The Newcago Court

[Left he/him]

It's getting late for me too, let's get it going again in the morning(or whenever it is for all you weird time zones lol) haven't had something this good since the war ended

[Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her]

Queen Elsa knocked on the door of the room where the Duchess was unconscious. Slowly and cautiously, she opened the door and looked at her with worry, before placing the copy of Way Of Kings on the bedside table.

"I'm sorry what Fang did to you, Duchess."

She turned and exited the room, to sort out the castle. She was going to bring it down and build a more magnificent one. Twice as big.

[Brightness Random she/her]

Brightness Random blinked her eyes open in the darkness. Where on Roshar was she this time?

 

She found herself in a bed in a dark room. Wonderful, that told her nothing. Waking up in unfamiliar rooms was something she was had grown accustomed to, so she wasn't feeling particularly alarmed, but she couldn't remember which city she was in today. Glancing out the window, she realized it was still night out. Her eyes felt heavy. I'll figure all this out in the morning, she decided with a yawn. As she lay back down, something on the table beside her bed caught her attention. A huge book. That was odd.

 

She shut her eyes in exhaustion. ​Is calligraphy tomorrow? she wondered, I could've sworn I just got that assignment yesterday... I should probably get up early to get it all written out, just to be sure...

 

Rolling over, she went back to sleep.

[Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her]

The Queen walked outside, and looked up at the gigantic ice castle. "Is EVERYONE outside now?"

She lifted her hands and brought them down slowly. The sound of cracking glass echoed through the foundations of the castle. The castle soon was reduced to a pile of ice.

Queen Elsa stared at the pile of ice for a few moments before beginning the construction of the new one.

The Queen stamped her foot into the ground with a massive stamp and a large snowflake began to form and she turned and began to lift her hands up, eight levels of beautiful towers made of ice and steel. The Newcagoan flags hung from the highest tower. A drawbridge was created and the finishing touches were created.

Queen Elsa created an ice cloud and flew up to the balcony.

"Today!" She yelled to the crowds below. "Newcago Lives!"
The crowd erupted into cheers.

Then, she flew back down to properly reunite with Delightful, before collapsing into her sister's arms

[Voidus]

Voidus looked around bemused as the palace had collapsed and then reformed around him.

Finishing his 6th taco he started on his 7th.

[Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her]

Queen Elsa walked back into the castle to check that everything was okay, where she heard crunching sounds coming from the foyer.

"Voidus? You're still in here?"

 

She stared at the seven lots of taco crumbs sitting on his lap.

"You look like you enjoyed some tacos. How did you not get crushed by the ice?"

[Guest]

They teach calligraphy in school?

[Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her]

They teach calligraphy in school?

In some schools they do it in a writing subject, and some don't. I'm pretty sure.

[Cheese United he/him]

Cheese stared at the new castle in awe. "That kind of power... What I could do with that. I'd be the the king of the world!" This sentence was met with blank stares from the Newcagoans. Had he said that aloud? "I-I mean um" he stuttered. " I could give peas to the world.... Of orphans" he finished lamely. Then he flew away, becuase it was super akward.

[Brightness Random she/her]

Ha! Sorry for misleading you guys, but that comment about caligraphy was a lie built of truths.

Brightness Random, as a proper Vorrin woman, would definitley have a caligraphy class. I've only ever done caligraphy for my art class. However, I did have an AP biology assignment due this morning that I had to get up extra early to finish. So what she said was kind of true, but the statment was more to imply that Brightness Random had forgotten she was in Newcago instead of Roshar. She assumed the copy of Way of Kings was a textbook of some sort because that was what she was used to.

Sorry again for any confusion! (I think I'm getting a little too into role playing here )

[Guest]

I just thought you were using that as an excuse for something in real life. I've seen it done in RP before.

[Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her]

Roleplaying is awesome, Brightness Random Are you going to do another post for the character now to continue the story?

[Brightness Random she/her]

I suppose I will.

 

I'll be switching between this and homework, but I think that will be fine.

 

Brightness Random woke slowly to sunlight peeking in through the window. What...? she wondered, time to be awake already? Oh, storms-  she lept out of bed. "I'm going to be late to my lesson again!" she complained to no one in particular. "Mistress will not be pleased with me."

 

"...And I apparently slept in my clothes," she noted, grabbing a hairbrush from the room's dresser. With a sigh, she began brushing out the knots in her golden brown hair. "Well, all the better, I suppose. Less time to waste getting dressed!"

 

Within a few minutes, she was ready to leave. Halfway out the door, she suddenly retreated back into her room, shutting the door behind her. "Glove! Ah, how could I forget my glove?!" she exclaimed. The Vorrin custom still seemed strange to her even after all these months, but the asymmetric style of the blouses here did appeal to her. "Glove, glove... now where did I put that?" Pulling open dresser drawers, she quickly located a supply of gloves.

 

This time as she barreled out the door, she didn't turn around. Though she did attempt to tug on her glove while rushing down the hall. Rushing down the corridor at a rather un-ladylike speed, she frantically tried to remember the layout of the building. She had never been good with navigation, but all the traveling she had been doing lately had thrown her off more than usual. No time to get to know places, as she was in one door and out the other.

