Thanks," said Bacon, accepting his with a nod. "So, how did you become corporeal anyhow?"

Just not.. well live."

The party's been going on!

Bacon approached Symbol. "Do you know a Narrator named Glass?"

@Bird Furious

Symbol tilted her head. 

“I think you’re referring to the Author, @Through The Living Glass. She has a penchant for meddling.”

Xanther snorted and let out several guffaws. “I’ll keep some secrets!”

-

“Sure.” She beamed. 

-

Good for him. 

Not really, since it seemed apparent that she wasn’t capable of finding anything. 

The universe seemed to shrug. Eof's house was notoriously hard to get into while he wasn't there.

It crumbled to ash.

-

Hmm. Well, let me know if you find anything else out.

-

Shoe smiled and put his arm around her shoulders.

-

Hehe.

Rose's clothing transformed into a very pretty dress that fit her well and made her look really good. What that looks like, I don't know, but it happened. @TwinStorm

Utility stepped through without hesitation, then waited for the others on the opposite side.

The music was soft, and the crystals slowly rotated, throwing beautiful light across the ballroom. 

Rose put her hand on his shoulder. 

Symbol rolled her eyes. "You're a Narrator. Why don't you do your own research?" 

-

She kissed his cheek. "Let's go exploring." 

-

Rose stiffened, then relaxed. 

Wow. This deep shade of red looked really pretty. 

-

He stepped into a large, open cavey system. It was almost like being in a sponge--- a black sponge glowing red with light, especially from down below. Red veins ran through the sponge, but only upon close inspection. 

Except at his feet. The veins of red at his feet bulged, glowing. 

Cricket stared for a moment, dumbstruck. She looked . . . gorgeous. He shook himself out of it, however, and began to dance, slowly at first, but gaining speed.

"I have no idea! It's mostly my memories that suffered. You see, I dreamed that I was an ordinary boring person living an ordinary boring life. It was awful!"

The light formed a giant hologram of Lady Bug in a statuesque pose.

Bacon shot Glass a suspicious look while slowly reaching for another drink. "Who do you think you are?" He challenged. "No, really, who are you? Have we met?"

"Not relevant! That sounds extremely relevant! I guess unless it wasn't that difficult to get back. Which, if it was Narrated back, I suppose it wouldn't be. Say, you wouldn't be interested in new eyes, would you?"

 

"What? I mean . . . it'd be fine, I guess."

“Sure.” She beamed.

. . . Okay.

He smiled and helped her into the boat after he himself got in.

2 hours ago, THE DEMON said:

“Okay…”

He nodded.

"We're safe here. As soon as the party ends -or you leave- you'll probably get thrust into danger of some sort."

"So you're independent as well as being corporeal? No being tied to Asher or anything?"

5 hours ago, Bird Furious said:

Symbol tilted her head. 

“I think you’re referring to the Author, @Through The Living Glass. She has a penchant for meddling.”

"Oh," said Bacon. "Well then." He blinked. "Wait, is she allowed to do that?"

"Well, I made a cool new set! Well, Tomato did, I suppose. I just designed the outer casing, really." Bacon proceeded to hover the eyeballs in question in midair. They were made of bacon.

"These will show you the exact role of any character! Protagonist, Dark Lord, sidekick, love interest, you name it!"

"yup. Life is normal again. Strange after those years. We have the habit of following her around still just in case she needs us. Just one call away. Granted we can hear whoever from heaven. Or in cades case, what we call the Middle."

"I am now."

And then she was gone again, ne'er to return . . . probably.

Indeed, I do. 

He folded his arms. “I’ll be quite frank. I don’t want you to know anything about me. But I feel you may be helpful to me.”

-

She pushed the boat off, keeping tight hold of the oars for later. 

36 minutes ago, xinoehp512 said:"Oh," said Bacon. "Well then." He blinked. "Wait, is she allowed to do that?"

She never asked, so we don’t really know. 

8 minutes ago, Through The Living Glass said:

"I am now."

And then she was gone again, ne'er to return . . . probably.

Everyone knew that was a lie.

She waited.

-

He took the oars from her and rowed them a little further out into the lake, as the boat slowed fairly quickly after Beosta pushed off.

I kinda feel like we were set up for this, y'know?

He shrugged.

Not that I mind. It's . . . nice.

Hence the "probably."

He waited longer.

In stillness, his joviality melted like ice. He had a more stern gaze than she’d realized. It made one question whether he was all that silly in the first place. 

-

She nodded and leaned on his shoulder. Fireflies danced around.

She didn't react and waited some more.

If he didn't say anything soon, she was just going to leave.

He smiled and leaned his head against hers.

It's beautiful out here.

A small half- smile cracked his face. 

“Go, then. Keep avoiding plotlines like the plague until you fade into pointless obscurity. Better for me. I’ll find somebody else. Someone more… stable.”

Bat stared at him, processing. 

-

“It is,” she agreed. “It’s really pretty.”

She raised an eyebrow at him.

Well, thanks for nothing. We have better things to be doing, thank you very much.

She grabbed Bat's hand and started down the stairs.

He sighed and wrapped an arm around her shoulder.

He sighed and wrapped an arm around her shoulder.

“Bat,” Xanther called, sounding completely unworried. 

Bat didn’t react. 

A small smile curled his lips upward, visible or not. “Quite the Protagonist, I see.”

Bat stopped on the stairs.

-

It was quiet for several minutes.

”Do you ever think about… where we go from here?”

Tam tugged on his hand, urging him forwards.

Don't pay attention do him. He's just trying to manipulate you.

-

. . . What do you mean?

Just now, Through The Living Glass said:

He didn’t let her. 

But he’s right, Tam.

”You know what you have to do,” Xanther said softly. 

“No,” Bat said sharply. “No. I don’t know what you’re talking about.” He yanked away from Tam and went back up the stairs. “You want something from me.” 

“I do. A map.”

”Well, I don’t have a map.” 

Xanther’s mouth twitched. “Oh, Bat… very well. You don’t have a map. But you could get me one, wirh much ease. Get me a map, and I’ll explain everything. Everything, at least, that you don’t already understand.” 

Bat took a shuddering breath, then glanced at Tam. 

-

“I mean… never mind.”

Everyone knew that was a lie. 

"Totally unfair," grumbled Bacon. "At least if you don't bother Fate he doesn't bother you. How am I supposed to enjoy the wonders of cherry cola if an Author can drop in at any time and steal it?"

2 hours ago, TwinStorm said:

He nodded. "Yeah. Of course." he said quietly.

"Whatever do you mean?" asked Bacon quizzically.

Tam was absolutely bewildered.

Bat . . . what's he talking about?

-

A concerned look crossed his face.

. . . Is something wrong?

“I don’t know,” he replied aloud.

Xanther leaned forward, not taking note of when Bat flinched. “But you could,” he whispered. “You know you could.” 

-

She shrugged. “I just… feel like we should have a plan.”

-

Maybe he shouldn’t have to ask nicely?

Tam's eyes narrowed.

Bat, what's going on?

-

Ah. No, I agree, it's just . . . I don't know where to go from here, y'know? he admitted.

-

But maybe I want to mess with people.
