No problem. I wanted to be accurate

YAY subforum! This is almost as exciting as the signing I went to today!

Thanks! I'm slightly ashamed that I don't know what verbatim means, but I recorded it and then transcribed it if that's what you mean.

Thanks! I was honestly a little bit surprised that no one had asked that yet. And what interested me was that Reod Elantrians aren't like Drabs in that they don't have innate investiture, but are halfway through a transformation, and so are flickering between alive and dead.

AAAAAHHHH that was amazing. He got a picture of me in my shirt! Here are my questions and his answers: mail-mi: So I have a lot of questions. Brandon: Okay. M: Could you spike Elantrian-ness? Like, could you Hemalurgically spike Elantrian-ness? B: Theoretically, yes. M: Could you out of a Reod Elantrian? The zombie ones? B: Um, yes you could. M: You could? B: So what you would be spiking there is their connection to...to the planet, first. That's gonna be the big important thing. So you're going to overwrite your connection. Um, and then you're going to....it's going to be a complicated process because you're going to have to spike the actual ability to have been transformed, that's gonna be harder. M: Okay. B: Does that make sense? M: Yeah, so it's gonna take two spikes. B: It's gonna take two spikes. M: Alright. B: And you gonna have to get the right connection to the right place. Let's say you spike somebody from MaiPon, and then you spike an Elantrian, you're not going to be able to use it, you're not connected to the right area. M: Okay. Most of my questions are actually about the Reod Elantrians. B: Okay. M: So, could they be felt by Lifesense? B: They would, um...they are in the middle of a transformation. I would say that yes they could be, but you're going to get like a stutter is what I'd guess you would get, it's like you would get a...a flashing. M: Because they're kind of alive, and kind of not alive. B: Yeah. And so, yeah, you'd just get a flashing sort of....something. M: Okay. What would a Shardblade do to them? B: Um, a Shardblade would...oh boy. A Shardblade...a Shardblade would still be dangerous to them, um, the trick is, um, the Shardblade's gonna treat them half alive, half dead. So, it probably would be kind of a flicker, so it depends on when you hit them. It might cut the arm off. M: It might cut the arm off... B: And it might just leave it dead. M: So can you affect them with Emotional Allomancy? B: Yes. M: How easy would it be to pull metal through them? B: Pull metal out of them.... Easier, M: Easier than a regular human? B: Yes. M: Okay, I have a couple more. Is Nightblood's sheath made out of aluminum? B: That is an excellent question that nobody has asked me yet! Um...I will RAFO that. M: Oooh, I get a card. I got the card. B: That is an excellent question. M: Okay, and um, I have one more. Acutally, two more. Does a more Investiture-poor world make it so its magics are easier to use off-world? Because, you said that Scadrial is really Investiture-poor, and it can be used easily off-world, but Roshar is very Investiture-rich, and how can you get stormlight off of Roshar? B: Yeah. Um, I would say that there is a correlation. M: There is a correlation? B: Mhm. M: Okay, cool. And then, just one more, shouldn't the rest of Roshar be more Earth-like, more Shinovar-like, kind of, with Cultivation on Roshar? B: Um, you are mistakenly assuming that Cultivation means Earth-like flora and fauna. Roshar is very bountiful, and, um, like it's not a barren land. Um, Roshar is very, um.... zas678: Thriving? B: It's thriving. Yeah, it just has a different ecology. Um, you're mistakenly assuming that our ecology is the only sort that can be bountiful. And then I got a picture! Ah, I'm so happy!

I'm here! I'm in the blue Adonalsium shirt.

Don't listen to him! The cookies are delicious and completely spike free! Take the cookie....eat the cookie...yessssss....

When you see the word "Door" capitalized and you think it has one too many O's.

The best kind of cookie.

Hello! The Dark Alley would like to personally welcome you to the 17th shard, and offer you a cookie as a greeting gift! Welcome!

Or perhaps, even, the Oregon RP ? You know what all of the Oregon RPers like? Cookies! Here, have one!

Welcome to the madness that is the 17th shard! Would you like a cookie? They're delicious, made fresh by the Dark Alley every day!

Welcome! Have a cookie.

I have an idea! You could have her have no control over her powers, and then have her freeze summer to turn it into winter! And, and, she could run away, trying to get away and save the town! Well, then we only have one character. We could give her a sister, that has to go out and find her and being her back. Of course, we need some romantic tension, so give her a super hot guy that she just met, and then she can get to love a hermit that lives with a horse. No, too generic. Let's go with a reindeer. Now for villains and comedic relief...we could always have the snow queen make a talking snowman. And the hot guy can be evil, and he only wanted the Snow Queen's sister for wealth and position. It's genius. You can thank me in the acknowledgements .

Hm...if we get Intervention with Sam...we have a legitimate reason for Unobservant!Sam!!

that nature of

Wait, would the "every action has a reaction" work with his passive power? I don't think so...so if he really really hated someone, or really really loved someone, everyone else would hate/love that person too. But with his active power, it would have the Newtonian effect.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking....? BusDriver x River Song O.o
