Some of the ones I know about are names Vengeance, Unity, Drama, Analysis. Stuff that’s a part of Plot, the more essential the more powerful, in general. I think Vengeance got an extra dose of power despite being fairly nonessential, but the others I’ve seen seem to follow the rule.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequence she/they Posted February 23, 2023 Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 Everyone nodded, then cleared their throat. "I bet 'guy who's name we're not supposed to say's Plotblade is something dumb, like 'Dialogue'." Everyone frowned. "That wasn't very funny." Everyone sat there for a moment, thinking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the second most powerful (kinda. Depends on the state of the thread). It was Plot's (P) sword that he used, thus it got the most. The Blades split after that. And I've heard that the blade he has is "Suddenly Pineapples." It is the most powerful as the Suddenly part fits with the chaos of the thread, and the Pineapples part obviously means Plot-induced-non-essential-adequate-powerful-pranking-leading-edible-stuff, which has to do with plot! Plus it shows up in almost every plot." The ally takes a deep breath. "Okay, we can go now." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tocf appeared in Unreal Space from wherever he had gotten off to. "Huh. Nerdy always said that while Vengance was quite powerful, it wasn't always useful. They said that it was kind of a one-trick pony. I remember them mentioning Analysis as more powerful, as it's much more versatile. Anyway, Suddenly Pineapples is the undisputed most powerful Plotblade. I read a lot on this subject." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes close to Suddenly Pineapples at times, but never surpasses it." Leave my blade alone! It was Plot's sword, it would be close to the most powerful, if not the most (but since that is Suddenly Pineapples, it will have to settle for second). So there.

"Well, the existence of Plotblades clinches it, doesn't it? The only explanation for their existence is that there was a guy named Plot. However, when Plot got shattered, a lot of his power was lost, actually creating TLT. That's why this thread exists, but it does mean that we can't revive Plot without destroying the thread." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
