    I’m interested, though I can’t guarantee how much time I can and do devote to the project. One scene idea I had is for the viewpoint character to be first learning magic, guided by a mentor character.

    Template tries to squeeze the ground with the few remaining tentacles. Rebus nods thoughtfully. “Yes. That is what I want - so I can get what I want. What do you want?” Rebus grins. “Did you hear that the stolen Plotblades seemingly have not been returned?”

    JAMES, if I recall correctly. He’d have internet connection, and could probably brute force or spoof at least a portion of the security system. The blueprints might help find the teleporter.
  4. Through the Living Heir
    Template nods, less dolphin-like than before. “Good to know. There is probably someone who can help you. I have not been here long.” Template’s shell becomes gold. “Everything is meaningless. What should I do, then?” Rebus watches the fight, but it’s over before his Author returns. He grits his teeth, but returns to his projects. The beacons would tell him if he was wanted.
  5. Through the Living Heir
    Yes, we’ll vote for the next setting a little after the current one ends.
  6. Through the Living Heir
    Rebus nods at the feeling, then waits. Template, currently a rock-dolphin-squid thing, is there. “Hello. I am Template.” Unfortunately I have to get on another plane, so Template will be a bit unresponsive. Template waves. “Can I have all the money in the world too?”

    Rebus, back in his moon, shrugs. “That’s understandable. Nobody did accept my invitations, either.” He attends to his plans and foreshadowing, the other copies of him doing the same. One frowns at a screen. “Our Author made a mistake. We still need Onyx, but Omen is a different person.” Rebus sends out his desire to find the Dreamsmith, though he knows his Author will be on a plane flight for the near future. @NameIess

    Rebus looks back, unfazed. “Good. You can see, it seems. I wish you luck once again, though I suspect it will not be very helpful. And once again, I apologize that this happened to you.” Before he gets into the water, Rebus constructs a small device and hands it to him. “This is a teleportation beacon. If you need me, pull it apart and twist; I’ll be sent a message. It should be effectively indestructible, but if you do somehow break it, it will probably explode. Farewell.” He blows apart into utility fog, though that does wait for a response.

    She sighs. “I hope you’re wrong about that.”
  10. Through the Living Heir
    Rebus’s mouth twitches. “I wish you luck. I would give you more assistance, but you’re causing my nanomachines to lose power. I’d like to avoid you destroying the containment field for a larger amount of antimatter.”
  11. Through the Living Heir
    Veer hears it, but is still several hallways away. He places his circlet on his head, ready for battle.
  12. Through the Living Heir
    Rebus sighs again. “I’m sorry. I failed, and you’ve paid the price. Who was the Narrator, so I can at least vindicate you?” He tries to bring in more nanomachines, to at least determine what is wrong. Maybe this no-longer-convenient person could actually be saved.
  13. Through the Living Heir
    Dr. Warren nods. “We’ll try to get you back to them.”
  14. Through the Living Heir
    He shrugs. "I have a few plans... The foreshadowing and conspiring should be first." Rebus sighs. "I don't think natural Ennullers are quite like this. If they are, they can probably Ennull the pain away."
  15. Through the Living Heir
    Rebus constructs another piece of paper, and a pencil. He hands them to the man. Well, Rebus did molecularly bond it to his cells, which was perhaps not the best decision. "I believe he did become an Ennuller. But it isn't all bad. He should have the power to save his family, and I didn't give you Ennuller powers, which I imagine you would not want."
  16. Through the Living Heir
    Rebus blinks. “You’re an Ennuller now, I think. You just cut off my ansible connection, which is impossible. Congratulations!” Just in case, he sets up several precautions if the man Ennulled something important. “You’re supposed to speak in reverse. Remove sound at different rates, so what’s left over is your voice.”
  17. Through the Living Heir
    Rebus smiles. “That sounds perfect.”
  18. Through the Living Heir
    Rebus grits his teeth. “Capital letters. It is the Nullite after all - he’s a broken Ennuller now.” The screens pop up again, and the nanomachines tear the Nullite back out, then put the convenient person’s body back the way it had been.
  19. Through the Living Heir
    Rebus looks alarmed. "That shouldn't hurt - what did I do wrong?" A ring of screens appears around him, and he troubleshoots, stopping the utility fog but leaving it where it was. He mutters to himself, wondering. "The Nullite? Maybe... The fog? It shouldn't do anything - just move through pores. Of course! The Author doesn't know that." Shutting down all but one screen, he leaves the Nullite in place, but prepares nanomachines to remove it. "Let's give it a second; it'll retcon, probably. We'll likely want a new control, if this one happens to be a disguised Narrator or mostly a Narrative construct. I don't want Bat in pain, but if my Author retcons, this could be useful."

    All that's visible is Nullite ink being lifted out of the bottle and dispersing into the air, eventually only visible as a slight darkness. The fog itself is also barely visible, catching beams of light like dust. The Convenient Person's skin looks a bit darker, but nowhere near the level of the tattoos. Using the edges of the paper experiment, Rebus has figured out the most diffuse distribution that still blocks Narration. @NameIess
  21. Through the Living Heir
    Rebus nods curtly, a bit distracted. "I will, though Bat needs to give me the ink first. Actually, I'll go along with it, and if Bat refuses to give me the ink, none of this will have happened." Rebus's utility fog sweeps towards and permeates the convenient person. It brings the ink with it, and bonds it to the convenient person's cells on a molecular level, lacing cell membranes and proteins with the Nullite. The skin-level protections would fade from exfoliation, but the process was incredibly thorough.

    “It does. But there aren’t other options; benefiting from someone else’s quasi-mind control and/or blackmail is the best we can do.” He destroys the paper, splitting the molecules up so he can Narratively screen out the Nullite. “Shall we begin?” Rebus furrows his brow. “I’ll assist you. It’s been forever since a true Narrator duel, and this one seems bad, in several respects.”
  23. Through the Living Heir
    “We need to do it, though it will not hurt. I’m not planning to use mere needle for this.” Rebus raises an eyebrow. “That is convenient. Author, may mine have this one, or do you have a plan?” He turns to the person. “Do you truly want this? Do you remember anything?”
  24. Through the Living Heir
    Rebus waves a hand, and utility fog cuts separate the three colors. He moves the white away, and Narrates it blue as another test. “Should we try skin next? Tam wondered what Nullite tattoos would do to a Narrator, although I’d be a horrible control.” He looks around for more people.
  25. Through the Living Heir
    Veer hears the noise, and turns around, running towards the commotion. He stays in the air longer than he should, redirecting his own falling forwards.
