Immortal Platypus

that's true! not necessarily for the longest amount of time, but the most, yes.

"You would have to provide that written testimony, and as it was not provided in pre-trial disclosure, it cannot be submitted, so that evidence is considered moot and null. And if his soul was destroyed, then how exactly did he end up in an afterlife. Without a soul, there would be nothing to go to an afterlife, inside of TLT or not. Also, one need not have a connection to an Author to exist. There are many in TLT without an Author, Butt Venture, Kilometers Fifty-lives, and more, yet they persist. Not having an Author does not mean that you simply cease to exist." Hacob stalked across the room, pacing intently. "I've proven my ignorance? I am not the one saying that Ennullers would allow a being to leave TLT. You clearly do not understand. The Chaotic Light energy is not inherent to TLT. It exists here in such large quantities because of the Narrators. We brought it here, and the Ennullers contained it. Certain people or beings are more likely to draw this energy. Nameless had one of the strongest pulls I've ever heard of. One does not become a Narrator of great strength only through training. Without enough Narrational energy, training is nothing! If Nameless were to exit TLT, he would draw a large portion of the Chaotic Light energy still out there, whether he wanted to or not. When one rejects the status of Narrator, the energy in TLT flows to the other Narrators or to the successor. In Nameless' case it did both because he held significant amounts of it. As for your analogy, sending Nameless out would be like selling an ICBM that constantly refilled its payload if it drew near any that it had not specifically stopped itself from absorbing, and its payload was literally everywhere. It would be a disaster. As for Platypus, yes it makes sense he wouldn't be allowed to leave. He holds the powers of Narration and all the other forms. But let us not forget, if he didn't hold those other forms, if he just shifted on and off from Narrator to non-Narrator, than he still wouldn't be allowed out because he would gather Narration energy and become a Narrator again!" Hacob snatched the book back. "I will thank you," he said sharply, "to avoid taking my things. Fortunately in this case the consequence is already known. This trial. And ," he said, eyes scanning the page, "this is not a work of fiction. As clearly stated here, 'This book is an elaboration on the previous book by Thaidakar. I acknowledge that Thaidakar based his work on real people.' Thaidakar had my permission to use my name and likeness, else his representative would be in a similar court battle now. Nameless did not. He recognized that this was based on me, and thus has full responsibility for his crimes." I was going to try to make a shortish post to bring our post size down, but then I couldn't fit everything in, so you get this now

*doesn't hit* guys, we may be able to call off the attack. Chaos has been summoned, he'll take care of it for us

i'm kinda sorta close!

What have you done. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!

NOW IS THE TIME TO STRIKE! THAID, GATHER THE ARMIES! *drops from the sky and bonks with Stick of Retribution*

*wound in side grows larger, now seeming to cover entire side of body* not really, I'm just here. I move that @Thaidakar the Ghostblood is selected as our official secular leader and myself as our spiritual leader, and that we form a war cabinet between ourselves and two others that we jointly select. All in favor? Those not a part of the cult group cannot vote

"Yes I do. Narrators can come back to life, so the Ennullers keep them in the realm of TLT even past death. Nameless' soul cannot have been destroyed utterly as only a relatively short time ago, a piece of it (kind of) fought Platypus in his duel with Subversion. His connection to his Author has clearly not been lost, as his Author stated what he was doing, showing that the aforementioned connections is still there. And just because one is not a Narrator for a time, doesn't mean they aren't permanently. I was not a Narrator in the beginning. Neither was Subversion. Yet both of us are Narrators. Platypus stopped being a Narrator, then he returned, then stopped again. Would the Ennullers let him out? No. (He asked.) The Ennullers keep close watch on all those that are (or were) Narrators in case they return to their Narrative ways. Do you really think that those who seek to trap Narrators here would let one of, if not the, most powerful Narrators simply leave? They would not." Hacob Narrated a cup of apple juice into his hand, then reaching into his pocket with his other hand while drinking his juice, he pulled out a softcover book. "As a matter of fact, I do. Through my contacts in the afterlife, I have procured a copy of the book (which is yet more proof that both it and this life exist in the broader space of TLT. You would have known this had you shown up for pre-trial disclosure. On this page," he continued, opening the book to an early page, "I am mentioned, by name, described as I am, with false information about me. This is libel and using my name and likeness without consent."

The STICK is more powerful. *wound grows and festers more severely*

only 1500ish posts

Death of the body does not require a soul. *Wound begins to fester and burn*

"None that have been put into TLT can leave it due to the Ennullers. Therefore, your so-called tst must be in TLT." "Thank you." "It would seem that we disagree on canon then. Nameless cannot canonically exist outside of TLT as he would be kept in by the Ennullers. Canonically his actions affected TLT as otherwise this trial wouldn't be happening. We are in TLT, and if his actions didn't affect us, then we wouldn't be debating this. What is your reason for him not canonically existing in TLT? If it is because Subversion is a Narrator, that cannot stand. Platypus has shifted from Luxsprite to Narrator and back several times while I have been alive, but I have stayed a Narrator."

The STICK is not false. All who oppose him have fallen. You will be next He is not. You failed to kill him. Injuries are nothing to the power of the STICK.

eh, philosophy is cool. What else would we do on the shard? DEATH TO THE ENEMIES OF THE MOST HIGH STICK! *stabs you with Stick of Punishment*

I have been trying to get there for a long time. I'm coming for you Luna!

guys I made it to this leaderboard!

foolish mortal. you will bow before the might of the One True STICK. also, ya'll talking about fire, Stick is better!

I think i'm close to l33t

*stabs self with loving stab* that one was for jesus

"Nameless actually does reside inside the pocket dimension known as TLT, or his actions would not be known here and could not be stated by an Author."

sorry, they threatened those that follow Stick. My phrasing was poor. Also: That is not true. Often, war can have bad results, but it is not inherently bad. Many good things have happened through war, like @The cheeseman said earlier. That is not true at all. Was the defeat of Nazi Germany just so the US could say, look at us, we're big and strong? No, there was much more to it. Again, not true. War is not about just one person or there wouldn't, and couldn't, be a war. war cannot exist without two parties fighting. the greater good is an undefined thing. Hitler thought that what he did was for the greater good. that doesn't mean it was right. While some of the greatest goods have been done under the mantra of "for the greater good" some of the greatest evils have as well.

they attacked the stick, not just the hair color I have read a little more, I will be editing shortly. Please hold

thank you. I thought it worked well

The gingers have declared war on one of the STICK's prophets. The followers of Stick cannot stand for this. They must be stopped. They started this, the blood is on their hands. Just being a ginger doesn't mean you have to side with them. Stand aside in this war and you will not be harmed. Take a side, and you likely will. If you take theirs, you side against the One True STICK. You cannot be a part of this particular cult group as you are ginger, but that doesn't stop you from following Stick.
