The Knights Awkward

[Nashan’Elin he/him]

"Me!" Nashan raises his hand. "I ran into a statue base in a city, and the next thing I knew, I was here! I probably should stop reading while walking, but eh..." 

[WizzyLizzy she/her]

"What book were you reading?" Lizzy inquired.

Heh heh editing my comments.

[CarolaDavar she/her]

"Thanks for teh bookies," Carola says, munching on them. "You know, I'd be fine with either Shalladin or Shadolin - both of those bookies areally pretty great tastound - though i prefer Shalladin. Then, you know, she could keep Kaladin cheery, and happy, and he can keep making witty jokes and puns."

[WizzyLizzy she/her]

Lizzy's ceon, wíshi, floats into the room. It goes over to her, then stops behind her ear, hovering in place.

[Renoux she/her]

-Awkwardly edges into the long unused thread-

Um... can I join? No one's posted on this in forever. I-I can say the oath if you want. I will totally be a Quipsmith. Nothing like a good pun! Say, what do you call a criminal in an elevator? Con-descending. HAHA! Anyway. this shouldn't be too hard. I don't have many friends, and don't go to birthdays anyway...and what world were you talking about just then? Roshar? Scadrial? The Cosmere?

Books before friends.

17th Shard before the real world.

Release dates before birthdays

I will make fun of the unmakefunnable
I shall be frustrating when people hate me for it
I will not reuse jokes on pain of being dunked in a highstorm

[CarolaDavar she/her]

Carola skids into the room, having to remembered if she had been here before or not. She slid gracefully, but crashes with the sounds of hissing cats and clanging metal. " Welcome to the club, bud"

[Mistrunner]

"Yer hired!" says Mistrunner, then frowns. "That was awful. Remind me never to do that again." She turns back to Renoux. "Have you tried the bookies yet? They're 100% Odium-free. I think."

[Allomancy she/her]

"I've got some right here!" Ally announces, running toward the newcomer. She trips, and the plate of bookies flies out of her hands and lands...

right on the floor..

"Sorry" ally says. " I'm clumsy.

"Oh, you were wanting something to do, @antgrgmn? I found these outside the door!" She drops the instruments. "I'm not sure what to do with them. We can form a band, or maybe find out why they were at the top of a mountain outside the Awkward Fortress." She grabs a baritone and tries to play a B flat. It's horribly out of tune, what with being at the top of a snowy mountain and all."

Jeirid walks over and picks up a trumpet.  He then proceeds to play all of the scales on the circle of fifths, starting with concert B flat (which is c on a trumpet) and plays clockwise all the way around the circle, playing all twelve scales in under 48 seconds.  Then, having forgotten to breathe, he falls over on the trumpet.  "My instrument!!!! Also, it appears I am bleeding.  My instrument!!!"

Lizzy stares into space. "Wait... We are on a snowy mountain? I came from a rainforest into this building..." She pauses, her eyes widening. "Wait, maybe it's interdementional travel... Did anyone else  come from a different environment into this building?"

After finally getting over his trumpet breaking (mostly), Jeirid responds to Lizzy's question.  "I believe it has something to do with some sort of Awkward magnet, causing Awkward people to be drawn here." he says.  "They end up here whether or not they were originally intending to be here.  Take me for example.  I was on my way to a Rubik's cube convention when I heard about the guild.  The next thing I knew I was walking through the door to enter the keep.  I wrote a book about this.  I unofficially name the thing that attracts awkwardness 'The Call of Awkward'."  Then, realizing the lateness of his response, he says "sorry, that was Awkward, wasn't it."

[Dustbringer12 he/him]

"Wow," Jeirid says.  "it was Awkward enough to create a period of lengthened silence.  Doesn't that give me an awkward moment award or something?"

I'd give you this, but I feel there's too much competition for it in this thread. You may still enjoy its splendor.

The rocks seem to think a highstorm is comeing.

[Tsidqiyah he/him]

Recently I received the highest compliment one of order of the Convertshapers could recieve at work, "Oh no now you started it. It'll  be another hour before he is done talking about Sandrson." Little did my coworker  realize if given the chance I won't stop talking about worlds of the great worldsmith.

[Tsidqiyah he/him]

Tsidqiyah, Not the Lemon, awkwardly returns to the thone of the Great @Mistrunner, "After my departure from the keep I realized I never gave my thanks to the welcoming of this society. May I always honor this great society." 

[The Honor Spren she/her]

Maggie glances down at her iPad, then around at the rocks with faces on them that are now a permanent part of the Halls of Awkward. "Hmm," she remarks. "I meant to put those in the 9th Treasure Trove of Random Stuff. But they'll do well here." She shrugs as she picks up the unhappy rock. "Opal, let's name this one 'Pebble.'"

[Dustbringer12 he/him]

Hi @Tsidqiyah (Not the Lemon!), it is good to meet/see you.

[Tsidqiyah he/him]

Greetings to the great @RubiksCube. The goodness of this meeting is all mine. The question of the day is how fast can you solve the great multicolored cube.

[Dustbringer12 he/him]

@Tsidqiyah 25 seconds is my best.

[Tsidqiyah he/him]

@RubiksCube Nice i got it down to about 45 seconds, but my cube is now about 10 years old the stickers have been worn off and replaced about 5 times now so it isn't the smoothest thing ever to turn.
