Hello Star and Luna!
-
THE MOST UNDERRATED MOMENT IN THE MOVIE
-
I would be fine with that. Both at least imo. Er, keep waiting...
-
-
...Yes, we are. Happy birthday, person who is far above me in social rank. I bow down to you
-
Deteca accepted and read the paper, then looked up at the Denizen - Wis. "Thanks," she said quietly. "I hope I'll never be pierced by a spike, but then I also hope I never have to do this again, so, well. Anyway. Thanks." Warily turning to the too-innocent-looking pathway before her, Deteca glanced back at Wis once, then started walking forward, ignoring the voices. She exited the alleys and found herself in the more natural alleys of the city she knew, though maybe natural wasn't as good a qualifier as it generally was. The Alleystorm had begun shortly before she'd arrived, and one of the Phoenixes - the one she didn't remember anyone mentioning from before - was plummeting down on the PlasmaCore building. Deteca jumped backward, eyes showing their whites as she ran a few paces down the alley.

"I've been assuming there was a catalyst, even if that was simply the world hitting a certain point in time, but we can't really be sure," Gati admitted.
-
Negation looked at Tion and winced. "All I have are guesses, hopes, assumptions. I don't think I know anything more than you do when it comes to the Augury."
-
But seriously what is this potion doing to me
-
Why do we even have that lever?!?
-
"Can we keep going?" Deteca muttered to her guide after all the laughing stopped. "I don't like these..." - she made several meaningless gestures with her hands - "...voices." @Voidus
-
"Of course, Truth," Gati said, nodding. "And the same to you. We really do need to speak about this." He watched, biting back amusement, as Izzy got a panicked-rabbit look in her eyes again. "Oh! Hello! Your instinct. You're Truth. Okay. Thank you!" She was clearly trying to regain the calm she'd showed when first meeting Negation, and failing.
-
Oh, no, that wasn't her name. It was voices whispering that she had secrets, hissing that she was hiding something. Fantastic. "I don't have any secrets," she hissed back at them. "Leave me alone." @Voidus
-
"Thank you...sir?" Izzy said cautiously. What if deities drink different stuff from the rest of us? What if it kills me? Or worse, what if it's normal water, but he poisoned it or something? "But, er, I'm good." Next to her, she got the impression that Gati was holding in laughter, but only for a second. Then he said smoothly, "This is Izzy Rahasia. Her Truth instinct is...unusually strong, and she's been hearing parts of the Augury; I believe she's involved in it as much as we are."
-
Deteca stuck close to the girl - who she was now almost positive was a DA denizen - and tried to ignore the creepy voices in her ears. Were they saying her name, or was she imagining it? @Voidus
-
"Gee, I sure do wonder what this potion is doing to me." *stares at the narrator* Edit: Fixed it
-
Why isn't she speaking? Deteca wondered, before mentally shaking her head. None of my business. Anyway, she can do it in two minutes - well, good for her. Unless she's offering to show me the way? "Thank you?" Probably safer that way... @Voidus
-
Deteca watched as the girl held up six fingers. "Six minutes away?" Hopefully she doesn't mean six hours. Then the girl took a step forward. Deteca shied back a bit, but didn't step away - what if she somehow accidentally fell into the void? Agh don't look. XD yeah hopefully not. @Voidus
-
Pi waited until Zokora came back. "So, you need somewhere to protect your people from the Phoenixes? I don't know if anywhere can really do that for long, but the tunnels are our best bet." @Sorana *** @Voidus Don't look at the void, don't look at the void, just like baking bread, don't look at the void, don't think about your parents, just get to PlasmaCore and help and DON'T LOOK AT THE VOID. Deteca knew she wasn't doing very well. Learning how to Alleytravel hadn't been her first priority during her time infiltrating the Dark Alley, and she'd only ever done it a few times. She remembered that finding a metaphor and using that to concentrate made for easier movement, but she wasn't certain how well she was performing. She took slow, steady steps forward, passing through the city and quite possibly places that weren't in the Alleycity at all. Don't think about Mom and Dad, don't look at the rusting void. It was almost a relief when she finally encountered someone, apparently a little girl dressed in rags - a child living on the streets. Not that Deteca actually thought she was one, deep in the alleys as they were; either she'd stumbled upon an abomination and was about to die in one of a variety of ways or she'd stumbled upon a denizen, and she wasn't sure which was worse. She stopped in the alley she was in, exhaling as she let go. Might as well ask directions, she thought ruefully. "Hello," she said carefully. "I'm fairly inexperienced for an Alleytraveler; could I possibly ask how close I am to the PlasmaCore building? Where the Phoenixes are attacking?"

