  1. Laurelai waited in the Dark Alleys of Alleycity, she'd heard about the war, even been asked to join but instead she'd chosen to stay behind, it hadn't seemed like the DA was fully committed to a war yet. And after what she'd seen since joining them that was probably a good thing. She thought back to the ball, the charred bodies on the ground that had been struck down when her Bane exploded out of control again. Their corpses had then been consumed in the fires that had eventually brought down most of the buildings before a meteor finished the job. Best not to head to the frontlines of a war if just a skirmish involved someone bringing down a meteor. She directed her eyes downwards again, once more attempting to read through the thick volume that had been presented to her. A collection of some of the research conducted in the Dark Alleys, the secrets of Hemalurgy.
  2. Not really an easy way to compare the two, there aren't many overlapping effects and the things that they use as fuel are different. Allomancy uses solid metals, Surgebinding uses Stormlight which you might be able to standardize using the currency as a basis (eg. How long does one diamond chip last) but even that is subject to when it was infused. Without a universal fuel for comparison it's hard to say.
  3. Some personal stuff has just come up so it may be a little while before I can get anything up.
  4. UP WITH THE [extra-spiked] COOKIES!
  5. Restart is probably going to be easier
  6. Voidus isn't exactly a Shard, 16 is an important number cosmerically so I wouldn't want to create fanon that undermined that and also just by nature. He's something similar but different. Although characters in-universe could definitely be mistaken for confusing him with one. As for how he ended up trapped, he built the strongest cage he possibly could to contain something so breaking it would be difficult and also leave him too drained to recreate the barrier when he leaves so the worldspike would be less protected and the Guardian no longer confined.
  7. Definitely. I'll make a longer post this weekend but sounds like we will be a go.
  8. We'll probably manage on a case-by-case basis. If it results in unnecessary spam we may have to lay down some rules but we have a great community so I trust that people will do the right thing. Basically, put some time and thought into anything you create, don't spam multiple posts or threads, and don't recreate something that already exists outside the Alleyverse.
  9. The sudden shift to her mind felt jarring but also somehow natural, as though this sudden affinity for the Dark Alley had always been a part of her. Laurelai made a mental note of her experiences, she would need to examine this later to determine if it would have any effect on an Essence Mark. But for the moment... She picked herself off the ground, looking at the party with fresh eyes. Some friendly abominations seemed to be getting things in order, rounding up some falling pieces of something that were raining down from the sky. Someone seemed to have erupted in flame and was slashing and burning everything in front of it. One section of flame came a bit too close for comfort, but pulling back gave her enough time to focus on the fire. She gave it a different history, one that led in a different direction. Still, that's going to leave a bit of a scar. She thought, examining the burn mark on her arm that the flame had left before vanishing. A familiar surge of Investiture erupted from within, her Bane lashed out at 4 nearby guests and blasts of electricity ran through their body. One seemed able to heal and recovered quickly, but the other 3 remained stationary on the ground. She watched them in mute shock. The bodies twitched for a few more moments but otherwise did not move. Dead. It had been a long time since her Bane had killed someone. Was there time to heal them? Forge their bodies back to health? It might not restore their souls but perhaps someone else here could... The fire and smoke around her cleared for a moment, she saw other figures standing nearby, all with spikes in their body that mirrored her own. Some of them headed through what looked like a hole in the world, a gateway to somewhere else. She moved sluggishly towards the gateway. Numb in body and mind.
