Before I met you guys, I was starting to think that the world was hopeless. Now though... well, I made a short story that I think explains how you've changed my perspective. Hide contents The stars watched humanity struggle, writhe, and moan at the ripples coming from their own choices. "Didn't they realize what would come?" Thought the stars, "Didn't they pay attention? How can they be sad at their own choice? Don't they know that they will be gone in the blink of an eye? If any one of us was to go out, they would be worried! But, if their own star died, they would just disappear! And yet... for having lives that are so short, they accomplish so much..." Then the stars realized something about humanity, something they hadn't considered before. Humanity, with its destruction and creation, beauty and death, horror and kindness; humanity has survived several of their eye-blinks. "Ten thousand years or more pass each time we blink, yet now we see Obama, now we blink, now we see trump! What has happened? What has caused this change?" They whisper. And then they discovered a beautiful, terrible, frighteningly amazing truth. The change was humanity. They that seemed so insignificant, so worthless, so meaningless compared to the infinite of the universe; they had, by their very nature, changed the way that the stars perceive time. An infinite of watching and the first thing that any of them truly saw... was humanity on its small blue sphere. "How?!?" They cried, their despairing confusion evident, "How could such small creatures be so impossibly vibrant that they change time itself? How can they make it obey them as they do?" And then a whisper came, a whisper from beyond reality. A whisper from a dying god. "They are because they must be. They are capable of impossible things, they can harness and control light and life and even time itself! All because they are capable of belief. And when one believes, and can harness that belief as mankind does... then one can do anything." And the stars stared in horrified wonder at the tiny, self-destructive race that would rule their future. And they hoped and despaired... and they admired. Thanks to you, THIS is how I now view the world. Thank you all. You have scared me. Now when I look up at the night sky, I will say sorry a hundred times. Oh god. Goh od. Twi has changed her username. Thanks Ookla (the dogged, not the pug whisperer although that's not bad. It's just confusing.) What the abbreviation? What am I thinking? Now there are X Ookla (how to say more than one name, like Sally plural or James plural?)s Edited November 28, 2016 by Ookla the Broken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clockwork Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) I was wondering how many servants my epic would have. Argon had somewhere around a dozen (6 was half), but he also lied about his powers and to seem weaker. So, since he acted less important, I assume he got less servants, but I'm not sure. So how many would he have? Edit: Forgot to say who my epic was. For those who want to figure it out, it's wordplay about "the Demon that rises from the Bottomless Void". For those who just want to know: I'm Chasmfiend Edited November 28, 2016 by Ookla the Endless Forgot Something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted November 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 I think breakingamber meant only the Ooklas involved in this game. Maybe tagging a bunch of people who aren't even involved wasn't the best idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Honor Spren Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) Spoiler Oh hey, it's the Question thread! I haven't been on one of these in a while . . . I think I'd like to come back into the rp (if my 2 posts count as being in it in the first place). It's approaching the holidays, so I'll have more time. But I think I'd need a different character. Magnolia was meh. I have an epic named Lightweaver (guess what her powers are, I'm so original) could I use her? And maybe a different thread besides Astoria too . . . Sorry, I'm rambling.

As things are completed, I plan on putting them up on the Cosmere Fanfic board. Swift as Steel just needs some final revising before it's ready for primetime. The rest is going to get done as it gets done, but I definitely have to get through it all. I need to finish shaking out my rookie writer mistakes on this stuff before I can really start working on original fiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
