"Oh the goodie is working with the bbeg?" He leaned forward. "I like a plot twist." He folded his hands. "So if you have an Antagonist on your side then why on earth do you need me to leave if you can just force me." evaiya ran her hand down her face. "Your infuriating mr, vievyk!" She held a hand out and shot a vine at cyrus. He showed no reaction. "Oh deary me! Your plants are scary!" He smiled. Evaiya tightened it. "My darling will you take care of this flowery whore?" kylen looked back between them and bit his lip. Cyrus glared still smiling. "Pet. Defend." he grimaced but shot forward snapping the vines releasing cyrus. He kicked at evaiyas head. CADE CADE CADE CADE AND SERA! Ah 8 minutes ago, NameIess said: I am Ookla the Unintelligible. The voice said. I will fight Rebus, and Aelinor, former avatar of Sequence, has already sworn to do so. But first we must bury Sequence. "A character of @edgyswordname. He carries an... interesting individual within his mind, who could be a useful ally." A drone approached Malevolence and projected a hologram of Inkwell attacking Rebus. Malevolence raised an eyebrow. "It seems you had best hurry. Remember, I want him ali- Malevolence was cut off as a wall of water washed over him, teleporting him away. Malevolence let out a cry of pain as the air hit him, overwhelming his shields and searing the flesh of the arm he used to shield his face. He teleported away a moment later, appearing next to Atreides to begin their conversation. Malevolence blinked in shock. "Wha-" He attempted to activate his teleporter, but it failed, displaying an error message in his . Malevolence cursed. "Shielded, I see." He said in an annoyed tone. He turned to face the Guardian. "Plot Significance? A dangerous Blade indeed. Particularly to me." He eyed it speculatively. "I wonder what would happen if it were turned against Rebus? Very well." Malevolence stepped forward, swinging Darkseeker vertically, slamming it into the ground to send a shockwave of darkness towards the Guardian. "I will have to let the little Narrators be, for now." "Of course. Take the time you need."

He's dead. And you're about to follow him. So what's your plan? I'm going to save myself." "I am harder to get rid of than you seem to think. Without that mercy, I would kneel, much as you had." 32 minutes ago, Aeoryi said: "There is a weapon sharper than the sharper blade. That weapon is Rebus' past. Target his author by reminding him of the cringe he used to post, and you may find it very effective." Rirrom said. "Narrator Rebus, isn't it?" Desolation formed in complete form, with Foreshadowing in his hand. "Complete Antagonist. Congratulations, Narrator." Are you calling me cringe? "Yes, Desolation. I am well aware of my magic, accomplishments, and name." 30 minutes ago, Kansas Stormcursed said: Dark Cep grinned. "Welcome to Hell, Rebus. Enjoy it." That's his own particular branch of the Mindscape. The others can do it, but Dark Cep is skilled at it. Speaking of, what would hurt Rebus the most here? "Why would I resign?" Asharak laid a hand on the katana slung by his hip. It seemed to shake around without moving. "I suspect I shall." Rebus said. "It broke last time, after all." Endless loop of nothingness where I'm not writing him, but that would be hard to delude him into believing. Watching himself fail, maybe - but failing all the way does not happen to him often. "Declaring war against your employer oftentimes demonstrates of conflict of interest." 29 minutes ago, NameIess said: "Every voice adds harmony, even disharmonic ones." Said Lyric. "Now, shall we be going?" Omen squinted at the paper. "Is that Cricket? Yes, he did die. And no, I don't believe I can reach him. He has passed on to the depths of the World of Dreams, into a corner created by his Author." Jack nodded. - Taln, actually. 27 minutes ago, edgyswordname said: Inkwell completely ignores the invitation and spits in Rebus’ face, then licks his lips and whispers one word. ”Brisingr.” Never mind he had wanted to do this all his life, but when black fire ignited in Rebus’ hair, dripping down his cheeks, on his eyes… Inkwell smiled with black-stained teeth. Fun. He drew Futility and prepared for the onslaught. The spit halted in the air. The fire, on the other hand, did not. Rebus grinned back, the flames shining black reflections on his teeth, turning them almost the mirror image of Inkwell's. "Garjzla," he quipped, drawing a cylindrical device so fast that it seemed to appear in his hand. It appeared to be an ordinary flashlight - until it turned on, unleashing a beam of radiance so bright the air ionized and exploded out of the way. The would be a mere instant between the first glimpse of light and when Inkwell stopped being biology and started being physics. 13 minutes ago, Keke said: CADE I MEANT CADE rebyl shrugged. "Eh."

