    “I’m aware. Who should I talk to if I think I know who’s responsible?”
  2. Through the Living Heir
    Kion finally figures out he’s brainwashed himself. “Cancelation.” Earlier, the spell drops and his eyes go very very wide. “What have I done? I’ve never messed around with emotions before; with the spell, I didn’t want to stop celebrating. And now I’ve made my Render so much stronger…” Right on cue, the Render crests the horizon, a massive shape quickly gliding towards them. “We have to get out of here before it reaches me! Sequence stopped it, but that was in the heart of their world. And my magic will do nothing.” Alright, I need to sleep. Good night.

    Cole drops from the sky and tries to land on an Intellectual.

    “Oh, just that I make a monster called a Render that always knows where I am and wants to kill me stronger with every spell I cast. But that’s not important right now, I should be celebrating!” The Render keeps getting closer, leaping through plains now.

    Cole keeps hovering in a stable power loop, feeling much better now that he’s stopped exerting himself.

    “Alright then. We go talk to them, and if it goes bad, you can get us out of there.” @The Stormfather, Nick approaches a riot police that doesn’t seem to be doing much.

    The biologist looks at you strangely. “Still think you’re crazy, but thanks?” You drive across the bridge and continue on your way, unless Adtae is feeling vengeful and disappears it midway through.

    Cole vibrates the air and causes a loud music note ring out. “Wait… I think I need much smaller vibration than that.” He tries again, making heat, although by this point his clothes are stained with blood.

    “Hopefully. If so, we can try doing this through legal channels. Of course, all they’d have to do is postpone the trial until after they fix the Time Machine.”

    Cole pushes together a lot of air, hoping that he can starve out the Intellectuals without running out of energy himself.

    Nick sighs. “Well, there goes my plan. I’d bet - actually, I’m not sure what I’d bet, but that’s not important - that those medieval-y things are magic and from another universe, so the police would be supplied, and thus controlled, by Telecorp or whatever. At least that means they’re not squandering their invention; maybe society is benefiting after all.”

    Kion smiles. “Good idea! Dancing either her was great!” Suddenly: Kion smiles even more broadly. “Yay, you’re here! As for your question, I have no idea! Earlier we were celebrating a certain number of pages, but when I tried Narrating, it’d been far past that.” He looks around at the pavilion he’s conjured. “It’d be a shame to let this go to waste, though. Magic has consequences for me, after all. But we can worry about that later.” The Render continues glide-leaping across the Thread, the powers that be (read: Murphy’s law) preventing it from reaching Kion quite yet.

    “How do I do that? Pressure?”
  15. Through the Living Heir
    The car is going over 100 miles per hour, so you don’t get very long to see any particular features. There’s a chain of mountains in the distance for a while, and closer up dunes can be seen, grey on one side and rusty on the other. More blade-plants scatter the landscape, although not nearly as many as the strange thicket. And after around a half hour, a small ravine comes into view, straight in your path.
  16. Through the Living Heir
    Cole simply prepares to blow it off course; the amount of pressure he’s creating would likely cause a significant blast of air if released. And he isn’t even sweating too much blood; the wind is pointed at him and thus replenishes his power.

    The human biologist is driving, and he attempts to passive-aggressively hit every ridge, bump, and hole he can find. Unfortunately, he’s foiled by the vehicle’s impressive suspension. The car is fast, too. Distances that would take hours to walk snap by in minutes as they head for their destination.

    Kion looks at the knife. “There’s no time to worry about that! We need to be celebrating! I need people to celebrate with. Do you like celebrating?” The distant bit of him not influenced by the spell keeps panicking. Why did I think this was a good idea? The Render rearranges itself, putting most of its volume into wings. It sheds heavy material and picks up lighter substance from the ground. Soon, each jump sends it dozens of feet forward, getting faster every time.
  19. Through the Living Heir
    Kion huffs. “Fine! I’ll make a new party, then.” The small part of him not gripped by the magical compulsion to celebrate panics quietly as he declares. “Invitation! Creation! Construction! Preparation! Celebration!” which is more magic than he risks most days, let alone in the span of a few seconds. Due to his words, though before he says them, invitations go out to those who would wish to party, raw wood and stone appears from thin air, it assembles itself into a dance floor, decorations and food appear, and the whole area is shrouded in a magical compulsion to celebrate. The Render is truly shocked as the power hits it, making it stronger, faster, nimbler, and smarter. It tears rocks from the ground, forming wings of floating debris and scraping its components together to sharpen them. It tries to fly, but only accomplishes a sort of gliding run as it charges towards Kion’s location.

    Kion falls over, no longer supported by his dancing partner. “Hey! I’m supposed to be celebrating! Bring me back!” he yells angrily at nothing, still in the grip of his spell. The Render perks up. There is the mage. It is far away, but I can hunt.

    The Vvondin sighs again. “Thank you for not harming my colleague, but I can only repair so much damage. I do not wish to walk.” They open the door for Rust and the rest of the group. “If you are done threatening violence, perhaps you may wish to journey to the research station.” The human biologist realizes that Adtae may quite possibly kill him, and decides to shut up until he’s in a position of power.
  22. Through the Living Heir
    Did Sequence ever try to get Kion to leave? The Render looks and feels around. No mage to be found.

    Alvar bares his teeth back, in a threatening manner intended to resemble a grin just enough that you can feign innocence if you’re called on it. “I doubt I can truly spend whatever you’ll give me, at least until you trust me enough to let me go. Whatever passes for room and board, a bit of money - enough that by around the time I could leave I’d be set for a few years, and a sorcerer - preferably one that’d actually be willing to train me.” Edit: I’m several minutes in the past, but the response to this would heavily affect how Alvar would act.
  24. Through the Living Heir
    The Render’s burgeoning emotions flicker and dim, leaving it with single minded purpose. But… I would be thrown out, and then I could not kill the mage. I will wait. It begins sharpening the largest, strongest items it has, deep within its form. And then the person disappears to be interrogated, I assume. I’m slowing catching up on what I’ve missed. I don’t think anyone has told either of me to leave yet, at least not directly. I may edit this if some sort of large announcement is made.
  25. Through the Living Heir
    Cole begins to pull the air all around towards him, trying to keep his own wind and himself in the air while denying his opponents of air for freezing and breathing.
