The Bookwyrm he/him Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 7 hours ago, The Wandering Wizard said: He appears on white ground, the sky is blue with clouds in the sky. The white tiger appears, snarling, and it charges at Bookwyrm. Bookwyrm reminds himself that he isn't here in person, but he doesn't want his mind to be wounded. He disperses himself, temporarily dissolving his figure in the Astral Plane, and lets the White Tiger dive through him. Then he re-forms. Bookwyrm attempts to probe the mind of the White Tiger to figure out why it's attacking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medium he/they Posted September 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 13 hours ago, The Wandering Wizard said: Emma awakes to the ripping of her soul in twain, no darkness to hide in, just a room full of light and mocking voices. Emma closes her eyes and is assulted A boy with a shock of black hair pokes his head into the darkness and extends his hand. Light bathes his face as he smiles at Emma. "Hi I'm Calano. Who are you?" "I'm Emma-" The boy hurries on. "Why are you in a tree?" Emma shrinks down. '"It's where the darkness is." "That's a funny answer. Why would anyone want to hide from the light? It's beautiful up here." "The light is too bright, it's safer in here." The boy cocks his head "Not really." Emma snaps. "You don't know what it is to be burned by the light!" Emma's eyes fly open and she trembles, sweat breaks over her skin. He can't be gone, he he he lives, he MUST! LARK! HE INVITED THE CHICKENS, THE MONSTERS THAT TOOK WIZARD AND NOW MY CALANO FROM ME! Emma yanks on the chains, searing the light into her flesh. She screams, but the voices inside condemn her, again, and again, and again. Wrists blistered, throat hoarse, Emma croaks out "why?" The voices gleefully answer. "You deserved it. You never deserved them." And Emma crumples, her spirit splintering under the crushing weight of loss, despair, and hopelessness.

NameIess Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 Lark was optimistic as he began rebuilding the clinic. The first thing he fixed was the destroyed library, and this time he made sure to put in a state-of-the-art magical fire suppression system to prevent further unfortunate incidents. After that, he took the opportunity to renovate many of the destroyed halls, putting in library outposts to help with the controlled distribution of Sanderson books. After all the fighting, he needed a lot more staff, so he put out a 'help wanted' sign and began taking applications. All in all, things were looking up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bookwyrm he/him Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 As Bookwyrm waited for the White Tiger's response, he checked his mental life line. His body was still unconscious in the basement of the clinic, though he had no way of knowing what was happening out of that small cell. After a quick scan, making sure nothing was too wrong, Bookwyrm turned his attention back to the Astral Plane. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
