Of course they are, they sound like a denizen already.

Ooo that could help Bell stick around after era 5 I haven't had much opportunity to hint at it Because I'm terrible at getting my characters into rooms for some reason but Bell didn't really exist prior to the Forgery for reasons that are a RAFO for now. Maybe some of those Splinters could act like Divine Breaths and allow such people, at least a few of them, continue on after the Forgery.

This is literally the Ghostbloods is era1

A big part of what the Worldspike does is make magic accessible. So it hit me as a "wait a minute" moment when I realized that we still have to outsource Breaths from the cosmere and i just felt I needed to bring it up

I just had a thought that I can't get out of my head. If the Worldspike felicitates all magic and allows them to function how they would in their place of origin; while in its boundaries (ie. the Selish magics not needing to worry about location) Are people in the Alleyverse born with Breaths? Have we ever thought about that?

Ooo thats cool, I've been trying to think of elements/resources that are available to the surface city that we could pull. The Alleystorm is only really used to fuel radiants at this point but there are some unexplored aspects that could definitely be played with. Crysts are off the table as point of them is to be magic neutral. I love the Idea of something rising because of the Forgery. There could be some really fascinating interactions with people like my current character who didn't exist prior to it.

"We live in a world, where millions can die because someone threw a pineapple!" Was a sentence that was actually the basis for a character i was developing in era4 I'll add that to the list of things Bell will have no idea about when the Forgery breaks

@Thaidakar the Ghostblood I think you you might be getting a picture about just how ireprocable the DA is from the above conversation.

I think he is refering to the Phoenix.

Hahahahaha... Been there done that. You know how everyone freaks out when they get their memories back? Yeah... Check out the Seven Day War if you want more detail on how that goes.

It has been established that the Alleyverse has at least a few native spren call its own. You you could make a weird Singer-form out of or something.

Good luck trying to encroach on the DA's turf. It would be a fun plot to see happen anyhow.

It is kinda breaking my head a little trying to imagine how many layers of dimensional travel it would be in order to get from the Alleyverse to Nowhere and back. there are some already established ones, Alleymatics, Voidshaping, and Alley travel. All of them are pretty natively DA though.

And how would you say they that they would react to someone who wouldn't Have "wrong memories"? asking for a friend

Minutes later, Bell found himself outside pouring months of breath in from the woven Cadmium hanging from his wrist and out of his body. Hugging the still full plastic container to his chest. I don’t think there is don’t think there is enough air in all of the Alleys for this. The rubble was everywhere. The entire entrance and waiting room had collapsed and the open walls of the broken edifice hung over the remains of the rooms they once held onto along with the pillars that stood them up now scattered around in the mix. All of it had fallen before Bell’s eyes as the tide of persons eventually pulled him out to the streets with them. He couldn’t tell how much of the building had followed suit. He could hear the vial looped around his neck scraping against the top of Tupperware. Opening his eyes he saw that the sand inside still black as last night when he had reset it. “You said that means everything is going to be okay right Dad.” Bell shuffled his phone up from under him. His breath caching while going thru his contacts, as the metalmind finally dries up and the tears finally start streaming down his cheeks. “H-hey, M-mom something happened at hospital…”

"Um, Hello... Nurse? My name is Blondie Bell. I'm here to visit my father Strudel. I heard he was admitted to the Cognitive Ward this morning and I..." Bell griped his tupperware of fresh macarons tighter as potted plants and rows of chairs began rocking in the waiting area. Was that an earthquake? Where is everyone going? where is my father? Bell taped a little bit of Breath letting the extra oxygen air out his worry a bit. Bell began going from person to person as they flooded out of the building "Hey! do know where the Conative Ward is? Is there A Strudel bell with you? Does anyone know a Strudel Bell?"

"Ever get a look at my name?" @Rushu42

"yes, 'rational' which is why my chair along with this was in the break-room this morning ." Bell held out the 'Editor' plaque and took one of the cupcakes for himself. "'You should have had them fresh, these are just my leftovers from last night. It is sort of a family thing." Bell took a bite of his cupcake "Have you checked the roster yet?"

"Why? Is the money there radioactive?" Bell reached out his hand and shake'd his tupperware under Acacia's nose. "Congratulations for landing yourself a management position, on your second week in a new reality."

Bell leaned back in his chair, watching Acacia's slight hesitance with the carved mineral coins. "You've been in the Alleys long? Your looking at glowing money like it might be radioactive." @Rushu42

"You would think so, but It's festive and part of the season." Bell swept his chair back under his desk. "Plus," he continued "This city has always been a pressure-cooker. It's good to remind people why they are here every now and then."

"Its called The Festival of Rebirth, an annual sort of a celebration of the new year." Bell interjected. "Its a great time, my parents would always dress me up as The Baker and take to listen to the Rebirth story wile eating eating chota.

Bell opened his Tupperware, "Well 'Little Ms. Phantom' do you at least eat?" That scar down her throat, the few Radiants he had met were never happy people but that on a child just seemed cruel.

"Yeah... Um, hello?" Bell looked down at his necklace. The sand had turned black but that didn't mean much, he may have just walked by a Coppercloud on his way to work without noticing. @Voidus

"Well my desk is over there and my chair is... in the break room?." Bell looked back at Acacia quizzically "A Smedry you say, well this is sure to be interesting."
