You didn't share the urgency of the others. By all means, Rhyme was telling you to slow down. Take it easy. It needed to be dealt with, though, or it'd take way too much effort later. You flew after the other two, offering a hand to AN when he fell. "We're on Prospit, you can fly. I'd advise it, too. We might need every advantage we can get." You thought for a moment. "If one becomes a Ringwraith in there, TG, you've got point since your time powers give you a pretty solid advantage. AN, you should only engage as a last resort since your powers lean more towards beating the enemy, and we need to be more concerned with surviving. If they don't have the ring, though, you can go full offence." Small tips from Adam came into your field of vision as you talked strategy - Classpects, data on DD and HB, a list of the effecting prototypes, tricks to steal the BQ's ring, how to get PM to act as a Wraith on your side. - Everything you might need, and a little more.

"You got it" Ben said, taking a defensive stance behind Julie. "Do I have permission to engage if, God forbid, Julie or you falls?"
Ben hears a crash from the palace. "Let's go!" He says, getting ready to sprint.

Casually waiting for the strategic talk to conclude, Julie looks at the palace's bloody interiors.
"Is that just me or does anyone else hear the Queen screaming in the distance?"
She floats off over the ramparts through an unsecured window in the general direction of the screaming, indirectly forcing others to follow or else leave her 1v2.

((It's been days I'll doublepost just to kick things off.))
Leading the charge after navigating the maze of hallways, Julie bust over a pile of corpses into the Queen's throne room to reveal...3, no, all 4 top Dersite agents attacking the white queen? When did CD and JN get here? Why are there dozens of regiswords all over the walls and ceiling?!
As Julie started spamming time attacks to make it rain gears against the agency and separate them so they couldn't shadowbox cats everywhere, one of the agents, regisword in hand, dived for the Queen's ring hand as she fluttered to the side, and...

Ben shook off his daze and ran into the palace, only to see Julie surrounded by slightly glowing gears, which were being flung each way, adding to the chaos throughout the room.
Much to his surprise, Ben noticed that the rest of the Dersite Agents had arrived. Ben cast [Living The Dream] and began pulling glass objects out of thin air to hurdle at the attackers.
Whirling around, he saw JN leap forward towards an embattled WQ, slicing downward with his regisword, going in for the ring. "Oh SHIT!" Ben yelled. He focused all his might and mustered forth a huge glass cannon, with a single glass missile.
Taking precise aim, he fired, the missile rocketing towards JN. It missed by a hairs breadth and took out the castle wall in the background. Ben fell to his knees, his pluck spent, powerless to stop what was going on around him.

"I implied you were supposed to save the cannon!" Julie said offendedly, rising in the air and pelting Droog with tiny bullet-like gears so he couldn't impale her on the red diamond spear with a regisword duct-taped to the tip to make it a crude glaive. "Now we'll have to use some weird creative variant of a mortar fan meat grinder to turn them into a bloody weaponized mash! Except THAT won't work because I came up with it instead of you! Ugh!"
And then she noticed the queen's ring had been freed from the queen, who had noticed a particularly pluck-costly gear conk Jack in the head and, chair and far wall destroyed by the chaos, decided to make a break for the new exit with her bought time while Jack was preoccupied with a trio of Skaian heroes invading the throne room. The ring flew through the air (possibly with however much of the WQ had been brought with it ((to be determined out of character))), and began to descend to one of the agents. The rest presumably headed towards the heroes as the fight really got started, regisword(s) in hand(s)...
Julie was running out of pluck because she sucked at Muse of Time-ing so badly, with barely enough left for a few more shots and an emergency timejump...

Things were getting heated. Really heated. Unacceptably heated. You whisperings went into overload as a response to the sudden burst of chaos and intensity. Everyone needed to chill. Really chill. Everyone, as far as The Shade was concerned, needed to be put on ice for a little bit. There was only one way to make that clear to everyone involved. [Winter is Coming]

Julie went into absolute chillvana because fuck doing anything there's Rhyme everywhere, but Lillian bust in and with colossal effort forced Julie to sluggishly float towards AN with the intent of rescuing him and getting out per FAQstructions.
"Alright, mission failed." Lillian said slowly through Julie's increasingly freezing dreamself and barely dodging a halfhearted glaive slash by a flashstep which was really more a burst of regular-speed movement at how things were really wintering up. "I get it, let's chill the fuck out, but let's do it somewhere else. Do you know any magicant entrances or are we going to have to fly?"