I'll PM you! ...but if I misinterpreted or if you want to retract that, that's cool. I definitely didn't forget I wrote that. Nope. Nothing happened here. Ignore meeeee. RIP Victoria's soldiers... Oh, and by the way, the gods heal faster than mortals. Like, if it would heal in a week, it heals in three days for them. Or if it would heal in five months, it heals in one. (Not that that's what's happening below - Negation's just making it so John was never shot.) Izzy was freaking out. When her instinct had whispered to her that she was going to meet Negation, God of Gods, she'd thought there was something wrong with her ability. Well, she'd told herself that, though deep down she knew it had never been wrong before. And then it had been right, and Negation had been normal - he (or she, though Izzy hadn't seen them be female yet) made jokes and didn't have a super old or formal accent and feared messing up. Slowly, she'd grown used to his presence. And then they'd arrived at this glade in the midst of the forest, farther than she'd ever traveled before, and according to her instinct there were even more gods there. Gati had told her they were going to meet someone, but he hadn't given her details! She gave him an accusing look that she desperately hoped wasn't scared as he stepped forward. "Hello, everyone," Gati said amiably, then froze, looking around. "What happened? I'm late to a meeting one time and everyone goes and gets shot!" Grumbling, he moved over to one of the others - Facet, Izzy thought - and pointed a finger at the arrow in his shoulder. It vanished, as did any evidence of a wound. I can still remember that it was there, though. Did he leave it in our memories on purpose? Izzy had been with Gati long enough to learn a little about his power, but not nearly as much as she wanted. Annoyingly, her instinct hadn't helped her in that regard.

*drinks potion and waits*

Archer, I love this post so much I could cry, but I do have to say that Negation doesn't reverse time - just the action(s) that took place during that time. The same amount of time will still have passed. It's also not a world-wide thing unless they specifically want it to be (and if there was hypothetically someone with the instinct, they wouldn't have nearly enough power to do the whole world). Great! Adding it to the OP now. They're Intensity, not just someone with the instinct, right? Everyone has one (in a simplified sense - there are exceptions to this rule, e.g. the gods, but for now we'll just say everyone has one). Tion is altering their sense of eyesight, correct? Because otherwise I'm not sure how he's doing this. Wait, does that mean you're doing the thing now? I thought you were doing it in a verse or two. WHOA WHOA WHOA, are Reality and Infinity married? First, yes, the Space-Time Continuum ship is sailing, second, this has majorly interesting implications for your kids. I may have to PM you two about that. Breaking-Talent-like powers works for me, BoS. I love all the writing that's happening! Your characters are all great. I'm very sad to say that I'm being ousted from the computer right now, but I'll put this on the top of my list tomorrow. Negation and Izzy are walking into the meeting. (Everyone is supposed to be at this meeting, by the way - all the gods, at least, but we can make up excuses for the ones who don't have writers yet.) Lastly, may I have a volunteer for something? Someone whose character isn't a god. It's not going to hurt your characters or anything. I just need someone to witness things occasionally. @Lunamor @Sorana @I think I am here. @Jaywalk

*fellow insomniac has a cure* Best taken while writing your characters in corners and having them make bad decisions. HAHAHAHAHHAHA I'M SO SCREWED

Baker Pi glanced up at the sky above Alleycity, where several different colors of fire swirled and combined, then focused on the matter at hand and led Zokora into the tunnel entrance. Deteca's phone buzzed twice in her pocket, but she was too busy ogling the twin birds of flame and power swooping over PlasmaCore. That shield they have can't last much longer. And then what happens to the people inside, of all guilds? Do they have a way out? Is there any way I can help if I get there? It's too far for me to run and get there in time... She bit her lip, knowing exactly how stupid her next plan was, but the lingering regret from the Phoenix's blast earlier convinced her. Either this kills me, or it redeems my mistakes in a way that fighting just for TUBA does not. I need to help the people in that building, whether they're TUBA or DA or Ghostblood or PlasmaCore or no group at all. They're people, and that's what should matter. That's what TUBA should fight for. Deteca took a deep breath and felt for the alleys around her, trying to recall what little she'd been told about this and the few times she'd done it before. Like baking bread. Just like baking. It had been a while. She took a step forward, out of the street she was currently in, and started to Alleytravel.
