Is it a piece of Reckoner tech?

Does it have to be so expensive? Can't we just get mass-market paperback editions?

I pronounce it KO-chay

Is it an Epic ability?

Please, please, please tell me this is true!

Nonsense! The cookies. Are wonderful. It's not like they are spiked, or anything.

Yes, you really should have one. They are very healthy for you.

Oh, well, if you were already going to use it, I'll just figure something else out.

Words of Radiance.

That makes complete sense. There is no way that is not the truth.

Is it bigger than a loaf of bread?

Is it alive?

Blinks followed the Snake River out of Boise. He traveled in quick jumps from vantage to vantage, never going farther than 15 miles. The river snaked north, before eventually looping south and joining the Colombia. After a few moments of thought, he decided to continue downstream. The darkness inside him grew with each jump. He could feel it, building in the pit of his stomach,sucking his humanity away. There might not be anything left by the time he arrived at his destination, wherever that was. He didn't really care. Let the darkness take him. Eventually, the sun sank behind the western horizon, and the light started to fade from the sky. As much as Blinks wanted to continue, he realized he would have to stop for the night. His teleportation required a line of sight, so flashing around in the darkness was a bad idea. He materialized on a low hill, some distance from the river. He frowned, sniffing the air. Smoke. Blinks scanned the landscape, trying to pinpoint the burn. There. Columns of smoke rose from the next valley over. A quick flash carried him to the next ridge. In front of him was the smoldering remains of a camp. A movement in the distance caught his eye. Blinks took off his sunglasses, focusing on the source. There were a pair of people walking away from the camp, male and female. They appeared to be moving back towards the river. Blinks frowned. Some distance away, he could see a ever-so brighter patch of sky. A town. Blinks chose a point beyond the hidden town, a low ridge across the river. Light flashed, and Blinks vanished in a puff of ether. He landed on a low hill, overlooking the town. Chaos. Skirmishes were raging across the city, flashes of light too distant to make out much detail. A tower of ice rose from the center of the town, and several buildings were on fire. Interesting, Blinks thought. He sank down in the tall grass, content simply watch.

Because everyone dies.

Okay, thanks. Dibs on the name Polaris.

Has anyone used the name Polaris for an Epic?

Yeah, he's decent at avoiding detection. He'll also wait to actually enter the city until morning.

Nah, I want an evening arrival. Thanks.

Do you guys mind if I post a quick scene where Blinks arrives in The Dalles? He wouldn't do much, just sit down and watch from a nearby hill. Just an observer, no interactions with other characters.

Blinks could do it.

+1 There is?

I have one. An epic whose ability is to perfectly fry any type of food. His weakness is microwave ovens. Edit: His name is Crispy.

Thanks. I'll see what I can do. It's probably too late for Blinks to get involved in anything, so I'll keep him in an observational capacity for now.

Now that you mention it...
