Arsenal has a very strange definition of "immorality." While various religions have banned various things for various reasons, I doubt any one of them has ever outlawed giggling.
-
Is there a trope for that? Kind of like Honor Before Reason, only more like Security Before the People the Freaking Security Exists to Protect?
-
Hey, at least Autumn had a reason for taking an unscreened Epic into a command center--a better reason than "I want the cute girl to see me kick cultist butt!"
-
Everybody needs one.
-
Darn. And I was looking forward to writing Autumn spinning in a swivel chair, singing "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" until he arrived.

Time for another WoK update! Rock has shared his story. The new citylord has arrived in Hearthstone in the past-times. Dalinar suggests teamwork. The other highprinces react. Finally, I might change my mind later on. I've done that with other characters of Brandon's. But right now, this is how I feel: -
UNLESS there was an Epic named Sparky who terrorized all of the Fractured States before falling to the Stormfather, an even more powerful Epic whose power had nothing to do with storms and everything to do with making people turn his name into a curse word! ... Kobold, what should Autumn do while waiting for Vondra to arrive so she can defend herself against the accusations of Captain Crankypants give her report?
-
Reader, you are a slontze. Also, you have First World problems. As for curse words, all I can think of is Fode, which was the surname of one of the families in my church back in middle school. It definitely sounds like swearing.
-
Characters have used it before in the Portland thread. In context, it does make sense--Oregon is notoriously stormy, so "storms" could become a curse word much the same way as "what the blazing sunlight" could become a curse in Arizona. (Plus it fits as a shoutout. )

My mom doesn't get the concept of "no spoilers." She'll actually ask for people to spoil the ending and get annoyed when they refuse. (Which is why I really want her to read the first Alcatraz book: she always reads the last page first.) That's one of many reasons why I like Brandon Sanderson so much: his books have enough surprises that, even if you catch wind of a major spoiler, you'll still be turning pages frantically to see what happens next. (That, and I'm the only one in my family who's read anything besides the Reckoners books, so I don't have to worry about my siblings reading them first. )
-
Figured. Oh well. I don't mind a few spoilers here and there, but having grown up with a sister who will read a book, and when you ask her opinion, will summarize the entire plot, including all the best bits, it's actually very pleasant to have friends who respond only with a picture of River Song.
-
I haven't gotten far enough to see why it's dying men who see those things, but if Funtimes had her way, all of the "samples" would be collected not however many seconds pre-death, but however many seconds pre-waffles.
-
Ah, yes, the glitterspren. Oddly enough, they resemble glitter. Do you think she'd attract enough that, before long, she'd resemble a cloud of glitter skipping across the Shattered Plains?
-
I'm picturing a scene where they flee for their lives as she laughs at a pancake. (I did. I think this would actually be a good save where Autumn is concerned--not to mention a blessing in disguise. So I don't think it's too soon.)
-
I have a Very Important Question for all of you. If Funtimes went to Roshar, do you think she'd actually repel logicspren?
-
A serial killer with the maturity of a fourteen-year-old. How charming.
-
You say that like it's a bad thing.
-
True, but say there was an area with a law saying Epics could kill with impunity. Would that trigger her weakness, or would that person have to do something that gave her a right to kill them under the law? Nice profile pic by the way, Mailliw.

Speaking of Murderlina...
-
If you look closely in the bottom corner, you can see Emma Runes' signature. All great artists sign their masterpieces.
-
In Babilar, you melted my heart But in I-oh-way, you froze it away In The Dalles, to stop a meltdown I'll give it to a vanilla...
-
I had no idea plot holes could be used to give pathetic characters super-powerful drinking buddies.
-
Murderlina, perhaps? I don't know; if I were a drunk Epic who played trumpet and saw himself as an angel of the apocalypse, breakup songs sounds like something I'd play, regardless of whether I recently went through a breakup or not.
-
Sober, he probably plays battle music and then quotes Revelation. Drunk, I'd imagine he either plays a single-instrument cover of "Yakety Sax" for trumpet instead of saxophone, or a sad breakup song like "You Were Meant for Me."
