I'm not entirely sure. Kobold, were you going next, or did you want me to have Autumn drag Backtrack out the door before Reader starts talking again?
-
I predict my signature will grow rather crowded, if this continues. (Yes, I'm stealing the Remington one. Why did you even think you had to ask?) Metaphysical sock puppets? Please tell me I'm not the only one who kind of wants to see this.
-
Question his purpose, like in this song? Or just ask a bunch of questions, like in this one?
-
I confess I have difficulty not picturing the Panda as this guy, which only makes him more awesome. I know, I know, it's taken me long enough. Blame my teachers. (I'm loving it so far, though.) Argh! I wanted to see that movie! Hopefully, my brother and I will be able to kidnap our sister from school one day soon and take her to see it. (We did that for Winter Soldier, but unfortunately couldn't do it for Guardians of the Galaxy. So maybe we can make it up to her with Big Hero 6.)
-
I was going to try and justify it on the grounds that Koschei had zero qualms about killing Epics who didn't join him, but then I remembered Vondra's firing squads…. Maybe Vondra justifies it with "He didn't mind working with Epics, and neither do we. Now quit your whining"?
-
This must happen. I kind of want to write an alternate ending where Lightwards is flogged by deranged PETA members, but I don't want to give them free publicity. This must also happen.
-
Because he wanted his dinosaurs on the ground, and he knew he could just raise them when they went splat. Never mind the trauma going splat would cause those poor dinosaurs. I remember, but I don't remember which parts, or how much she got. I do remember her caramelizing different plants, but not how many plants she got to. :/
-
Because Lightwards, being the wonderful boss he is, told his devoted dinosaur Warriors—the ones that owe their lives to him and follow him wholeheartedly like a pack of very frightening puppies—to throw themselves off the edge of the museum. (Does Lightwards feel guilty yet?)
-
I'm trying to picture it and….the more I see it with her, the less sense it makes. She'd be more of the type to gain the power to, I don't know, emit one of those high-pitched wails that only teenagers can hear, render patrons unable to operate the printer, and freeze teenagers in place so they are forced to listen to her rants about their character flaws. (She had a very low opinion of teens.) Weakness: A teen reading and genuinely enjoying a classic piece of literature. (She was nearly pleasant the day I checked out The Count of Monte Cristo.)
-
I'm sufficiently confused, so I think it was appropriately cryptic. He seems more like the type who would frequent his university library and verbally abuse the interns. Though I can see him and my high school librarian getting along quite well. Oh, jeez. I hope she didn't become an Epic too. (Though I'm somewhat tempted to Epic-i-fy her just to see what her powers might be. )
-
Well, I now understand a good more of the reputation titles than I did before. I know about the evil librarians part. And, sadly, I can say it's not entirely fiction. The librarian at my high school was horrible. She once stood up in front of an entire library of students there to do their homework and crowed "The library is not the homework center!" Their crime? Printing more than one page. At an affluent high school that could certainly afford the ink for students to print multiple pages. (Didn't stop her from threatening to charge people a dollar per page.)

"You seem to be smiling an awful lot." "Maybe I just love homework." It's mostly articles I have to read, but they're all dumb. And too long. I am starting to think there's some sort of conspiracy here, though I'm too busy reading Warbreaker to figure out what that conspiracy might be. (Just started chapter 9.) Oh, you mean where [REDACTED] meets the [REDACTED] and they see the [THING] in the [PLACE]?
-
I love Nightblood, too, but I think I like Lightsong a teeny bit more. (Hard to say, though—it's full of awesomeness.) "You're a library science major." "Which is why I need to do theology homework." "…" "I'll be working with books, right? Chances are, I'll come into contact with a theology book sometime in the future. I'll need to know…um…where to put it so it…uh…doesn't feel lonely?"
-
I have. Nightblood is rather…um…sociopathic is a good way to put it, but I love Lightsong so far. And I'm glad Sanderson has the whole book up on his website for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that I can read it and look like I'm doing homework.
-
Welp, looks like I'm about to pass Brandon in rep. If that's heresy, Kobold, then I have one thing to say. Sorry. Couldn't resist.
-
Depends on which edge of town the pandas invaded from. The church is near the southwestern edge, so if they were nearby, then the chances are pretty good the church caught fire.
-
The prologue was a bit disturbing, but it had the same effect on me as Steelheart's: It convinced me I cannot stop reading. (Good thing I have a phone that lets me read wherever I want. )
-
In other news, I started Warbreaker. That prologue. O.O
-
Saccharine: Reminding us all that "Yandere" should be pronounced "AAAAHHHHH PLEASE HAVE MERCY I WOULDN'T DARE HURT SOMEONE WHO WEARS SUCH AN AMAZING HAT PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE AHSGDIDVDIDGDJDGEISHZ" since her first post. O.o
-
That's fine.
-
That would make a lot of sense, actually. It could be staffed by semi-retired City Guard soldiers who hold the senior positions and train young or new Guards to work with Epics. The club could even be a required part of academy training.
-
I can vouch for that. It's nowhere even close to game-breakingly powerful. BTW, the town is called The Dalles, not just Dalles. (Don't ask me why Oregonians thought "The" was needed, but apparently it was. ) I really, really like the Panda so far.
-
"You've got two futures: You and I hit the town, or I blow up the universe." Yeah, not romantic at all.
-
Fortuity+ power to blow up the universe= perhaps the weirdest threatening/romantic (?) pickup line in the history of ever I don't have a problem with it, either, so long as it's not too insane.
