    Puzzle nodded, considering the conversation over so they could attend to the task at hand. Puzzle did not exist. She felt herself not existing, not being written, and was pretty sure it would continue forever, lost with no powers, no purpose, and no ability to effect anything.

    So unless my intention is to explain things contrary to your desires, I may act as I wish? I would accept that deal. Rebus was… disappointed. Tam had a lot of potential, and he’d invested effort that was now wasted. Without Tam, Bat and even him might suffer the same fate if he did not change the course of the plot. But he would survive; another character would come along soon enough. And then he could truly be the ultimate villain. So would you rather run a different character, or are you trying to cut off your involvement in general?

    My… predecessor interacted with someone like you, but with cookies rather than scones.
  4. Through the Living Heir
    I cannot take that deal. It is far too easy to break unintentionally.

    “Is he permitted to know his experiment?” “I agree. Do you forget new experiences? Perhaps you could be given a journal to remember.”

    Rebus held up a remote, with a bright red button. “I’ll give you one post to return, or I’ll consider you to have chosen the third option.” Rebus stepped closer to Symbol, trying to project support. What is your condition? I might stay this way, get you or her to put my mindset closer to Tam’s.

    Will thought about it. “The amnesia might itself be an experiment - it’s useful for both brainwashing and trauma counseling, and if the memories are transferred rather than erased it has even more applications.”

    “Huh. They tried to give me a perfect memory, but I’m not sure if it worked or I’ve just been practicing.”

    Jack was a little confused. (He was also a steampunk automaton in a suit jacket, but that was unrelated) “I’m Jack…” Heir (aka @Dragonheir), on the other hand, was gone now. That didn’t mean he couldn’t talk, though. I’m the Author of a number of people. Kion, Rebus, Meat, and Jack are the ones I think you’ve met. I’m not actually sure what prize I could give you that you couldn’t duplicate on your own…

    Puzzle could tell she had questions, but those could be answered later. Cole felt good that he was able to fulfill the actions asked of him, knowing but not caring that that wasn’t actually the case. Insanity had advantages, such as ignoring reality. But once he realized he was on the ship, he began to panic. Was there still time? Had he ran yet? He tried to look at the things that made up his surroundings, not because he needed the information, but because the power was from Calm, and he needed that mental state if he wanted to save the other carpenters. Puzzle wondered if Enocs could read scone-related thoughts. She remembered Rebus interacting briefly with a cookie-man, and thought perhaps this person was also a slightly altered clone of a TLT character.

    “A sword - molecular cutting, self replicating ‘poison’, and nanoscale materials, if you’re wondering.” ”What sort of power?” Puzzle asked, wondering if it would charge her nanomachines. Puzzle considers striking at them, but decides that is a poor choice. I did!
  12. Through the Living Heir
    Alright! Winning is a pretty good trade, anyway. What do you want me to do next? Puzzle coalesced a thin - but deceptively strong and sharp - blade into her hand. It was most of the nanomachines she had free, but a weapon would be valuable. Cole, who was next to him (I think) provided backup whistling.

    Great! This cloak is one of your clothes now, here you go! He put the cloak down on the ground. Can I borrow your cloak? “I would say yes.” Puzzle began to follow Evee through the water.
  14. Through the Living Heir
    "Excellent." Puzzle returned the handshake.
  15. Through the Living Heir
    Yup, and then you'll give me powers and make me less insane! Or more, it depends. But my cloak is yours now, I hope you like it! "Of course. If we can reach the Beyonder, we can both pass this test - an alliance is better for our chances."
  16. Through the Living Heir
    "To help you, and receive help in return. My name is Puzzle, and I'd like to offer you an alliance. Only one can win, but if I am the only person you must defeat alone, your chances improve greatly." Puzzle was smiling, friendly but perhaps threatening. Oh, are you a Spirit too? You don't work for Rage, right? Good. You can have my cloak, then!

    Rebus felt helpless. His powers, he did not miss. But the knowledge he should have had stung. Symbol was in pain, and he didn't know what had happened, what memory she was witnessing, so he couldn't help.
  18. Through the Living Heir
    Puzzle watched. She knew these tricks, this posturing. She - Rebus, who she had been - used them. They were the mark of a pretender, though a pretender who certainly held power. This Beyonder might truly hold the position he claimed, but this was still a show, a performance. Perhaps anything more subtle would be simply ignored by those present. The darkness below her would be a problem to bypass without wasting valuable energy. But @IcedOutPenguin had already begun to clear a path, and an alliance would be helpful. She walked carefully over, taking the same steps that being had taken. Cole's fingers were inches away from the Stone when everything went black. But rather than awaken on the ground as he should have, he was in an arena. Calm and Freedom were both silent, so clearly this glowing man was fine to trust. He smiled and took off his cloak. "Glowy man! I have a present for you!"

    Will's grip was firm but not painful. "Did you ask for engagement in the experiments as well?"

    Rebus figured the best thing to do was to wait - he adopted a solemn look and prepared to intervene if necessary.

    Rebus, lacking Thread Perception, had no way to know what was nothing Symbol. He did feel he should recognize the building, but was cut off from the Thread, his Author, and his electronic memory archives. What was left of him that still possessed that capability saw nothing wrong with Symbol’s actions, and knew the pain was necessary.

    Rebus followed as well, on his guard but fairly certain this person would rather take advantage of them or simply get them to go away than to truly attack them.

    “I am Will.” Will put his hand out to shake, understanding that the other subject was ranting more due to frustration than to any fault with him.

    The leftward orb pulsed. “One of these doors leads to safety.” The rightward orb did the same. “If you know this puzzle it should be easy.” “One of us tells only the truth.” “One of us can only lie.” “You get one question.” “If you fail we can kill you.” “Simple,” Rebus said, smiling smugly, “you have been idle. I’ll give you three choices. You may simply talk to me - I have much to say, and as you may have learned I can be quite persuasive. You may get Bat, and do your job. Or you may face the consequences of my frustration - it’s ironic, actually. I don’t think I’ll tell you why, or what those consequences might be.” Whan squeaked. “No! What did you do?” “If you have an alternate route, we would be glad to take it. Her memories have been tampered with, I believe.”

    Rebus flinched, noticing he had a flinch reflex again, but spoke calmly. “We truly intend to simply pass through. I got lost in a portal network.” “Party’s over.” Jack noted. Heir was nowhere to be found, though he had said Bacon won a prize for his guess before he had left. Whan had somehow ended up nearby, and was frankly terrified.
