Voidus

Nicrosil and Duralumin speed up a burn drastically but it's not instantaneous, more metal should just let you sustain the burn for longer, not necessarily stronger.

Bands spoilers

Given that she's one of the top Epics capable of instantly causing genocide and is probably quite willing to do so if needed I would definitely say that is a good thing. Also if you were you'd be in a relationship with Nighthound. Which is the kind of thing that nightmares have nightmares about.

Yeah you say what the person above you is known for. For example now I can say for organizing Chicago signings.

I'm sure Mary would probably disagree with you.

Yeah IIRC it was a silver pool, one of the reasons I was sure it was Harmonys was for this reason black+white = grey, metallic grey is silver. EDIT: Nope, it is indeed blue, at the time I also speculated that it was reflecting the sky.

Unless you wanted to post anything from Backtrack, though there's not much to respond to at this point

Also because Voidus stabs people who say that Reckoners is cosmere, and I really don't want to spike Brandon.

That's just really terrible, if there's one thing I can't stand it's parents who can't support their children. Mrs. Voidus' parents have split up and he's gotten remarried recently, and since then she's heard from him once a year to wish her happy birthday. It makes me really, really mad. But if you're not getting the emotional support you need from your parents then you know what to do right? Go to chicago and kidnap a cute server from a casino.

Teleport him here so I can look after him? (Sometimes I legitimately forget that you're not Funtimes, although I suppose you manage to make friends by being awesome rather than kidnapping them)

Still technically possible I suppose but I highly doubt it.

Drats. I was hoping to get some confirmation on whether or not it's technically allomancy or feruchemy, which would have quite a few implications. Like being able to sense it with bronze.

Someone (Pathfinder I think) Brought up before that Sazed stored some while stationary at some point in a lock. Also now that I think of it while he was studying he was storing some, so it's possible at least, though maybe not as effective.

MV post up, because I couldn't resist a classic tsundere trope once I'd thought of it. I'll probably edit in a Neverthere section later when I feel like I'll do her justice.

