' Plotblade? Platypus just created that (50 pages before he showed up). It was a flashback. He used specific amounts of Nullite, Mordite, and a Plotblade to create something very close to pure Dark.

Luxite is definitely not uncontrollable. Perhaps the Witherlord couldn't control an alloy, but I think he probably could honestly. do you have a plan to banish him? I'm not worried about him molding the cage, I'm worried about him getting it right. he gets one chance.

Bacon grinned. Then he grinned again. So there were two of him now.

The two moved in perfect sync as they danced with Lady Bug, gradually getting faster and faster as they did so.

Bacon waved back. "Greetings, Cricket! How have you been since I saw you last? Did you defeat your archnemesis and avenge all those poor innocent people?"

Alright then. If I might make a request, could you retrieve Narrator Xinoehp from the past? He would be the closest, chronologically speaking.

Bacon stood with his arms folded, looking expectantly at Beosta.

AH HA! Will I finally get to see Xinoehp?

1 hour ago, CoderDrag0n8 said:

Hey, what are plotblades made out of? Are they made from Luxite-Mordite alloy? I guess I could. Maybe...

1 hour ago, TwinStorm said:

pieces of Plot's soul I think

Correct! You could think of it as a God Metal from the cosmere with Plot as the shard, or compare it to a Narrationblade. They're pretty similar.

As for what Plot's soul is, I think we established that it is basically the combination of the Four Axes (Light, Dark, Order, Chaos) all compiled into one.

Whose Plot?

*Plot was a character a long time ago. He died. He was the physical embodiment of the idea of plot

59 minutes ago, Through The Living Glass said:

But the ash blew away in the wind.

And no, it was not a Narrator.

. . . I kinda wanna see that

Also, who plays as the Witherlord?

Shoe shrugged helplessly.

Oh! Wait! You could make her sober again?

He do be dead

I promise you, you do not. It would take a lot to prevent the Thread (and then everything else) from being destroyed.

I think Nameless has, I bet Xino has, Zephrun might've?

They were not necessarily all Voids. That one specifically had been, but there were other reasons someone couldn't feel a part of the Thread. Eof's house, for example, was quite tricky to feel. The Wall couldn't be felt. Voids couldn't be felt. Many things could cause that. Even so, each Void she tried to fill up refused to yield. It took Creation to remove the Void, and duplication didn't count.

He chirped and nibbled at her ear, then wiggled under her dress sleeve until only his head and the tips of his front flippers were poking out. He rested his head on her shoulder and started to fall asleep again.

-

Tam narrowed her eyes.

. . . Others? We should probably talk to Symbol. Also, this library is the biggest waste of paper I've ever heard of.

She flipped through a few more pages to make sure there was nothing else, then put the book back and picked up the one about Nemesis.

Because that's not threatening at all.

Nemesis

Real name unknown. Native abilities to summon fire by using souls as fuel, which he keeps in beads around his neck. Self-declared nemesis of a Fate named Corysande and a Drus named Holt. Seems a little lost without a plot since they vanished into the Underworld.

Bacon raised an eyebrow, then a chorus of hundreds of tap-dancing chickens began to serenade Lady Bug with poems to her magnificence written in Bacon Code. (Which was like Morse Code, but named after Bacon instead.)
