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.

Ryver squinted up at the sky. "That... should work. Thank you." 
He sat back and whispered to himself while doodling a spoon with that pen on his arm. A joke seemed appropriate, as this seemed to be a party. "A man is having soup in a restaurant and drops his spoon. He calls for the waiter, who immediately produces a new spoon from his pocket. The man is impressed and asks, "How did you know I would drop my spoon?" The waiter replies, "An efficiency expert figured out that the most dropped utensil is a spoon, so we all carry extras". The man then notices a string hanging from the waiter's zipper and asks, "What's that for?" The waiter explains, "That's another efficiency measure. The expert figured out that washing our hands takes up too much time. So we pull the string to go to the bathroom". The man asks, "But how do you put it back without touching it?" The waiter leans in and whispers, "I don't know about the other guys, but I use the spoon."
As he finished, a spoon appeared out of the drawing and he stirred his tea. And looked over at                expectantly.

"Of course!" The tea kettle floated over and refilled Jack's cup. "So,             , why don't you tell me a bit about yourself?"

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?"

           smiled. Well vibed smiling. “Oh me? Im merely here to analyze and collect. I have my goals, but none are of importantce to you sequence.”

Sequence tilted her head, listening while she watched Ryver curiously. She smiled as the spoon appeared, amused by both the joke and the action. "Fascinating process... I could've gotten you a spoon though, if you wanted!"

          smiled. Well vibed smiling. “Oh me? Im merely here to analyze and collect. I have my goals, but none are of importantce to you sequence.”

Sequence blinked a couple times. "Oh! Well, of course. I myself enjoy some analyzing from time to time! Any interests, hobbies, particular skills, or anything like that you wish to share?"

"It's a party! Well, a quiet one. There aren't a staggering amount of guests this time around. I just enjoy meeting the Thread's new souls! I'd love to speak to you and learn about you as long as you wish to stay."

 

I almost forgot!

This is vaguely how I imagine the night sky on Sequence's World to look, just imagine there's more stars and some weird spiral constellations and also that the terrain is different... Despite lots of looking, I was unable to find the perfect planet around the perfect nebula, so this will have to do . Mostly just to help you get an idea of the 'clouds' I attempted to describe.

The needle's tip began steaming, and Unintelligible flinched. "I... meant the Narrationblade. A syringe would be better at... better than a beaker."

That's beautiful. I like it!

"I'm sorry.was it taboo of me to make the spoon? I'm sorry. I didn't want to impose on you."

He perked up eagerly at           's words. "So you're one of the narrators that Blurred told me about? You could help me find out who my author is? I want to know if it's the same one as my world. I can tell you about my world if that would help?"

“Oh! Right right, I’m so sorry-“ She tossed away the sewing needle and her Narrationblade morphed into a similarly dark-looking syringe. “I’m not much of a doctor, in case you haven’t noticed…” Still very timid, she poked the needle into the darkness and slowly pulled back the plunger.

“Oh, no no, you’re free to conjure all the objects you wish! Just, if you need something and it’s more convenient to ask, please do so!”

She cocked her head at the mention of Authors, frowning slightly. “… Well, I- … I can’t say I know too much about the… rules and laws around Authors… I’m also not sure how I feel about… you know… ‘breaking the fourth wall’ and such, but I… I guess I could tell you who your Author is, if you’d like.”

"Is it not normal for people to know about their authors here?" Ryver thought for a second. "Actually, can you tell me of my author brought me here intentionally, and if they're evil or not? I don't need to know more than that."

“Well… It depends. You know about your Author if your Author wants you to know about them. Nearly everything an Author does is intentional, but whether they’re evil or good? … I couldn’t say. I guess I could ask! Or you could ask. Whether or not they respond is up to them.”

"Hmm. I'll leave it, and find out as I go. I know that I am Authored, cause that's how things work where I'm from." He turned garnet-red eyes from the stars back to Sequence. "Actually, is it possible to get back to where you came from here? Are most of these people native to the Thread? What can you tell me!?" He sipped his tea again.

Taeidin puzzled this for a second, not expecting the reaction. He got up and pressed his hand against the wall, wanting to see if it truly was malleable. 

Podcasting? Wdym?

After the style of Bacon.

erryin shrugged. "Closure. Or... hopelessly trying to give people a better end. Its a normal thing in stories. Knowing it will do nothing but doing it regardless."

 

"Even if doing so brings about the destruction of the multiverse?"

atlas beamed. "YAY!!! I have a family!!" She giggled. "And sequence don worry I'll visit you!!!"

"Well, throwing out assumptions. Rebus isnt scared of much and seeing as he is unphased about your appearance he doesnt fear you. I see no reason as to why he won't accept. On the contrary though, he might not accept because its a waste of time. And I think he could lay you down like your friends."

"Splendid! Here it is," said Bacon, conjuring a portal to his bacon castle.

Lyric inspected the mall. "You know, it sounded like a much nicer place when the guru described it to me."

Malevolence frowned, ordering some more extensive scans of the hat and opening an intercom to the vault. "Bacon, check your hat. It might be contaminated with some sort of spyware."

@xinoehp512

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."

Jim blinked, shielding his eyes from the light. "...What is this place?"

"My hat?" said Bacon. "How strange." He removed it and squinted at it. "How could that have happened?" he asked it.

The darkness flowed out into the syringe. Unintelligible stiffened, then relaxed as the last of the darkness flowed into the syringe, leaving behind a nasty-looking, but normal wound.

"Thanks." Unintelligible took a deep breath, then opened his eyes and smiled at Sequence. "I... guess that was a rather serious injury."

"Ah," he says, nodding. "That explains it somewhat. Yet does not really answer the question of why?"

Dark Cep followed the others through.

The wall folds before him, and he finds himself in a massive system of cabinets extending in both directions, drawers lining them.

Dark Cep quietly took in his surroundings.

Taeidin looks around, curious. He picks a drawer at random and opens it.

"Back where you came from? Like, before you arrived at this party? Yes, I can send you back when you wish!" She tilted her head at the second question. "... I believe so. I certainly am, and I've never left. I'm a Narrator, so I can't leave by law of the Enullers anyways, but that doesn't bother me. I know other people can and do leave the Thread, or even arrive from other places, but... Most of the time, they're created here and never leave. I think." She scratched her head. "What else would you like to know?"

The darkness flowed out into the syringe. Unintelligible stiffened, then relaxed as the last of the darkness flowed into the syringe, leaving behind a nasty-looking, but normal wound.

"Thanks." Unintelligible took a deep breath, then opened his eyes and smiled at Sequence. "I... guess that was a rather serious injury."

Sequence visibly relaxed, letting out a big sigh of relief. She reached into her bag again, getting a small cloth. She doused it in hot water from one of many floating tea kettles, letting it cool a bit before gently dabbing at the wound. "You 'guess'??" She asked, looking at him incredulously, spreading a little bit of antibacterial ointment on the wound before gently pressing an adhesive bandage over it. "You're not invincible, you know..." She said, shaking her head and leaning back on her stool, wiping her hands on the cloth.

"No, not from where I came before the party." He shook his head. "I... Have memories of a world, where stories mattered and we knew about authors. I could have sworn that I was there until yesterday." Ryver glanced around the room, trying to take in some of what was happening. "Do you think that my world is part of the Thread that doesn't know it is? Does that happen?"

Is it Ok for me to get Ryver involved with the other characters at the party? I'm still unsure of the system of this thread and etiquette. Sorry.
