Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 Kay, this is a pretty out-there idea, but it's fun to think about. Yesterday, my friend and I were talking about what superpowers we might like to have. I thought about some pretty fun ones like teleportation, flight, and time-travel, but then I started thinking about books. I've always wanted to meet the characters I read about. But would I rather go into the book or... pull them out of the story? I played with this idea in my mind for a while and I determined that worlds like Scadrial wouldn't be the best to actually enter if you didn't know what you were doing. So I'd like to pull characters right off the page. Here's where it gets interesting. Obviously, logic is already screwed if I have that ability, but let's say I did have that power. At what point would I pull them out of their world? Could I... save people? I'd really like to get Marsh out of there the moment before he was spiked. Let's disregard what would happen to the storyline if a character was removed - if you guys had the opportunity, who would you save from what? 1
+Invocation Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 I'd yank Elend out before he gets killed. Introduce him to the Internet and let him have some fun in a mostly metal world with his allomancy. 3
Truthless of Shinovar he/him Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 Do shards count? Because if they do, if I could somehow pull Aoni of Skai before they were splintered, perhaps I could restore some measure of balance to the Cosmere, and introduce a shard to this world, and give everybody magic powers! 2
Toaster Retribution he/him Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 I’d pull Amaram out before he eats an Unmade and give him some fishsticks instead. That would do wonders for him I think. 5
Chromium Compounder Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 This is the premise of Inkheart, though with that it’s not about saving them.

ShardShaper he/him Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 Hoid. Can you imagine how much fun it would be to set that guy up in a political campaign? Or op eds? 2

One thing @Little Bear and I thought of, was that it'd be really funny to pull Kelsier the moment before TLR killed him. 1

Let's see...a world full of people who don't think magic exists, with a readily available system in which you can be virtually anyone at any given time without anyone the wiser and without actually leaving where you currently are? He'd love it. 1 hour ago, Shard of Thought said: One thing @Little Bear and I thought of, was that it'd be really funny to pull Kelsier the moment before TLR killed him. That would be hilarious. Also would probably bamboozle TLR and galvanize the skaa still, since it would look like he'd been raptured.

That was surprisingly anti-climactic. And this is... not the afterlife I expected." 1
Wander89 he/him Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 I think the go-to answer would be Kelsier. However, his death inspired hope into others and if he was "saved" how do we know that the plan would succeed? I don't think there was any other way. I'd pull out Elhokar, I think he was killed at the wrong moment just before he reached his true potential. 1

overlord stick Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 Unlike Alcatraz and you people, I love fish sticks.

Just ask my old middle school about bad fish sticks, they're experts. Fishsticks are great when you do them in a pan, or in the oven, or in the microweave (is that the correct name for it?). You can put them on pizza too.

TheGirlWhoLookedUp she/her Posted April 28, 2019 Posted April 28, 2019 I would save Moash’s Grandparents before they got arrested. That way, I’d also save Moash from becoming how he is now and let him have a normal life. 5