Ben felt incredibly relaxed. The ground was covered with a dusting of light snow. Looking around, he saw FC surrounded by a white aura. It was kind of scary, but Ben didn't mind.
He saw Julie jumping towards him, a look of distress on her face. "Heeyyyyyyy Juuuuuulieeee" Ben slurred through the rhyme haze. Before he could say anything else, he felt a sheet of cold pass through him. Colder than [Winter Is Coming], colder than anything he had felt before. It felt like... Death.
Ben fell to the floor, the regisword sticking out of his back. Ben turned his head, he saw DD reach down and grab the sword. Ben's vision went white and then there was nothing.

Julie's dreamself jumped in time on Lillian's orders, queued up for hours of work and partially out of normal time flow. Safeties off, catapulted into the past far enough that Prospit's orbit wouldn't clip her. In medium empty but for the air, she flew for Derse, the Beat monitoring her actions and telling her exactly when she needed to get there. A work like this was a bit big, but what in here could extend someone else's time more than making them into a god for the rest of the timeline?
Reaching Derse with plenty of time to spare, she flew into the window, the one yellow-covered thing in a sea of purple and black. She looted AN's dreamself from his dream-bed in the past, and moved to the crypt, the glassy slab, perfect.
The Beat said there were a few minutes left before death happened, so....Well, decency was kind of a rare commodity anyways. Lillian giggled inappropriately with Julie's dreamself, stripping the soon-to-be-god for later sanity reasons.
Time passed. Death occurred. A god had arisen in the heart of Derse's moon.
A god who would probably be really happy for a spare set of non-transparent clothing right now.

Ben felt like he had awoken from a long, dreamless slumber. He looked around, and saw he was in a spherical room with purple walls. Sitting up, he saw that he was on a clear slab made of what looked like glass.
Oh fuck. Ohhhh fuck.
Ben began hyperventilating, his eyes wide as he watched his chest rise and fall underneath his transparent outfit.
"So are you going to stop flipping out or do I have to keep staring at this dumb purple wall when I could be doing paperwork?"
Ben jumped at the sound of the two tone voice resonating from the behind him. Turning around, he saw Julie floating in the air nearby, holding a set of dream clothes in one hand.
Ben reached over and grabbed the clothes out of Julie's hand, and slipped them on. "Ok, so first off, thanks for, you know, saving my ass. Second, what happened? Where's FC? Did the agents get the ring?"
Ben floated slowly into the air, worried, but also enjoying the feeling of being a god once more.

"Agents have the ring," Jul(Lillian)ie said boredly, Julie texting on an offhand golden phone. "Or, they do now anyway. Julie's the one with the time power, I'm just piloting. FC's dreamself is alone with the top agents, but she's in full Rhyme mode so she could probably find somewhere else to chill while they're all frozen with 'chill out' to the everything. Also, can I fog you later? Anyways we should probably get going and see how the wraithuation is going. This way to the egress!"
With that, Julie's dreamself did the floaty thing and started flying past the purple chains to the crypt exit, waiting for AN to follow.
Julie and just Julie had a thought. "You know, I should probably tier if Prospit's not gonna be a safe place to dream. Should I have the Secret Consort fly me to my quest bed and kill me?"

"Sure," Ben said. "It sounds like a good idea to me. But if you're going to be indisposed, I'm gonna fly ahead and lend a hand to FC."

"Right then, see you from Skaia soon. Lemme get the Secret Gentleman awake and we'll have me bedded and dead in a bit."
Once they reached the surface, Julie split off for LOTAC in order to retrieve herself to kill herself in order to not die as much.

Ben bade a quick farewell to Julie and flew over to two of the largest towers he could see. He cast [Living The Dream] and summoned a giant rubber band. He threw it between the towers (jeez glass bent surprisingly well) and flew into it as fast as he could.
He canclled his momentum as the band stretched back incredibly far, then let physics do the work. He was slingshotted off of the moon and straight into the central medium.
He angled his body as Prospit came into view.
