So who still needs to wrap up before the time skip?

In calamityville, creepy epics restrain you.

Just what Backtrack needs, to meet another Epic who worked for Koschei

Is it likely that Soulswitch would recognize Remington? Given that he was part of Koschei's group.

IRL I'd have to go with Electrum for the reasons Moogle pointed out or possibly Bronze to pull all-nighters, if I was on Scadrial I'd have to go with Steel.

They'd picked up several new recruits for their growing empire along the way to find Chimera, Refill had sent them all back to the school with directions to see Zip when they could. They couldn't afford to have unknowns with them when dealing with this 'Chimera', from what Growthspurt had told him, this could be a very important Epic to add to their ranks. Refill was still planning his strategy for the attacks that would be commencing at nightfall when they arrived at the zoo. "This is the place you said?" He asked Growthspurt, who nodded. A pile of ruined armour stained with blood marred the otherwise neat entrance, watched sternly by two of the zoos inhabitants, twisted though they were by Chimera's powers. Refill stopped short of the gate and yelled to the zoo. "I am known as Refill, we seek a meeting with the Epic known as Chimera"

She can join in that group, but that attack will be later at night, the MEE has people spying on TT so they know that it would be a good time to strike during the Empire/Thought Town meeting but the MONA is a lot harder to spy on

Rabbit foot for Murphy?

She won't be part of the attack on TT that happens early so we can keep them on their own timeline for now I think.

Mommy? Terrible name. Zip was just about to reply when one of the guards burst into a tirade, decided to head to 'the dungeons' though they were in a school and then pulled out a notebook and started muttering to himself. Zip looked over his now pristine shirt, impressed at the display of power, not particularly combative but then he'd never though Refill's abilities were either. "Let her go, all minor Epics are welcome here." He said to the guards, the one mumbling to himself ignored him, infuriating Zip further but the other untied her. "I'm sorry for the way you were greeted, welcome to the Minor Epic Empire. I'm Zip, your children shouldn't have been harmed as long as they got up to no mischief." Zip opened the door and snagged the arm of a passing woman. "Gills, see if you can find a group of children around the school somewhere and see that they're brought into class 3c to wait." The woman nodded and sped off. "Now, care for some tea?" He asked Mommy as he waved an arm at his desk and restored the tea set to normal size.

Yeah, she has a bunch of tattoos on her for combat purposes but they're pretty small too. I'll probably put an upper limit on how many things she can actualize at once too, like 5 or so I'm thinking.

It only has effect when in direct contact with the writting, so she could write 'Dagger' and then move the writting over Nighthounds heart and actualize it to stab him, but she couldn't just write something in the Dalles and kill Nighthound The bigger the writting the stronger the effect, so while she could write 'Elephant' and make one, it'd only be the same size as the word she wrote, so making bigger things takes ages.

I'm considering adding another Epic into the Dalles as part of Vondra's team if that's alright? Scribbler: Can manipulate ink and actualize any words she has written.

And then Nighthound died.

Well they have the benefit of not having Nighthound

Welcome to the forums, would you like a celebratory cookie for finding Hoid? (Guaranteed to have fewer than 7 lethal metal spikes hidden inside)

It was with great difficulty that Impact prevented her twin from trying to kill all the guards and escape right then. Although Impact hadn't liked what Reader had said anymore than MV had. "We'll be fine, we can escape whenever we need to, just stay calm for now" She whispered as they were dragged along. Her troubles were even further compounded when one of the soldiers mentioned a firing squad, but even if it was embarrassing she had nothing to fear from soldiers and their guns. Together Meg and I could take out every soldier we've seen so far even if we are new to this, it's the Epics that are the problem, we need to know what we're up against. It seemed like they were now waiting for yet another interview, one where their final fate would be decided. I should have thrown his desk at him when I had the chance, rusting man will be the death of us. A woman approached them with an air of forced calm, someone who was confronted daily with sources of anguish and terror and somehow maintained their sanity. Someone to be wary of then, that Reader was ruled by his emotions, someone like that is easy to manipulate, easy to deal with, this is someone in control. The woman waved a hello and stopped a short distance away, just out of arms reach. Clever too. "Hi there. Autumn Glass, not an Epic. I was told Reader recommended the firing squad, but I'd like to hear your side of the story. Could you tell me what happened in there?" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MV spoke up, no doubt annoying her sister once more. "He was a slontze is what happened. He shot our friend then threatened to kill us when we stood up to him. Sparks, how do you work around someone like that?" She was beyond irritated at all of these problems, first they were captured, then taunted, and now nearly executed. Only the glances that Impact kept shooting her stopped her from freezing all the soldiers and shooting them. The effort of restraining herself caused her eye to twitch. "And now we have to speak to another sparking person in this crazy town and this is all after we were nearly abducted by a guy with cool sunglasses, got taken up to a flying museum, met the worlds creepiest guy then fell for a few thousand feet without any parachutes." She paused briefly to gasp in a breath. "So that, in brief is our story. So if you're going to kill us get in over with so we can haunt that Slontze in there already."

*Is realizing his attempt to break the chain was pointless from the very beginning.*

Lightwooner ftw!

*Is suspecting this will go on ad infinitum if something doesn't break the chain*

You go, the twins don't have much to say.

That would be a good idea I think, and it would allow her to creep Backtrack out later without the twins spoiling it instantly

Yeah I think Nighthound definitely needs a combined Ray/Voidgaze death scene. Not really sure what to write up for the twins, they'd probably try to fight their way out right about now but they'd try to rescue Backtrack too. :/ Maybe I'll just wait til they're finished talking.
