The sun had entirely vanished below the horizon, making way for the stars and night sky. The stars were odd and unfamiliar. Some of them were arranged in perfect, impossible spiral patterns, while other patches of the sky were entirely devoid of stars as if a black curtain was pulled over the sky. On the edges of that 'curtain', some faint black and purple clouds, impossibly far away, were visible. (I have a few pictures that I'm thinking of when I describe this, I'll have to find them later and show you all, as I fear I am struggling to accurately describe this .)

"Helping people is a very noble quest!" Sequence said with a nod. She paused. "Though I'm not so sure about 'morally grey'... I've always preferred morally green. Green is such a lovely color, don't you think? So peaceful, and full of life and kindness..."

Cool!

Ryver felt his hair fading, and what little remained of his injuries started aching again. He didn't like night time, it made so he couldn't even summon a spoon without a story, and not at all here since he had no knowledge of the stars and stories.

a young lady with longer black hair and sad eyes walked up. "Oh hello?"

Ixa (my character's name) started. A tendril of mist curled from their shoulder and wove among their hair - both were the same shade.

"I... where am I? Who are you?" Then, feeling a little lost, "Are there more of you? Too?"

“It’s not morally grey! And yes green is a good color. But its… i have a strange set of morals. Due to having hit my head five to many times as a kid.” Jack said looking at the sky. It was pretty. He wanted to fly up in it. That would feel nice.

Via held out her hand. “My name is via, and im pretty sure it’s just me. And to be honest i dont know where we are either.”

Just now, Hawks said:

Via held out her hand. “My name is via, and im pretty sure it’s just me. And to be honest i dont know where we are either.”

Ixa is visibly relieved that they aren't the only confused person present. "Okay. My name is Ixa." They grab Via's hand - in a grip more suited to strangulation than casual greeting - and shake it. 

"Why are you... here? Wherever this turns out to be. "

Wow. That’s a really good drawing - could I make it my profile picture?

“I’ve noticed,” Rebus said to Erryin’s comment on             . No tab key on mobile, so I must improvise.

There was one recent action to which the reaction had been delayed. “You…”

An Author saw Rebus.

”I am sorry.”

A mass of green materialized in front of him.

“…Where am I?”

it had to happen eventually

Sain is getting mad that Rebus killed the Scribe

“You should not be sorry.” Rebus said, grinning. Sain had appeared in a mostly dark room, one wall composed entirely of a window. It was the only light in the room, and it backlit Rebus as he looked out over the futuristic city beyond. Rebus turned smoothly around. “You are within my city.”

"Very well! Let us depart!" Lyric started walking, and began singing as he did. "Farewell mighty forest, home for years untold. I take my leave now, journeying far and wiiiiiide. With my mechanical friend I now wander, journeying far and wiiiiide!

*three hours later*

"And here we are at long last, the first of our many destinations, a mall so large and taaaall! The first stop of many, in our journey far and wiiiiiiiiiiide!"

Lyric finally stopped singing as they entered the parking lot of the mall. "Behold! The mall of wonders! The living place of the holiest of monks!"

The mall in question was a decaying ruin. the parking lot was empty and desolate, and a small forest was growing through the cracks in the concrete. The main structure was covered in vines, graffiti, and a few flickering neon signs.

Malevolence frowned. What is his game here? He recalibrated the alarms. Now the system would react to any change in the Bacon-ness, however, so there would be no impersonating Bacon to sneak into the vault, or removing Bacon from the vault in order to take the paper from him.

Over the course of the journey, Jack repeatedly considered joining in on the singing, then deciding against it. Upon seeing the state of the mall, he shivered. 
It wasn’t quite Bacon, it seemed. His hat, specifically, was flagged once the machine was recalibrated. 

On 10/27/2025 at 11:50 PM, xinoehp512 said:

"Unclear to you," said Bacon (outside the vault) smugly, sipping his bacon-flavored tea.

“In retrospect, I’m unsure why I believed Bacon would make this any faster,” mused Rebus. 

On 10/28/2025 at 12:30 PM, Sequence said:

Sequence eyed Cricket, turning to face him and stepping between Cricket and Rebus. "The line is drawn before violence. There will be no violence on my world." Her normally sweet tone was stern as she glanced back at Rebus. "From anybody." 

