emailanimal he/him Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 Almost can't blame him for passing on so fast. Thousand years of that, and he can't even bring himself to care anymore now that he's dead. "I've had enough of this crap, I'm outta here. See you in the Beyond once the world ends." Although, in all fairness, the best thieving crew in Cosmere would be the one with Kelsier and Rashek on it together. If they ever settled the "who's the alpha?" dispute.
The Invested Beard Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 So yeah, you just killed an innocent fellow in order to stall the end of the world, then tried to save it but instead ruined the entire biosphere, and barely pulled off a patch job to hold it together by metaphorical duct tape and chewing gum. You failed to dispose of the eldritch god of doom that you killed the guy to stop in the first place. Your only plan is to wait and try again. For a thousand and twenty-four years. With the god clearly whispering in your mind. He can read your writing. Your thoughts are safe, but which are yours and which are his? Meanwhile the world is just short of oblivion (because of you) and it's all you can do to keep it together long enough so that you can take the power again and figure out a course of action before it runs out again. And it runs out pretty fast. You have an Empire to run, but with no experience in government whatsoever and have to just wing it. And of course, as with any dictatorship, they try to stage coups all the time because people are people. After a few decades, in order to make sure your age alteration continues to keep you alive you must forgo sleep and live 24 hours a day fully conscious or the tapping stops. No pressure, Rashek. I've got my wedding to plan, my wife to murder, and Gildor to frame for it. I'm swamped. 2
