    I'll address that with Cricket. That's good, at least. "Normally I would oppose that, but I fear you're right." Rebus frowned, still shivering. "Was it sending Symbol away, or making a deal with Fate?" "That is a slightly patronizing understatement, but mostly true." Rebus began to walk away. "If you want to make a deal with me, feel free. Otherwise, I have more important things to attend to." Rebus watched, feeling triumphant and a little guilty. He didn't usually get guilty, but this was an Author, with real feelings. Broken Glass... he though to himself. Rebus almost stopped them for leaving, but let them go. He would need someone to fight, after all. So he watched Cricket's internal monologue - it was quite a good monologue. But destroying Rebus's world? That had already been done... Rebus turned to Atredies, Antagonist - a crown of darkly glowing metal that came to vicious upward points - appearing on his head. "Now then. I've bested you - and almost everyone else who has tried to oppose me. If you swallow your pride, I have a job for you. Otherwise..." Rebus's grin was just as sharp and evil as his crown. Simple. I like it. The labyrinth shifted again.

    Oh no! Narrating in Onyx's Realm makes you lose your powers! "Excellent. You last test was originally going to be combat with me, but this fight gave me enough to go off of. You wanted tattoos, correct?" So does Heir, though he should have his phone occasionally. Rebus - this Rebus, who might get a better designation soon - looked up, still shivering. "You haven't started working for Fate while I've been gone, have you?" "Property damage aside, it was the best option I had." Rebus smiled at the man, tilting his head so Antagonist would catch his eye. "And it did work, as you can see." You're welcome. Jack was a little worried, though he knew that he wasn't edible.

    They're both on the same planet of nanomachines, but they're not in the same maze or anything. They might be able to contact each other, though. Jack was still standing a ways outside the castle gates, though the party was long over. He began walking in a random direction, in the hopes he could find someone else.

    Rebus - this Rebus, at least - looked very sad, and very cold. Hopefully this would save Symbol from whatever that had been - because otherwise, for the first time in a long while, Rebus had made an actual mistake. It was odd, how the person who had actually been betrayed looked less betrayed than Symbol. "Only a very stupid arsonist - or, as I consider it, someone committing insurance fraud - would burn down their own home. I'll give you a choice on how you would like to proceed - you can help me in full, continue training for the task force, or take your chances." Rebus turned to Rebel. "As for you..." he said, sinking Rebel into the floor. Rebus raised an eyebrow. "I do know what I am doing, Haly. Those two will come soon enough." Rebus smiled, Antagonist glowing with darkness. "Me..." It almost sounds like a plan Rebus would make... They're in that maze from Rebus's evaluation, and Bacon froze time so they could talk. Rebus smiled. Really, what were you expecting?

    A crown of darkly glowing metal rising to wicked points appeared in Rebus's hand. He touched it to his head, then tipped it to Bat in farewell. The man had style, slipping out of Rebus's grasp even as he died. Rebus smiled, then stood up straight and placed Antagonist back on his head. Bat had stymied him to the end, but now he was gone, and little else stood in Rebus's way. The Thread would never be the same...
  6. DragonHeir
    You seem very calm about this whole thing... What do you like to do for fun?

    As Lezterp ate his pretzels and channeled the energy into Cursed Treasure, the ground jolted and the walls shifted. After a short while, this happened without any input from Lezterp. There we go! "To see if you had any reason I shouldn't. I can bring you back to life if needed, I suppose," Rebus smiled apologetically, and Bat began turning to nanomachines. "Goodbye. You really did have promise; I'm sorry." There we tears in Rebus's eyes, though it could have just been the cold wind. Rebus smiled apologetically. "Goodbye. I will come back. I promise; I'm sorry." "Not necessarily; maybe you think the Thread would be better under my rule. Have you seen my city?" "Not against evil, against destruction. I live here too, you know - there's nowhere to rule or even exist in if the Thread is destroyed."

