    “Alright,” Rebus said, “now you should try changing something. I’d advise either giving yourself a body or summoning a simple object. Staying a disembodied voice is viable, though you’ll probably want to be able to act on the environment.” Rebus made an apply. Rebus Narrated an apple. An apple appeared. Rebus gestured to the three apples, “I’m not sure if you experience enough of the Thread to see the differences in what I did, but you can try all three methods - they’re almost interchangeable in result, but it’s a slightly different process.”

    Rebus doesn't control all my characters. (Though there is at least one character Rebus directly instructs... ) *return hug* I'm fine. School is ending soon, so I have a zillion things to do, but I'm getting around to them. My sleep schedule, too, is messed up, but that's mostly self-inflicted (for instance, it's after midnight right now... ). I hope you can find some time/method to sleep well and be no longer grumpy - I should probably go to bed myself.

    All my characters have approximate character arcs, but none of them really have any plots going, other than Rebus.

    "Of course. I need evidence, do I not? Letting augmented researchers design better augmented researchers without any testing is practically asking for an angry biosingularity."

    Jack pointed at the castle. "That's the castle. It used to be called Entoturis, apparently. As for metaphorical direction, I'm looking for some myself." How's a plotline as a prize? Alright. (Rebus wanted her to go berserk, but I get why she shouldn't) Rebus glowered at Heir and Glass for taking away his plotlines, but Sagerian somehow managed to get to the entrance to the caverns. @Bird Furious, or I can alternately run a random character from the Eternal Mountains - or who ended up there naturally.

    “My experiment intends to make me immortal - the perfect scientist, able to learn for hundreds of years. The ones that come after me will surpass my potential, but I’ll be the one designing them, and you will certainly not be the subject. I am a bridge to the future, a stepping stone that down the path to perfection. You may lay this stone, but you will not walk the path.”

    “And that is exactly my point. If you act with distain towards the people you are designing to be the future, you miss out on so much promise. But we were designing that very future - I will write an essay or something on why experiments should contribute and scientists should be enhance during my downtime - so are there any other mental experiments?”

    “Excellent. What I am, and what I believe you are, is a Narrator. Narrators channel Chaotic Light - pure creativity, essentially - and can use it to do practically anything. Most Narrators alter the nature of reality itself, and Narrate themselves further abilities like perceiving the true nature of the Thread - and of course, they can mind control people, create planets, clone themselves, and basically anything else they want. In ordinary circumstances, Narrators don’t have to worry about running out of power, but we can be countered by beings of similar power, and can’t make truly fundamental items like Plotblades or Fundamental Essences.” Rebus gave his monologue some time to sink in. Meat had been expecting exactly such a reaction. “Is the talking of high! Am the having of sharp, elbrag. Ffortress, unmarket. Tennis analogies, moon fur.” Meat blinked at his own devolving communication, then leapt into the air and clobbered an invisible snake with a piano frying pan.

    “Is the mission necessary? You’ve heard my ideas - imagine what you could do with dozens like me, sharing thoughts and knowledge between each other through telepathy.”

    “I could help you decide - you seem like a Narrator, and if you are one I can help you learn what your powers can do.” “Concealing this man’s numerous crimes!”

    “Part of my own experiment was an attempt to increase creativity. I think it’s a good idea to make researchers experiments and experiments researchers, actually - it helps counteract the original position fallacy, if I recall the name correctly.”
  13. Through the Living Heir
    “Yes!” Meat said (quite loudly), “I will help you get away with your numerous crimes!”

    Meat the Minstrel bounded up to him. “Hiiiii there! You’re new? Need a lawyer ?” He cackled.

    “It could be a useful avenue to look into, especially if you’re trying to make your own researchers more productive.”

    “Alright… I assume the memory problem is caused by the destruction of neurons in a way that can’t be healed back correctly. Have you tried developing telepathy and memory implanting?”

    “Are you @THE DEMON, or does he just have Authority over you?”

    “Better healing, with more redundancy, and if you can deal with the compatibility problems it can be used for grafts. You can’t come back from being dismembered or burned unless your cells can stay alive and get the necessary energy in the meantime.”

    The evil sandcastle ghost wasn’t actually all that intelligent, so it didn’t care. “Of course not. You’re obviously an Author or something similar.”
  20. Through the Living Heir
    The evil sandcastle ghost was sad again. Rebus was willing to wait.
  21. Through the Living Heir
    “Yes. Are you familiar with the cellular redundancy in sponges? If you cut one to pieces, the cells clump back up to form new sponges.”
  22. Through the Living Heir
    The evil sandcastle ghost was very excited. Rebus, who was also interested in causing trouble and perhaps war, teleported in front of the castle.

    “So my role is to improve this, correct? Sponges or flatworms rather than cnidarians would make a better base phylum, in my opinion.”

    Rebus felt his perception of the world return, though not nearly to the level it would have been before. That was likely for the best. Knowing that Symbol was still distressed, he didn’t say anything as he helped her onto the bird. Rebus could show up. He considered it, weighing the benefits and drawbacks. Hmm, maybe I should give one of them a different name. Though I guess that’s also confusing. Rebus paid whatever it was some tangential attention. Perhaps it would be useful.

    Very well. In exchange for not intentionally explaining things contrary to your wishes, I shall accept the return of my knowledge of posts. Rebus - the shell he had left behind - looked to see what had happened to Bat, both with the teleportation beacon and with Narration.
