  1. The dark figure took a bite out of the apple. “Thanks.”
  2. I think there’s too many side characters that are all too different for that to work well.
  3. The figure considers Rirrom’s words. “No, that won’t work. If I told you what the ritual was about, you wouldn’t understand.”
  4. "It doesn't matter now. The ritual is ruined. I won't be able to set up another one until the next planetary alignment. I might have to wait for centuries." The figure pulled out a scroll and squinted at it. "Or maybe just like half an hour. It's really hard to do astronomical calculations when narrators keep making new planets everywhere."
  5. The dark figure's expression falls as Rirrom's arrival spoils the ritual. "You've ruined me! That ritual took weeks to set up, and now all my hard work is gone!"
  6. He may not currently be a main character, but he is the single most important character in my TLT history, and if I was going to story-ify TLT I would start from the beginning of his story.
  7. 4 that I'd define as main characters: Nameless, Moni, Unintelligible, and Subversion. Nameless' career started way back at page 881 with the first and second candy wars, so that's more than 1500 pages of content to go through and turn into a more coherent story.
  8. The dark figure's laugh trails off, and he turns back to the ritual. Soon, it will be complete.
  9. A dark figure laughs maniacally from atop Urithiru, lightning flashing in the sky above him.
  10. Uh..... maybe?
  11. Subversion shook her head. "I see why Nameless didn't like you." "You know, I think we're out of cities. Maybe we should go to a new one."
  12. Obviously the best way to turn TLT into a story is to have everyone on TLT write independently, from the perspective of their characters.
  13. I take the breaths happily, then dismiss my rug Lightweaving and grab the sandwich
  14. "Of course. The outcome is not my concern. If I lose the fight then I will accept the consequences, whether they are as irrelevant as an ignoble flight, or significant as death at your hands. I simply believe that this method of combat works better for both of us than the alternatives."
  15. Subversion smiled, turning back towards Thaidakar. "The perfect tool for building suspense: an offscreen fight. That way I don't have to reveal my secret to anyone but you, and you don't have to narrate another drawn-out fight."
  16. Subversion studied the chess board in front of her in silence for a long time. Then she shook her head, standing back up. "This isn't going to work. If I lose, you have to know that I won't just let you kill me, and I highly doubt you'd allow me to kill you if I was the one to win." Subversion turned her back to Thaidakar, walking over to a weapons rack. "But you are right. A simple fight won't work. Regardless of whether or not you want to fight, I'm simply not skilled enough to beat you. Not without pulling out my trump card." She picked up an axe from the rack, examining the edge of the blade closely. "And, to put it simply, that trump card isn't ready to be revealed. Doing so now would ruin the suspense." She put the axe back on the rack. "The way I see it, that leaves us with two options. Either you can allow me to kill you, which won't happen, or... we can do things differently." @Thaidakar the Ghostblood
  17. "You... alright. I suppose you want to die. Let's proceed. Use your magic to link with my soul."
  18. "I need a living body. And something will need to connect my soul and its soul."
  19. "Go get me a body, and I'll do something."
  20. "You want to know what my curse entails? Fine." The light on Strohger's chest disappears. "About eight thousand years ago, I accomplished my greatest feat as a necromancer. Something that no one in the history of my magic had ever done: I revived someone whose soul had been destroyed by magic. For reasons I don't want to get into this weakened me considerably, and my enemies chose this moment to strike. They did not intend to merely trap me in this form; they intended to kill me. This curse that was placed upon me, it was designed to destroy my body, my mind, and my soul. Against any being I have ever met besides myself, it would have succeeded." Shim paused, light shifting from a dark red to bright gold. "So yes, my possession of you would be lethal. Entirely, inescapably, permanently lethal."
  21. Shim flickers red, becoming uncomfortably hot. "No. Your body could not withstand the curse that binds me."
  22. The light on Strogher's chest heated up slightly. "I said that my powers were sealed away. I cannot use them in normal circumstances."
