  1. Nogard smiled. "I'll look forward to that." The music from the orchestra filtered over to where they stood. Nogard glanced over at the dancing figures. "No one got hurt, I hope! Well, other than the witch." Nogard paused, thinking. "Who was it that went with you...? Beosta, right?" Beosta is saaaad... "I must admit, I've always wondered what it would be like to be the subject of a dedication." "On occasion. I have to keep up with all the goings-on, you see! Don't worry. I keep what I see to myself. Well, some of the time."
  2. Bacon shrugged. "Serves you right for trying to get Onyx to do anything, really. He does like his brooding." "Glad you remember me! Say, you don't intend to dance with Lettuce, do you?" "Well, Sequence is a Narrator, so she probably just whipped all this up in a few words! That being said, I'm sure she'd enjoy eating anyone who tried to interfere with it." "Whoa!" exclaimed Nogard. "That's awesome! Was it an epic battle, or more of a sneak-in-and-get-out type deal?" Bacon let music filter through the connection encouragingly.
  3. Lettuce booped the stamp with his nose, and in a flash they were at the party. "Greetings!" said Bacon. "Oh! There you are, Lettuce." "I promise not to give away your secret," replied Bacon with a grin. "So long as you dedicate one of the poems to me."
  4. Bacon shrugged. "It sounded fine to me. But I'm hardly a poetry expert! Fortunately, I don't think there are very many poetry experts here on the Thread, so you can pretend to be a genius and nobody will notice." "All thanks to Sequence! A very clever idea, really, having a party like this. I might have to steal the idea sometime." Bacon can read minds at least some of the time. "Sure," said Lettuce. "There's nowhere better to sleep than at a party."
  5. "Adventuring? Ooh, what sort?" You're just going to let her sit there all by herself? "You'll get kicked out if you make a scene! Or worse." The Render couldn't hurt Kion at the party. And yes, I suppose Bacon would still be talking to Kion, if he hadn't found someone else to talk with.
  6. "You're not going to steal mine, are you?" Bacon joked. "So, Shoe!" exclaimed Nogard. "What have you been up to? Did you pay a visit to your hometown?" Come on. She's lonely outside! Lettuce looked it up and down. "An invitation to a party," he said. "Hmm. I suppose that's where everyone went." Charles smiled, feeling Tenth's focus sharpen. "Whoa!" said Bacon. "Careful there! This is a peaceful gathering. You don't want to break people's stuff by mistake!" "Hey, Ista!" called Bacon. "How was the meeting with Onyx?" "Well, it would be a boring world with nobody in it, don't you think? Stories need characters that move and grow!"
  7. "A Narrator?" Nogard's eyes were glazed over. "So... a storyteller?" "As is yours," said Bacon, smiling. "Speaking of fulfillment, have you thought of a purpose yet?" "Thirty, huh?" said Nogard, still slightly dazed. "You look pretty young for thirty." He blinked and flushed. "Er... I don't mean..." Selppaenip chuckled. "I appreciate the sentiment! But I fear I am too fearsome to be simply normal. Perhaps, with the help of Master ... , I will learn those ways in time." "My role? To make sure nobody is lonely, I suppose. Lonely people have a nasty habit of vanishing." Voices bombarded him as he sunk into the earth, trying to force their way inside his head. "I hope not!" said Nogard with a laugh. "They haven't tried to execute me yet, at least. Hopefully the trial proves the innocence of the Great Wizard, and we can all work together instead of fighting each other." He paused. "I... wouldn't mind if you came by, though." Hey Shoe, transmitted Bacon. You should ask Beosta to dance. @Through The Living Glass "How's the party going?" asked Bacon. "Good," said Lettuce, yawning and looking around. He frowned. "Weren't there other people around? Where did they all go?" At that moment, Sequence's invitation appeared.
  8. "Thank you," said Bacon, bowing. "I make an effort." Sorry! It's a flood:P "To cultivate stories, I suppose! They're just so fun to watch, you see." Nogard blinked. "You're how old?" Selppaenip sighed. "So I've been told." "I hope not! I'm going to testify at the Great Wizard's trial." "Nice to meet you, Tam!" Nogard accepted the handshake. "You're a- what?"
  9. "Getting captured, mostly," said Nogard ruefully. "How about you?" Nogard jumped, nearly falling over. "Agh!" "Not at all! It gives me the freedom to define my own purpose."
  10. "Moni!" called the potted plant. "You need to wake up!" @NameIess "It's not too difficult," said Bacon as they danced. "Really the only tricky part is making sure the personalities don't diverge." Nogard gasped. "Shoe! You can talk! Wow, your voice is really deep." "you are welcome to try" Hands broke the surface of the ground, grabbing at Avatar's ankles. "My gratitude." Selppaenip's eyes gleamed. "Those cowardly fruits haven't dared show their faces to me for a good while." "Oh," said Nogard. "So... something is three thousand years old?" Onyx sent a thank you note for the tea. Bacon sighed and made another kazoo.
  11. Nogard brightened. "Shoe! You're alive!" Onyx sent a message apologizing for not being able to attend and wishing good fortune on the proceedings.
