I had dropped it in my excitement. I find that it had flipped over to reveal a message on the other side. "Also, Danny, do me a favor and say hi to Insight for me. It's been quite a while since..." Unfortunately my sudden desire to make a sidewalk pizza had left the rest of the message unreadable. I stare at it, confused. Did I ever give him my name? I don't think I did....and what is Insight? Quote YES! YES! AWESOME PLOT TWIST! YES! Lilliana walked out of the mansion happily. "So, Is there anything any of you want to do now? The next thing I want to do is meet Hoid." Quote Wait. Is the metallurgist... HOID!?!?!?!? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice Wax's butler shutting the door behind Lilliana. "Hey you! Make yourself useful and get me some water. Oh, also I barfed on your grass, so you might wanna clean that up." I smirk as he walks away and turn to Lilliana. "That's the evil butler right?

If this is right after the meeting with Steris, how long do we have until the Vansiher attack? And which attack is next? Is is when Steris is kidnapped?" Quote When I get home I'm actually gonna reread Alloy of Law =P Edit: I looked it up, apparently Tor has excerpts from AoL on their website. The wedding is tomorrow evening, so that's not too bad. I was worried it would be like a week or something and we'd have to do all sorts of stuff to make it work. here's the link to the chapter if anyone's interested.

After a small amount of looking, I found a bag of steel dust. I found the kitchen, got a glass of water, poured some steel dust in, and choked it down.

danex Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Quote Idea: We’re gonna have to do some time skipping eventually, but I don’t want to literally just time-skip, so we should have someone be a Cadmium misting. In-world time skipping. One of our Feruchemic People can be the exception and be a twinborn. And then we just have them only use cadmium for time skipping so it’s still balanced. 15 minutes ago, Random Bystander said: She grinned. "Well, you know what they say. Or rather, what Alcatraz says.