Staring into a darkened street with a blush MV refused to look at Backtrack again until she had her emotions under control. She didn't even notice the low noise permeating the street or the slight rattling of windows, she had only just heard what sounded like dinosaurs of all things and begun to look up when Backtrack had grabbed onto her and pulled her along with him. "What-you-why-" She spluttered as she followed the Epic into an abandoned building. Is this a motel? What the hell does he think we are!? I haven't even decided if I actually like- Backtrack placed a finger on his lips as she was about to burst into a tirade, causing her to blush even further. "They're leaving!" Backtrack whispered to her "That means they're going out to do stuff. Bad stuff. And by bad I mean it'll get us killed if they decide to take us along with them." Huh? Leaving? Who is? MV thought frantically, thoughts feeling to slowly swim into her mind through a rush of blush induced bloodflow. Suddenly realizing what had happened she groaned softly and bashed her head against the wall. I am such an idiot. She peeked out the window along with Backtrack, watching the stream of Epics and dinosaurs. There was however one Epic she didn't see leaving, the one she really really didn't want to meet. She shuddered as a chill hit her spine, face going from blushing crimson to pale in an instant, leaving her with a distinctly odd feeling of fear and light-headedness. "If, uh, that seems like a good idea to you. You're in charge." MV suddenly realized that he'd been talking again. "Huh? Oh, uh yeah sure. Wait for a bit." She mumbled back as her brain caught up. The Epics slowly departed as Backtrack and MV waited in silence. They waited for another few minutes before tentatively stepping out. MV could see a few curious but scared looking people watching the museum, unsure what to do now that it was back at ground level. She almost felt a strange urge to go and comfort them, but no that wasn't her way. It would only end up hurting them anyway. "Let's go." She said to Backtrack, grabbing his arm and leading him this time as they walked towards the museum. She had just entered and was admiring the scenery when she heard voices from deeper inside. "...they all left already? But what reason could they have? Doesn't seem particularly rational." A low male voice said, before a higher pitched womans voice replied in agreement and delight. An odd couple walked into view, startled for a moment at meeting others in the museum. MV thought she vaguely remembered one of them from the other day, but a whirlpool of fear and confusion did not make for good facial recall. He was dressed in a purple suit, which was the part she remembered. Well that and his rather impressive beard. The woman holding his arm looked like something out of a Jane Austen book. Oh god some of them were still here. "Um... Hi?" MV ventured shyly. Neverthere waited inside the walls of the Dominion, bored. The big meeting that morning had been a bit of a disappointent, should she bother tracking the two who went in search of Chimera down? He wasn't all that dangerous by himself, and from what she knew of the Epic he wasn't particularly likely to ally himself with any of the major factions. No, that trip would just be wasted. Perhaps she should check on Corpsemaker himself instead? But she knew too little about how his powers worked. Would he be able to kill her through her projection? Or cancel her powers? A cancelling Epic was a problem, a High Epic canceller was something nearly unheard of, and a major threat to other Epics. Perhaps just keep an eye on him from a distance then? She almost missed it, a subtle but repeated buzzing noise. Something sounding back at her real body. She shifted her mind back to her body, holding a hand up to her neck as she rolled it to one side with a satisfying cracking sound. "Now now, what's going on here?" She muttered. She tapped lightly on the keyboard in front of her, causing the screen to come to life with a small warning message. "Proximity alert? Bit early for anyone to be coming home." She pulled up the camera feeds from the street, hoping it would at least be something exciting like a lovers secret rendezvous. Instead she was treated to the sight of two large mechs walking down the street, or more accurately one walking and the other teleporting. Epics. Epics from the Dominion. And there was little chance that their arrival here was a coincidence given what she'd been up to that morning. But how had they found her? They couldn't have taken out the MEE already and even if they had no one there knew anything about this house. "Ah whatever, no time to worry about that." She muttered as her hands flew across her keyboard, setting up traps, triggers and cutting the lights. A teleporter was a problem, but most had limits on their abilities like needing line of sight. Her escape should still work. She synced her mobile up to the computer, a series of timers popping up alongside a few checkboxes. The first timer hit 0, she didn't hear anything but she knew that a house about halfway down the street would be bursting into flames at that moment, the occupants were away, which was a pity because they'd been singing last night and the god-awful noise had kept distracting her. Still maybe they'd left the dog inside. She ran from the room, heading towards the pantry where she expertly prodded the wall, causing it to rotate just enough to fit her small frame through, she then closed it behind her. An escape tunnel may be a bit cliche but it paid to be careful when you made it your business to go around insulting demigods. The tunnel didn't go very far, just into the backyard of someone on the next street over, she crouched carefully at the exit, moving before she knew anything more might just put her in an even worse situation. She closed her eyes and sent out her projection, appearing back inside her own house and peeking out of a window to watch the two Dominion Epics.

What about compounding?

Might do, I'm more worried about just being so stressed if I don't take something now that I'll be equally unable to focus, they tend to be pretty predictable in that they happen late at night (Well, early in the morning I suppose)

Nostalgia? Should be. Calamity spoilers

Have really floppy skin while their muscles shrank?

Yeah probably, they're called clusters because I get a bunch of them over a period of time, the headaches themselves don't last too long, usually only an hour or so.

5 1/2 months until we can add Voidus jr. as the forum baby to the list. I make no apologies for being one of those annoying people who keeps mentioning their child. I get to read cosmere novels to someone who isn't allowed to say no and I am excited darn it!

9 AM interview tomorrow morning, it is currently nearly 4AM. Yesterday my brain decided it would be a great time to start another cluster so now I am operating on very little sleep and have to decide whether or not to risk taking opiates to deal with the pain but risk not being as focussed in the interview. It's for an IT position that would be absolutely awesome, pays well and has long term prospects which is ideal now that we have a growing family.

Depends how exactly you were changed to cope with it, if it just gave you magic pewter-style strength then it depends how exactly it scales to how much you tap, does it just give you enough to not be crushed and that's it? Or does it just greatly increase your bodies compressive strength? In which case pulling your leg up to walk would be impossible without snapping every muscle fiber.

Saying that you have powers is not a great way to avoid being spiked by the DA But you're awesome and always helping out with quotes so you're good.