    Yeah. My impression of Invention is much more over-the-top than Layke, who abides by “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” and wants backup plans in case something goes wrong. Ooh, fun! More speculative biology… (honestly, I’m probably doing the same)
  9. DragonHeir
    Platypus destroyed Magnificent Bastard a while back. Rebus spread his arms, smiling broadly. “Of course I am! And not just after it, either; I believe I’m the closest anyone has ever gotten.” @xinoehp512, since I was ninja’d. Rebus frowned, shivering and alone in the snow. I suppose, though I’m not sure the figure has hit anyone yet… The whole battlefield is only corporal when necessary; I guess Bacon missed the context about the combat test. A crossbow bolt very slowly hit the time bubble, and it popped with an explosive bang. More footsteps in the distance sounded, loud at first but getting quieter.
  10. DragonHeir
    That’s good with me. , for those of you in TLT. As for astronomy, I think Invention (not Layke - this will be a slightly later development) will go all out with the orbital mechanics and make something ridiculous, like multiple binary planets in a co-orbital.
  11. DragonHeir
    Now we wait - you can eat more pretzels to speed this up. What’s cheating? Wasn’t it established that things pass through the figure? Rebus looked at where Symbol had been, slightly stunned. “Somehow I’d thought I would stay with her… what is your price, Fate?” Oh no. OH NO. “Did you really think that you could beat me on my own turf?” Rebus sighed. “With my Plotblade broken, you might have even been able to beat me if you’d chosen a different battlefield.” He hit an invisible wall as he tried to get closer to Atredies. It wouldn’t do to have Cricket killing a potential right-hand man.
  12. DragonHeir
    Well, it would have been a good - if complicated - strategy had Rebus not been right there. Rebus stopped hovering, stepping lightly to the ground. The shards of the Plotblades sank into the floor. "Now then," he said, pinning Rebel and Atreides in place with utility fog, "would you like to surrender? I wouldn't worry much about your Blade, Cricket; it's likely better gone." Because it's what I do.
  13. DragonHeir
    "She is safe, for now, but I said I would do this. I agree." Rebel and Atredies decided to fight Rebus, and that the best way to do that was to fight Bat. But they realized that the best way to fight Bat was to fight Cricket first, since he'd protect Bat. And so they decided that the best way to fight Cricket was to fight Rose, because Cricket would come to her aid. And then Rebus was right there anyway, so it didn't matter. "Thank you for your... restraint. I knew I would need that teleporter, one day," Rebus said, smirking. There was still anger in his eyes, but he was back in control of the situation - and himself. "I should probably kill you now." The blades passed through the figure with the crossbow. Its red eyes brightened, and it shot at her, smoothly reloading as it walked forwards. Rebus held her hand gently. "Rest. It's alright - Fate will get you to safety." Rebel kept running away, summoning himself a golden staff so he could maybe fight back. It began to fall apart in his hands, though, as Rebus's nanomachines overpowered the ones Rebel had brought. "No! He'll kill me! I haven't done anything wrong. Please!" Rebel said, desperate. Rebus didn't even have to do anything this time - there were so many nanomachines permeating the air that lightning didn't work correctly. Note: this laser vaporizes metal. Of course, the utility fog in the air would mess it up just like the lightning.
  14. DragonHeir
    That was no surprise - if Heir remembered correctly, it was snowing. “Not her, and not me. Anything else, I will do it.” Rebus raised his head to look the wind in the eyes, but couldn’t, for obvious reasons. Bacon was messing up Rebus’s resolve test, but he’d gotten results already, so it was fine.
  15. DragonHeir
    Rebus disappeared before the slash could hit him, reassembling his body off to the side. “You’ve returned, I see. I can kill you again, even if you have a new Blade.” Rebel ran away. “I’m real! Don’t kill me! Rebus is evil - he wants to destroy us all!”
  16. DragonHeir
    Rebel tried to teleport away, and began to panic as he failed. Rebus slammed Rebel backwards with a wave of utility fog, expressionless and nearly motionless. Barely blocking the blow with his own utility fog, Rebel called for Cursed Treasure once again. It didn’t come.
  17. DragonHeir
    It’s cursed, remember? And trapped - as we gather more power, this place will become larger and more dangerous. Unfortunately for Atredies and Rebel, they appeared inside Rebus’s combat simulation. On a planet made entirely of Rebus’s nanomachines, next to not only Rose but also Cricket and Rebus himself. Rebel gulped.
  18. DragonHeir
    Gold and jewels wrapped around the pretzel, the ground rising upwards to form a pedestal to place it on. Great! Don’t touch it, though.
  19. DragonHeir
    Alright - go inside so we can make a focus point. We can have it be a pretzel, if you want.
  20. DragonHeir
    Rebus bolted upright, rushing to her side. He tried to think of something - anything, he could do, and came up empty. “Just… hang on. We can- we can- Onyx’s realm. Maybe.” His eyes widened. “Fate. @xinoehp512. You can get her there, can’t you.” Rebus set off the disguised antimatter bomb Bat had been carrying around all this time, using what was left of his utility fog to protect him from the teleporter’s explosion. “No, you are. And if you succeed, I will burn the world.” The ground before him opened up into a dark stairway, torches bursting into flames and glinting off the gold-plated walls. Does this seem a good start? “Alright, shall we go?” Rebel prepared to teleport to Rose.
  21. DragonHeir
    Rebel smiled back, and teleported Rose to them. And then frowned, because it didn't work. "Ah, the Nullite tattoos." Would you like to do something different? The crossbow did not turn into a hot cross bun. Instead, frost crept up Bacon's musical instrument - whichever one it was - and it began to crumble. Rebus frowned. The Authors were being frustratingly busy this summer. Rebus's mind was not a nice place to experience. Branching strands of mental connections reached to other places: Zoomslug, a mind-numbing number of machines surrounding Zoomslug, more minds identical to Rebus, a faint link to something vaguely recognizable as a conscience, and an otherworldly mind - somehow both human and incomprehensible - linked fully and completely to Rebus. His personality was a terrible ball of pain, fear, and longing wrapped with cold callousness and brilliant plans - the edges covered in a mask of kindness, curiosity, and happiness far to thin to be healthy. Rebus took in the entire scene: the woods, the stars, Symbol's expression. Then he started shivering, and realized how cold he was. "We should find shelter - or make it." The air around his neck solidified, the utility fog dragging him backwards and pinning him to the wall. "No," Rebus said, walking towards Bat with fury in his eyes. "You will not."
  22. DragonHeir
    Excellent! If you channel power through me you should be able to start. Rebus nodded to himself. Perhaps the taynix would make a good world-savior after all. “Evidently not in all circumstances,” Rebel muttered. “But I suppose that’s good. All we need is a hostage, and Cricket loses. Actually, two hostages - who does Cricket care about? We need to make sure he can’t hope to save both.”
  23. DragonHeir
    "I suppose not. Well, you will soon get to discover why I'm the one who is succeeding." I wish I could do something to help. It's what I'm meant to do.
  24. DragonHeir
    Good. We will be able to make a labyrinth or fortress here. Rebus smiled. “There are plenty of people - and villains specifically - stronger than I am. Malan, Ruia, Atredies, Ryss. Who is on the brink of earning Antagonist?” “So we should defeat him first. I should be able to create an anti-teleportation field.” The figure shot a very real crossbow bolt at him.
  25. DragonHeir
    Rebus smirked. "What would you say is the most dangerous thing about me?"
