Her pile of finished books had slowly been growing, and her other pile shrinking. She needed something to do before she finished them all! Quote It's Daryen, I'm pretty sure. I spot Faith waving to me. Perfect! I look around for any sign of one of our chaperones- no trace of a Ghostblood anywhere. I quickly walk over. "Hello Faith! Hey, uh, this is rather sudden but uh are you getting a little... tired of New Luthadel?"

Kelsier smirked, the conversation transmitted to him by the softly vibrating Hordeling resting on the curve of his ear. Of course he’d bugged them. Did they really expect otherwise? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Random Bystander Posted September 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 Lilliana was loving life! (Or is it death, because she died...) She got to read all day, every day. And, to top it all off, she was in the rusting Cosmere! This scenario was basically her dream come true. Although, she did miss church. She had gotten fairly used to the spike in her eye, but is was still fairly disorienting. At least she could read. She heard people talking, and looked up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no way we were sneaking past Kelsier of all people. "To be honest, yeah. An I was thinking, uh, we could go get everyone and ask Kelsier if we could go visit somewhere else!

He trained his memorizing skills, he made a complete Earth-Scadrial calendar comparison - though it was infinitely hard, since stupid Scadrial didn't even have a moon - and he was all too ready to go away. Theoretically speaking. He saw Faith and Dayen standing, both looking somewhat troubled or frustrated. He returned his gaze there and just sat, listening.

She thought it would be most fun to go to Roshar next, even though it wouldn't be as easy to get coins there. Spren bonds sounded cool. Currently she was walking through the city only a little faster than normal people did, looking through shop windows and watching the people. It was... immensely boring, but better than sitting in the library staring at books she'd already read. She headed back towards the library to check in with the others, and see if they were ready to go somewhere else too. On 9/30/2021 at 9:55 AM, Random Bystander said: Lilliana was loving life!

This is just something I would bring up, as I would have most likely had thoughts about this prior to the conversation. We could say that something about Insight's investiture makes it easier for my character to worldhop as a cognitive shadow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Investiture clings to the nearest source; fortunately too - otherwise you’d be dragged across the Cosmere if you became one in the wrong system! ”Lili became a Shadow here, and I used Harmony’s Investiture to do it. So she’s as bound as I am.” Or near enough not to make a difference, Kelsier amended internally. “If you want her to leave with you, then our best option is to figure out how you got here. Travel through the Spiritual Realm seems to circumvent the usual rules.” Not that Kelsier was entirely sure the usual rules applied at all to the Earthers, Cognitive Shadows or no. There was at least a half decent chance they didn’t. But he had no intention of allowing them to consider that - not when they were his best chance of finding a way out of his own predicament. The Earthers weren’t the only ones who wanted to see the Cosmere. Edited October 6, 2021 by Kingsdaughter613 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
