"He has marbles?"

Marbles rained down on his head.

Taeidin screamed and ran for cover under one of the nearby buildings.

He nodded, pretending to understand what that meant.

Shoe found that . . . really, really creepy.

Um . . . hey. So . . . upgrades? Fighting?

Wait, that's not Tam?  There was a record scratch, and time rewound. "Yes?" Rebus asked. "Here, I'll teleport you two into arenas. You'll be close enough to think to each other, but it's far easier to test you two individually - though at some point I will see what you can do together."

Snow relaxed. "Daddy showed me how to wind my music box. Are you a music box?" 

Whitlock's Author believed the same, but just in case. Mr. Whitlock examined the scenery, humming pleasantly to himself. 

Her Author promised to get to writing her when she had a spare moment. Perhaps and hopefully this evening.

Rose and Beosta both would have disliked having to wait, but their Author didn't, and so she made sure they did not know they were waiting. 

Lady Bug only laughed. You can't kill a Narrator like me. I could just vanish. Being a piece of a god, I could return to Lytikyria as well. There would be nothing you can do. Threats will get you nowhere. 

Eep, no pressure  I'd love to try, I think. Searching "hiking" should bring up some descriptions of him in the Thread, but I'll ask you for one if I can't find one. I'll let you know when/if I start sketching (no promises; I've learned to say that because I'm flaky )

"I'm the piece in the box that has the music!" 

Rebus's Author still hadn't gotten around to writing how Rebus's experiments were going. That would change soon, hopefully. 

It's almost as though Heir and Haly were running a half-dozen plots at once!  

Rebus made this face at his Author: , but this did not make Heir change his mind about catching up in TLT, getting that Secret Wars character sheet up, and then going to bed. 

I've been experimenting, and there is always Chaotic Darkness. Or simply messing up every plotline you start until you are abandoned and forgotten. But I think this really was what Symbol wanted, even before - I would give up a copy of myself, to do with what you wish, if you would let me be with her. 

Yeah, if you don't have time or don't feel like you can (I know I certainly shut down everything I try writing at times), that's completely fine - basically do it if you think it'd be fun, otherwise don't. But the drawing is, as I said, really good.

Cep looked up at the sky, utterly bewildered. "Where'd that come from, then?" He saunters over to Taeidin. "Anyhoo, ah believe she's askin' yeh if ah've lost mah sanity. Ta most people, hearin' voices means the sanity is gone."

Nope

Still Heir Rebus

Um . . . apart? Okay . . .

You okay with that? he asked Beosta. @Bird Furious

Tam set the pinecone down and cupped her hands around Spren.

Promise.

-

Except it hadn't, and there was now frosting in her hair.

Sheldon poked his head out and chirped at her to get her attention.

"Huh. Alright."

He took a bite of one.

Spren landed in her hands. She was cool to the touch, but not cold. 

Okay, she whispered. Thank you.

Except it had. 

Symbol smiled down at him. "Hi, Sheldon."

"Do you have a soul?" 

Hopefully. A fellow Author would like to interject that there was no shame in low-effort summaries, as a long time succumber to such tactics. 

ALMOST. IT WAS ALMOST LIKE THAT. VERY CLOSE TO MAYBE BEING LIKE THAT>
*sobbing*

You got smth to say, lil Rebus man? ^_-

I won't be forgotten, she assured him. Plotline or no. I may slumber, but I am not so insecure as to let that scare me. 

I think it'll bee fun. We'll see if it happens. And don't judge me if it's awful cuz your expectations are prolly wayyyy too high. Cuz I don't draw well generally. But thanks

Symbol smiled down at him. "Hi, Sheldon." 

Tam smiled and ran her thumb over Spren's . . . surface? Skin? Something like that.

Yeah.

Hmph.

Frosting appeared in her hair anyway.

He was holding a silvery little shell in his beak.

Whatever happened to that--- oop, nevermind. Whatever happened to that villain you were making?

Symbol was confused by this. 

She smiled at Sheldon. "That's so pretty."

Why's it still italicized?

He's still there

Things will ramp up eventually but for now it's reeeeeeally spaced out :3

Tam raised an eyebrow.

What?

-

Teehee.

He stretched his head out towards her.

"Yer one strange person, ah gotta say. Yeh just wondered why we don't have an extra mind, which suggests that yeh have more than one."

The man turned away from her.

"Partygoers," he announced, his voice not amplified in any way. "The End approaches. Ere long, all will be brought to dust."

He opened his hand, and a clutch of withergeists hissed into the air.

@Through The Living Glass @Bird Furious @Dragonheir @TwinStorm

Sequence gasped, stumbling backwards for a moment before hastily regaining her footing and summoning Conflict, who took the form of a long, crooked, wooden staff with a brilliantly shining orb entangled in the roots at the top.
"Oh, come on! These parties are supposed to be peaceful!"

"Pity. I could certainly- Oh my. Yes, indeed." Bacon peered at the malevolent spirits, who were seeking out partygoers to harass. "Someone should probably take care of those."

"You seem awfully calm about it!"

16 hours ago, Dragonheir said:

Rebus, wearing sleek armor (greyscale color blocks, with purple tron lines) walked up to Sequence. He was smiling, but not nicely. 

“Well, you become more of a squirrel than I would, I expect.” 
Rebus walked forwards. “You are meddling in forces few understand, and fewer should be messing with. Unfortunately for you, so have I.” He put out his hand, and with a bang of displaced air summoned a torch - patches of light and darkness dancing across the “flame”. 

"Oh, hi Rebus! I like your armor, by the way." Sequence smiled sweetly.
"But um, perhaps we could talk after these... creatures are dealt with?"
