Don’t want to make this too stressful for everyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AonEne Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) You meet Oscar Pine in V4C1, but his importance really kicks in in V4C4. So volume four. Until then, you don't have to worry about him. 35 minutes ago, Silva said: I'll try to find one. School libraries exist to serve some purpose, right? How does me taking pictures of every page Yokska is in sound? Not sure how well that would work, but hey, if you can't find it...

+Sorana Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) Just drove by my father and retrieved my copy of Oathbringer and he was like "when will I get it back, I'm in the midst of a battle". And I had to promise to drive by on Sunday again and give it back. Then I got home and found his bookmark. He really is in the middle of Thaylen Field... Now I feel kind of sorry... @Ashspren The quote has to be word by word, or could I maybe change the tense/ adjust the form of a verb, so that it's right grammatically if I have to cut a sentence in half?

Popular Post +Hoiditthroughthegrapevine Posted January 3, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) SETTING: In a theater in the lower levels of Urithiru, the assembled heads of state of Roshar and the cream of Alethi society sit waiting for the first round of the Cosmere Character Roast Tournament of Champions to begin. The soft whispers of behind the hand conjecture ceases as an aged man in robes of orange and white slowly makes his way across the darkened stage. As he reaches the center of the stage a spotrial of diamond white light shines down on him from above, casting dark pools of shadow across the hollows of his eyes.The seemingly animate corpse lifts his face and smiles beatifically as the white light twinkles in his kindly pale grey eyes. Thank you all so much for coming, some of you are positively Radiant (nods to Dalinar, Shallan, Malata and Bridge 4) Forgive my old fingers for drumming In my work, I've scarce made a dent I stand on that bridge between life, and the endless ocean of death* Sadly, it is I who must hold the knife and weep as you breathe your last breath Taravangian violently kicks over two barrels filled with infused garnets, splashing lurid red light across the stage, making his face and robes look like they are soaked in blood. I might have to kill 5 out of 10 to save 1 out of 5 from the voidBut 'tis better for one man to sin than for a people to be destroyed* A smokestone spotrial lights up the seat in the theater next to High Prince Adolin Kholin where a plump Thaylen woman sits. She jumps slightly and shields her eyes from the glare of the turbulently swirling argent light. Ah yes, there sits sweet little Yokska An accessory to a foppish young twit Tell me my brave little tailor what have you done except knit? You gave the Kholinar crew some intel and your home to use as a base But there's one truth to you I can tell though it might be difficult to face The only use for your mindless prattle Would be to bleed you out until you death rattle That's it for you, your round is ova Grab her, Mrall, and send her to Dova An emerald spotrial bursts alight, shining on a seemingly empty chair occupied by a white wig. Now to take down a myth, The Girl Who Looked Up, I'll give it a shot This one's covered in the Diagram with, The Psalm of the Full Chamber Pot "They'll take a girl, an explorer who decided to climb up a wall Then they'll adulate and adore her 'Cuz she wasn't afraid of the fall But what's there to laud in dumb curiosity and pride? I for one will not applaud when they should have just spanked her backside She Unleashed rampant destruction to bring the world what, a little more light? Seems she failed to make the deduction that the status quo was alright." Three spotrials cycling on and off, garnet, topaz and heliodor, paint Taravangian's form as he walks slowly towards the front of the stage. His form flashes red, blue and yellow white, his shadow spins around him as he lurches forward underlit by the the scattered field of garnet spheres. As he reaches the edge of the stage Taravangian slowly raises his hands like a crucified saint and the heliodor spotrial alone shines on him, bathing him in blinding yellow gold light. As he lifts up his head, his cheeks streaked with tears, his shadow slowly revolves towards the spotrial until it stretches out and blankets the audience and two pale eyes appear within the inky blackness of his shadow that is pointing the wrong way. As you can see this is no contest the true game here is the fate of Roshar It is time now that I confessed and told you who some of my friends are The Assassin in White, he worked for me but was alas, an inferior tool The Future, Moleach has let me foresee by means admittedly cruel. Look now at the golden cubes 'round my head, know you what this portends? Opposers of the Diagram should quake with dread Sja-Anat too, is one of my friends (gives a quick nod to his shadow, which winks back at him) Know too that I glory only in saving the remnant of a remnant of a piece Of the sad lot of all human kind and know that my pain for my crimes will not cease I'm a pragmatic man, more so than some And only on certain days could you say that I'm dumb I knew I couldn't beat them, so I had to join 'em to save what I can from my associate Odium So go ahead and curse me as the world is burning I'll shoulder the burden my actions are earning But know as your hypocritical insults are hurledI am the monster who will save this world* *All quotes are from WoK, Chapter 71 Recorded in Blood Edited January 3, 2019 by hoiditthroughthegrapevine 27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Hoiditthroughthegrapevine Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Thanks @Rhapsody and @Sorana, it was actually really fun writing this with the twists. As always thanks for setting this up @Ashspren, really excited to see how this tournament plays out. Can't wait to see your raps Sorana and Silva! and of course, I can't wait to see Zath crank it up to 11 with his Sja-anat roast. Fun times ahead on the ol' shard for sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
