The Knights Next Door

[Bookish Ocelot she/her]

"A radiant is someone who can inhale stormlight, which gives us our powers. Ax's allow him to slide around and manipulate friction. Mine let me transform things, which is why we have so much cake. I can also teleport. Stormlight also gives you the ability to jump higher, run faster, be stronger, and have more endurance. You progress through swearing oaths, which are specific to the orders. I'm an Elsecaller." Leona sighed and spread her hands. "I'm sorry if it's a lot to take in." 

I knew you could see me. Onyx added.

"Anyways, we fight evil in the world. Once past the third ideal, you get a shardblade, which is unbreakeable and can cut anything. Azriel is similar, but doesn't have the same effects in the cognitive and spiritual realms. Also, it can't change shape. You should probably sit down."

"I believe that this is in violation of protocol," said Luther. 

[overlord stick]

"You just got here today, same as me, what do you know about protocol?"

"I got here today and was informed that displays of the surges around ordinary individuals was forbidden by general consensus."

"Obviously, he's not an ordinary individual, he can see spren!"

[Bookish Ocelot she/her]

"He's ax's boyfriend, so I kinda think he deserves to know why we have superpowers. And let's not forget that he probably has his own."

[Eluvianii he/him]

"Guys, he's still here. We'd better stop with all the new information before he faints."

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

Jason blinked at the influx, then considered it. He turned and glared at the spren. Pointing at he, he carefully made various rude gestures with his other hand out of sight of most of the people. "You are real? I can't touch you. I can't touch any of the... 'spren' in the city either. What on earth are you even supposed to be? Why can I see you when no one else can?" He whipped around and pointed at Ax. "And YOU!" He paused, then reconsidered. "I was going to yell at you for letting me think I was crazy all these years, but honestly, you weren't there when I was five, so you couldn't have honestly warned me. And yes, one of them follows me around-" He cut off pointing an accusing finger at Jamie. "Okay, what the heck is she? She doesn't have one floating around her and none of you care that she can hear, so clearly she's just as messed up as everything else about this situation is!" He paused, thinking, then decided he was done for the moment and crossed his arms, waiting. 

[Bookish Ocelot she/her]

"I can't touch Onyx. I don't know why Ax did that. Maybe you should ask her then?" Leona snapped back. 

[Sherlock Holmes he/him]

"Um, uh, I'm sorry?" Ax mumbled.

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

He turned to face her. "I'm sorry, but please don't snap at me. I'm a little miffed that I've gone through shock therapy to stop seeing these things and then you guys have been seeing them your whole lives as well. If I'm frustrated and you don't like it, well, I have a reason so go-" He paused. "You can make chocolate cake? Like... out of nothing?" Suddenly his eyes shone and he dashed forward to grab her hands. "You are the second most amazing person I've ever met in my life!" He grinned, looking like an excited child. Actually... maybe he had a reason for being so childish and sudden with his decisions and moods... 

[Bookish Ocelot she/her]

"Please let go of me." Leona said. "I would happily make you more cake of any flavor, but please let go of me first." She smiled at his excitedness at cake. Anyone that interested in sugar seemed like a good person to her.

Doc continued to eat his noodles, remaining quiet.

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

He let go. "okay what was I saying..." He paused. "Oh yeah! Ax, you're number one, bae. The rest of you..." He sprinted into the front room and slid on his knees, ignoring the rug burn as he stopped in front of Rob and poked him. "How long have you seen them, what are they, and how does she make the cake?" He got just a hair outside of  being too close and stared at him. "I must know..." His childishly serious tone was at odds with his serious expression. Perhaps him discovering that- his whole life- he actually hadn't been crazy was going to leave him a bit out of sorts for a while; and he dealt with that by reverting to a slightly childish, wildly emotional state of mind. Ax would've seen it maybe once before. So he'd know exactly how safe it was, despite how uncomfortable it could be.

"She makes cake by convincing something else that it actually wants to be cake and then providing the investiture basically the energy to undergo that change."

"In simpler terms, she tells play doh to be cake."

He can see me! Oh no, he can see me! Cup shrunk and shied behind Rob’s neck.

“I don’t see them,” Rob said. “I only see my own.” He looked for Cup, keeping his face neutral, though he didn’t like the fact that this person was scaring her.

“And everyone here has a tough past and a reason to be irritated, not just you. Radiants need to Break.”

"Flid's right. I sorta just yell at it until it becomes cake." Leona added. 

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

He paused, looking at the small one around his neck. "Yes I can see you. I like to pretend I can't. People poke me with needles and shock me if I let them know I can." He stood, then pointed at the chair and followed her 'instructions'. "Become cake!" Nothing happened. He looked at Leona- once again pretending he couldn't see the spren around his neck. "Why didn't it work?" He asked curiously, sincerely not understanding. Well... that was probably since he must've been suppressing it and everything else with it since he was incredibly young.

"You also need to provide it with the necessary energy to change itself.  We call it investiture and you don't have any free floating enough to offer it any."

[Sherlock Holmes he/him]

Ax stood nearby, smiling.

[Eluvianii he/him]

Edwin eyed Doc. He had shown no reaction at all at what had just happened. "Umm, Doc?" he started. "Did you, know, by any chance? I mean, that Jason is..."

Does Doc have spanreeds?

Also, how familiar do you think your Radiants are with the effect Sha-thoexis has on ordinary people? @everyone

@Dr. Dapper

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

Jason hummed. "Okay... Huh... what energy?"

Spanreeds would be horribly inefficient when you have electronic communication. I'm sure they exist, but they're probably rare.
