The Longest Thread (Misadventures)

[FatherTiempo he/him]

"Noooooo!" FT screamed, "I'm sorry Max, my controls are so tricky."

[Jaywalk he/him]

But that Max was actually Xam, his evil twin.

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

Xam had, of course, thrown a dagger through Max's heart before the withergeists got to him.

[Jaywalk he/him]

Or tried to, at least.

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

It had lodged into eye instead, going through his brain.

[FatherTiempo he/him]

Which, since Max's adrenaline was pumping, he had roughly thirty sevonds.

Edit: The knife blade was hemalurgic. Now Max can steel push.

Max Pushed on Xam’s tin buttons, sending him flying.

[Lunamor she/her]

Luna tried to swallow one of the buttons.

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

The dark something raised an eyebrow. "You don't get as angry as Star."

[FatherTiempo he/him]

"I don't know who your talking to, but I'm taking that statement personally!" FT roared.

"Just means I have to get my hands a little dirty," Astral sighed. She slit the throat of her nephew, letting Max's body drop to the floor at her feet. "Not that I don't enjoy that."

And now, for something completely Different 

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

The withergeists were putting on a consert.

[Jaywalk he/him]

Jaywalk fell to his knees. What would he tell Kelsier and Jasnah?

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

Astral looked at her long, black nails. "That you failed," she said in her low, silky voice. "What else?"

[Lunamor she/her]

A consert was like a concert, but with less seas.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

In addition, everyone who attended would be executed.

[Jaywalk he/him]

By the royal executioner...and guest.

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

“Hello, Granite.” 

Granite turned. Standing behind him was a tall woman, wearing all black. She seemed to suck the light out of the air. He paled, stepping back. “Who are you?” he said.

“You don’t remember?” she said sadly, edging forward. “Why, Granite, I’m your mother.”

“S-star?”

“No, darling. But close. I am called Astral. Star’s better half.” Astral came close to him and leaned down, touching his face. Her fingers were cold. “I haven’t seen you in so long,” she said. “My, how you’ve grown. I remember holding you in my arms. Now look at you.” There were tears in her eyes. “You look like your father. Those eyes…”

Granite stepped away. “I don’t know who you are,” he said.

She sighed, sorrow written in her bearing. “No, I suppose you wouldn’t. But you are my son. A mother knows her son.”

[Jaywalk he/him]

Jaywalk warped in. “Granite. Stay away from her.”

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

Granite swallowed. He wore a Mistcloak now and his pockets were full of different vials containing his metals. He glanced at Jay, then back at Astral. And he shook his head. 

"My mother left me," he said, eyes dark. "She doesn't care. So why should you?" With that, he dropped a coin and Steelpushed away. 

Astral drew her lips into a frown. Ah, well.

"And you do?" she said, exasperated. "Nobody wants to read about a Character Theory nerd..."

Oh the irony...  Also, seriously, Michael has the best one-liners.

No, admitted Michael. But, to be honest, I really can't help. Especially not right now...

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

"That's okay..." Sophie muttered, wiping her eyes.

Then she brightened. "I'm 150!!"

Just in time to die, muttered Michael under his breath.

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

Sophie paled. "Oh. Right. Um... how are we going to get out of this?"
