Hey, thank you for bringing this to our attention! It's clear you put thought into it. I'll mention it to the other mods and see if we can get a response in about whether or not we want a rep change. For now, please know that you're not bothering us by asking; there may or may not be a change to the limit, but regardless, it is just fine for you to suggest things and express what you as members of the community think. You're being respectful. You don't need to be scared of us either, as we are indeed just regular people none of us are kandra in disguise. not a single one. certainly not all of us in a grand conspiracy, and we want this community to be a fun and safe place for everyone. We're here to make sure it stays that way.

Hey @Stormlightsong! Can I ask when your post in the TUBA thread is taking place - is this a week after the events of the Forgery, or less than that? Just need to know whether I can send my character over there or not, as a week out she's going to a meeting and dealing with a dying guy

Marie, SeKaan's safehouse, the Bindpoint Marie followed the two kandra warily, steel on high burn as she watched around them for any more. One of them had said they were uncommon, but kandra lied easily. If they were watching her after all, then there could be more...though, she had to admit to herself she would be surprised if Harmony had sent more than a few at once. There were only so many living kandra, and she thought they had other things to interfere in. She didn't pay much attention to her surroundings as they moved, letting it pass mostly in a blur. Her thoughts whirred in different directions; if they were here to watch her, did she let them? Did she confront Harmony directly about it? Should she leave? Attack? Run? She hated the idea of giving up on this chance already, though. Could she hope they weren't sent by him at all? One of them did look odd, not even bothering to disguise its inhumanity. (Why wouldn't you, if you could hide your spikes? ...she tucked this thought away even as she was having it. Just to be safe.) She thought the two exchanged some words on the way there, but she couldn't make them out over the low buzzing filling her ears like static. It felt like it was in her chest, too; a trembling she couldn't make stop, so she ignored it. She really didn't want to go back yet. In what could have been seconds, they were there. They must have gone down at least a few streets, but Marie couldn't have told you how many, or from where. The house they arrived at was another of the half-destroyed buildings this city had around; the roof was mismatched and had caved in. Briefly she wondered if the house was stable, but she had pewter and gold if it wasn't, if they were trying something. She went in with one last glance at the roof. The kandra who'd been a Valiert, whose hideout this was, proposed questions for all of them and Marie nodded; then they added that they wanted to change appearances. "I've never seen a kandra fully change before." Marie shrugged, eyespikes on this one, but listening for sudden movements from the other. She didn't care what bodies these two wore. "Do as you like. But I do want those questions." She darted a glance at the second, translucent kandra. "You asked who I made the deal with? Harmony. And if I'm to believe you're not with him, and don't know me - then my name is Marie Lekal." @Voidus @Ookla the Nerdy

Skdksfhjdfhjsfhskfsk okay. You have a point. XD (Though I did think the HK was genderless?)

Alright, I just don't really want this to be discussed on the forums - from a mod perspective and a personal one, there are kids here and also I wasn't really expecting this to be posted in a public space tbh

I can't actually say it on the Shard, both because of the automatic censor and the fact that we don't want people getting into NSFW discussions - are you guys on Discord?

I take their measurements, information, and then I smuggle it (up!)

US hardcover, chapter 11, page 150: Should this be Slantviewer's Lenses, since they are a pair rather than just one piece? US hardcover, chapter 19, page 233: Was this intended to be 'stranding'?

I found a couple instances of 'newspaper' being used instead of 'broadsheet' in TLM, so I went back and checked some other books too. Only found two so far. I don't have the leatherbounds so this first one may be fixed by now, but I figured no harm in reporting it. Alloy of Law US mass market paperback chapter 3, page 64: Arcanum Unbounded US hardcover, Allomancer Jak and the Pits of Eltania, page 187 (footnotes): This one is right next to a footnote that says 'broadsheet' instead, so I assume it's a mistake rather than a choice on Handerwym's part. Now for the ones that sent me on my search! The Lost Metal US hardcover first edition chapter 35, page 243: The Lost Metal US hardcover first edition chapter 46, page 306: The Lost Metal US hardcover first edition chapter 50, page 338: The Lost Metal US hardcover first edition chapter 29, page 202: Since it is an adjective here, should this be 'forward-thinking' with a hyphen?