@TwinStorm

Sequence appeared, her image somewhat misty and fuzzy. "What's going on? Is somebody infiltrating the vault?" She asked, alarmed.

“Of course not, Sequence. Physical combat is mainly a competition of stubbornness, after all.” 
See above for what Malevolence has noticed.

Named dropped his bendalloy and encased both the generals and himself in yellow luxin. He then covered the room in both red and orange luxin, before setting it alight with sub-red. The resulting fire should burn hot enough to melt even bone.

Rebus smiled - Named had a welcome desire for efficiency.

Cricket looked Rebus directly in the eye. "After this . . . party. We meet. The place of the withergeist fight." Strange. That felt like lifetimes ago. It had barely been a year.

"No Plotblades, no nanites. No powers. Me and you. To the death."

“Your terms are impossible. If I were to lack my powers, my nanites, and my Plotblade, I would cease to be me. Would you intend to excise the Ennuller powers from your soul? And a duel to the death is likewise unreasonable, due to my hive mind. But-” Rebus looked Cricket in the eyes, vibrant orange to fading black. “-if you wish to fight me, we can create terms and stakes to the spirit of your challenge.”

Is it rebus approved? Does rebus think it looks like rebus?

erryin thinks for a solid 30 seconds. “OOOH ok ok.”

Cade due to his author finally noticing walks nonchalantly to the table and grabs a drink before setting one of the devices on the ground outside of the party.

they watch Jake and          . “No proof there doing something but… i dunno… i dont trust them. And it looks like they pulled an innocent into the mix.” They say nodding to ryver.

being fair i just spam the space key until it looks enough.

erryin quirked an eyebrow. “Oh sh(Beeeep), yeah cricket i think you are (beeped).” They watch jack as he walked over not trusting him.

Jack noticed some drama and wandered over.  He sat on a stool watching everything. Wings folded but twitching slightly as if eager to get into motion.

Sequence blinked at him a couple of times, but nodded understandingly. “I am quite familiar with strange morals,” she said, her eyes glazing over somewhat as she stared off into the distance. She shook herself, focusing back on her guests and smiling sweetly.

They reached the source of the light - an open portal was shining brightly. The structure had grown into the earth, but it looked new. On its side was a small poster, captioned as follows.

A poorly drawn smiley face accompanied the caption.

"So... What now?"

Named knew the other skeleton generals wouldn't move for a while. He'd made the yellow luxin slightly less stable than it could be, so by the time the generals did move, the shell would've decayed.

As his thoughts fade away from the wall, it starts to give; but when they turn to other things entirely, it returns to being a firm obstacle.

Erdikan notices this but says nothing, waiting to see if it is effective. Perhaps a similar approach can be employed. He then turns his attention back to the scene that Rebus and Cricket are making, noting the interactions with interest. The reaction of the marked is particularly intriguing; checking in on this would be wise, Erdikan figures, whenever he should return.

"To ask you something." Cep pauses gor a moment and hums a tune. "What happened? I've gathered some of it, but how did you get here? How did Rebus?"

"I . . . not right now. Ask Rebus. He might give you an actual answer."

"I'm fine, Madam Sequence. Just... Not use to such a rapid transition from day to night. If you please, is there a constellation here that represents a spoon of some kind?"

Sequence tilted her head, looking up at the sky. "A spoon, you say?" She raised her hand, and the sky spun, as if the planet was rotating very quickly. The sun did not appear though, and the sky remained dark. Eventually, the spinning stopped, and the night sky looked... vaguely different. Sequence pointed up at the sky, and a handful of the stars pulsed brighter for a moment. They were arranged in a somewhat spoon-like shape, though it was an awfully lumpy spoon... "How's that?" Sequence asked.

The smoke curled into the beaker more strongly, but the darkness within the wound didn't lighten.

"Its... bearable." Unintelligible said hoarsely. "Don't think it's working." He closed his eyes. "Try a needle."

Sequence's eyes widened and she grew a bit pale. "A... a needle? I... I suppose I can do that..." She reached into the satchel at her side this time, producing a small sewing needle. She gingerly held it up, poking and scraping at the darkness shallowly. "Like this?"
