The Hall of Legend.

Max bursted through the Hall of Legends, eyes wide. He saw a crowd of people above here. 

Looking, he saw Silph walking around. Ignoring the twinge of anxiety he felt looking at the spike, Max ran over to the man.

“Silph!” He said, grabbing him by the shirt. “Do you know where Mara is? I’ve been looking all over, and I need tosay sorry. I’ve made a terrible mistake.”

“Downstairs, in the tomb” Silph told Max

“What did you do?”

Screw causality. In the SYP, I’m at home.

Silas walked up, out of nowhere and grabbed a card.

“Huh.”

“What did you do?”

"Oh," Max said, letting go of Silph and heading towards the twisting ladder that led to the tomb. He'd never liked that cramped, ancient place. Turning around, he replied to his question. "I went too far."

With that he climbed down the stairs, unable to take the shortcut any coinshot would have.

Alum waited there as people departed, leaving him alone in this Hall. There were a lot of memories here - a weight of previous lives, events forgotten. This Alleyverse had seen its fair share of events, and it surprised him that there was very little record of any of it.

A thought occurred to him. He stood, and addressed the empty room. "Does anyone curate this place?" The sound fell upon empty ears, but Alum felt that his voice would be heard.

@Nohadon I assume?

 

[Nohadon he/him]

An old man climbed up from the ladder leading to the tomb of the forgotten

"ello there. You've been looksin' for the curator?" He asked in a thick roughs accent

"Yes"

"That'd be me" the old man said.

Nohadon, my character was doing some soul searching. But he'd be very interested in getting in on this side quest if it's still running (especially if all the traps are already disarmed and all that's left to do is claim the treasure). If it's bad timing, don't worry about it, I understand. 

Klasten walked briskly through the stone corridor. The statue of Mace had been interesting, but yielded no insights. The whole time he'd been looking at it, an annoying feeling had been nagging him. Frustrated, he'd finally given up and decided to follow it to its source. 

As he rounded the corner, the feeling intensified a hundredfold. "Rusts," he muttered. Barely able to concentrate, he reached his arm up and grabbed the origin of his annoyance: a small card.

"I wonder what this is for," he mused.

Sorry, I was away for a little bit.

Within the RP, Alum is a scholar. And since there’s no real inworld record of events - barring people who are still alive and remember past events - most of the new characters will never learn about the past events. (And I know the Liebrary keeps records, but they’re not public records.)

So I’d like to set up a canonical version of a wiki within the Alleyverse, like a historical library. And set it here, if it’s possible. I can make a separate thread if you’d like, but I’d think it would be fitting considering this place is a commemoration for past events.

“The Alleyverse has a history, has it not?” Alum said. He got a grunt in reply. “Well, this place seems interesting enough. But I’ve noticed that you don’t have a lot of records. Historical texts. Most people don’t even remember who these people are. I’m a scholar. An Elsecaller. I study things and collate them. And since I appear to be stuck here for the time being, I’d like your permission to view any historical texts or records you have. I’ll be setting up a library/research centre, if at all possible.”

He proffered some spheres to sweeten the deal.

————Before Max’s GB training (in CDS)———-/

As Max exited the Hall of Legends he noticed an odd bulge in Master Sheonar’s statue’s coat pocket. Taking it out, he found an odd card, before resuming his course to IronKeep.

[Sherlock Holmes he/him]

Tena strolled up to Mace’s statue, and remarked aloud, “Y’know, sir, I was the first person who saw your corpse. Actually, the only person who saw it before the remains were obliterated by the thermonuke. Gods, do I miss having someone to boss me around. I just don’t know what to do with myself unless somebody else gives me orders. Or, alternatively, if I’m filled with battle thrill.” She glared at the statue, which yielded no results, unfortunately. She huffed and saw ‘Klasten’ talking to somebody near Devaan’s memorial. Tena found it more than a little weird that he had a statue when he was still alive, which most people weren’t supposed to know, maybe.

She ice-skated her way to Klasten and said, “Whatcha doing? Can I... oh.” She saw the card in Klasten’s hand and grinned. “You’re going on that one quest? Can I come?”

@The Forgetful Archivist, update the thread, please.

