Butterflutter was like a cockaroach and survived the thermonuke attack.

But also lived in San Salvador - nowhere near them.

So if someone had cold skin when she tried to use her green fire power then it wouldn't work?

Silva just watched the newcomer. With any luck, something would explode soon and all attention would be diverted anyways. Best not to get too attached.

Things finally finished up for the Acutes. Here's Freedom's completed backstory:

Surreptitiously

Happy birthday @Blessing of Potency!

"But I'm not done yet!" she yelled back.

Mejin looked around. She stupidly had used her tia card before checking where it went. Bad protocol there that could easily lead to trouble. This time however it seemed to have worked out okay. She was home. Or well, at her childhood home. It had been years since she'd visited. The last time had ended with her in tears. Almost seventeen years at this point. But the place wasn't dusty. Someone had been living there. "Tino?" she called. A young woman in her twenties walked into the room. She stopped short when she noticed Mejin, but didn't hesitate as she pulled out a dagger. "I don't care who you storming think you are, but know that-" "Calm down, Juon," a man said, cutting her off as he came in. He was also in his twenties and looked familiar. Mejin let out a small gasp. "Hey, sis," Tino said. "It's been a few years. Good of you to stop by. Juon, meet my sister Mejin. Mejin, meet my friend Juon." "I'm not so sure about your choice of friends," Mejin said, eyeing the dagger warily. "She's seems a little trigger-happy." Tino shrugged and Mejin noticed Juon carefully resheath the blade. "Always the critic. I'm glad to see you haven't changed." "Always the perceptive," she said. "Glad to see you haven't lost that either." They fell silent. "Why haven't you visited?" Tino said finally. "You know why," she said. "It wasn't your fault." "Doesn't mean it doesn't feel that way." Tino sighed. "Fine. But that's no excuse to neglect me." Neglect? She'd been trying to shelter him. Protect him. Apparently that had failed. Her own words floated back to her from all those years ago. From after Devaan had insulted her so bad. When she changed herself entirely and stopped being sheltered. Yet here she had been forcing that seem blindness onto her own brother. What had she been thinking. "Oh, rusts," she said. Tears started to break through. Mejin sat down on a couch. "I've been the blind one." "What do you mean?" "It's about time I let you in to my life."

AmoebaJoe appeared.

In the end both decided to leave since neither was willing to be the one to stay.

TUBA's a guild in a RP subforum. Our cookies and rivalry with the DA (Dark Alley) tend to spread to the intro pages as well - the DA likes to take advantage of new members by giving them hemalurgically spiked cookies, claiming they'll give you superpowers. Anyways, welcome to the Shard community and have a fortune cookie! Don't worry this one is also TUBA certified.

Once I finally read WoT. If that ever happens.

Eclectic

"But they're mine!" Dalinar protested.

Pry, Freedom, Warmer, Eon, and Gonev vanished too.

I am unsure because I am lacking sureness in my ability to feel sure.

A watermelon appeared spontaneously, distracting ghanderflaffles from their evil plans.

@Grey Knight

*shrugs* I don't know what to say. Words fail.

Damask

Precious.
