TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Lick the chasm wall. I could spend five seconds leaning in, five seconds sticking out my tongue, four and three-quarters of a second bringing my tongue to the point of touching the chasm wall—and by the time my tongue and the wall actually touched, time would be up. Would you rather have cooking chull dung stew as your Calling, or have to compete in a drinking contest against a Horneater? 2
Zathoth Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Oh dont be like that, you'll have those back in a day with the rate you gain upvotes.
Curiosity he/him Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Would you rather have cooking chull dung stew as your Calling, or have to compete in a drinking contest against a Horneater? Chull dung stew. I wouldn't be able to listen to Horneaters speak of things if I were drinking. And I'd get used to the smell. WoR Would you, as a Rosharan, rather be a witness to all of Szeth's murder's, unable to communicate with him, or be a lighteyed officer and hear deadspren scream at you whenever you saw a Shardblade? (Assume this fate lasts as long as Seth is Truthless.)
DreamEternal Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) hear screaming spren, because that either means I am so Radiant I don't have to touch the blade to make it scream, or that I have some strange spiritual condition that is bound to become relevant later. Would you rather become a intelligent spren that had to find a suitable partner, wich in this case must be a madman who calls himself Taln, before losing your mind, or a sentient sword awakened to destroy evil, but be forced to always ponder the morality of your actions and question the concept of evil?

Adamir he/him Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) Sword, because as said sword I could always refuse the person who carries me and just drain him of Investiture, while as a spren I am required by the Nahel bond to become a Shardblade on command. Would you rather have a nosebleed in the Forests of Hell or traverse an island on the Pantheon at night? Edited August 29, 2015 by Adamir
Titan Arum Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) Lick the chasm wall.

Would you rather have cooking chull dung stew as your Calling, or have to compete in a drinking contest against a Horneater? Twi! That seems like cheating! By your own admission you're only touching your tongue to the wall! The dictionary defines a lick as "passing your tongue over something". Thus touching is clearly not a lick! Also...you're 5 second approach to the chasm wall reminds me of the first 6.5 minutes of the middle school game 7 Minutes in Heaven where you're in there with your friend you have a crush on but never admitted it to...you stare at each other awkwardly until you have to kiss at the last second! And to answer the new question: definitely traverse a Pantheon island at night. Since you haven't said which island, as long as it's not Patji, I'm sure I can survive. A nose bleed in the Forest of Hell? Not sure if I could survive that. Would you rather hold an unsheathed Nightblood for five seconds or be on a small shattered plain plateau without a bridge or Shards with a full grown Chasmfiend for one minute.

Titan Arum Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 I feel like I missed something in middle school. You didn't miss anything. It's awkward for everyone at all times. All of middle school is awkward for everyone at all times. 1
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 There's cheating, and then there's self-preservation. Only Sadeas and his ilk called Kaladin's using the bridge as a shield "cheating." You didn't miss anything. It's awkward for everyone at all times. All of middle school is awkward for everyone at all times. Quoted for extreme truth. 2
DreamEternal Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Sword, because as said sword I could always refuse the person who carries me and just drain him of Investiture, while as a spren I am required by the Nahel bond to become a Shardblade on command. Syl could take Kaladin's stormlight away when he tried to use it to fight Adolin, and I don't think Nightblood could refuse being used after someone picks him up without entering a mass murder rage.

Ookla the Absent Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 You didn't miss anything. It's awkward for everyone at all times. All of middle school is awkward for everyone at all times. No, I feel like I missed most things in middle school. Probably because I took a year off from it in eighth grade.
Echo Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Chasmfiend. I'd probably die, but at least I'm small(ish) and quick.There's a chance I could last a minute. Maybe. Would you rather be trapped in a chull's mind for the rest of your natural life, or in a bridge crew only to die two weeks later?
Curiosity he/him Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Journey before destination. Bridge crew. I am not a chull. Would you rather have weird shaped bones or no color? (No magical implications to either state. Just you look weird.)
Kobold King he/him Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Would you rather have weird shaped bones or no color? (No magical implications to either state. Just you look weird.) No color. I'd tell people that the whole world used to look like me, and that they could check old photographs to prove it. I'd claim that "color photography" was actually extraterrestrial technology used to convert all of the sun's light into an alien spectrum, and if they don't hear from me it's because the FBI finally caught my scent. Would you rather be stuck in a chasm for one hour, or banned from the 17th Shard for a week? 4

Would you rather have a front-row seat to Sebarial insulting Sadeas, or one of Wit's stories? 3
Curiosity he/him Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Wit. Definitely. I've always wanted to hear about a seventeen-legged lizard-crab thing scuttling around on an insufferably rainy day. Would you rather have a million diamond chips or the equivalent money in emerald broams? (Assume all are fully infused). 3
Ookla the Absent Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Broams, they are more useful to radiants. Be able to go up but not down, or down but not up?
Kobold King he/him Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Be able to go up but not down, or down but not up? Down but not up. The Earth will prevent me from hurtling off into space, and as long as I avoid lying down I should be fine. Would you rather have coffee with the ambassador of an alien race, or with Brandon Sanderson?
Surgebound Rainspren he/him Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Alien race! I'd be to afraid to embarrass myself around Brandon Sanderson. At least with aliens the worst that could happen is I doom the entire human race. Would you rather have to plan an revolution against the Lord Ruler or serve Steelheart coffee when he's in a bad mood? 2
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Serve Steelheart coffee. I've worked in customer service since I was 17, and I've seen my share of irrational customers. Sure, I've never served angry demigods, but how different can it be from serving a man who gets angry when you offer him bar seating? Would you rather attend Obliteration or Regalia's church? 1

You're a braver man than any of us, Twi. I think I'd rather attend Obliteration's. Sure, he'd ramble on about the end of the world a lot, but I'm the sort who finds fire-and-brimstone speeches pretty amusing. Much better than whatever poisons Regalia would spew. Would you rather take up one of the 16 canon Shards at random, or be gifted the Shard of Boredom right now? 1

Would you rather take up one of the 16 canon Shards at random, or be gifted the Shard of Boredom right now? Take up a random Shard, because then I at least have a chance of getting something good. And if I get something crappy like Odium or Ruin or something, I can just lock myself away in a couple thousand years before I change too much. Would you rather have to use a chull as your only vehicle for the rest of your life, or have your hand Lashed to a fence post forever? 1

I would take the chull, I would be like "Hey girl, wanna get a ride on my chull?"(just joking). Would you rather be a awakened god from warbreaker or herald from SA 1
