Landis963

I was ambivalent towards her in AoL, felt sympathy for her in SoS, and loved her in BoM. I love the entire cast, more than the original crew, even.

Terriswoman suggests "Ferring," and I suspect given her occupation that she is a Copper ferring, or a zinc ferring. Or maybe she's a steel ferring, and routinely burns through keyboards by inputting commands faster than the computer can accept. I thought for sure that she was a nicroburster, though.

He'd have to get really lucky, though. Maybe that was what he was trying after the restoration of Elantris. We don't know when exactly he got Feruchemy, after all.

Also The Eleventh Metal, The Allomancer Jak story from the MAG: alloy of Law edition, The Hope of Elantris, and a Stormlight novella if things with regard to Oathbringer don't go on schedule.

Beggars and such get him where he needs to be, and if they can't he's perfectly capable of infiltration in other ways, see also his stint as the Imperial Fool. There are other advantages to having a beggar as your default (costume is cheap to make and maintain, people don't care about your presence, etc.), but if he really needs to stay longer, or get someplace deeper, than a beggar would be tolerated, then he has other disguises. BoM Spoilers:

I pretty much assume that Hoid is a master pickpocket as well as illusionist and teleporter. Which is to say, he stole it. From whom, and why that memory is in a coppermind to begin with, I couldn't begin to speculate. Maybe it's a religious text of sorts?

Teenager fights zombies with bells.

Inside Out.

The antagonist of the pulp adventure snippet is a man with a gun that shoots ghosts, swears by "Shadows", and is trying to obtain a map. It seems a reasonable conclusion to draw.

Doctor Who?

That sounds about right. I'm sensing a really great story about how a masked Scadrian integrated herself so well into Thaylen society that she became the babsk of a native.

I still don't buy the skaze idea. For one, in order to make something as dramatic as the Red Rip, they'd need to be on Scadrial in force, and I don't see them abandoning their holdings on Sel unless absolutely necessary.

Oh right. The question stands, though. Just, you know, different person involved.

Dominion's dead, unless some new holder found a way to filter his power away from Devotion's. And those powers have had a long time to intermix.

Speaking of him visiting SoScad, now that the book is out... How in the world did the Lord Ruler visit there over ten years after his assassination?

Well then. That was a thing. What in Harmony's name are you doing, Kelsier?

Unless the single place the Tia-plates take you is a central nexus containing Tia-plates that take you to every other plate in the network. I was mainly thinking of the Aons that aren't etched into anything, which do indeed need to be drawn out every time.

AonDor has the distinct disadvantage that you have to write out all your code, basically from scratch every time. Maybe with experimentation and discovery of shortcuts you could eventually make assemblers and higher-level languages, but I foresee a lot of trial-and-error before that happens. Also, I'm detecting a big fat RAFO.

Yeah, that's roundabout the time I just started reacting to everything she did with "Oh, Taylor." In pretty much every context-appropriate inflection and meaning. She racked up quite a few uniques by the end.

Borderlands 1. Explanations in bold.

I know what you meant. And so long as he's running at those insane speeds at night through a desert, he may as well use the brassmind as a heat regulator (because desert nights get really cold really fast). He'd definitely be able to refill the darn things if he falls behind schedule. And I think Brandon RAFO'd the question of whether or not Bleeder was compounding. (It makes sense, though, because only one spike.) So just to lay out the consensus, for the Lord Ruler to survive a hypothetical trip to visit the Southern Scadrians, he'd need: Lots of steelminds, full to bursting One brassmind, moderately full. Several goldminds, full to bursting Lots of pewterminds, full to bursting. One cerromind, full to bursting. And last but not least, one bronzemind, full to bursting. (If he falls asleep at any point during the run, he becomes a pile of molten metal and carbon once the sun rises) He might need an additional cerromind and bronzemind, in similar states of fullness, just in case he wants to make a return trip.

Hint 4: It's a comedy shooter video game.

We are talking about covering half of Scadrial's circumference in less than 12 hours, 16 if we're feeling generous and he left on his journey before the sun technically set. For reference, Earth has a circumference of 40075 km. That's a distance of 20037.5 km that the Lord Ruler needs to, basically, run. That's just over 1669 km/h on the tight schedule, and just over 1252 km/h for the generous schedule. The most common passenger jet, the 747-400, only clocks in at 920 km/h.

Hint 3: The disembodied voice eventually tries to feed you to a vagina with testicles.

Gold, steel (for Compounded speed), and Iron at the very least (for Vin's coinshot highway trick). Possibly pewter and cadmium to weather the daytime, and bendalloy to lengthen the amount of ground covered at night.
