He left his bed, and fell to the floor, getting ready for the day. Valov checked every last thing he could possibly need, a bag, lots of stormlight, some accessories. That was it. It was time to go. "I guess we're doing this." He whispered. Valov felt a soft squeeze around his ankles. He looked down to see Jella, the Cultivationspren. Valov walked out of his small room. Looking around for anyone there. Hopefully they could tell him what to do. Reveal hidden contents Can someone tell me who is there, if at all? This is my first post in the Alleyverse! My character is in the signups if you need it. Quote I'm pretty sure it's the same day since Era 9 began, and there was a massive explosion in New Hallandren. People would probably have heard it. Perhaps his spren did?
Fizz9 Posted April 11 Posted April 11 The Sphere, New Urithuru "Valov?" Jella called, "I think there was an explosion a little bit ago." That would be a great place to help some people! "Do you think you could find it?" Valov said. "I think so?" "Come on, there could be so many people ready to be saved!" "Alright." Jella's face fell into a pile of rotting vines, soon to fade away, and a singular vine shot out. I'm going to do it! Valov followed her. Spoiler He is now on his way to New Hallandren to see what's going on. What is going on?

"Someone created illusory flames then turned part of it into smoke. Also, there's a Fused attacking. He was friendly when I saw him earlier, so I don't understand why." As they spoke, they drifted slowly towards the spren in the smoke, hoping to be able to see them. Lux, New Hallandren, New Hallandren Garrison "Interesting..." The spren is moving towards me. WHAT? Spren can sense investiture??? Duh. Thought you knew that. Well... Ok, just move back... I trust you enough too figure it out. Should I keep pretending? "Stay away from my spren."

Fizz9 Posted April 11 Posted April 11 (edited) Valov, New Hallandren, New Hallandren Garrison Valov rounded the final corner, following the small green vine. Jel formed a face. "It's just around the corner." As he rounded the final corner, he sucked up a few spheres worth of Stormlight, just in case, causing him to glow. Time to be Radiant. He rounded the corner. "Who's there?" Valov called in the most study voice he could muster. Despite his efforts his voice shook, and his hands started vibrating. You can do this. Edited April 11 by Fizz9

"Well lets look around. Maybe we will find someone."

You shouldn’t have trusted Thav, and you certainly shouldn’t have trusted me. You got lucky that I’m not...” She suddenly wasn’t sure of what she was saying. Eza shook her head, then continued on. ”The Alleys have some very bad people, and it took you very little time to get captured by some. It’s not like our world here, rules are different and it takes a while to learn them. You seem like a good person, so I don’t want you to die.

DcD25yhtdA8 he/him Posted April 14 Posted April 14 Vex, The Corridor The day had started just like any other. After arriving in Alleycity, around one year ago, Vex just picked up his life, better here than back in Newcago. He hadn't had an attack since he arrived, but as he settled down for the night, it happened. He blacked out. When he came to, Vex, was sitting in a pile of ash, surrounded by flowers. He quickly stood up, brushed himself off, then used his Epic powers to create some new vases for the flowers, he never liked ash, but something made him think his Epic side did. Realizing he only blacked out for five minutes, he then went for a walk. Down the Corridor he went, until he reached the edge. This was his space, the space for his art, people knew to respect his space. He sat down and started thinking about what to add next.

I can help you if Thavel isn’t where you expect, though, like with breaking him out of somewhere or finding information on his whereabouts.” Eza grabbed two matching knives with iron implanted inside of their hilts. Tiny emeralds were set in a ring around the edge of the hilt and little inlays of gold snaked through the dark wood. They were her second favorite pair, her first favorite having been lost when she was captured. She also grabbed a small, thick wooden board that could be affixed to her wrist, almost like a shield. This was significantly less elegant than her knives. ”I can also help you with spotting hemalurgists and running away from dangerous people, if need be. Or with stabbing ‘em.” She tossed one knife upwards, blade facing downwards, then ironpulled on the iron in its handle. The dagger turned unnaturally in middair so that it was falling hilt first, and she calmly let it fall back into her hand. She’d been practicing with these a lot. @Qianweilian

Unfortunately, he had failed to stop him from getting what he wanted. He considered going after him, but quickly decided against it. While Midas had many tricks up his sleeves, speed was not one of them. He might be able to fight Ebon, but he doubted he could outrun him. Still, he supposed it wouldn’t hurt to find out what was taken. Midas reclaimed his breaths from the objects he had awakened, leaving his cape and a few other parts of his uniform awakened. He then began walking, briskly and with purpose, toward where Ebon had gone. Ebonaryle, New Hallandren, Garrison Ebon stopped before a dark cell. He knew instantly it was the right one. All the other prisoners ran up to their bars, mumbling or begging, or cowered at the back of their cells. But the girl in this one didn't do any of that. Instead, she sat composed against the back wall of her enclosure, gazing into the passageway expectantly. Until she saw Ebon, and her face fell into a mask of fear. To her credit, she erased it quickly. But he had seen enough. Ebon paused before her cell, then leaned forward to get a closer look at her. Sure enough, that was a lab coat, covered in soot. She must've made it just out of the range of the explosion. Ebon thought for a second about how to proceed. Then he decided to take the quick way. In an instant, he Shifted, drifted into the cell, and reformed. Before the girl could react, he grabbed her by the neck and pinned her to the wall. She let out a quick shriek, and he felt her heart thump under his carapace. In the distance, he heard an explosion. He attuned once more the Rhythm of Executions, and growled. "Tell me all you know." On 4/7/2026 at 1:19 AM, Ink and Embers said: Cayansa, New Hallandren, New Hallandren Garrison Cayansa started, staring at the door. Midas had been hurt? He had seemed almost invincible, but that had a tendency to happen while you were afraid. "We should help," they exclaimed, then mentally cursed. It's not like you can do anything at the moment. They turned to Limel. "Where did you take the things you confiscated from us earlier? I had a healing fabrial." Looking to Starseeker, they added, "Do you know if whoever he was fighting has left, or will we be attacked?" Limel, New Hallandren, Garrison "Uhh..." the things they had confiscated. Where were they? "Your things should be in a locker. But, if I'm being honest... they're probably lying in someone's office somewhere." He gave a sheepish smile. Suddenly, a massive boom rocked the floor beneath their feet. Limel spun as the blast door they had come in through slammed open a couple meters behind them. He watched, in almost excruciating slow motion, as a constable in full uniform fell face first through the gate. The body - face coated in red - hit the floor, and as their gazes aligned, Limel saw something come over the officer's eyes. The man opened his mouth to scream - but then, suddenly, a red cloth swung in from beyond the doorway where Limel couldn't see and wrapped around his mouth. The constable's eyes widened, and as Limel watched in shock, the cloth pulled his body back out through the doorway. For a couple seconds, everyone stayed frozen, listening to sounds of screaming and beating from outside, staring at the human shaped, red mark that now stained the previously clean corridor floor. Then the alarms came back on, and all colors broke loose. 19 hours ago, CoderDrag0n8 said: Lux, New Hallandren, New Hallandren Garrison "Just-uh-dissolving b-stuff. Dissolving stuff.
