Or perhaps you don't really even care. You've barely met the boy. Come now, he isn't worth it. What's the use of a good conscience if it's pinned to a corpse? "I won't stop trying to save him just because you don't want me to. You shouldn't have spoken like this, or I might have assumed he'd simply gone insane." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Aspiring Archivist any Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 Just now, Nameless said: "I won't stop trying to save him just because you don't want me to. You shouldn't have spoken like this, or I might have assumed he'd simply gone insane." Using as strong of a push as he could with so little thread to work with, the manipulator jerked Nameless' head to the side. Of course, now that he knew it could happen, the man could resist such attempts quite easily. He wouldn't know that, however. Ah. You've been too close, for too long. Soon I'll have you as well, my weaver friend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranryu she/her Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 Quote Ok, what the heck is going on? There are too many subplots going all at once. 11 hours ago, The Halcyon Girl said: Gotcha Haly: “That’s okay. We’ll go to Xairim and get an Anglika. Hurry!” Sprints toward the mountain Haly: looks at her, concerned “No… Ranryu, you’ve been acting odd. Are you okay?” Where are we? How did you get us here? "I just... followed the trail. Doors and breadcrumbs." Please, I don't want to strain your soul more by fighting you, but you need to let me drive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll kill you. Better yet, I'll kill him. I have him, Nameless. Haly: “We… we won’t let that happen.” Takes a deep breath “Look, there they are.” A girl with dark black hair in ringlets is running with a boy with sandy brown hair They stop next to them “What can we do?” Haly: pleading “What’s wrong with him?” Boy: “Hang on.” Kneels next to TAAron, places a hand on TAAron’s chest, and closes his eyes Opens them “Standard coma. Nothing Isadore can’t fix. But…” frowns “Theres somebody controlling him. Hold up, lemme go to the dreamspace. This may take a while.” He closes his eyes again Inside TAArons head, a string of consciousness is tugged to another place, beyond the realm of thought between dreams and reality It appears to be a valley of rolling hills The boy (Hawthorne) watches him expectantly 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medium he/they Posted October 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 12 hours ago, The Wandering Wizard said: Emma grins. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure that your uncle is still confused in the forest." Emma's hands warm at Calano's touch and she pulls him onto her lap, and she vibrates with joy. The wind changes, the trees shift, they crackle and pop, grappling, branch on branch. The clouds tumble and the roar of thunder zooms into the forest. The creature begins to run away from the shifting landscape. Calano grins. "We'll explain what happened. Although, he might have left because for him it's been years. Not that I care," Calano said, leaning in closer, "He can wait longer." @The Bookwyrm The creature chitters in a beckoning manner, as if telling Bookwyrm to follow him, and escape the changing landscape, the danger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really good healers would probably be able to detect spiritual stuff like what's going on with Ranyru, but Nameless isn't that good. He could probably detect her whole dying thing though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