Take your time - I'll focus on the battle - Rebus nodded - though it did mean the various heroes of the Thread might attack Atlas, it also meant that the battle could continue once his Author slept. - Rebus raised his eyebrow higher. "Frankly, I care little of which way this goes. That being said, should you kill Evaiya it would be most practical for me to kill you in turn and take over your little organization." Edited February 2 by DragonHeir I might also remember Stone, should it matter.
Through The Living Glass She/They Posted February 2 Posted February 2 2 minutes ago, TwinStorm said: "So many oppose him." he paused. "I think." He sighed. "Cricket fought the Antagonist, and won. I want to do something like that. Something truly important." "Nearly. Nearly won." He looked at Stone again. "Your Author will kill you similarly, if you try that. You'll simply get less recognition for it. No one here remembers you, save my Author and I." And Fog, he thought absently.

We'll see about that." Even as he spoke, the chalky grey void seemed to be slowly splintering around the Mordite blade he held. Was there a time in the past where such a thing happened to a significant degree? Asharak nodded in understanding. "Ah, yes. I suppose I shall indeed be turning in my resignation. Though I never truly did much work for you anyway; I simply kept myself unnoticed until this point."

He winced at Utility's second statement. Who's Fog? he replied. He frowned. Since when was he telepathic?
NameIess Posted February 2 Posted February 2 11 minutes ago, Through The Living Glass said: She growled and appeared next to him, wrapping a tendril around him, regardless of the consequences. "We're not done here," she hissed, seeping between his armor. Malevolence cursed again, teleporting a few feet away to escape her grip. Fortunately, local teleportation still seemed to work. He looked from the Guardian to Fog, then smiled. "You've trapped yourself here. Alone, without Ribbon to aid you. Forced to defeat not only me, but the Guardian as well if you want to get back to your friends. A poor move, in my estimation." 7 minutes ago, Aeoryi said: The Guardian let the darkness sweep over him, clearly unaffected. His pale green fire enveloped his off-hand, and then he slammed it into the ground, creating great geysers of the lime flames. Malevolence leapt to the side, dodging the flames near him. "I see this will be difficult!" He called. "But you will find me worthy of your Blade!" 4 minutes ago, DragonHeir said: Jack nodded. Lyric set off deeper into the forest, humming a cheery tune. He did not begin singing yet, perhaps waiting to see if Jack would begin instead. 5 minutes ago, DragonHeir said: Taln, actually. Omen threw up his legs in frustration. "Why do I bother with you? You're hardly sensical at the best of times! Still, I cannot allow you to leave with Mischief. The danger is too great."

"I've see the things you do . . . as long as I live long enough to see that stupid smile ripped off your face, I don't care what happens." Malevolence shouted, and darkness coated him entirely, burning away the tendrils of Fog touching him, infecting the Narrator's essence with corruption. He swung Darkseeker, further spreading the liquid plague. "That would be very meaningful, if I knew who you were." His words were confident, but he was breathing hard. "Care to inform me, before your inevitable death?" Just now, Aeoryi said: "None are worthy. None are Significant enough." The guardian responded, swinging the blade in two long arcs, advancing towards Malevolence with each step. Malevolence looked towards the guardian, frozen in time by the exit of its Author. Perfect. He thought. Perhaps I'll have time to deal with Fog first.

The unnecessary musical reference grants him a little confidence as he swipes the pen across the sky, creating another Rift behind Atreides that catches him and drops him into the Premier Inn, a liminal space full of white void and doors, where time never begins, and conveniently, he cannot escape until after Inkwell and Rebus conclude their battle.

And I've gotten most of them, too (though not this song, nor the Inn). Rebus smiled. "Good - you can stand up against more of my capabilities." He swept out a hand, and a spear of utility fog - visible only as a slight difference in the air's refraction - launched itself at the pen.
