Trying to help. I know. You know. The mantle. Controls withergeists-“ he says. Physical exertion is still so storming hard! Annoyance was a fitting Blade, she thought. Though he ran, he seemed to be gaining no ground. I don't want, nor do I need, your help.

He could feel Narration trying to bend reality around him, but while Annoyance suddenly grew uncomfortably heavy around his neck, he actually seemed to be move quicker. “Mhm, well that’s great. In that case-“ he removed a piece of paper from his back pocket, wrapped it around the daggers handle, cut a rift emerging behind her and flung Futility away through it. “You can have this. I won’t be needing it any longer.” He turned around and leaped into thin air, and despite not having the sword, managed to create a rift anyway. 9/10 would not participate in this fight.

It won’t consume mordite from fog unless she lets it, it’s a mordite weapon which doesn’t really matter since fog is a withergeist. since she is a withergeist though she can directly control its shape. he got rid of it because he doesn’t want his soul corrupted, he’s feeling autonomous

"Why do you insist on giving up your own mind, your very self, to the Witherlord? On being forgotten as you are? Giving up everything you've worked for so you can be powerful enough to soon fade into obscurity or be defeated?" She eyed him. "We each have our reasons." 1 minute ago, edgyswordname said: Inkwell watched in disbelief as 9/10 just- gave away like the best weapon either of them had owned, then disappeared without a word.

Above him was a nearly vertical section of stone, a last challenge before the summit. ”I could purify you, once I am the Witherlord. If you wish it, it could be done.”

Verdance he/him Posted February 15 Posted February 15 (edited) Quote Malevolence eyed the final ascent. Then he sat down on the wet stone to wait. Inkwell watched Malevolence climb higher and higher. He eyed the starhawk on his shoulder. “Mind taking me up to the summit?” He asked it. It chirped. Odd. Normally they preferred to screech. “Thanks. I owe you.” It screeched this time, and suddenly they appeared at the peak. Inkwell began to feel very, very uncomfortable. That was a good sign. He looked down at Malevolence. “Need some help? I could give you a rope or something!” grass successfully touched Edited February 15 by edgyswordname

That’s… not my style, she thinks. Can you do a- of course, the sword responds. It shifts into a medium length gold halberd with a gilded pole and smoke quartz point and axe head.

"Dont worry shes getting more medical attention in another room." He grinned. - "not necessarily to activate it but necessarily to make the portal." the ai said. A moment being mockingly patted was one not being vivisected, so that was fine with Rebus. “What do you want with me, then?” - Rebus nodded. “The collider is mostly complete, but I don’t have that chemical.” On 2/13/2026 at 5:06 PM, KaladinsSenseOfHumourSpren said: "Is there any way to stop him?" “The Witherlord has been banished before.” Rebus sighed. “Malevolence might bring about his own demise.” On 2/13/2026 at 5:07 PM, edgyswordname said: 9/10mmHB#2 understands quite well and isn’t much amused. “Malevolence is taller. Anyways, what did you do to my sword? Don’t think that because Inkwell didn’t notice that I wouldn’t remember.” He removed the drawing from his back pocket, unfolds the drawing of Futility, and pokes at the Mark on the signature. It squeaks and hides in the hilt. “You might have fought with Inkwell, but last I checked we’re not enemies.” Mark hoped that staying within the center of the drawing was wise, but Futility seemed a worse hostage than anticipated. Rebus patched together a coherent conversation scene, although 9/10 had already departed. “That is entirely correct. In fact, I could argue that our goals are quite similar in many ways.” On 2/13/2026 at 5:08 PM, Through The Living Glass said: Remind me what the nanobots are made of again? That’s a great question - I barely know. They can be constructed from just about anything, register as more-or-less alive, and involve a hand-wavy particle called an omnion. On 2/13/2026 at 5:31 PM, NameIess said: "He can be beaten." Unintelligible said firmly. "Narrators have died before. Rebus merely splits himself to the point that doing significant damage is very difficult. But that also should leave him weaker, at least in terms of raw Narration." Malevolence's eyes narrowed. "Is that a promise? You, Dr. Rebus Honesty Clarke will swear to aid my plans to become the Witherlord? To not interfere or attempt to claim the Mantle for yourself unless I should first fall?" Lyric followed, humming to himself. "Do you know who or what 'Plot' is? I cannot say I've ever heard of him before." -- "That is... very bad." Unintelligible said. "Where will he carry out the ritual?" Unintelligible was correct on all counts. - Rebus started to respond, only to find Malevolence gone. He hadn’t truly known what he was going to say, but as he disappeared he had made up his mind. And so as Malevolence neared the top, Rebus was waiting there for him. He wore his old longcoat, which was buffeted by the storm. - Jack… did know. A little. “Something fundamental about the universe. My creator has talked about it.” - “A certain mountain. I can take you there - conflict may come before Conflict.” 1

Inkwell immediately stops filling his metalmind in order to have the courage to stay put. “Enemy of my enemy is my friend?” He says. “Or are we going to do the whole battle thing again?” “Whozat,” Eden asks. “An old friend. Nearly killed me. Feel free to stab him unless he decides to act in his own self preservation and not fight me.”, Inkwell says. He waves his hand, pressing an invisible button.

My apologies for abandoning you. Do you have an answer to my question?" 13 minutes ago, edgyswordname said: “Oh.” He paused. “You’ve known too many Spaniards.” Malevolence snorted. "I am on the wrong end of the cliff for that reference to make sense." 12 minutes ago, DragonHeir said: “A certain mountain.
