Curiosity

Definitely weird. Seeing as Wayne is against logic, he might like talking in High Imperial. However, it's too upper class and snobby in his era, so I doubt that he'd start speaking that way. I've never been proficient in High Imperial, but I've always liked it as a way of identifying Sanderfans. I've always liked how the Parshendi hummed to certain rhythms, be they Curiosity, Anger, or Skepticism. Plus, Pattern, among other things, hums, albeit in a much more mechanical way. And I am deeply fond of Pattern. Whistling doesn't convey that double association and play on words. Plus, if you know me in the real world, you would notice my tendency to hum snatches of song at odd intervals. Well... I tried not to kill it. Hopefully no more cats will be harmed in the making of my posts. Maybe I don't actively kill cats, but am attracted to cats that are about to die. Maybe I'm a catdoomspren. Are you a conspiracy theorist, or just another random Illuminati? Again, I'm not terribly proficient at it, but I enjoy baffling some people with it. I perhaps think a thought in High Imperial once a day, but then I don't know the grammar enough to be confident in saying it correctly. I'm a fan of the Unicyclist just because he's pointedly weird, but I ironically felt the most emotional connection to Mr. Meh. (THEY KILLED HIM! WHY?!? ) I also have a soft spot for Backtrack. I hope his ever-cool sunglasses stay unharmed. The thing I enjoy the most about the RP is the feeling of impending doom for Portland. I watch all of the pieces coming together with a niggling anticipation that the they'll eventually destroy each other. Honestly, I like very few characters, but I read hoping that people like Lightwards, Corpsemaker, and Lucentia all get their comeuppance. Funtimes, I hope, will get some redemption. The vanillas are the most sympathetic characters, and I hope that they finally bring a Reckoning even as Oregon is destroyed.

What's your favorite word in the English language? Why did you join the Reckoner's RP?

If I were to play you in chess, how long would I last? And why does your pony have a mustache?

I have been somewhat tentative about starting an AMA because it seems rather self-centered and I wanted to ask you all questions as well. However, I came up with an idea that seems to mitigate this effect. If you ask me a question, I will answer it and, in return, make sure that I ask you a question. If you have an AMA, I'll probably do it there, if not, this thread should work. I'll still try to ask questions of my own volition, but this can be a dialogue thread. Disclaimer:

It weirded me out that Wayne was a teenager. AoL

This is a good point, but could it be that if there wasn't any thinking life on a planet, that it wouldn't be in Shadesmar? (I'm slightly confused by this WoB.) I'm going for Sel, because WoB (see all links) indicates that the Dor is in the Cognitive Realm there, wreaking havoc. It's very dangerous. This and this might be helpful.

Eh... Ruin. I could stave its Intent off longer than Odium, maybe giving me enough time to Splinter it and evenly distribute it or give it away or something. Would you rather eat only chouta for a month straight or have a magical disease from Ashyn? Let's say it's a pretty bad disease, like mono or something.

What's been your favorite/least favorite thing to transcribe in the last few years?

We're assuming this is Sel?

When I saw this, I liked it a lot. My nerd brain, however, cannot resist pointing out that the rep system is an end-positive system, not end-neutral like Awakening.

I can attest to the fact that I can lick my elbow and that I have not had any episodes of psychopathic or murderous outrage. Meanwhile, on topic: Some historians draw sketches of romance between Johannes Brahms and Clara Schumann. This romance is speculated to be in the form of what is colloquially referred to as a "crush".

I'll take a spren any day. At least I've liked the spren I've seen so far. Would you rather... Have pewter drag effects every morning, or spend every afternoon with Wit interrupting you every five minutes?

What made you join the Reckoner's RP? What do you do in real life? How many quesadillas do you consume in an average week?

It would have to be the proximity alarm, then.

I'm casting my vote for Moogle this time around.

Elend?

I'd probably thrive more in the nobility, but the moral ramifications of skaa treatment... that makes me question what I'd want. Skaa rebellion has more moral impetus. Harmony. It's the Cosmere religion that makes the most sense for that context. Would you rather constantly store tin or zinc?

Is it related to food?
