"I felt him reject another power." Alph says solemnly, shaking his head, "I do not think rejection would be wise. These powers are not mindless. They will remember."
"I think it may be possible to take more than one power. What will happen... I don't know."

6 minutes ago, CoderDrag0n8 said:

"Yes. Rejection is bad. I merely... accept the one that I wanted. I am still sending out my condolences to the powers. The most dangerous one is the Odius one. The others might remember, but this one, this one can feel anger. And that, that is dangerous."

“Not all would think of such things,” Grace shakes her head, sadly. A wan smile remains. “How magnanimous of you.”

There is little commentary, from her, of further comment. Just the attentive listening of one who has done so for a very long time.

"A bold thing to admit. A dangerous one." Alph warns. "Do not forget we will be equals." He shrugs all 4 arms. "We will deal with it if need be. What is one infinity to 15?"

"It was broken by our actions as surely as Ado was. I may save the good parts if it's within my power. Lift them into the realm of thought." 

 

 

"One infinity with malice to one without could be dangerous. Destruction or Anger will be the end of us. That I can assure you."

God was dead. Now, the only his power remains. 16 pieces of Adonalsium, 16 Shards. 

16 pools of power surround you in the crumbling landscape. You must pick one and flee.

 

Layke looked at the fruit of their labors, scarcely believing it had worked. He had thought about this - he suspected they all had - and had come to a conclusion. He would take the curiosity of the being they had killed. And yet, of the powers he saw - truly saw, not merely the pools they appeared to be - the desire to create and know, to test and to wonder, had been split between many. 
This hadn’t been what he’d planned for. Layke blinked, looking around at his fellows already choosing pools. What was he to do?

He’ll think of Invention eventually, but I’m giving people time to steal from me - and this indecisiveness shows his character.

“Creativity. Curiosity. Wondering. Thinking. I’d thought there would only be one, and yet…” Layke frowned, both from the dilemma and from residual guilt at their actions. “I need to pick one of them, I know that. But there’s several here that complement me - we need that, I think - when there was supposed to be one.”

"So... Creation? Maybe... Invention?"

Turnip went in a loop observing all the pools, the decision of which one to take up was not a trivial  decision to make. He ruled out Odium and Devotion as would want emotions, things that Turnip deemed unimportant. He considered Ambition but for fear of an unchecked thirst of power ruled it out as well .

Turnip attuned the rhythm of victory, he had just helped kill god. He looked around at the pools of light,  each one had a tone radiating off. Following the actions of the others Turnip walked over to one.

Which one?

The power pulsed, as if unsure. When did you show honour? it asked.

All my life, he replied. If I make a promise, I will keep it no matter the cost, so long as the cause continues to be just.

The power of Honour pulsed, ready to accept this Vessel. But it could wait for a little while.

Eloh looks around. He feels... Connection to 2 of the pools. Ruin... Cultivation... I want change. I want to make things different. I will accept either. But... Eloh slowly remembered the voice of one of his friends. No. I will take cultivation.

Eloh walks up to the pool of cultivation and hesitates. He sees the bright green shimmering light radiating off the pool. He looks to his left. Endowment. Hmm. No. That does not suit my plans. He then decides, once and for all to take Cultivation. This is the one. I have always known it. I have never wanted to take, to steal. I have always wanted to nurture and grow. This is the one I have always had a higher connection to.

Eloh then turns to the people standing at Endowment Whimsy Virtuosity and Mercy (If anyone is there).

He also looks over to Endowment Invention and Ruin. He has a... special look in his eye. His eye gleams.

The power of Cultivation searches his mind. When did you Cultivate? it asks.

Alph felt the aftershocks of it ripple through his Tamu Kek. It was exquisite - true artistry as it thrummed through his being, painting maddening colors. A wave passes through him and he knows then, the cosmere has changed. Truly. Profoundly. Changed. 

Alph turns to the pools, watching. He must consider carefully what he will take, for it will shape what kind of god he becomes. Each pool sang its own song, whispering, urging towards a goal. An Intent. That is something new. He thinks to himself.  He looks at the shards of Ado's power and listens to their songs. He saw the Truine strain their feeble ears, trying to listen to music they do not understand. He pities them. Even those primitive Singers could hear the beats of the world.

That golden well of burning passion called to him- the highs and lows of emotion compressed into power. But should he take it? Such power is not meant for mortal hands or hearts.
The enshaden pool of rippling black smoke sang to him as well- he could feel its rippling chaos already roting the earth. He wrinkles his nose. That power knows only hunger and can not appreciate the destruction it brings. But perhaps... perhaps he could change it in small ways such as that.
Opposite to that abominable power was another that called Alph. Creation in its rawest aspect- beauty for the sake of beauty. The pool rippled and split into three colors, more ghostly after-images than real substance. 
Other shards called to him, too, but one was already claimed, and one far more fiercely sang to another. 

If only he could take more of these and forge them together..... become the new god.

 

"Grace, my dear. We seem like the only two who haven't lost our wits. What do you think of these... powers? Which sings to you?"  Alph places an ivory hand on his hip and watches the impulsive fools run. 
 

He watches her in fascination. The singers have always been odd. Neither wholly Fain nor wholly Truine, but something other. Crab-like.

Virtuosity's power calls to him. It needs a Vessel.

Do you approach it?

Grace breaks away from Shalta, murmuring words of surety. No surgery is bloodless, she says, matter-of-fact. Removing a weed disturbs the soil. After, she goes to Alph’s side, back subtly stooped with age, a pleasant smile on her face. As if watching her own grandchildren.

“Oh, yes,” she agrees. “I had expected a tad more decorum amongst us. Too excited, they are. As if there is no more work to be done.”

She makes a show of thinking over Alph’s question, a few seconds of hummed thought. “There are a few that quite like me,” she confesses, with an offhand wave towards a certain direction, beyond which lay powers of cold logic, unending feeling, and a desire for ever more. “And I think I quite like them back. Though I’d imagine you’d prefer that one of beauty. Too energetic for me, I must say.”

Her smile grows when another of their number approaches. “How nice of you to join us, Eloh.”

You've done a great job in playing Grace. I will take her from now.

Oh, yes I can. I can save the very last parts of Yolen and use them. Both me and Eloh have been plotting this for quite a while

It will be fine. Everyone may be doubting it, but I know that I can cultivate this planet. Bond with me for no other reason, but I will be able to cultivate this planet. Together, we can cultivate wonders. You will find my determination a huge asset for shardhood.
