Or until someone makes a mistake :)
It's good to see the backpack I left for you is proving useful.
Yes, my thanks for that.

I am declaring my interest and shall make an app at some point.
Is it just me who is looking at this situation and thinking that Kael and this knight could be stalemated in this void until one or both of them die of old age?

Kael isn't particularly concerned about the crossbow shot...with most of the contents of the bag now floating in space around him, the bag is perfectly suited to act as a disposable shield as he maneuvers it to stay in the knight's line of fire. As for his actually fixing his rigidity problem...yes, that would be an annoying set of actions. On the plus side though, the only parts of him that are critical to apply the solvent to are his joints, which should minimize the work. Additionally, there is no gravity here...so he should be able to get some of the stuff out of the can, then maneuver himself to the floating liquid. He sets to the task carefully as he keeps behind his bag-shield, being sure to minimize his profile while he's at it and to keep an eye on the knight so he can keep maneuvering. At least he's a good ways away again, with infinite room to move around. As things are, there is virtually no way for the knight to get a good shot off, and Kael should be able to keep away indefinitely. A good thing, considering the task at hand.

A man's gotta stay in character.
You should probably take care to choose future characters who are less likely to betray their comrades for the sake of a probably crazy and certainly murderous monster with a superiority complex and a desire to kill everyone in her presence...
Of course, should you choose to not choose such, I have a number of other characters who would be very interested in your fellow...who are also faster on the draw.

Kael had been expecting something like the metal coating. He had very much not been expecting to suddenly shoot forward and smash the whole machine, and he certainly didn't expect himself to be flinginhed off in some direction...he didn't even understand where such a word to describe that motion had come from, but he did know that wherever that was, this word seemed to describe his sudden unexpected journey perfectly. At least the metal had stopped before reaching his face or hands, that was the critical element of the plan there. As long as the motion of his entire body was still accomplished via his mind, and he had the use his hands and eyes, he could fix this problem. He drifted himself over to the backpack with the solvent in it, keeping himself oriented with the Pavise knight in view as he...rather awkwardly...fumbled with getting the bag open. As he did that, he tried to think about what went wrong...he had typed in the action, the subject of the action, and the degree to which the action must be accomplished...how is it that something drastically different occurred? Did he have to be more specific, perhaps type it out as one would tell a person to do something instead of how one might envision a magic spell? Of course, he did only have limited experience with such, but still...then there was the knight. If it weren't for being stuck in a blank dimension with his torso covered in un-yielding metal, Kael might find the knight's statement hilarious...hysterically so in fact.
"A game? Toying with people's lives? How about ours? I didn't choose to come here, I didn't want to make enemies, but when you try to kill me, what do you expect to happen but us responding in kind? Don't you understand the concept of cause and effect?"

Hey Terminal...that result seems a bit at odds with the chronal acceleration expected...mind clarifying?
Under the current anticipated/planned situation, I find the first minute and forty five seconds of this video to be quite appropriate.

Kael was already following through with his next move. Though he was now marked invulnerable, and he trusted the system, mere invulnerability wasn't enough to guarantee that he could keep the knight away...more importantly, the crossbow bolts plated one with metal, and while it didn't seem particularly strong and could probably be broken with enough strength, it would still prove a hindrance. However, on one hand, the backpack carrying the anti-metal solvent had by now drifted close enough to reach out and grab. On the other hand, there was a lesson Kael remembered about the different means of enchanting oneself to move faster. One could simply cast a speed enchantment, but to do so meant one also had to increase the speed of their perceptions, otherwise their body would move faster than they can control, or they would not be able to react fast enough to an event for their speed to matter. The other method is to increase the speed of the passage of time on oneself...to their perception, it will be as if time slowed down around them. Forces will still act on them in their own time, such as gravity or being struck with a set force, but everything not part of the spell will move and take effect far slower. And for Kael, who's chiefest need at the moment was time to act, that was perfect.
Chicken? He could play that. Kael ignores the shot, intent on typing out his next command. How nice of the knight to take his time with quips and flairs as he gives Kael lots of time to finish his plan...

Kael's brain was working overtime. Of course, it did this very well...
Resetting it had...what? Turned off his Ethereal sight...given the knight back his shield...had it reset to an earlier point in time? Impossible, that would have changed position too. Reset all con...no, then the knight...irrelevant. What did he know? He knew that apparently this machine responded to commands. Any command? Well, that was the way magic worked...but then, this was more like an enchanted object, so only some commands, whatever was built into it. But then, this thing appeared to have complete control over this entire world, so that was a hell of a lot of "only some commands". It had some sort of conduit running into it, and another linking it to the knight...maybe the conduit was some sort of portal? But then, what was the link to the knight? He needed more time to test, and while the knight's bolts were unlikely to hit him, and...
"No, you won't! You haven't played cards before, have you?"
...but wait, his ethereal sight had been turned off...maybe his power that the machine had said something would take was taken as well? If so, that would be ungood. He needed to test that, but he also needed to make every action count considering the time duress. He wills one of the small rubber balls in his pouches to appear outside said pouch and shoot at the knight, that would be a nice nuisance for him. At the same time...let's try a basic magical command to buy him more time. But computer terms, it had apparently renamed everyone to separate entities...let's see...
In a quick frenzy of movement, his fingers reach out and tap the keys as fast as he could, just in case the knight wasn't bluffing.
