    “That we’ll set up traps?” Max asked. —-— Wes’ dreams were vague and formless, slight pieces of his mind coalescing into tangible shapes only to reduce to nothing, like an easily broken snowflake. Swirls of colour worked past his vision and the image of pain was raw and fresh on his mind. He felt something on his back, he didn’t know what it was, but there was a mirror and he could see it was a bloody mess. Darkness, and color again. A building, a grey building. Millions of little grey buildings. And so many people, walking down roads and streets like robots, in perfect, unflinching loyalty and organisation. The shapes shifted and formed into a grey featureless blob. The blob swirled and pulsed, and it morphed into something else, a suit. A suit of a man, standing over Wes, Wes’ bloodied back. “That’ll teach you,” Mr. Itiah said, and the voice carried on, and suddenly Wes felt a warmth and everything faded to darkness again, a warmth like when he’d tapped that goldmind. And he felt happiness, like if he was wrapped up in a warm blanket, and he was protected. He was protected, and appreciated. And with a little smile Wes woke up.

    Shez/Alask waited, looking around the flat. —-— The others were coming. “You saw nothing,” The Haunt growled and suddenly the dust dispersed, nothing holding it up. And the slight chill in the air began to fade.

    I hadn’t realised how much of a stink dead bodies could be until I was staring at one. Really, movies seemed to really romanticise dead bodies, as weird as it sounded. You had action movies with corpses strewn all around the place, horror with a dead body around every corner, and of course, murder mysteries. The woman turned away and covered her mouth. At this point I was just remembering that yes, dead bodies do indeed smell and turned away as well as a pungent aroma suddenly filled my nostrils. The annoying thing was if the lady hadn’t reacted to the smell I probably would’ve continued as normal. That was the nature of my ability, after all. It was weird. Sometimes I forgot basic facts, such as my own existence, and when I forgot those facts, physics seemed to alter locally to fit my incorrect self. I could literally walk off a cliff and only fall down when I realised I was walking off a cliff, like something straight out of the Loony Toons. I would describe it as an Alcatraz Talent, but as a RP character I wasn’t supposed to know what that wa — wait, what’s a Talent again? It meant that I’d forgotten entirely that corpses smelled which is why I hadn’t felt the smell until the woman had brought attention to it by reacting. It is a confusing ability, I’ll give you that. “Deader than a doorknob,” I agreed. “Though I never really understood that phrase.”

    “So, wait a second,” Cheh said, pointing to John and Arthos. “You both can bend all four elements?” Cheh was confused, but today had been a confusing day. “I feel like we have to do be honest with what we can do before we confuse each other any more. I can control rock. That’s pretty much my whole deal.” He looked to the new guy who’d arrived, and the guy with purple arms coming off him. “What about you two?”

    Mystery! If there’s one thing I’ve learnt about life, it’s this: you never know when you’ll need a coffin. Sure, sure, you might think you don’t need one, you might think that you’ll be perfectly safe from Death’s grasp on your own wedding day. But life is like a badly made pudding: no consistency. Death, however, is the opposite. It’s completely consistent, like a well made pudding. Mmm, pudding. Thriller! Everyone had a different reason to be at that wedding, that was for sure. Me? I liked weddings. The happiness was great, and while I didn’t really know this Apollyon guy too much, I knew the bride, and that was good enough for me to decide to attend, eve if they didn’t know it. When they handed out invitations, I couldn’t RSPV whether I was coming or not, because I didn’t need known whether I’d be there or not. Well, now I am here. I think. Romance! I had to say, though, the wedding had been looking good until the revelation. The reception was great, the food and pudding better than I’d expected and the atmosphere was just A+. It had the start of something, but, as I said before, life is a poorly made pudding, and yes, I’m sticking to that metaphor whether you like it or not. Comedy! I entered the scene just about the same time anyone else did. The whole drama at the main podium was just some stage play, I assumed — who knew, weddings were getting more unorthodox and I wouldn’t have been surprised if this Apollyon fellow was just playing us for laughs. Evidently not! Tragedy! While guests had begun to leave (perhaps due to the murder, you never know) I joined the few who were hanging around the ex-groom. My heart told me it was the wife, to collect insurance money maybe! But my brain told me I was in a RP, and there was no such thing as complex insurance fraud/murder within a RP of this type. Plus, they hadn’t been married yet, so maybe my detective instincts were a little rusty... Itiah! Looking over the body, I reached down and checked for a pulse. I nudged a woman who seemed shocked by the whole ordeal as well. “He’s dead,” I said. Then paused. “I think,” @Rebecca

