“Aaaaaaah that is freaky I don’t like that,” Cassie yelped. “That is a very scary idea. Though...I will admit not much scarier than him dying in the first place.” 

“I mean, it is pretty scary,” I said.

“And what happens if the Writer dies? Do all of their characters disappear too?”

Cassie blinked. "Maybe? I can't see Alonze around here, but he and Cobalt were Ap's only characters, as far as I know...and then Ene started writing Cobalt, so he might not count."

“What if Apollyon was a character?” I proposed. “They are indistinguishable from regular people like us, and his writer might have wanted to kill him.”

Of course Apollyon was a character. We are all characters, just... some more than others. If his Author wanted to kill him, there's nothing we can do about that.

"They shouldn't," said the man, frowning. "As long as the Narrative energy exists to sustain them..."

Why don't you feel like this can apply?

Just because of how we've already handled it in this RP. Sure, there hasn't been much precedent, but there is some. 

And again, I'm going to try and steer this away from discussions about this again. Will you help me? 

Cassie shrugged. "That's just been my experience, I guess. But no matter what Ap was, he's still gone, meaning someone still killed him. The most important thing is finding out who."

What do you mean? Writers are different, so of course the rules are different. It doesn't mean that they can't share an underlying, unifying set of rules.

I already wish this discussion had never happened...

The still-as-of-yet unnamed man shrugged. "Like I said, I've only seen one man ever do anything like this before."

I'm just going with, it's different for everyone and this is not where we define the dissimilarities or minutiae.

“Agreed,” I said. “Or the tags of this post would have been false advertising.”

I looked to the body, and kneeled down next to it. I continued to stare at it, inspecting it, looking around t for any shred of evidence pointing to the killer, a calling card perhaps, anything to guide me on my investigative studies. And then, it all clicked.

“I don’t really know where to start,” I said honestly. “I’m not... a real detective, you know.”

"This is really crazy," Cassie muttered to Jamie, watching sadly as Ap's body was taken from the chapel.

Ap's body is no longer here.

For a second after I skimmed through that I thought that you were telling yourself off for talking about Ap’s body after it had been removed a while back 

(I’m sorry if that doesn’t make any sense, talking is hard at the moment )

Ah, gotcha.

Suddenly Ap’s body began to disappear, simply appearing to fade away. A voice whispered from above, barely able to be heard, “for continuiiiity,”

“No!” I said, and then remembered. Had I messed up continuity by perceiving Ap’s body was here, when it had been taken away before? But, then, who had been there to make things right?

My Writer? But, they had made the original mistake of saying I saw Ap, so who had reminded them that Ap’s body wasn’t here? Could they see my actions? Was there a whole group of higher-entity Writers following my actions, observing? Did they like what I was doing.

Was that what those orange arrows I kept seeing in the corner of my vision were?

“Seems odd to have two titles,” I interjected, dressed in an lawyer outfit, the Ace Attorney soundtrack following me as I walked to the centre of the courtroom. “He’s called ‘Narrator’ as well as ‘Master’ and the two titles are meshed together?”

I took off my glasses.

“We may not have found Apollyon’s murderer, but I’ve found a suspect. Why, this Narrator has already butchered the English alphabet! Why wouldn’t he do the same to a human?”

Honestly, though, Narrator Master of Silence is a pretty cool name

Replay was watching Luna, eyebrows raised. Di and I both misjudged her gender. Maybe she has illusory magic?

Meanwhile, Deteca broke off from the group talking to go see if Safire's group had found anything.

Master of Silence is a mime title, interjected Aqua. Calling himself that serves two purposes, hmm? It acknowledges both halves of who he is. And it allows him to conceal his true name.

"I guess he is," remarked the man, oblivious to the voice. "Strange. What do you think we should do about it?"

Marion was walking through the woods. She wasn’t entirely sure where she was; Silverlight wasn’t exactly somewhere she’d spent a lot of time, and she ached to explore the city and ask questions, but she had work to do and there was Ap to avenge and so on, and so she’d reluctantly listened to Safire Dretve and went off exploring with Diamond Umber and a dragon. 

She tried not to think about the dragon existing. It hurt her brain with how much there was to learn.

I have to admit I haven't followed this thread at all and I never knew how to start in the first place tbh...

That’s fair. Um, we were going to have a wedding, then right as it started Ap was found dead and I fainted. Some of my characters are out on search parties looking for a potential murderer, everyone else is investigating the chapel or basically just hanging out and talking. So far we’ve accomplished essentially nothing, but we’ve had a ton of fun dialogue
