Ok @Ashkaloda I wanna continue this so while Hawks and Nameless are off doing their thing...

Dark Cep coughs violently for a few seconds, then abruptly stops. He walks over to Cep, Taeidin, and the Father. "Hello, Father," he says, nodding. "Hello, me." Then he turns to Taeidin. "And you. I've seen some of you, but until recently I've been...trapped. Tell me, why are you journeying with me?"

Ashkaloda is correct, at least as far as I know. Prismite can be used to fuel Narration (and other magic), so if Rebus could successfully steal some of Erryin’s he would get some extra power. 

Hm ok luckily (thank the gods) erryins whole going insane snd murderous got stopped by nameless so they should officially be back in business on that end of the market.

The extractor shuddered, pulling inwards as the forcefield interfered with its operation. Then it stabilized, the operating system attempting to dissolve the force field itself for Chaotic Light. 

erryin peaked open their eyes. Then panickedly looked sriund. "What the hell!??!"

“Ah - you can talk,” Rebus said, his crown disappearing from his head as a halberd - his preferred form for Antagonist when it needed to be a weapon - appeared in his hands and intercepted the dagger strike. He had become oddly chipper, considering all that he had just done. “I’m not certain I ever determined the Bane of Calamity; I simply waited for it to exhaust itself as I  monologued dramatically about how I was better at destroying things.” 

The skeleton waved his hand and a void appeared in the air. The halberd tugged, pulled into the void. Everything inanimate in the vicinity began to float towards the hole, getting sucked in.

"Monologues are... childish." The skeleton hissed. He slid his leg, aiming to trip Rebus, his dagger swinging in simultaneously to... incapacitate him.

"You've seen me when?"

"I have been able to catch occasional glimpses of what the other pieces of me are doing. You seem to have interacted with several of them, given how often I've seen you in those glimpses."

“We’ve… we’ve contracted some sort of disease. It seems to take some power from the Thread. It is not… it isn’t natural. I thought that the Ennullers would be best to handle this issue.”

13 hours ago, Hawks said:

Asher watches the stranger carefully. Eyes narrows and hand on the hilt of their sword. 

The figure examines them carefully. "I see. Indeed, you do appear to have contracted some sort of disease. And you're right. An Enuller is the perfect person to handle this issue." He threw back his cloak, revealing himself to be an average-looking man with grey hair and brown eyes holding a clipboard. He pulled out a pen with a flourish. "It is fortunate that you've come to me: a fully trained Enuller stand-in. When did your symptoms first start?"

12 hours ago, Dragonheir said:

TmwllR smiled, though he looked a little skeptical. “I hope I can help, but I’ve been known to attach strings to everything I can get away with. If even the most mundane piece of my technology contains a remote self-destruct, who knows what safeguards I put into a clone of myself.” 

"I'm sure he did, but given that Rebus is already practically omniscient, omnipotent et cetera in regards to me and my rebellion, I don't see how having a piece of him could make my situation any worse."

12 hours ago, Dragonheir said:

Rebus didn’t have anything else to say, though he did wonder if Editor Nameless was a variant of Nameless or NameIess. He also noted that the false Dreamsmith was still in limbo, having told the real Dreamsmith who he had made items for (Cricket, Rose, and “my boss”, for reference). 

Editor Nameless was an avatar of Nameless, of course.

"So, Cricket has received a weapon from 'me'?" The Dreamsmith frowned. "I shall have to make certain your work is up to standard." With a wave of his hand he pulled a hammer from thin air. "Forge something for me." He tossed the hammer to the fake Dreamsmith.

12 hours ago, Dragonheir said:

“Heir is both central and moderately burned out - he used to have so many other characters, but I’ve slowly taken over and he’s slowly run out of free time. We should probably end this conversation, if NameIess is at risk of burnout because of it.” 

"My Author isn't in danger of burning out because of this conversation. He is busy, but there are many things he wishes to do in TLT. Concluding my and the traveler's storyline, perhaps bringing Moni back into play, the Witherlord plotline, and there's something involving that crown of yours and the Dreamsmith he's wanted to do for a while.

The traveler walked up to Dark Cep, the Father, Cep, and Taeidin. "Hey. I think Erryin's left the Dreamscape. Are any of you going to chase after him?"

Ack!

Dark Cep starts. "How did that escape my notice...where have they gone?"

Also @Sherma Main I started the thing...do I simply wait for the moment, or is there more to further it?

[NameIess]

Just now, Kansas Stormcursed said:

"How should I know? I'm practically powerless. I was going to ask anyone chasing Erryin for a ride out of this place, actually."

"Oh, I can easily offer that." Dark Cep waves his hand, and a smoky doorway appears nearby. "There you go."

[NameIess]

Just now, Kansas Stormcursed said:

"Oh, I can easily offer that." Dark Cep waves his hand, and a smoky doorway appears nearby. "There you go."

The traveler examined the doorway, but made no move to go through it. "Somehow I find myself mistrusting that door."

The traveler raised an eyebrow. "Forgive me for not immediately trusting the guy trying to convince Erryin to become a mass murderer."

"Keeper of balance. But anyway, I understand your hesitation. What would I gain, though, by harming or tricking you? Erryin can be of some use to the universe. I know not your abilities, nor what use you could be."

Asher thought, “after we came across a skeleton dude who was like dying and then he like poofed away.”

Btw they left cause rebus started trying to snatch their power so everything but the one with bacon got whippped back to erryin to make them stronger.

Danke

Dark Cep nods. "Erryin will be fine for the moment. They know their purpose."

“I would accept the slowing, though Keys should be able to go without it if desired.” Rebus put on his helmet, ensuring it sealed properly. Once the others did the same he smiled. “We should be ready now - Keys, if you would?” 
Welcome back, by the way - it’s good to see you! 

She slowed his thoughts and Keys rolled her eyes at both of them, drew a shape in the air, and there they were. 

And yes, they were indeed underwater. 

Thanks 

sorry I've been gone a while

"Ah, I see. I've been travelling with Cep to help him restore his memories. For which killing the Father would make the task much harder, lacking other sources of information." He shoots Dark Cep a quizzical glance before continuing. "I find myself in a state where I cannot discern Erryin's new location."

“Just a few minutes ago. We had encountered a man, not made of organic material, who was extremely sick. The man then died to the sickness. Neither he nor us should have been able to get sick.”

Prolly… You said you wanted Cep to be involved in the dream team, tho? Rn, Pyk, Asher, and an unnamed Ennuller are making up that team.

Yeah. Just kinda tell me where to put him. Also, are you having the sick ones or not-sick ones on the team?
