Silus - Shard of Flame

Everyone has cooler dreams than I do.

I'm doing it, but I need to finish a couple of days early, so I'll be doing 2K words a day rather than the traditional 1700. It'll be my last great accomplishment before my mission. I have a fairly good starting place, so I'm hoping it'll go well. Is anyone else on the NaNoWriMo website? I'm Keys on Fire, look me up! Also: THREE DAYS, GUYS, EVERYONE PANIC.

I'm about halfway through The Black Prism by Brent Weeks, and I'm REALLY liking it. There's a reveal about a third of the way through that just blew my mind, it was so awesome. Like, Brandon awesome, it was that good. We'll see how the rest of it is before I make a judgment on it, though. Also, I got Name of the Wind from the library today. Will start that after Black Prism.

WALMART Y U NO HAVE ALLOMANTIC ALLOYS? GOSHDANGIT WALMART. If someone can make that a meme picture, I will greatly approve.

1 is the best, with 4 as a close second. MUST UPVOTE.

Jay'el "You're not from the Foothills, so you wouldn't know. The thiefskin is a mark, it marks the descendants of those who stole from us. Those we shunned. It marks the untrustworthy, the murderous. And while you may assume the best about your 'friend', it's obvious he would slit your throat without a second thought if he had the inclination. "The thing that bothers me the most about you is that you assume so much. You think you know my friends, and me, after less than a day. You think that the solutions to a teenage girl's problems will carry over to the real world, the world of Spheremorphs. You're wrong. "You sabotaged me, or tried, you assumed on that one too, and no simple apology will make up for that. I can't take you at your word alone. Now if you'll excuse me I need to find some sucker who'll take this Bleeding Sphere." She walks out and away toward the living quarters. River The matches are still going on, so neither of them is present. It's only about 2'o'clock, so dinner is still some ways off. Most people are still watching the fights. But you see there are some stragglers around. A sound distracts you, and you turn to see Peter, now thoroughly sober, standing behind you. "Hello, River." Jack Mckinney Tank is able to reflect the shots that get too close, but the number of them is able to to him off your back while you shift, finishing just as he cleaves through the last of them. His attention is back on you. Eerongal There's a bar in the main room. The bartender, a short man with graying hair, is wiping the counter when you come in. He smiles at you, revealing a smile that's more gold teeth than real. "What'll it be, Morph?"

DEFINITELY a bit of worldbuilding since we last saw it. I'm intrigued as to what the dawnfaces and sixthfaces(?) are referring to. And what's Skip's third knack!? Cliffhanger?! NOOOOOOOO! Goshdangit, Brandon, why must you right so many things I want more of at the same time! I can't decide what I want more of!

Killing machines? Nope, definitely marshmallows. OR, I played through the Portal 2 "Peer Review" Co-op DLC with my brother, day before yesterday. Super fun, and some of the puzzles were really tough. Took us a long time to figure out that last chamber. And the ENDING. Oh, my gosh, the ending was AWESOME.

No, that's probably why you haven't found it yet.

None of the spheres have dying prophecies. She just got knocked out, anyway.

100% of the votes means, I WIN. EDIT: 80% now, still winning.

I understood the insincerity of rage (tags tend to portray that), I'm just flabbergasted it's taking you guys so long. I never actually intended for it to be mysterious.

Seriously, look at the context of the prophecy, then at the Data Topic. I didn't think it would be difficult to figure out. BTW, we HAVE a banner you can put in your sig, Frost. It's on page one of this topic. Yeah, I was gonna bring that up, Coma, thanks for mentioning it. And it's okay that you won't be around much, River doesn't have a match until the next day.

No, that wouldn't work. Vin Diesel may be good for action movies, but the depth of character that Sazed has is just something he can't do.

I think there's a lot more to it than just picking a Champion and giving them power. There seems to be a certain amount of grooming and planning going on behind the scenes. Vin was chosen to inherit Preservation's power from birth if not earlier. Brandon has made a few references saying that there's stuff we're not seeing. Also, it seems that picking a Champion is probably how Shards do confrontation without literally destroying each other like Ruin and Vin did.

OOH. That would be so awesome. The only thing I don't like about Holy and Ultima is that the animations take so long.

Top You move quickly through the crowd, but whoever he is moves faster. You barely pay attention to where you're going and who's around you, causing you to run right into Ambrosius.

I will probably rename Link as Parlin the next time I play Zelda. CROSSOVER!

Hint: You've seen the effect of this mask.

Is anyone driving through the West Jordan area to get there? I'm kind of needing a ride.

I dunno, Wakka hits hard enough, and he's a beast at killing those fliers, it's just his Weapon that's not worth it. But I can see where you'd stick with those. Yuna is SUPER AMAZING once you get Nirvana (that's her Weapon, right?). All her spells cost 1 MP, so she can basically spam Holy. AWESOME.

He may be feminine but he's not actually a girl, you've got plenty of room, Frost. And picking up that mask may not be the best option, she IS carving it out of her Formsphere.

Jay'el She's not calmed by your words or even praise. You can see her frustration flare into anger in her eyes. "You think I didn't see you talking to the thiefskin? I have the Blessing of Awareness! I heard what you said! Giving him tips!?" She leans in and practically spits her next words in your face. "'Tech based, not much magic.'" She turns and starts to walk out. "And you have the nerve to call us friends."

No, they are not from Alloy. There are other Orders, which reflect the other Shards. First off, hi! Great to see a new player. There are some things that'll need to be fixed in this application, though. Where is Llenstra, what's the culture and government like, and how many Spheremorphs do they have? If you're okay with it, I'd like you to PM me about what the notebook is for. The Initial Grid just tells us what kind of Morphing Grid you start out with. There's a list in the Data Topic that you can use if you want, though you can also come up with one of your own. If you're not sure what the Morphing Grid is, there's information on it in the Story Topic, or you can ask about what you're confused by. We're more than willing to help out. We'll need a description of the Gentle Fist and Telekinetic Forms. You have a interesting character, and I'm sure we'll find a place for you; a few things need to be cleared up first.
