"Ready for the test?" Quote To clarify: If a computer program is controlling the machine, it won't work. If the Kuroboh is controlling it, that's fine. 2 minutes ago, Ookla the BlowUpperOfStuff said: Yeah. That’s… hmm. I hope he’s okay…she cast a concerned glance at him. Maybe it was the guy in the room? Maybe he made TAAron forget? “Oh yeah! Let’s do it!” Haly crouches by the creature for a moment and ruffled its fur. “It was nice knowing you.” I wish I could ask him myself. I wonder if his amnesia can be cured without healing his soul. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that doesn’t help with amnesia. I bet the spike has something to do with this! I wonder if there’s a way to get it out—a special acid he could swallow or something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote To clarify: The spike has nothing to do with it, except it means he already had very small amount of soul damage before his incident. It grants him the ability to store mental speed. You really should read Mistborn to know how all this works, by the way. no pressure Maybe... Just now, Ookla the Untitled said: "I-yeah. Let's activate the machine."

"Because you were really good with knots before you lost your memory, of course." Nameless walked over to the machine and fiddled with it, making a shushing gesture towards Haly before she could protest. "There, it's disabled. Don't worry about activating the thing; just make sure that knot's good and tight." Nameless smiled encouragingly. I hope this works. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cautiously, TAAron approached the rope, grabbing both ends and bringing them together. Awkwardly, he began trying to tie them together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
