  1. Rebus chuckles, planting a teleportation beacon nearby so they can return. “We’ll go to a city - I’m confident it will blow your mind.”
  2. “Yeah. The world up here is a lot bigger than your pond.”
  3. “It works a lot like your pond. It doesn’t stop, per se, but people stop being able to breathe eventually. But of course, we’ve got magic.”
  4. Rebus grins, and points upwards. “You want to know what the sky is? It’s that.”
  5. “Night, sky, or hyperbole?” Has she looked up yet?
  6. “Wait until you see the night sky. At night, that almost isn’t hyperbole.” Rebus grins. “True. It goes both ways, though. I know I’ve applied that philosophy before.” Rebus assembled from nanomachines in front of him. “I’d be happy to fulfill both requests! Did you learn anything while I was away?”
  7. The amulet doesn't do anything underwater, but once they got above water - propelled by utility fog - effectively nothing changed but a slight distortion where the water ended. Rebus stands on the shore of the pond, but Soliel (did I get that right?) still feels like she's underwater.
  8. Rebus smiles, using utility fog to generate helpful currents. "I can help you move, if you want to see what's up there. I'd put the amulet on so you don't have to learn how to walk too."
  9. "They do. You should be able to hold them together while you get used to it, though."
  10. Rebus chuckles. "Alright." Her tail splits into legs and an amulet appears in front of her.
  11. "I think we can start with either that, or making air water for you." A second hologram appears, showing her, as normal, but swimming in the air next to a tree near the pond.
  12. "Of course." Rebus makes a hologram of her, except with legs with fins coming off of them. "If I did this, you'd be able to both walk and swim."
  13. He grins. “I will. But there are several ways I can do it, and I’ll need to choose one. I could change your body using a few methods, I could give you something that allowed you to move around and breathe in the air, I could give you another body like what I’ve done with myself, make air to you behave the same as water, the list goes on. It depends upon what you want.” He makes a holographic list, then corrects for the water distorting the images. “I can, of course, change what I’ve done to account for feedback. But I think we want to start with the requirements you have.”
  14. “Effectively. I have technology that can do almost do anything.” He chuckles. “Although I can also actually use magic.”
  15. “I’ve never made a stationary statue, but I’d enjoy learning. Or I can make some that do move.”
  16. Uhh... Good question. "Well, I enjoy building things."
  17. Rebus was contemplating adding some portals to other ponds. "Unlike the last people you proposed that to, I can stay here." He smiles.
  18. Aright. Does it look like there's enough room to do things? "I'll be sure not to bother them." He floats, legs crossed, coat waving in the current. "Do you have anything you'd want to do?"
  19. "So you live down here?" Rebus looks around the pond (I think?), taking it in.
  20. Rebus smiles. "I teleported here. Apparently you want something to do."
  21. Rebus smiles, spending about half a second breathing water before his nanomachines react. His clothes and voice similarly adapt to the water. “Hello. My name is Rebus.”
  22. Rebus, made conscious through his Author’s idle thoughts, decides he’s fed up with waiting for Balitan to finish embezzling his equipment and propose experiments, Malevolence to continue trying to get him to admit he’s evil, Ruia to start the class or say whether or not she wants to move to his moon, and the trial to go somewhere. He thus teleports to someone similarly bored or fixated on by their Author, so he can have something to do.
  23. "I suppose. Maybe that's why I came here, so I could get a connection to reality. Other kinds of connections can break Narrators, you know." Rebus continues grinning. "And your communication device contacted all the Narrators, though you're lucky you got as many responses as you did."
  24. Rebus grins. “I’m sure there are perfectly reasonable explanations for this. Wouldn’t you perform background research if you were going to a seminar? And I’ve interacted with non-Narrators, if you count anybody I know as a close personal connection. Maybe I’m here to infiltrate you, or to use my new knowledge for good.”
