You were going to brainwash Jack and Lyric, weren’t you? 
Oh, and Rebus needs a mercenary to capture Meat for him.

Thinking a bunch and writing important things down is how I get Rebus as smart as he is - though my memory is already good. 
Actually, does anyone want me to write up something about how I write Rebus? 

Yes yes. 

Also i just steal ashodaklas notes.

The glow of darkness around the gem wrapped around your finger, spreading out from the point of contact. Your emotions twisted almost immediately, becoming harsher and darker. The whimsy in curiosity leeched away, edging towards a covetous greed. Joy turned to arrogance, satisfaction to jealous paranoia, and frustration to simmering bitterness. But the emotion that had led to this conversation in the first place, gleefully plotting to cause Rebus angst and regret? The gem latched on to that, amplifying it and twisting any misgivings into justifications and contingencies. “Oh, simply a power I thought would be useful.” 
You could let go of the gem, and the emotional effects would go away after a few seconds. Or… you could become Evil Hawks. 

I yelp a very manly yelp and retract my hand quickly. "Ahhgh whatthefuruckinghell!?!" They whine. "I wasnt gonna cause anything" they whimper. "I was just gonna animate you damn. Angst is my whole thing! Have you seen my channel? Half my animations are character angst bruh!" They wave their hands in a similar way an anime character would. Becoming chibi adjacent for a bit.

Ryna hesitates, then lifts her gaze properly this time, one eye a calm blue, the other holding a soft, golden glow that brightens as she speaks. She doesn’t look away from it now, just lets it be seen.

“I was born in a very small place, far out on the edges,” she says. “My parents travelled constantly. They were scribes. They copied contracts, wrote down births, recorded local stories so they wouldn’t be forgotten.”

She gives a faint, almost embarrassed smile.

“I learned to write before I learned to walk. When we stopped somewhere long enough, I’d fill the margins with nonsense glyphs and half-made tales.”

Her voice softens.

“My family was swallowed by Silence. I was taken in by The Loom.”

“That place doesn’t exist anymore. Neither do most of the people I knew. Threadquake. So I kept doing what they taught me… moving, listening, writing things down.”

Willow hummed thoughtfully. “Interesting. I am sorry for your loss. What… or who, is Silence?” Willow asked with a curious tone as it spun end over end in the air. 

[Kansas Stormcursed he/him]

Do not interact please

Just solo character development on the one character not dependent on others

Spoiler

Asharak listened and searched. He knew, for what was coming, he would need power. More than he already held. Being made of power wasn't actually as dramatic as it sounded; the power he was made of was but a sliver of the whole. He knew he would need more, and he had an idea. There seemed to be these Plotblades everywhere; one of those should bring him the power he sought.

He searched, and searched, and searched, and then—there. A thread of a rumor. He followed it to several dead ends, before finally arriving at a small world way out on the fringes of the Thread.

Ah. Meat the Minstrel is the opposite of Bacon the Tax Collector, pretty much. My flu-addled mental state led me to create him, some of Bacon’s lost memories colliding with a dream spirit of the fever variety. He’s crazy and will throw pianos at you and is virtually impossible to understand due to the Plotblade Nonsense.

I should do that too, perhaps (I could even contribute some information). 
I’m imagining a really deep yelp - kind of like the noises some video game characters (Link does this, I think) make when you jump. 
“You are attempting to portray me in emotional pain,” Rebus pointed out. “With knowledge of your purpose, I might point you to the initial point where I began editing my personality. Alternatively, you could use the times I’m trapped, unwritten, looping over and over without any of my imaginary actions mattering.” 
I split the writing, but at the bottom of my last post Rebus offers a rebuttal to Dax.

If you do, Rebus will get to fight you. (Though since Antagonist did, Protagonist also probably requires a vote)

Okay now I have time to continue this

Asharak approached a small cottage a few dozen yards away from a stream, in the midst of a wide-open, idyllic field. He strode right up and opened the door to reveal an old man sitting in a rocking chair before a roaring fire; above the fireplace hung a magnificent sword.

At Asharak's entrance, the man chuckled. "Just in time," he said, in a raspy voice. "Rather promising, all told. You wish to claim that?" He pointed a shaking hand at the sword above the fireplace.

"Yes," Asharak said.

"Good." The man grinned. "Then you must prove you deserve it. I shall give you three tasks; if you can complete all of them, you may claim Nick. Your first task, then, is to fetch me something to eat. What in particular is up to you."

“Narrators are…” Malevolence trailed off, then pulled out a piece of paper and a pen. “Explaining is difficult. A demonstration is better. Write something for me. Something about a person, real or imaginary.”

Sandy took the paper and pen and wriggled his fingers. He winced, and his being flickered. He tried moving the four fingers on his right hand independently, but he just couldn't.

He passed the paper and pen to 18142. 18142 started describing someone he'd only seen briefly, and only through his mind's eye. It was a tall man, with red hair and silvery, gleaming eyes. He had broad shoulders, and wore a flowing, rainbow cape.

He looked up at Malevolence.

“Those words would be nothing more than a headstone in a vast graveyard of long-gone characters. Perhaps a Lurker would one day return to life a simulacrum of me, and I would be grateful for it, but why forsake my current existence for that slight change?” 

He rubbed his head. “I feel this argument isnt getting anywhere, and i think i lost my original point. Do me a favor and see what i started with?”

“When is that? Also it’s really the only thing I know about you. If you’d like joyful fan made things just ask! Also give me ideas! Art block is kicking my ass, i cant figure out what to do! So just like tell me, cause i know your goal is to have this exact thing happen right? So if you told me then id have motivation to actually do it.” They huff and fold their arms. “pleeeeeaaaaaaasesssseeeee”

Ryna shakes her head slightly, voice soft.

“No… it’s alright. You don’t need to apologize.”

She takes a small, uncertain breath, fingers curling lightly around her satchel strap.

“I… I hope you don’t mind me asking, but I don’t know who that man is,” she continues, glancing toward the dark figure at Unintelligible’s side. “And… I’m still trying to understand Sequence’s injury. How did it happen, and why… why is she resisting the cure?”

Guys I’m coming back slowly

Not ready for big plots yet

that said, I think that imma develop the Notblades a bit more

@Ookla the Obfuscated

Wrath can’t remember if he told you that Parasite faded or if he simply made you promise not to use it. Anyways, the Scribe’s presence allowed for regulation of the two other Notblades, so these disappear at some point from his death to now.

WITH THAT OUT OF THE WAY

anyways chat Anguish isn’t a villain I swear

 

Anguish opened his eyes, smiling slightly. He took in his surroundings, frowning slightly as he extended a limb. He… he did not have skin, like he wished to. Instead, scales of stone surrounded his body, and spines extended along his arms. The spines reacted to his movement, growing and retracting in waves.

He stepped over to an animal, extending a hand to it. It twitched, but there was no other reaction. Disturbed, he noticed a trail of blood leading from the animal, and he slowly processed the situation.

His voice, gravely and deep, came unbidden. A cry, low but rising, of emotion.

He could feel it. Feel the pain, anguish of the prey, deep within himself, as if he were the animal, as he imagined the predator tearing the animal apart. Something shifted, and he stared down the small stream, across which the blood trail ended.