 

Finally, she reached a tall pair of doors. Not a moment to soon! she thought, throwing them open. "Mistress," she called, dashing in, "I'm sorry I'm so late, but I-"

 

She froze. This wasn't the library, but a grandly decorated ballroom. What? she wondered.

 

Poor, poor Brightness Random. It seems she's forgotten that she's in Newcago, not studying in Alethkar.

[Left he/him]

What happened to that orange thingy?

[Brightness Random she/her]

The orange and black thing that Winter saw? No idea.

[Brightness Random she/her]

Sorry Winter! I assumed it was a Parshendi/Voidbringer of some sort, but we hadn't gotten any confirmation yet on what it was or what happened. So there were Stormforms running around while the palace collapsed?

[Brightness Random she/her]

Alright. Sorry about that. I'm rather new to role playing.

[Guest]

This is freeform, to the best of my knowledge, which basically means you go with the flow.

[Brightness Random she/her]

Thank you Winter!

 

I've written some stories before, and this is just like a giant, muti-author story, so I'm just trying to have fun with it until I figure everything out.

 

Thanks for the tip, Snoopy.

[Brightness Random she/her]

Why not what, Winter? (Sorry if I'm getting a little lost on this end...)

 

By the way, is no one going to respond to Brightness Random bursting into the ballroom? I assume someone's in there...

[Guest]

Since I really have no idea what's going on...

BLAM! Snoopy blew off the dragon's head with a carefully placed gauss gun shot. Yes! Finally got it! Brightness stood up and brushed herself off, clearly stunned at the new turn of events. Snoopy hopped off the ice ledge and made his way toward her.

"You have achieved a 10 percent success rate," the robot stated in a flatly mechanical voice, "9 out of 10 scenarios resulted in disembowelment of the victim."

Calamity, Snoopy thought as he walked toward one of the imposing walls of the ice chamber, what if that happens again?

A hissing sound filled the chamber as a small hatch opened in the seemingly ice covered wall. Sunlight poured into the room as the stalactites and stalagmites flickered and disappeared. Snoop reached into his pocket and slipped on his aviators. Might as well keep on practicing, he thought. The DA doesn't have all these cool toys for nothing.

[Brightness Random she/her]

How's this, Winter?

 

Brightness Random found herself in an empty ballroom. It seemed to be prepared for a party of some sort, but no one was currently in. "Huh. Could've sworn this was the library..."

 

Running out of the room, she noticed for the first time how cold it was. Has winter come for a while? she wondered, I do so love snow...

 

Coming around a corner, she found herself facing at a huge, evil looking parshman carting off a battered and bloodied dog. For a moment, she couldn't decide which was stranger, the huge, white dog or the tough looking red and black parshman.

 

Giving a piercing scream, Brightness Random retreated back behind the corner. What was that?!

 

EDIT: Awww.... that's sweet, Snoopy, in an odd, "Let's shoot Elsa's ice dragons!" kind of way...

[Left he/him]

LeftVash opened his eyes. Or....he did something like that. There were so many images flooding into his brain that he almost passed out again. Struggling to if not control the input, at least manage it, the Baron tried to close his eyes again. They didn't really close though, because Lefty didn't have eyelids anymore. In fact, he didn't have a body. Actually he did.

It was the New Newcago.

It took a while for Lefty to begin to understand what had happened. Once he saw people walking around inside of his ice crystal body it started to dawn on him. The Empress had needed to use huge amounts of power to rebuild Newcago, and after all the ordeals she'd been through and the twisting going on and Lefty's own ghosty predicament, he must have been sucked in almost as investure. The Scholar doubted that Empress Elsa had regained the control needed to hold the building together, it was almost lucky he had been sucked in, his cognitive identity was probably the main thing gluing the structure together.

 

"Now what to do?...."

[Brightness Random she/her]

Dashing back down the hall, away from the strange parshman, Brightness Random began to notice for the first time that this building was by no means Vorrin. Where...? It suddenly dawned on her. She had left Alethkar, and indeed all of Roshar, behind her weeks ago.

 

But which planet is this?! she wondered, ducking into a small room, Scadrial? Nalthis...? she sighed, huddling against the wall, hiding from the strange parshman. Wait, parshmen? I'm not on Roshar anymore. How did that...?

 

Before she could decide what was happening, she heard a voice, almost entirely in Shadesmar, echoing: "Now what to do?...."

 

She snapped to attention. It had been so long since she had heard a voice from the cognitive realm. Sadly, she had lost her ability to visit at will some time ago. "Hello?" she called to it, hoping that the voice would hear her, "What realm is this? Am I on a shardworld?"

[Cheese United he/him]

Cheese sighed then flew down to the new castle noting that something felt off about it. Stepping into the Cognitive Realm, he gasped in shock as he realized that the Baron and the castle had somehow merged on a cognitive level, or something similar to that. He shook his head in shock, then stepped out from Shadesmar. He had to go see what was up with that Duchess. He stalked through the corridors, musing on the situation LeftVash had found himself in, and on the delicate subject of world domination. Soon he stopped however, noticing a Parshman hurrying off with a dead dog dragging behind him. He took off after it, and eventually came upon the ballroom. He started to panic when he accidentally rammed into it after it stopped. But at least he had found that Duchess. "Brightness! I'd suggest leaving!" He yelled, then scrambled away from the Parshman
