In the unfortunate case you’re a protagonist.... 205. If you trust someone, they’re your enemy 206. If you think your life isn’t at all special, check again 207. Don’t assume anything. For all you know you could have been switched at birth and are really important 208. All plans go wrong, so don’t plan 209. Don’t ever be mean. Payback will come. 210. Someone you meet is going to save your life - thank them in advance

They each had to give $7.50. -
Pry cursed inwardly. Every time when it came down to it, she froze. Maybe I really would be better off living a quiet life on Scadrial - sewing clothing and starting a profession. She thought then scorned herself. You aren’t that shallow, Pry. She told herself. You know you can succeed. You just gotta try. Pry smiled at the cheesiness of her little pep talk, but felt a little better. The Waystop was a mess, she deduced looking out from the door. She had yet to move since the battle ended. Lacking anything better to do, Pry rested her right arm on the doorpost and began to sketch the landscape ahead of her.

I’m with you @whattheHoid. Us Americans are way too argument prone. I feel like it stems down to the fact that we try too hard not to have problems or accept our differences. Like with racial equality and stuff. If people didn’t care, we wouldn’t have any issues. I’m a semite - my family immigrated in a few generations ago. Sure we look the same as anyone, but our family has a different backstory. A different history. Yet because of our skin color, no one doubts that we’re treated equally. Yes, I get that America enslaved people, but does Egypt make a big deal out of the Jews because they used to be slaves there? No.* America needs to just chill. Everyone is just to eager to yell out “You’re being a meanie!” Guess what America, we’ve got freedom of speech and we shouldn’t be afraid to use it. *If this statement feels like a crude comparison, I am sorry.

I did not realize this thread was a thing, but cool. Like a lot of people, my username has no connection at all to my real name. It’s more of a combination of two things. 1. The name Silvia. I used that name in one of my first stories and have always liked it. 2. Silver, the metal. It always bothers me how silver has no Allomantic or Feruchemical ability. Ever since reading Mistborn I’ve been partial to it. So ‘Silva,’ depending on how you look at it, could either be the name Silvia misspelled without an ‘i’ or silver pronounced by someone who can’t say their ‘r’s. EDIT: It turns out that Silva is also a common last name for Sephardic Jews. While I myself am not Sephardi, I am Jewish, so that is an interesting unintentional connection.

And was good friends with a woman named Mary. -
Cold. That was all Pry could focus on. She wasn’t able to spare a thought for anything else. Then it came to her. The explosion. The heat. Filling her brass. Pry brought herself back to normal. Storms. She thought, running back outside. What is going on.
-
Pry was grateful for her thick, fire-proof, hooded, leather jacket and pants when the explosion hit. She covered all exposed skin and drained as much heat into her earrings as possible. She still felt some heat, but it was tolerable. Hope no one dies. Pry thought as she curled up into a ball and waited for the explosions to end.

Scratching your head is a sign that Chemical X has entered your brain. Not many survive the treatment to cure it, but no one survives without getting treated. -
Pry held her hands out to help him up . She never quite knew what to say in these situations. ”It’s getting late. We probably should turn in for the night,” she settled on finally.

This also explains why it wouldn’t want to be fire. Laser or fire? Tough choice. -

Tinker Bell recalled the pixie dust. -
“Are you okay?” Pry rushed over, feeling bad for not taking his leg into account when sparring. She knelt down and motioned for the woman nearby to come quick. “Is there anything I can do?”
-
She swung low. Like she expected he reacted fast. Perfect. Pry thought. She moved her dueling cane in and out higher up, close enough to make him think she could actually hit him, but that wasn’t her ultimate goal. @Life&Death
-
I might have gotten some of this wrong, but in Edgedancer it seems as though Lift can touch Wyndle. Theoretically, could she hemalurgically spike him and if so what would happen?
-
She glared the woman who had interfered with the sparring, then traced her hand over her own cane. The light hickory wood had an indent carved in as a handle. Pry shifted her cane to her left hand. The indents from right hand made it feel wrong, but she ignored it. ”For a righty you’re pretty good on both sides,” she commented. She swung at the air, the movement felt awkward with her other hand, yet still somehow right. @Life&Death

Pry jumped backwards after Mr. Amber’s cane came towards her face. She recognized the routine, though the left hand messed with her a little. It dawned on her how out of practice she was when he glanced her head after she’d blocked the attacks to the side. Pry stepped to the right - he’d been backing her towards the edge of the training grounds. ”How do you prevent friction when you switch grips that fast?” she asked between attacks, barely keeping up. @Life&Death

The Cowbloods assassinated them all. -
Pry ducked and let the cane fly above her. Mr. Amber regained his balance fairly quickly. Good to know. She thought. Don’t depend on him over-swinging. She gave him a look of ‘are you going easy?’ then set her posture on the defensive. She wasn’t going to reveal her idiosyncrasies quite yet. @Life&Death
-
Pry tensed instinctively as she pulled back her hair into a messy bun. No surprise attacks, but she could tell one was coming.
-
Pry watched the girl follow the other. She hoped she appreciated the paper she’d slipped into her pocket, titled ‘Pry’s guide to drawing.’ It wasn’t a masterpiece by any stretch, but she hoped her step to step diagrams could help her out. They’d improved Mejin’s artistic abilities by a tenfold, but then again Mejin’d never tried applying herself to art before. “Sounds good,” Pry told Mr. Amber after standing up.
-
Interesting. Pry thought. He could be helpful, if he weren’t being swarmed by people. She retreated back to her rock from earlier, content to wait. That she was good at. Pry picked up a stone and carved in her initials with her nails. It had become her tradition to leave her mark everywhere she went. Even something as small as a pebble contented her. She made a mental note to go back to the other training grounds as she’d forgotten to. The night’s chill finally reached her and she stifled a few shivers before tapping into her brass. Pry had plenty of heat stored up from many summer’s worths of hot days, so she didn’t feel bad not being stringent with it. The warmth flooded into her. She let out a contented sigh and pulled two things from her bag. Yep. She could wait on that rock all night.

“Prism Acute,” she told Mr. Amber, “but I go by Pry. I was trained by a right-handed man, but my natural inclination is left. It messes up my coordination and I have yet to figure out how to mirror the motions with switched hands.” She didn’t feel bad not mentioning her investiture - being a brass ferring didn’t effect combat. She’d long given up on Devaan showing up and figured she may as well make use of her being there.
-
“I’m good, thanks,” she told him after the other girl. Pry tapped her chin thoughtfully, then raised an eyebrow. “Unless you happen to be left-handed that is.”