    “I command the Canton forces. She commands a large chunk of the Ghostblood forces. We have an army of our own.”

    Max shook his head and shrugged. “Destruction of the city. Dominion over the Alleyverse. Standard evil army stuff, really,” he joked.

    Brillin made his way down the stairs and saw Nerin and Attayl talk to a young boy by the door. He kept his distance. Young boys on the street had a habit for gossip and Brillin didn’t want news of the “Koloss man in the broadsheets” hanging out in the parlour to attract the constabulary. Still, the boy looked like he was giving them trouble and so he walked closer. Heard the conversation about Lance. Heard the boy — Zeke — tell Attayl to come with him. “She’s with us,” Brillin said, though he said it while beside the doorframe so the boy couldn’t see who was talking, just that someone was.

    “I want to be seen,” the Haunt said. “I don’t want this.” —— Shez/Alask nodded. They had time for a detour. They found it interesting. They were in the Forge area, arguably this was the one place where people would appreciate their dual form.

    “Discussing plans,” Max said. “PlasmaCore isn’t done. They’re sending an army.”

    Cheh gestured to the water John had summoned. “Wait, you can manipulate the elements too?” He asked. “All of them?”

    Max frowned and gave his best clueless face. Because he was clueless, just about how she knew instead of about the Phoenix. But he was clueless nonetheless. “I didn’t,” he said and looked around. “If it was enhanced I’d probably be able to fend off my attackers better.” He didn’t mention one of them was wearing aluminium and the other was a coppercloud.

    Max shook his head. “Somewhere from the DA, definitely. Other than that, don’t know.” He smiled. “And I am a Rioter, but if any emotional Allomancer could control the Phoenix it’d be a bloodbath. Unfortunately, my regular Rioting would be too weak, even if aided by the AlleyStorm, to control something which has probably got a few dozen emotional stability spikes.”

    Max smiled, still very grateful for the healing. He felt back to his old self, like he could jump around and move without aching somewhere in the process. “Be my guest,” he said.

    Max observed the situation silently, using Althea for support. She asked how he was and before he could reply the whole situation with Alanis had happened. She touched him and stormlight flowed into him, and Max good as new. The effects of the itch poison had disappeared and all the cuts and burns from the explosion were gone. He stood up straighter, and even though he didn’t need to he still kept his hand on Althea’s shoulder. “Thank you,” he said, smiling. “First it was by chasing down a terrorist, and then ambushed by some people who pretended to be healers.” He extended a hand. “Max Tenira, head of Canton Operations. As for the Phoenix,” he shrugged. “I didn’t know it was possible to take control of something like that.” —-— “Thanks, sir,” Wes said when Mike gave him the cushion and blanket. He laid the cushion down near a wall and slept in a postion that most would consider very paranoid, with his back to the wall and sitting upright, blanket draped over all of him excels his head. In no time, however, he was also asleep.

