Sherlock Holmes

Tena whipped her hand in front of her and summoned her spren as a long staff, whilst simultaneously tapping her speed Metalmind and Slicking her feet to be completely frictionless. She began doing her ice skating motion and out-skated everyone else because of her combined speed and lack of friction, but still dropped and Pushed several coins in the other skater's faces, which both slowed them and sped her up. She planted her staff in the ground and vaulted over Mace, whose token attempt at a lance-fight-thing went practically unnoticed by her as she jumped right over his head, picking up speed and putting herself in first. She tapped her Metalmind even more, making her go way faster, and since the course they were going down was circular, she ended up skating on the walls. This is so AWESOME, she thought. Even if she didn't win, this race was definitely worth getting into the Newcago Court.

Tena fell out of the sky, waving her arms and screaming like she was about to have all her bones crushed to pulp. Instead of that happening, she remembered that she had a speed Metalmind and started filling it really fast. By the time she hit the ground, she was barely moving. She landed on her feet and skidded a few inches, nearly tumbling over onto her face. "I'm sorry," she said calmly to the assembly of sledders, "but I was just informed that there was to be a sledding race, and, as a bonus, I'd get to challenge a fellow Edgedancer. Could I join, your Ladyship?" She nodded respectfully to the Queen, then Awakened her pants and launched herself into the air with a Steelpush against a dropped coin. Ceasing Pushing at about ten feet into the air, she flipped herself over and regarded the assembly sternly.

"Of course," Tena said, unperturbed, "Syen is. She can patch ya up."

"Okay, you're hired. Go up those stairs and down to room 3. Somebody needs your help there."

"What sort of help do you offer?" Tena asked this new person.

Tena rolled her eyes. He wanted to sound threatening and stuff, but he wasn't really.

Tena rolled her eyes. "How cute, Solace. Trying to sneak in poison." She took the package and shook it, listening for something... that wasn't there. "Nevermind, crazy, put it in that box there." She pointed at a small box that sat on one end of her desk. She glared at Solace.

"Yes," Tena replied over her book. "You're an Edgedancer. I see your spren. Okay, go up those stairs with Syen and she'll show you what you can do to help. Go on."

"Ladies, do we actually plan on going anywhere?" Tena asked as she crept silently into the mine, her street-sharpened ears searching for any indication of incoming workers.

Tena sat at the receptionist's desk of her and Syen's new clinic, bored. For all the good boredom did her. She had figured that owning a hospital would be at least a little fun and exciting. But the facts were now clear; all she and Syen did all day was listen to people complaining about ear aches or brain tumors or something else boring. All Tena and her colleague did was heal things instantaneously or Syen would use her magical-seeming herbs to help people with injuries that Stormlight couldn't heal. The Ghostbloods were always popping in to either offer Tena poisons or get healed out of suspicious injuries. TUBA members just kind of showed up to say things like, "If a certain incident regarding the next Ghostblood who comes here was to happen, you and your compatriot might find a substantial donation given to you unexpectedly...." Tena always told them, no, we can't be a successful business if people start dropping dead at our feet, at which the person giving the offer would stomp off, muttering to themselves. Tena found a sense of chagrin every time she did this, though not much of one. Syen was heading down the stairs as Tena started to pick up a book to pass the time. Then someone slammed the door open....

Welcome to the 17th Shard! Who's your favorite Stormlight character? I would have given you an upvote for being new, but I'm all out.

"Yeah, and I can use Steelpushing and Steelrunning without any of those void-y things getting onto me for it," Tena affirmed sensibly. "Also, I can Awaken stuff without them noticing, unless they can sense any Investitiure at all, which I doubt." She spoke as Syen walked haphazardly up the crevice.

Could I join the next tournament?

"Well, I think it's worth noting," Tena, putting a coin down softly on the floor and Pushing against it, flipping herself over so that she stood on the uneven roof of the crack, "that Soul definitely has less cool Investiture than me." Seeing everyone upside down was weird, though seeing Soul not upside down was even weirder. She started walking into the plateau via the crack, Pushing the coin slightly in front of her so she wouldn't fall and crack her skull, thinking, It's kinda odd that the ceiling of this thing is wider than the floor. "Also, Syen, I'm an Edgedancer with the Surge of Healing-thingy, so we can both heal people right up. And, uh, you made a pun about Soul's name a second ago. That's pretty awesome. You know, if I went to the Nightwatcher, I'd have to ask her to give me the ability to come up with great puns on the spot. Sounds like an awesome power, doesn't it? "Wait, wait, I'm getting chatty. But then again, when am I not?" Tena gave everyone a mock-stern look. "If I ever get ridiculously chatty, tell me, okay?" She stopped Steelpushing and flipped again, landing on her feet flawlessly, something she'd mastered doing in Elendel after many embarrassing failures. Then, she took a few jogging steps and un-friction-ed herself, gliding forward and up with momentum that she kept going with her steel Metalminds. She found where the crack led into the mines and crouched there, waiting for the others.

Here's my favorite:

"Geez, do you honestly think it would take me that long?" Tena said, landing next to Hellbent and putting Syen down. "Oh, and, by the way, Soul stopped to look at an interesting rock on the way here. That's his name, right? Soul? Kinda weird name." Hey guys, could we all upvote each other's posts in order to increase our ranks?

I, AxeliustheGreat, swear to defend the Alleyverse. I shall not use my position here to betray others, but to help cultivate the Alleyverse, to assist with its growth. I pledge my loyalty to the fate of the Alleyverse, and am ready to give up life and limb to defend it. I am a watcher on the wall, a guardian at the gate, a cultivator of destiny.

Tena picked up Syen, somewhat awkwardly, as she hadn't actually ever carried anyone before, and dropped a coin, launching herself in the same direction the crazy guy appeared to be going. Tena managed to keep up with the crazy guy with the help of her Steelrunning, and soon found herself right next to Crazy Guy, going up and down ever-so-slightly next to him. "So, uh, what's your name?" Tena asked, trying to get over the fact that she was talking to a man who was literally falling sideways while having his head oriented towards the ground. Hey guys, I was just thinking that getting Soul a girlfriend would be cool! Just saying. This isn't part of the RP talk.

What's the difference between Kelsier and Kaladin? One is super-sayan and could totally wreck any other magic system with ease. The other is Kaladin.

I read all of Brandon's books within a year and a half. Phoenix, are you Shalladin or Shallan/Adolin?

Yeah, I know. Look closely at what I wrote. It says 'was trapped,' not 'is trapped.'

"I could carry you there," Tena said, managing to keep a straight face. "I mean, I could also run wherever we're going, but I think carrying you around while Steelpushing on coins would be faster." She paused for a second. "So are we ready to roll, or what!?"

Granted, but it's really stupid and everyone assumes that you're an idiot because of it. I wish that any dog I ever own will live forever and be healthy and happy during the entire course of their existence.
