“Ehh…okay, I guess I’ll go get Felicity and try to fit her in the library. You want to come Ni?” Cara said.

Loosely grabbing the nearest countertop, Ni gave a few shallow nods as he steadied himself.

Ni glanced at Val's hand as she placed it on his shoulder. Briefly looking up at Val, then back down at her hand, Ni lifted his other hand to rest it on Val's. There was a slight hesitation as he gently grabbed Val's hand, but Ni felt it was the right thing to do.

Turning a little further to look back over his shoulder, Ni softly nodded at Cara.

Val smiled. "You're okay."

"So, let's go." Said Gal. "You probably should grab your things."

Orpheus made it into the library.

The library looked... normal, weirdly. Sef sat on his chair, with a peculiar diagram drawn on the floor. It didn't even glow, though Sef eyes did, with a yellowish light. The face of an owl seemed to overlap his.

He looked at Orpheus. "The passage is here, though it's not apparent." He said. "We'll wait for the others, then I - and your Owlson friend - transfer you, one by one."

I hope this answers your question.

"Right!"

Ara sat up, waving to Arik as she left. 

Exodus walked swiftly, leading them to their next destination, taking a couple turns. He had a couple options for how to proceed, but for now, this seemed to be alright. He eventually departed from the main road onto a less well-kept one, with few hints of civilization.

The road began to slope downhill, and the grass around them was much taller now. A wooden shack could be seen further down the road, among some spread out trees.

"So what's the plan for along the road? As in supplies, rests... those sorts of things."

"We leave town by day, enter a town by night," Exodus answered, pushing his way through some underbrush. "Yes, towns are very far apart, but I've got ways we can speed up. We might as well travel through the Ideal Realm while we still can, our opening will be coming soon."

He grinned. "You'll see. It'll be fun."

[Condensation she/her]

"I doubt that, although I could be wrong."

Ara quirked an eyebrow. “I didn’t know you could actually go into the Notion realm.” She glanced behind her. Memory had become just a normal shadow, cast in the opposite direction. “What will happen to Memory?”

"Memory will be able to come with, we're just passing through it."

Is it time for another SPUCE update? I actually doubt it. We're in the middle of a specific move - both our groups are about to pass through the Ideal Realm, and apparently one sunrise takes weeks. Let's not drag it on. Cara should take Ni and Felicity and come with Orpheus, Gal, Valzwyn, hopefully Talnic and... Well, Veilya (I think that was her name) and Rylan are nowhere to be seen, so I don't know what's going on with them. Meanwhile, Exodus' group is on its way to their portal. I can try and tag everyone, but I'm posting from my phone, and as some of you know I just did a round on another RP I'm in (I just joined a third one, so it's not "the" anymore!), so I'm to lazy to do it again. If someone else sees it and is on a computer, please tag everyone.

That was your SPUCE complaining, thank you for reading! See you again in the next SPUCE update!

Cara walked outside and whistled for Felicity. Felicity galloped toward her. Cara grabbed the reins and slowly led Felicity to the library. In the hallway Cara asked Ni, “Are you going to come with us on the quest?”

I can’t remember if Ni ever officially joined the group.

Having worked his way past the others and into the hallway to follow Cara, Ni didn’t make it very far before he stopped to rest on one of the steps in the stairwell, leaning his shoulder against the wall with his head propped limply onto it. It wasn’t so much the exhaustion as it was the stinging pain and discomfort of the frozen muscles in his limbs being forced to move that left Ni feeling drained and lethargic. It always reminded him of when an arm or leg of his would sit at a funny angle for too long and fall asleep; only the sensation lingered all across his body, and it felt much worse.

After a moment or two, Ni saw Cara and Felicity making their way back up through the tower.

Rolling his body so his back leaned against the wall, Ni exhaled softly. Honestly, he had no idea. The Shadow had been pretty definitive about his standpoint when Cara had first asked him about, and Ni honestly wasn’t too sure what this quest actually was. Something about finding a dragon? There had been a dragon outside though, but Ni guessed it wasn’t the one they were looking for…

Ni shrugged his shoulders.

Ni never "officially" joined the group, but he will continue to tag along if permitted.

Spoiler

Quick note I wanted to add about that comment, Ni, and the main plot of the RP as a whole before I write too far:

The separation of the Realms is a major issue for Ni. However, Ni doesn't know enough about Realmatics to understand that (although he does know there is something wrong, which relates to his current goal and main objective). So, while he will most likely never know it, if Ni understood what this quest actually meant for him he would do whatever it takes to be a part of it and see it through to the end.

That's just annoying. Nearly nothing changed since this message, so I think I have justification for not replying. For now, Ni and Cara moved, and so did Gal and Orpheus, but Talnic and Val are still probably stupefied (please follow! We need to move forward!).

Yvris reappeared, but is about to stay behind, basically. Exodus' group is crossing a river or something similar - figure out whether or not the dialogue died.

I'll try to actually tag people, hopefully it'll help.

Random Bystander and Bennet are left out, for now, since they appear to be inactive here.

Hmmm... ... ... Yvris needs to talk to Exodus about the dragon...

Yvris gets to the Exodus group somehow. (Insert dramatic entrance here.)

[Knight of Iron she/they]

Exodus continued leading Ara and Minuet, pushing through the thick underbrush and vegetation. Suddenly, he stopped, holding up a finger. He stood on the bank of a river, cutting down low through the terrain. It was decently wide, but shallow enough you could almost walk across. An empty shack stood near the edge, and through the smashed window, two large canoes could be seen leaning against the wall.

Exodus turned to his companions, and he opened his mouth to say something. But, noticing something in the distance, he paused.

I'm back! Let's make some progress!(?)

Tani, you can introduce your character again if you'd like, to have a second chance.

Also, Trutharchivist, if you want to contrive a reason that Arik followed them then you can reintroduce Arik as well.

Cara paused. “Are you alright?”

Yvris walked up to the group. "I need to talk to [insert name Exodus goes by, I forgot it]."