    “Oh,” Cheh said, not understanding anything. “Of course,” He affected the universe? Cheh had just farmed, and he could Earthbend. There were millions of other people who could “affect the Universe” more than he could. But he didn’t say anything and waited for a response to Jessy’s questions. She talked about “worlds”, and Cheh thought he was beginning to understand,

    Max nodded. “Yeah.” He hadn’t noticed the similarities to their current situation before. But, even if there was a sense of inevitable doom, they could do something about it. Max looked up to the sky, and pointed to the figure of the Red Phoenix, leaving the city, a trail of flame following it bright enough to leave the sun in awe. “It’s a ‘she’, did you know that?” He said. He knew this wouldn’t be his last encounter with the bird, because it would keep hunting for him, that was for sure. And he’d keep on having to dodge. He pointed to Kumiko, in the distance, though he didn’t know she was a person, and thought she was another creature from a distance. “That one is leaving as well,” he said. He looked to the Dark Phoenix, and he frowned. “I don’t know about that one,” he said. “Hopefully they will be satisfied with destroying the building.” He looked to Althea. “There’s only the army left. We can do it. And we have this,” he reached out his hand, palm up, and rain from the AlleyStorm pooled in it. —-— “I’m tired too,” Wes said earnestly. “That Vortex thing was very intense.” He looked to Mike. “If you turned into the wolf it would make a very nice pillow,” he joked and laughed a little bit.

    “Entropy’s fist,” Price cursed quietly when she hit the ground. Asking if she was okay would be unprofessional, even for someone of his rank where he could get away with it. Instead he wrote on his ledger hurriedly. 25 foot drop onto stone ground — unable to land, but survived without injuries. The fact it didn’t look she was permanently injured meant the instinct had worked, just not enough to remove the feeling of a drop. So, it seemed that Intensity could reduce the Intensity of impact, making maybe a 25 foot drop feel like a 10 foot one and a 10 foot drop as nothing. Price wrote something else down. Test maximum threshold before death? After some thought Price scribbled it out. Test maximum threshold before death? — Too dangerous, save it for the Cahayans. Still, that fall looked like it had hurt. “Five minute break,” Price announced and lots of the scribes exited, probably to get something to eat. Price looked to Sagitta. “I think that’ll conclude the Fall Testing for today.”

    “I know that phrase,” Cheh said. In monasteries, that’s what the monks had told him and the others who’d gone there. That answers, or a teacher, was nothing without the student, or the question. He blinked at the glowing flame John produced and the wall he’d produced out of it. It seemed these benders didn’t need to do many actions to control their elements. Powerful indeed. “But I agree, answers would be helpful,” he said. “Why did you bring us here?”
  20. I think I am here.
    “For Yangchen’s sake!” Cheh said as he was suddenly in another location and there was a circular door. One of the people in the group (someone with some weird purple arms? —Cheh didn’t know what to make of it) told John he looked inexperienced and John came with a reply. Jessy was here, too. Moving towards the circular door, Cheh stepped back in surprise as it opened up automatically. John seemed to have flames around his form — so a firebender. But the doors had opened so one of them was a metalbender. Cheh shook his head. This was so, so weird. He entered into the place the door led to. “Do I press something?” He asked.

    Imagine someone’s confusion if they’d never read Mistborn and they just stumbled upon this poster in your room

    “EVERYONE ON THE GROUND!” Rob peeked behind the car and put his hands up, but making sure he could run away if need be. He didn’t want to be in a vulnerable position for the Voidbringers to exploit.

    Price smiled and it was now his turn to write something on his ledger, a tick. “We’re trying to test the limitations of this ability,” he said, growing a little bit excited. “Try jumping from the top of the ladder. And I wonder if the more ‘strings’ you attach, the greater the magic use?”

    Shez/Alask nodded and took the bar of chocolate. They put it near the face, and there was a mouth there, as part of Alask’s body, but it was hidden underneath the blackness and smoke-like effects. They took a bite and gave Lena a thumbs up. “F-Forge,” they said and walked in the direction they knew. They could have ran there at an incredible pace but they didn’t want to leave Lena behind. —-— “Me too,” Wes said. —-— “It’s okay,” Max said, but grateful she was there. However, he knew she didn’t like expressing in front of strangers. “It’s over now.” He opened his eyes.

    “Yes, please.” To Price it seemed attaching the ‘strings’ to the armour would reduce the intensity of the weight, making it lighter and easier to move around in. But lighter armour wouldn’t do anything for a fall.