This is intentional; in every book Brandon spells Isaac's name with some wacky new symbol. It's one of his running jokes in the acknowledgements.

Marie, the Bindpoint The kandra shed the act like water, despite what they said. Still polite, as they had been before, but they dropped the scraping. At least she knew where she stood now; oddly, that made her relax just a bit. She knew how to talk to a kandra. They knew what she was. Even if they were truly surprised to encounter her here, they would understand how she worked in a fight, would likely be in contact with Harmony themself. In knowing her, they became less of an unknown. She shifted her stance to entirely face the other, approaching kandra. The first one, 'Valiert', was still in her view, and she did not let go of the coin. She burned another short burst of bronze; definitely those Blessing spikes kandra had from the one, but she couldn't tell which power. Surprisingly, the other seemed...not to have a Blessing? She could see the spikes easily, though. Well. Marie set it aside for later. "And you, do you claim not to have come for me too?" she asked them sharply. "I made a deal. You can ask yourself, I'm sure, to confirm. Or why else are you here?" Her head still turned to the other kandra, she spoke to Valiert. "If you like." They were drawing more attention now. Probably should avoid that whenever possible, with her new goals. She didn't have to consider where to go. "I don't know anywhere; lead the way." If there was an ambush, there would be an ambush regardless. If they wanted to stop her badly enough, it wouldn't matter where she went in this city. Better to watch where they thought to go. Marie thought, for a heartbeat, of asking Harmony herself what was going on and seeing if he had sent them after all. But...not yet. She just - wouldn't, yet. @Voidus @Ookla the Nerdy

Should still be fine. Though for the record, you'll want to think about why your character, if they are both of these things, exists - the Metallic Arts are genetic, and singers don't normally have them.

Marie, the Bindpoint Marie wavered at the man's offer. He was a Valiert? The name was faintly familiar; perhaps she'd met a couple in passing at balls, but all of that was so long ago. The house must have survived to the present day. Certainly she didn't recall this particular lord, but then, she wouldn't; she had never been a part of Elendel's noble scene. Not that she would have wanted to - but should she want to, now? Should she consider dipping her toes into whatever equivalent this city had? The idea wasn't very appealing. Maybe it should be, though. She had to start somewhere, to prove she could interact with people. Admittedly that might be difficult as an Inquisitor, but there wasn't much to do about that. "I would appreciate that," she said abruptly. How long had she been thinking? Marie fixed her eyespikes on the Valiert. "Actually, I'm looking for something else to wear as well, so if -" Movement caught her gaze; a flash of light followed by the movement suddenly freezing again. Marie tensed at this, head turning to catch it. The lines there, the way they pointed, and in that concentration - she hadn't seen them like that since kandra back on Scadrial. Her hand slipped into her pocket again. "You," she called out. "Did you follow me?" She looked back at the Valiert, searching this time, and he had the same rusting patterns. Spiked. Something ran through her, a shiver of some emotion she couldn't - or didn't want to - name, and she bared her teeth for a moment. "He sent you after me? And here I thought for once - no." She ran her thumb over the raised design on the irony in her palm; the largest denomination of coin, worth two boxings, but more important was its weight. "Why are you here, then? What do the two of you have to say?" She stared down the one who had been about to sneak off. "Are you just keeping a rusting eye on me? Or...are you going to try to take me back?" Ironies were coins that could do damage. She didn't know if a good Push with it could shatter a kandra's bones, but she'd be happy if she got to find out. @Voidus @Ookla the Nerdy

Hey! Just moving this on over here You are free to play either of these things and interpret them as you like, particularly the Trueself Ferring. I might advise going with a different form we know more about rather than smokeform, possibly nimbleform for a spy? But if you think smokeform would better suit the character, I'm cool with you pitching ideas for it to us.

Things like this depend on whether or not the forums software we use (IPS) have that capability, as it's too much hassle when updating to do too many custom things. I don't believe this is a possibility, but it might be in an update.

I'll see you on the other side!

We'll be with you when you do!

I go back to France

You couldn't know, revealed itself to me

We get the job done!
