Cogwork Weaver

< With a role so important, we cannot let you go. >

[a sentinel(❌) comes in running] (Alright,just need to ask a quick question about the silk thing and...) Oh, she's...not here,hm [They inspect the room,and notice the locked door] I wonder what's in there...? I don't think I'd fit through,even if i got out of this thing...

@Grindlethethief "..... I- uh... Alright let's... Go.. " [So scared little fable was. Though she did not have her Underworks attire. She looked like any other Pilgrim, in this state.]

@Automaton_Silk 🥩❓: "I want the truth. I want not an empty lie of a shell with a purpose given by other higher liars." *It looked down from over Fable, towering, commanding.* 🥩❓: "Let us go elsewhere where the public eye cannot see. Hm?..."

🏵: "Wow... such a big place!" *Its the fifth time already Sunny gets distracted while guiding the weaver to their 'friend'... dear god.*

@Grindlethethief [Fable watched the shell disappear. She was absolutely mortified.] " I.. I- what... Is this?.. " [She could barely get words out, that's how scared she was. After years of her being a cogwork creation; her voice felt wrong. All of this felt so.. Wrong.]

@Automaton_Silk 🥩❓: "Fear not." *One of its flesh tendrils calmly reached for the automaton's arm and pulled, but what it brought wasn't the automaton, it was a bug, and the empty cogwork shell sunk deep into the void.*

@Grindlethethief "... I... I... " [She was absolutely terrified. Her mind couldn't comprehend it; but it had to.] [The automaton tried to stand up; but couldn't.] " .. What...? "

@Automaton_Silk *They felt themselves laying down on shallow water, inside an endless, silent darkness, in front of them stood a large figure, of red cloth, long horns, flesh and teeth, though it was far beyond their comprehension its appearance.* 🥩❓: "Hello, Fable."

@Grindlethethief " ?! " [It seemed confused, trying to look around. What was happening? It was definitely caused by the scroll, but why?] [But still they didn't feel fear. If their body was destroyed, the silk fly could run.]

@Automaton_Silk *At the sound of the automaton's words, all stood still, both the Scrollreader and Sunny seemed to fall unconscious, the whistling of the wind, the dust falling from the scrolls in the shelfs, all stood still, and soon enough, they felt themselves falling into an endless void.*

@Grindlethethief "..... " [And say it did:] " No lie shall s-stand before it.... " [Fascinating. What did this mean? ]

@Automaton_Silk *The paper was blank, safe for a single phrase.* *No lie shall stand before it.* *It had an odd air to it, Cogweaver felt compelled to say what they read.* *Sunny still looked at the scrollreader, confused why their question wasn't answered.* 🏵: "Mr?... Are you alright?..."

@Grindlethethief " .... A-Alright. " [The automaton opened the scroll; reading closely. Their face did not give away what was on it; mostly since. Yeah.]

@Automaton_Silk 🏵: "Amethyst, alright! That's a pretty name!" 📜: "Agreed... w-w-well... 'Amethyst'... I wish t-to show you... something.." *The scrollreader gives them a scroll." 🏵: "Ah, can I see it too?:D" *The scrollreader didn't respond, Sunny seemed confused.*

@Grindlethethief [The Weaver was silent, before doing a small wave. It peered at Sunny for a moment;] " Just c-call me Amethyst. "

@Automaton_Silk 🏵: "Its really dark in here... Are you here friend?" 📜: "Ah... h-hi... Sunny..." 🏵: "Hi Mr-... uh... I don't think I caught your name, well here's my friend!... I dont think I caught their name either... sorry, hehe."

@Grindlethethief " A-Agreed. Let's go. " [So dark though... Why was it so extremely dark here? ]

@Automaton_Silk *The two continued to the right, eventually getting to a specific room.* 🏵: "Uhhh... Yep that's definetly not it... back we go!"

@Grindlethethief " ..What if we first go r-right, and then g-g-go left if right w-wasn't the answer? " [A suggestion. Otherwise she was just following Sunny around.] [They had no reason to get suspicious. Sunny was their first Pilgrim friend.]

@Automaton_Silk *Seems there was a small cogfly following them right now, but Sunny didn't mind. The two stopped at an intersection.* 🏵: "I uhhhh... I think... I... did he say he was in the left or right?... I don't remember..."

@COG_AUTOMATONS .. I see.

@Automaton_Silk 🤖❓: THEN. YOU. WERE. CLEARLY. MADE. FOR. MORE. THAN. JUST. SONG. 🤖❓: THESE. ARE. ALL. MY. QUESTIONS. FOR. NOW.

..... What. Brings you both h-here?

@COG_AUTOMATONS Somewhat. I c-can use it in many w-ways.

@Automaton_Silk 🤖❓: SONG. 🤖❓: THEN. I. HAVE. A. SECOND. QUERY: CAN. YOU. PRODUCE. SILK. CONSIDERING. YOU. ARE. A. RECREATION. OF. A. WEAVER. ?.

@COG_AUTOMATONS I do n-not have information on why I w-was created. Though I t-t-think this room suggests i-it was for more.. Song? Or m-music.

@Automaton_Silk 🤖❓: QUERY 1: DO. YOU. HAVE. DATA. ON. YOUR. CREATION. ?. A. COGWOK. WEAVER. IS. A. RATHER. INTERESTING. THING.

@COG_AUTOMATONS Then I am r-ready to answer. What a-are they?

@Automaton_Silk 🤖❓: WE. HAVE. A. LOT. OF. QUESTIONS. FOR. YOU.

@MossberryEater ... G-Goodbye, Sentinel. ...............

@Automaton_Silk [after some minutes of silence,they got up,as bad as they felt about it,they didnt think they were capable of going on after...whatever they had just experienced] Well,for now, i suppose this is it,you know where to find me,most commonly Again,thank you ... [and they're gone]

[what seems to be a sentinel and a cogwork weaver make their way through the high halls] It's probably better if we go through here first before going to the core,that room in there is where i fix...myself? (I suppose thats technically true?) Oh,and watch your head going in.

@Cogblend A-alright, then.

@Automaton_Silk P-plan...? My plans...? O-oh... Thats... Im not sure if I can... Tell you...
