The Knights Awkward

[old man moomba he/him]

"Storm off!" Dapper said, sucking in Booklight, "The other fandoms haven't been worldbuilt yet, we're working on it." he snapped his fingers, and Booklight flowed from him into Hoid. The immortal glowed brightly, then exploded into Light.

"Ah me. Well, he's not actually dead, don't worry."

[Le Sigh]

"Wait, why did you attack him? He wasn't doing anything wrong," Kellenna asked.

Hopefully this doesn't count as a necro.

The door creaked open, and a girl with auburn hair and green eyes walked in. The creak was actually quite impressive, beginning before the door started to open, and ending only after it had been closed for half a second. If you looked closely, then you may have been able to see a small spren zipping away from the hinges after it finished creaking. The girl seemed totally oblivious to the loud creak and the rest of the people standing around, and began to examine the shelves of many books. Then she gasped, pulling out some type of guidebook or something. She flipped through the pages for a moment before finding what she was looking for. It was a picture of the very same room as she now stood in, though with a few subtle changes. The girl's eyes widened and she walked over to the closest person and whispered in an awed voice "Is this the Knights Awkward? You guys are famous! I mean, the bookies, and the library . . . So many books . . ." She trailed off, a hungry look in her eyes.

[Dragon Reborn he/him]

I Dragon Reborn speak again the hallowed oaths:

Books before friends.

17th Shard before the real world.

Release dates before birthdays.

Dappper looked up from his ARC of A Memory of Light with a raised eyebrow. (the book was a one-of-a-kind collectable, part of a set gifted to him by his father)

~~~

Dapper exploded into light with no warning whatsoever. When the light faded, a man who looked like Dapper was standing his place. "Ha!" he cried, "The ties binding our Threads aren't strong enough to keep us all on the same time zone!" the not-Dapper clapped his hands in a satisfied way and continued, "So, I come bearing an offer. We would like you people to join our multiverse, or something."

[CahiraCelosial she/her]

Cahira walked into the room and mumbled "Books before friends, 17th shard before reality, release dates before birthdays." She walked over to a corner, tripped over her own feet, and then said, "Fine. I will bind others together with fictional narratives. Can I read now?" She picked up a copy of Elantris, and proceeded to ignore any voice in her head, cuz what if it was from a bad shard? Only evil ones force you away from books to social interaction needlessly .

[CahiraCelosial she/her]

I came up with a second oath for shipwards:

I will respect all ships, even if I personally do not like them.

This is THE guild for me.  I don't really DO anything except Branderson.  Mind if I join whatever is going on here?

(Side note:  What IS going on here?)

[Allomancy she/her]

Ally stretched, releasing a yawn. She looks around at the room. “Wow, I’ve been out for a while.” She dusts herself off, wondering if anyone remembers when she wasn’t covered in a stack of books, deep in a Haitus- or well... “slumber”. “This place has quieted down a lot since the last time I was conscious.” 

[GeneralHZRD he/him]

Eighth blinked becoming suddenly aware. How long had it been? He thought, groaning as he looked around the still room. He forced himself to stand, years worth of dust falling from his clothes. He groaned again, his joints protesting, stiff from years of disuse. He began a slow determined set of stretches as he again took stock of the room. Motionless figures covered the room, many on the floor with books in their laps, others standing, or leaning against the dusty shelves. A few were seated in the few chairs scattered around the room. An eerie stillness covered the room, the quiet broken only by the shallow breaths from the frozen people. 

Eighth took a hesitant step, his feet disturbing the dust on the long-neglected floor. He walked slowly to the desk in the middle of the room, his footsteps echoing off the cobweb-covered walls. He brushed the dust off a book in the center of the table reading the title on the first page, 

The Knights Awkward: 

Speak again the hallowed oaths:

Books before friends.

17th Shard before the real world.

Release dates before birthdays.

 

He looked up again at the still room, This is not right. He thought. Eighth dropped the book back onto the desk with a booming thud, "Too long," he shouted to the quiet room, "have we remained dormant. Too long have we sat in our dusty hall, watching the world pass by! Well no more! We will not sit idle, we will not remain frozen in our stupor! We are the Knights Awkward! and WE are better than this! Knights... Awake!"

[Silverpelt she/her]

Silver awkwardly comes out of hiding, clutching several books and looking extremely nervous. "Umm...hi? I've... err... well... I've kinda been hiding in the corner for... well... a long time and I err... can I join? please? I've sworn the first oath... Books before friends. 17th shard before the real world. Release dates before birthdays." She shifts and grabs her books tighter. "That is... if you're all ok with me being here?"

[Turtle they/them]

a young woman, maybe 15 or 16 opens the door and comes in. She walks toward the front of the room and stands in front of mistrunner, arms folded.

"I'd like to join the Knights Awkward, if you don't mind. I am, of Course, a Referencecaller.

Books before friends.

17th Shard before the real world.

Release dates before birthdays.

I will read all Brandon, even if it is not Cosmere"

also, how on earth does book casting work? Can I soul cast books from thin air?

“I, though just a koloss, will pledge allegiance to this cause. I am the 17th of my brood, but I believe that is an important number round these parts. I might also be a paladin sherrif, but I am also an avid and awkward reader. I will serve this here cause well, I thunk.

[Commander Azure]

A man wearing light blue clothes opens the door, appearing before Mistrunner and the congregation. "Me and my spren have found the first two oaths of the Knights Awkward," he says. "Books before friends. 17th Shard before the real world. Release dates before birthdays. I will show Brandon to those who haven't read Brandon themselves. May I join the Knights Awkward?" A tiny blue book appears next to his head and, flapping open and closed like a mouth, says, "Mmmmmm. Brandon....."

[Bearer of all agonies he/him]

Yes! Another awkward knight! 

[Tacitus]

Books before friends.

17th shard before the real world.

And I will make fun of the unmakefunable.

I take these solemn oaths, and establish myself as a Quipsmith.

[Bearer of all agonies he/him]

I feel very awkward because I’m always awkward.

[#1 Taln Fan he/him]

A young man, skinny, glasses askew, and clutching the Way of Kings in his arms, stumbled into the dark room. 

Hi… uh.. I don’t really have any real friends…or do any sports…. But I read a bunch of books, and my friends tell me I spend too much time on the coppermind… uh. I will join the order of the Referencecallers

[Regent she/her]

*staggers into the room holding Skyward and a sketchbook in one arm, with a laptop bag slung over my shoulder*

Uhm...greetings. I mostly stay in the comfort of the shadows but I saw this thread while digging down the depths of the forum (not really), and it has truly sparked my attention. So I...uhh...I'm an introvert who loves to art, constantly lurks everywhere and rarely comes out of hiding, very awkward as heck IRL, and I shall now swear by the Knights Awkward oaths:

"Books before friends.

17th Shard before the real world.

Release dates before birthdays.

 

 I will read that which has not been read

            I will stay silent amongst many words

            I will enjoy without being upvoted"

 

[#1 Taln Fan he/him]

“Hi. I’m new here.” TalnFan said, adjusting his glasses and briefly glancing up from his book. “We have some cookies on that table if you want, but feel free to sit down on a sofa and read.”

[The Sibling she/her]

The Sibling wishes to join the knights awkward. As long as they don't have to go anywhere. Or do anything. Or say anything. 

Books before friends.

17th Shard before the real world.

Release dates before birthdays

 

The Knights Awkward must rise again.