  12. "Doesn't seem like she's showed up yet." "It would be my pleasure," said Bacon, leading her onto the dance floor. "Yes, I'm okay- although I have been captured by the Brave Adventurers. I'm going to testify at the Great Wizard's trial, it would seem. How about you? Were you able to get away from the battle?" "An honor to make your acquaintance, madam," said Selppaenip, bowing in return. "Is there any way I can be of service? Ruffians attempting to disturb the peace, perhaps?" "The 3000th what?" Nogard's eyes were well and truly glazed over at this. Bacon waved. "It's no trouble at all. I do it all the time." "so you have come to be united" whispered the ground. "to join us" Uh, Tenth can go to the party if he wants. "You broke my kazoo!"
  13. Bacon made his clothing a fancy suit and styled his hair. He conjured a dance hall filled with couples waltzing to a full orchestra of breadmunk musicians.
  14. "Hey!" exclaimed Bacon. "That was uncalled for." "I am Selppaenip, destroyer of pineapples and defender of the innocent! I presume you are Sequence?" "I've been... alright." Nogard looked around, clearly disoriented. "This is... a party?" "Ah!" explained Bacon. "Asher! It's nice to meet you officially." He bowed. "I am Bacon the Bard, Narrator extraordinaire." Nogard turned. "Subversion! You're alright!" "Er... It would probably be best if you could hide somewhere Narrators couldn't find you..." The destroyer stood with his back to the man. The trees rustled, but there was no wind. The ground whispered.
  15. Bacon made a flourish and covered his clothes in gemstones of every variety. A choir of breadmunks sang a serenade to Lady Bug, specially composed for the occasion by master Breadmunks composer Rye Panera. They were accompanied by a full pipe organ. Invitations appeared. Selppaenip blinked, then quickly accepted. "Exceptionally so. They may have help from a Narrator." Bacon shrugged. "I can do anything!" Bacon welcomed the partygoers with kazoos and confetti. "Yeah!" exclaimed Bacon. - "Whatever you do," said the potted plant, "don't go to Sequence's party!" @NameIess In the wasteland that was Onyx's realm, the destroyer stirred. Nogard hesitantly pressed the stamp. In a flash, he appeared, dazed. "Where... am I?" Bacon had been there from the beginning, of course, but he made no special effort to find Perseus.
  16. "Look, I'm sure we can find another way to do this whole 'genocide' thing," implored Bacon. "One that doesn't involve Plotblades." Not to be outdone, Bacon responded with an even more elaborate and dramatic bow. Carrot went over and nuzzled Cricket. "What is your question, Nogard?" boomed Selppaenip. "Um," replied Nogard. "Should I testify? In the trial?" "Well," answered Selppaenip, "you are innocent, aren't you?" Nogard hesitated. "I... yes..." "Then of course!" he proclaimed. "Don't you think so, madam Ghanderflaffle?" "Chances are very high."
  17. "Er," said Bacon, "Have we learned anything about who those guys were?"
  18. Bacon clapped appreciatively. "Of course!" boomed Selppaenip. "Ah! Hello, Nogard." Nogard glanced at the Ghanderflaffle, concerned. "...He's the lawyer?" "It's, uh... difficult to explain. Suffice it to say, they're after Endings."
  19. More Ennullers appeared, binding Sangent's hands with rings of darkness. No, said the Ennuller softly. It is you who is the fool. Bacon glanced up from petting Carrot. "Hm? Did something happen?"
  20. "Very well," relented Bacon. He turned Lady Bug's hair purple.
  21. "Yes, please." You are delusional, concluded the Ennuller. A dome sprang up, locking down the area. You are under arrest for crimes against the Thread. "See here," said Bacon, "we can't threaten someone we can't find." "Your life is in danger! You need to run!"
  22. I'm not sure I parse. Bacon just said he doesn't know where Moni is. I imagine Silence knew better than most the exact trustworthiness of Narrators. Which, as you know, is why they are all contained within the Thread. "Psst!" said a potted plant. "Moni!"
  23. "I suppose it does," acknowledged Bacon. "Got to be careful though. Didn't want to end up looking too much like Nogard."
  24. What is he responding to? The Narrators are contained as they are. Do you suppose you can do a better job than the very founder of our order? "Nope! I could make one, I suppose, if you think I ought to."
  25. Bacon examined himself in the mirror. No to the blue hair, yes to the bacon stache, he decided. His hair returned to its natural brown. "Well," said Nogard. "I suppose I ought to speak with the Great Wizard's lawyer, right?" How badly does he want this? "That's a good question," said Bacon. "Aren't you supposed to be with Nogard?" "Death?" remarked Bacon. "I don't think that's very likely!" "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Even considering all that, I still don't know where Moni is. So we can't possibly steal Endings from her." You are rebelling against the codes laid down by Silence himself, said the Ennuller severely. Your actions threaten the stability of the Thread. Renounce your deviations at once, or we will be forced to take action against you. This is an internal affair. Do not trouble yourself.
