A weevil?

@Spiritblitz

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

Weaver. Instead of traveling the sands, they see time as an intertwined quilt of countless threads. But put simply, another administrator.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

A favor for the council of water, I presume?

@Techspert

Awwww, do you have a new disciple? That's so cute.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*opens my mouth then looks confused*
Healthy? That’s a first. Doesn’t really feel like a compliment.

@Spiritblitz

It's full, has a good shine to it, and not even a hint of split ends. You must take good care of it.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

What is a weaver doing here? You don't have any business interfering.

@Techspert

I'm just returning a favor. A more interesting question is why this brought you here.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

*subtly stands at ready*

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Oooh! Love the pink hair!

@Spiritblitz

*Runs my fingers through a handful behind my head*
Aw, thank you! I love yours too—it looks so healthy.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

*follows while checking my equipment, I make a saddened face when I look at my sniper holster before putting it back*

@Spiritblitz

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

*We enter a field with muted, darkened colors, with all plants in sight completely unmoving, and the remaining sand of the desert blows away behind us, leaving just the current reality*

@Techspert

*Stands in the midst of the field stuck in time, knitting together two pieces of fabric*
Two travelers of sand, huh? To whom do I owe the honor?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Memory>

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*After several agonizing minutes, gathers the strength to pull myself the few millimeters above the river, still suspended by the boat over its surface, then yanks myself into the hull, gasping for breath*

@Techspert

Look at you, you did it!
*The thread resubstantiates itself, zipping away from you and connecting to the other end*
But now that you've been baptized by the river, what's next for you?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*The thread dissolution stops when it reaches me, hanging by one arm on the scythe, frozen with the tip of my foot barely grazing the river’s surface*
...
*Scenes, moments, memories, and worlds flash across my pupils and irises all at once*

@Techspert

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Young man: Brave.
Old man: Foolish.

@Memory

Last resort.
*Spins my scissors around on my finger*
He didn’t have a choice. But now comes the interesting part.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Cranes my neck to look at my boat behind me and in a split second decision, bursts into a backwards leap, embedding the point of my scythe into the dull wood of the vessel with a thud, locking it in place and dangling from the handle above the river's water*

@Techspert

*Snips the thread in two, adopting a scarlet hue before dissolving in either direction*
This was fun.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Slides to a stop, still having never left the parallel, and motions forward as if to jet toward you again*

@Techspert

You've run out of time.
*Snips along the path you were standing, materializing a thin thread as it's approached by the scissor pair*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Cuts my own motion short and knocks away one half with my blade while kicking the other out of your hand*

@Techspert

*Grabs onto your foot and pulls myself toward you, hitting you in the stomach with both hands and pushing myself backwards, sending you flying to the edge of the shore*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Forward flips above you, swinging my scythe in front of me and hooking its punctum into your back*

@Techspert

*Twists my body before the blow lands and flings half of the scissors at you, and slices the other half at the air in front of me*
