    Rebus's smile was friendly, not vicious or mocking. "This is, in a way, my fault, so I can take it off your hands if you would like."
  2. Through the Living Heir
    The cut sealed itself up. Rebus teleported to Tam herself (@Through The Living Glass). "I take it you've received a shard as well."
  3. Through the Living Heir
    Rebus folded the paper and teleported it to his potentially hazardous material area, then intentionally pricked his finger with the shard. He also sent out a clone or two to collect those shards Tam was running away from, assuming they were still there.
  4. Through the Living Heir
    I'm guessing I'll find out what state he's in later. Is the shard sharp? Rebus touched it to the shard, committing the script to memory in case it was somehow damaged.
  5. Through the Living Heir
    I (and Rebus) would agree, though backing up confidence with steamrolling past other's powers in not nearly as impressive as following the rules and still tying your opponent in knots. Rebus grinned, the paper being picked up the ground and placed in his hand. "Let's see if I am correct."
  6. Through the Living Heir
    Magnificent Bastard. Platypus should perhaps be worried, though it seems he's willing to brute force his way through any interaction with Rebus. He did, yes (unless touching it did something to him before he could).
  7. Through the Living Heir
    Rebus's plotblade began to glow. The other copy of Rebus touched the shard, sending out a tiny thread of raw Narration.
  8. Through the Living Heir
    Rebus annihilated the shard that had supposedly entered his sanctum.
  9. Through the Living Heir
    That was impossible. The anti-teleportation measures around Rebus's moon were so strong even he could not teleport there, and there was even more security around the core. The copy by the corrupter picked up the shard with utility fog, wondering what it could actually be.
  10. Through the Living Heir
    Not Nullite or Mordite, then - though of course part of his theory was that there could be many forms of the fundamental metals. He checked to see if every clone of him had received a similar shard - the teleportation shielding would prevent it from being sent to his moon, but there were several clones out and about.
  11. Through the Living Heir
    Rebus immediately took samples of it using utility fog, summoned his Plotblade, and teleported his armor to him.

    You'd have to fight Onyx for it (this will not work - you will cease to be canon), but it would be funny. The wiki will not be of very much use to you at the moment - xino's blog had astronomically more information, unless you want to know about specific characters played by the people who edited it. I'll PM it to you, though.

    "I did not know your name until just now, actually. As for my core, it existed before I did - my body came into existence around it, because of it." Rebus's eyes were odd - they had orange pupils, and rather than reflecting light they seemed to be infinite depths.
  14. Through the Living Heir
    Alright, then. Rebus chuckled. "I suppose so." Alright, then. Rebus appeared next to the Corrupter. "Hello. You may call me Rebus. May I have your name?"
  15. Through the Living Heir
    Platypus (well, at the moment Ookla the Arbiter) explained that Thread Perception isn't even a power Narrators necessarily have. But there is the Plotblade Lore, which allows whoever has it to change canon...
  16. Through the Living Heir
    Rebus frowned, teleporting an antimatter explosive with a dead man's switch to the teleporter. True - how good was the illusion of it? Alright, that works with me. Alright - I simply misunderstood you then.
  17. Through the Living Heir
    Hmm... I'm confused by why Platypus would do such a thing, but ok. Yes, the clone is certainly dead. Rebus himself, though, cannot be instakilled by killing a clone he specifically separated from his soul to avoid being instakilled. What I meant is that the reaction one person would have to being stabbed in, say, the hand with Mordite is similar to what a hive mind might experience from one body dying from it. Some sort of corruption effect, and certainly no healing from it, but they don't all drop dead because that body isn't the core (Rebus himself has a prime body that killing with Mordite would result in his death, but good luck getting to it). Meat the Minstrel is a fragment of Bacon's memories that were lost somehow. They ended up in the World of Dreams, fused with a fever dream (I was legitimately ill when I came up with the idea), and came back as a twisted version of him. Alright... He'd know the clone was dead, of course, but I can leave him ignorant of the method of death (though there's not much else that can instantaneously kill every nanomachine in his body simultaneously). The clone was an emulation of Rebus's personality, because he guessed he'd be cut off and thus unable to control it (he was watching through Thread Perception, but you could have cut that off too). The precaution was to simply leave his soul out of the clone, to prevent magical manipulation of the rest of him. Rebus teleported a new clone to the old clone's corpse (or more accurately, the teleporter on his belt). He wasn't sure Platypus was there anymore, but he spoke anyway."Well, Platypus, that was a rather rude way to treat a possible business partner. I'd been going to help you find the Plotblades, you know."

    Wait, doesn't Nullite cut magical signals (and prevent phasing, but that's irrelevant)? Even if a clone was connected, wouldn't it be closer to a limb; unhealable and maybe spreading with time, but not immediately lethal? If this is how this works, does Rebel (a rogue clone of Rebus) die too? If I killed Meat the Minstrel would Bacon die too? If I killed someone with Nullite while they were speaking telepathically with someone, would that kill or harm the second person? If this is how it's supposed to work, Rebus should simply be dead, but I have some questions (and the precautions I said he took were explicitly for this situation, though of course he hasn't actually tested them).
  19. Through the Living Heir
    Honestly, if Rebus's powers abruptly cease existing and he needs to make another core, all the better! I would make a meme about us derailing this thread, but I'm not sure what format to use.
  20. Through the Living Heir
    "Unfortunate - I need to find some if I'm ever going to get rid of my powers." Rebus did not particularly care, since his clone body was entirely untethered from his soul, and hence of no real value or risk to him.
  21. Through the Living Heir
    Stable is the wrong word. Self perpetuation at a faster rate than its destabilization is the behavior Rebus wants - if you've done things with cellular automaton, it would be like an oscillator pattern.
  22. Through the Living Heir
    Seems perfect for Rebus's purposes - get some unique tricks, lose some plot-compromising omnipotence, discover something nobody else has. Making chaotic behaviors from orderly interactions and orderly behaviors from chaotic interactions is a facet of emergence - if you look at something like Conway's Game of Life - or better yet, Brian's Brain - you can see simple rules turning into chaotic messes, and the Thread itself consists of chaos interacting with itself until it became orderly. Light Darkness would probably fall apart in a second, but Chaotic Order feels like it could continue to exist, and even stabilize itself through its powers of emergence, which would itself be emergence.

    "I would, in fact. If the only opportunity I may have to study Luxite is to face you wielding it, I shall gladly take it." Rebus's white longcoat stiffed with nanomachines, though the man within it or the air surrounding it could have done the same.
  24. Through the Living Heir
    Rebus's smile became almost mocking. "I would disagree. I wished to speak with you on a perfectly legitimate scientific matter, and even now I am in no danger. Have I truly done anything to you to deserve 'Vengeance'?"
  25. Through the Living Heir
    Rebus mirrored the smile, waxing as it waned. "I can do no such thing. You have placed me within a box of Nullite, and even I cannot escape such a thing without preparation."