I'm, getting around to it. I've been tied up with IRL stuff but believe me, the Hall of Legend is on my to-do list.

[MacThorstenson he/him]

McKarl approached the outside of the building, a few of his team members near him. 

He leaned in close to them, "OK guys, it looks like sentinels are guarding the outside. I know that the tomb is in the basement, lets split up and try to find a way in, besides the front door."

[Ink he/him]

“Lets do this,” Suri said. Watching the guard and such, she was trying to figure out the best way to get in. Determination, while not as effective as zinc, did help for quicker, more focused thinking. She was close.

[MacThorstenson he/him]

"Good, Im going to go in and talk to the curator. Find out whats inside of this place."

He walked into the main hall in-between the two sentinels guarding it, to find an old man standing there.

"Hello! Are you the curator of this place? If so can I ask you a few questions?"

"Okey-dokey, mister person. I'll make sure to check for any good windows to sneak through," Jofus chuckled.

[I think I am here. he/him]

“I’ll note down any security,” Alask said, mentally prepping himself. “Any cameras, any guards, any Invested things.”

He waited a short while after McKarl entered before entering himself, pretending to look around in awe but really counting up anything he saw.

Curator, two Sentinel guards, a third one hidden at the back just in case. Two cameras, opposite sides, and invisible Aon Edo’s placed on each statue in case someone breaks it.

Hatch to the basement. Guarded by curator. Standard lock. Scadrian. Curator probably has the key, and that means he’s powerful.

Alask continued, hoping his perception would allow him to note things others couldn’t see.

Goree sauntered along, and strode up to Suri. 

"Do you like my hat?" He asked, gesturing to the rutabaga that sat on his head.

"You could call me that" He grinned.

"Ask away."

Astiel, one of the sentinel guards scanned the room, alert for any intruders.

Not a robbery. Yet.

McKarl grinned, and pulled out a paper, 

"Thank you! So I am a design student at the local college, and for a project we need to pick one place to research, find out how its form and current state relate to its purpose. I chose the Hall of legend and the tomb of the forgotten. 

My first question is, how did you make the trade off between security and accessibility? This place was open to the public, primarily so that they could recover their loved ones belongings in the Tomb of the Forgotten. But you can't let anyone in otherwise some enterprising people might steal everyone's belongings.

What security did you put in to prevent that from happening? Obviously you have a narrow entry way to prevent floods of people, and the guards can manage who comes in and out, but from what I see, the hatch is always open. And I never heard anyone complain about the excessive security measures.

Also, how did you bring in the tombs through that narrow doorway? If this place holds the tombs of all those who died in the Seven day war, we are looking at tons of bodies, each with their own burial place."

No, its not a robbery. Yet. Why would we rob a place in broad daylight?

"We do have some security around and about, there are other guards of course. But the hall and tomb are mainly for the people. As for the recovery of belongings, the deceased have to let us (or anyone nearby) know in advance who they bequeath their personal belongings. During the seven day way, many died, but lots didn't have wills so their items are available to the public if they don't have any identifiable next of kin."

"We try too keep our security subtle. There isn't a need to rob a tomb, most of the things here are just personal belongings"

"We had the tombs built on site, then brought the corpses through single file. It took a couple days, but that's alright."

Alask turned in place as a guard tapped him on the shoulder. She had an assortment of colours in her hair, and her clothes seemed so vibrant, and almost looked good if they weren’t made from every colour in the Cosmere.

Awakener, Alask thought immediately. With the way her clothes brighten so well, I assume a powerful.

“You okay?” She asked, frowning. “You sort of seem to be wandering around. Are you lost?”

Shadows. Alask needed to think of a lie. Fast. Luckily, lying was one of Alask’s talents, after pointless trivia on movies.

“Nah,” Alask said nonchalantly. “I was just marvelling at the architecture. It’s quite grand.”

“I guess. It seemed you were almost looking for something..”

“Oh, yeah! My bad, I should have said this earlier, but my friend said that if you look close enough at the walls, you can see a secret mural.”

“You’re joking,” the guard said, but still looked at the wall to her side.

“No! I was just being observant so I could see it. I apologise if that seemed suspicious.”

“No, not at all. Enjoy you’re searching.”

Alask smiled. “Thank you.”
