    He shrugs. “I thought it might be useful, both for the item and the lesson.” Rebus nods, though Cricket cannot see it. The nanomachines begin categorizing and extracting contaminants. The process would take around 45 seconds. It’s up to you if this works for the poison (if it’s mundane, it should. If it’s magic, I’m not sure). It’ll improve Cricket’s health too, removing any toxic buildup of normal chemicals. Rebus raises an eyebrow. “What did you three do to attract this many assassins, anyway?” Rebus sighs. “I will take my leave then. Perhaps your temptation will work better next time.” Wait, is Bacon with Tam, Bat, and Cricket?

    Rebus sends a screen over with a thought, displaying the rough positions of the nanomachines and giving more detail when clicked. He shakes his head. “It really depends upon a number of factors. The most important is the plot; I can’t fix it if your Author doesn’t want it fixed.” The nanomachines reach his bloodstream and begin removing anything but Nullite that does not appear in ordinary human blood. “I’m not here, technically. The Dreamsmith requires your entire soul.” Rebus blinks. “What?”

    Rebus would have been offended if he had his soul, but he didn’t, so he wasn’t. He pulls up several holographic screens for the benefit of the others, and a cloud of nanomachines surround Cricket and begin to enter his body through pores. They’re almost imperceptible as they work their way farther through.

    Rebus smiles. “I can do that. I was worried you’d need my soul.” He turns to Cricket (@Ookla the Irreplaceable). “I’m going to molecularly detoxify you with nanomachines. Even background Ennulling stops them from transmitting, so I’ll need you to trust me and try not to Ennull.”

    *materializes* Sci-fi you say? I’m interested! Do we have a specific technology level we want?

    With a loud bang, more machines appear around the beacon. They toss out lines of force fields, one set protectively surrounding Bat, and the other forcing the air apart with a whoosh. Rebus appears within the vacuum, surrounded by a cloud of nanomachines. They billow out as both sets of force fields deactivate. He smiles at the group. “Hello, Bat. Tam, Cricket, good to see you. Sorry about the force fields; I built those in for combat reinforcement purposes. What do you all need from me?”

    He raises an eyebrow. “My creativity comes, in part, from my soul. And I can see applications, just not ones worth the costs. A shroud of all-consuming darkness and a shroud of all-consuming light have the same uses. I could use vacuums, but I can already through teleportation. I could destroy all that try to stop me, but in either case I’d be ignored.”
  8. DragonHeir
    “That is disappointingly limited.” He shakes his head. “If I wanted unchecked destruction, I would open a portal to a star or the antimatter planet. I do not think I will seek out the Witherlord. It would paint a target on my back in exchange for abilities I don’t need. The Morditite control would be its only power of worth to me.”

    Rebus shakes his head. “I wish for a tool to either assist me in causing all sorts of plot, or one to protect me should the type of plot that has been caused is conflict. Which is not quite the same, though similar. The form of the weapon… my primary weapon now is utility fog - nanotech that moves and shapes itself as I direct. I am unsure how you could forge such a thing, considering that a vital element is the redundancy and ease of replacement for one individual foglet.”
  10. DragonHeir
    Rebus catches and examines it. “It is remarkably crafted.” He tosses it back, for he does not believe he can keep it. “I came here because I wanted a tool I could rely on. Narration, even by proxy, is such a powerful ability that checks and balances exist against it. One of your weapons, even if it cannot create and restructure everything around it in an instant, is more concrete. I wish to stay alive and well, and for the Thread to stay alive and well. Conflict is an essential part of plot, and a method to protect myself or prevent being countered would serve me well.”
  11. DragonHeir
    Interesting. I have neither time for this nor context, but I think I’ll join anyway.
  12. DragonHeir
    Sagerian shrugs. “I am naturally curious.” Kion nods. “I’ll likely be killed once we leave, but I will do all in my power to protect you, Palsu.” Rebus nods. “You are correct, on both counts. I suspect the metaphysical metallurgy will factor into what I ask you to forge, so I would like to learn that first. I am not sure a blade will be of much use to one of my talents, though a Blade likely will.” The clones stands, hands clasped behind his back. After a moment, he helps himself to some lasagna, though he does not require food.
  13. DragonHeir
    Is this part to me? “I sent me.” Sagerian says, not really clearing anything up.
  14. DragonHeir
    Sagerian nods. “Yes, I have. Immortal weeds would be problematic, now that I consider it.”
  15. DragonHeir
    Ah. I’m just bored right now, and I saw all the people I wanted to talk to go online and then leave again. Sagerian nods. “Animals?” @xinoehp512 Rebus nods skeptically. “What does the power of chaotic darkness allow me to do?” Ok. Nameless’s trial mentioned balancium. Does that canonically work?
  16. DragonHeir
    Rebus nods. “Ah. And what effects would claiming it have?” If I have a seed piece of Morditite, do you think it can precipitate more if I touch withergeists with it?
  17. DragonHeir
    Rebus’s eyes widen. “Interesting… who is the current bearer? Why would they wish to destroy all?” Yeah. Narrators and Ennullers have cores of their respective fundamental metals. If I dissected a withergeist (or a Narrator or Ennuller, honestly) could I extract that core?
  18. DragonHeir
    A couple science things you can ignore for the sake of the story if you want: the middle band of a tidally locked planet contains permanent storms because one side is effectively a massive warm front, and the other a massive cold front. Maybe they’re not too bad, or the inhabitants have ways to deal with it. Also, if you want the plants on the dark side to be green, a green light is one of the only kinds of light they cannot photosynthesize from. But again, you can handwave, or make the plants a different color. I like the use of bioluminescence, as deep sea environments are a pretty good analogue for the dark side..
  19. DragonHeir
    Sagerian writes that down. “What do you mean by nonorganic containment? Can you convert plants?” @SpiritOfWrath
  20. DragonHeir
    Interesting… If there’s enough geothermal activity, your ecosystem could work like those around hydrothermal vents. Alternatively, heat from the light side could be conducted to the dark side, which would cause pretty significant storms but also potentially get the producers enough heat for chemosynthesis. Do you have any other worldbuilding fleshed out yet? Should things also live on the light side?

    Kion frowns. “The man who was in the cave earlier was hiding from them, remember?” He drops the magic when Moni asks. Rebus takes the offered hand, shaking it firmly.“I hope it shall. The effort that giving all these visions must require would wear out anyone.” He waits for the Dreamsmith to speak, as demanding something be made for him would be rude. I unfortunately must sleep. It’s bad timing, but I shall see you tomorrow.

    When I wrote that, I had believed she would stay in possession of the bag for a least long enough to fully inventory it. Sagerian writes that down, then temporarily runs out of things to say. My first idea upon hearing this is to pipe blood around and have these people serve as communication networks, as well as slowly accumulate knowledge. It’s a silly idea though, and Sagerian has never used a computer, so he wouldn’t know it to be useful.
  23. DragonHeir
    Rebus’s clone blinks. “What do you mean?” By the way, do you know if withergeists have cores? Sagerian writes that down. “So you do not receive skills your copies learn. You could have a copy repeat the process on you, if they were trusted. That would allow sharing of skills.” Just going to note that Rebus’s teleportation beacon will give off a strong electric shock if touched by someone other than Bat.
  24. DragonHeir
    Hmmm. I have some more terrible ideas… Sagerian jots that down. “Ah. And they can propagate the transformation as well, which could be … undesirable. But it transmits your skills? Backwards, or only forwards?”
  25. DragonHeir
    Granted. It doesn’t stop, just loops over and over in your mind. I wish you would actually give me the answer instead of just saying granted.
