So he made something up. “Uh, testing the limits of radioactive particle manipulation, and accidentally gave myself cancer. Or superpowers. Maybe both.” —— Iromem was also hesitant, but he wanted to appear stronger, more competent, more courageous than he actually was. “Lets spread out.

"Good luck with it. I'm afraid my friend and I have to continue our quest." He was certain Jack would agree with him, once he'd finished grabbing the coin from his friend.

If Subversion did find the cabin, she would find some very interesting information you don’t seem to have, though it wouldn’t reveal anything I haven’t already posted on the Shard.

The shadows retreat, the air around them smelling of paper. “Balance? Your author- your plot armor-“ he splutters. He stops, composing himself. “Tell me, who did you sacrifice?” Its not a lot of luxite tbh. The process he uses is… bad. For one thing, you have to have abilities similar to Sanguine’s, undermining the rules of TLT (9/10 is only able to do this with the help of Annoyance). You can only make small amounts of Luxite, (but large amounts of Mordite) and you lose fundamental material in the process.

The wind formed into a little girl, about five or six years old, with brown hair and light gray eyes. She paused, looked down at herself, and shrieked. "GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF!" she wailed. Bob pushed harder and harder, but then dropped the bag. Not because he had lost strength, but in complete and utter shock. He looked at the little girl, his jaw dropped, standing right where his origami body had stood. "Are you... the wind?" he asked hesitantly.

Grass :3 Doesnt make you @Through The Living Glass Just because your name starts with through the living You’re not glass Wait a second For Glass only —— Iromem swore- it would seem he had forgotten where he was for a few minutes, and Plot had turned its gaze away from him during that time. He returned to the regular flow of time. “Shadows of Law?” He paled. “Surely you can’t be serious. They were wiped out decades ago. Storm it, I should have trained with the sword.” He glanced around. One of the corpses some distance away was of a city guardsman, the body consumed by mordite withering. He tore off some equipment from the corpse, mounting a round shield to his right forearm and testing the weight of a short spear. “Lead, and I will follow.” @TwinStorm@NameIess@DragonHeir —— 9/10mmHB#2 stared blankly at the blog post. Pointless. Inkwell was going to get himself into real trouble this time. All he had proven was the existence of sleep deprivation. Well, he had rested enough, and his plan was simple. The author had been holding himself back to avoid exercising more power than he had. That made him weak, limited. It also meant that excess authorial power had been building up for a while. It was time to tap that power. While Inkwell would push back against the author’s narrative, 9/10mmHB#2 had been bending with it, and wiggling into the nooks and crannies in his author’s mind. He was a Flaw after all, subversion was his purpose. Give me prismite, he impressed upon the author. And nullite. Lots of both. There was resistance, but also curiosity. Intrigue. This was wrong- it violated a lot of rules. But it was an idea- a fascinating idea that the author wanted to explore the implications of. And a Flaw broke rules. So out of the blue, two brown paper bags appeared on Inkwell’s desk, unassuming in appearance but radiating power. 9/10mmHB#2 smiled darkly. If he was to be a character? There was no choice but villain. 10 hours ago, Through The Living Grass said: 9/10mmHB#2 was pleased, yet astounded. “That… worked?”, he sputtered. Well, that was nothing compared to the real task. He reached into one of the paper bags, but couldn’t find anything inside, including the bottom of the bag. “Huh, must be hammerspace,” he mused. He picked up the other bag and Rifted into the space inside. He appeared in a metal closet like an industrial freezer, shelves laden with hightech cylindrical containers. The air here, the reality here, it was different. Unburdened by the stench of prismite that tempered the rest of the Thread. A Narrator wouldn’t be able to teleport into here. He picked up a container and examined it. It emanated an aura that resonated similarly to his own- ordered darkness, nullite, control and silence. And so much of it… the sudden feeling of power overwhelmed him. He Rifted into the other room- it was identical, but the cores stored there reminded him more of Inkwell- creation, chaos, life. He took two cores each with him and emerged back into the cabin. This next part would be… tricky. Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Bomb? No. Powerful? Yes. 9 hours ago, NameIess said: A hundred spears of light appeared, each stabbing straight for a different Fog's head. "What, not going to give me a hint? I'm in favor of summoning a sun and throwing you into it right now, but I'm not certain that would be painful enough." Subversion said with a cocky grin. "What's your take?" The Witherlord, with nothing better to do while he waited for Rebus to reply to him, was watching events through the eyes of his minions. He noticed Fog's predicament, and was displeased. What is this? The Witherlord's voice boomed in Fog's mind. You are caught by your own petty Ennulling tricks? How can this be? The Witherlord was silent a moment as he reviewed the battle in Fog's memories. Perhaps this weakness is leftover from your... previous experiences with the art. But it is an intolerable weakness nonetheless. What need have you of Ennulling? What power does a mere device hold over you? I have given you power beyond that of any Enuller, any Narrator. My power. Use it, and end this farce. She banished the weapons of light as the ground erupted upwards underneath Subversion. I don't know, ask your Author! He sent her! she huffed. Previous experiences . . . she thought bitterly. What, did everyone know now? Stupid Thread . . . Still, what he said about using his power . . . that was an exciting thought, but she'd never wielded that kind of power before.

My core has been reactivated by my Author, for a limited time only." Nameless paused, squinting as if trying to make something out. "To address your Author's response, I would point out that, first of all, the process seems to be more dramatically more efficient than any other method of obtaining Luxite, including the converter which was made with Luxite. Second of all, I would point out that the efficiency hardly matters, since your Author also gifted you with enough Prismite and Nullite to replicate your experiment a hundred times over. Third of all, I would point out that there are consequences to such achievements like these, and I do not believe you have entirely thought them through." I get that as a flaw, 9/10's thing is that he can undermine the story and the usual laws that govern it, but I think that there should be some drawbacks to his process beyond inefficiency when in truth, he has the resources to make an absurd amount of Luxite. Like, Rebus's plan involves killing/stealing the powers of multiple Narrators to make a Luxite blade, while 9/10 can just... make one. Probably two or three, honestly. Something like the Luxite created being false, or flawed in some way related to 9/10's nature would balance it better, I think. 2 minutes ago, Through The Living Glass said: She banished the weapons of light as the ground erupted upwards underneath Subversion.

She sighed quietly to herself. He made a fair enough point. She summoned Subversion to stand in front of her- the real Subversion, whatever that looked like, and summoned thr Dragon also. The chamber darkened enough, and the air thickened enough, to become horribly stifling. Subversion found herself unable to think clearly or use her Narration effectively as Fog snapped the Dragon around her neck in the form of a chained collar. There, she thought in satisfaction, grinning once more.
