Just heard a great band joke. How do you get 2 piccolos to play in tune?

Radriarc was petrified. Seeing a man impaled directly in-front of you is a lot different than seeing an impales corpse. Suddenly, steam filled the room, he felt himself being dragged out of the church. Radriarc gladly obliged. Once on top of the roof, he could see the figure in red through a skylight. Who are you? @I Used To Be A Fish @Frustration @Negative_Null

“Oh, I’m not an investiture user.” The lie rolled off Radriarc’s tongue quite easily. That’s what I was afraid of. We are in the city of Elendel, on the planet Scadrial, in the universe The Cosmere.

“So it’s sort of like Allomantic Chromium? But long range? Wow. That’d decimate a battlefield. Well, I’m glad we managed to get out of there before they could get it.” “Speaking of Investiture, what type do you have? I saw you floating down from the tower, and I think I saw you pull out a time bubble in the sewer. Are you an F-Iron A-Bendalloy twinborn?”

“Yeah, you wouldn’t understand those terms if you were a native Scadrian, and yet, I get the feeling you’re confused for a whole different reason. Where...where are you from Miera?” “Oh dang.”

Radriarc ran up to the boy and spoke softly and intensely. “Listen here, we did not kill these men. But their associates will think so. I’d be willing to bet they have scouts in this area, already reporting that some of their operatives are down. Do you want to know who will be included in that report? Me, him, the girl,...and you. Now, do you really think it’s a good idea to be calling attention to yourself when there are people willing to operate well outside of the law coming directly for us? If you want to live, you need to come with us, now.” Radriarc led the group to an abandoned building tucked in an unnoticeable spot a few blocks away. It wasn’t enormous, but it was very spacious. It would have resembled a small warehouse, if it wasn’t for the fine oak floors and the skylights in the ceiling. “I passed this building earlier as I was wandering the city. Some locals told me this is an old Church of the Survivor. There used to be dozens of pews lining this room. It only has rectangular skylights instead of the now traditional glass dome. When a more modern church was build a few streets over, this one fell into disrepair. Now, nobody comes in, I think the church just uses it for storage. We should be safe here, at least for now.” Radriarc turned to the girl. “I don’t believe we’ve been properly introduced. I’m Radriarc.”

Radriac gasps. “Functional Synthetic Shardblades?! So there’s no Nahel Bond? I’ve heard rumors of things like that on Nathalis, but they always seemed like one time things. Something that couldn’t be repeated. But 4 of them! If they managed to make some, why do they need your notes? Are there any more?” Mentally, Radriarc shrugged. If he’d already revealed that he was Cosmere-Aware, there was no point of denying it further. “Uh you said there were more operatives in the area? I don’t suppose someone yelling for help would alert them, would it? We need to hide, now. I think I know a place, c’mon.”

“By the way, what’s your name friend? I’ve given you mine. These men here, they were chasing you. You seem to be an amiable fellow, so I’d assume they were not. But I have to ask...did they deserve to die?” “Why were they chasing you? And with 4 Shardblades?!? How did Scadrial men end up with Shardb-” Radriarc mentally chided himself, he shouldn’t have revealed he knew what a Shardblade was. He was supposed to stay under the radar! This whole mess could ruin everything...

“Where are your parents?” Radriarc felt sorry for the girl, a grisly murder like this shouldn’t be seen by children. Innocence is such a fleeting, precious thing. “Oh nothing.” He said, not wanting news of a murder like this to cause a panic. “We should leave.” Radriarc whispered to the stranger, “we shouldn’t be found like this. Now would be a really bad time for me to be framed for murder.”

Lol, well what’s the most OP character that has a real number. Or say, a range. Like, has any normally-OP character been as high as 2300?

Just out of curiosity, what’s the most OP Alleyverse character that’s been approved? Like index-wise, what was the power number?

Radriarc followed the stranger out of the sewer. “Oh. That’s convenient. For a second there I thought we’d have to continue the chase scene that started this whole thing. Well, I’ll be going then.” And so he left, never to return. Radriarc followed the stranger out of the sewer, to find the 4 shardbearers dead on the ground. “What the...” “My name is Radriarc. I’m uh, not from around here. I was just minding my business when I got roped into all this.” Radriarc walked over to where the 4 Shardblades had materialized next to the dead men. “Anyone want one of these?” he said, nudging one with his foot.

The stranger stopped before going farther into the sewer. “What are you doing?! Keep going!! Those guys have Shardblades!! I’m sure that scream was just....someone practicing opera or something.” @Chinkoln

Radriarc looked down at the nasty sewer, then at the approaching voices. Ironically, I think I’d be safer up here, he thought, I mean, what are the odds they have a weapon that can- The men entered the alleyway, each carrying a Shardblade. Oh no.... Radriac gulped, and jumped into the sewer, unsure of whether the men had noticed them.

Radriarc arrived at the tower, and was immediately ran over by the floating man. Before he could utter a single word, the man picked him up, and ran to an alley. “What the heck?!?” Radriarc wondered how the man could carry him so easily, and then still manage to sprint away from the tower. Perhaps it is related to the way he managed to float down the tower, Radriarc thought. “Okay, what in the world is going on here?!? Who are you? Who are those guys chasing us, and why am I being chased?!??” Radriarc noticed the other man in the alley. “Oh, hello there.”

Radriarc walked down the unfamiliar streets of Elendel, wondering what he had gotten himself into. I knew I should have listened to the elders, He thought to himself, why did I ever decide to leave? Suddenly, something caught his eye. In a nearby tower, there was some sort of commotion. He saw a man come out onto a balcony and...holy crap is he about to jump?! Radriarc watched as the man kept off the tower, only to float down! I’m going to regret this, Radriarc thought, as he ran to the tower to investigate.

*sputters* The Hokey Pokey is a work of ART. Best Song/Dance EVER. Second only to the EFY sandwich dance of course.
