Bookish Ocelot

Scream "BUT YOU COULD BE FIRE" at the top of your lungs whenever someone makes an "I am" statement.

"Nice!" Fadran says, watching her fire the arrows. He immediately makes for the largest hammer he can find. Upon finding a greathammer taller than he is, Fadran sucks in a little stormlight and goes to lift the darned thing. He fails.

"Hey Avelyn," He whispers to his spren, "What weapon should I try?"

Don't ask me. She replies. I'm just your normal, ordinary, everyday stonespren. In fact, at one point, I'll become a weapon for you. For now... go for the swords?

Fadran finds a basic arming sword, testing its weight. He likes it.

 

"I think maybe a smaller hammer," Leona said. Seeing him pick up the sword, she nodded in approval. "I used to fight with twin shortswords. Do you have a style you prefer?"

"Whoa!" Fadran takes in the surrounding room, his eyes resting on a large sword. "Is that real?"

Yes, idiot. Avelyn replies to him personally. You can't kill things with fake swords.

Fadran tries out some weapons. None of them seem to fit him.

"Yeah," Leona says. "All of them are real. If you don't really like swords, I've got some other ideas. A bow could work pretty well, depending on how strong your shoulders are." 

She picks up a bow and fires ten arrows quickly into a target on the other side of the room.

"Well, yes, but I can store things like Identity and connection, plus I'm constantly wearing a metal that is toxic to the touch. Either way I think we can both agree that this conversation is wierder than either of us."

I'm pretty sure he knows. IIRC, there's an explanation of it somewhere. 

I like it. It's simple and easy to draw. I tried to draw the regular one once and it looked like chicken scratch!

However, I am disappointed at the loss of the 10 symbolism. I feel like it's very important in Rosharan culture. 

How nightblood could affect surgebinding. Could he corrupt spren or turn them into deadeyes?

"Sure. As long as you have a piano there for me to break."

Leona gasped. "Not the piano! But in all seriousness, please try not to break things. Especially musical instruments." She opened the door to the basement. "After you," she said, flicking on the lights.

"I'll tell it to you someday. My stories are only told during the most inconvenient possible situations. It's a gig of mine."

He says that. Avelyn whispers to Leona. And he doesn't lie. Be careful whenever you invoke his name; he always has the most irrelevant pieces of information for the most irrelevant moments in time.

"Okay then," Leona replied. "Wanna go check out the training room downstairs?"

"Oh... weapons? I've sort of noticed that words are sharper than blades, but if I have to I can make almost anything a weapon using my hardening magic. My favorite are pencils, but I've used everything from pieces of paper to broken pianos."

Avelyn rolls her eyes at this, then takes off to explore the house.

"Broken pianos? I'd love to hear the story behind that." Leona said.

Nods, a little confused, then turns back to Leona. "So... can I get a tour of the house?"

"Yeah, of course," she said, smiling. "It's a pretty big house. There's two living floors, and the basement is primarily used for training. Do you have a preferred weapon? I mostly do archery and the longsword. Sadly for me, I have an ankle issue that won't go away, so I mainly have to stick to archery."

"Oooo...kay. Sounds fun. When do we start?"

"Unfortunately for us, the end of the world does not have a schedule. Where's everyone else? They should be home by now."

Fadran and Avelyn share a glance before the surgebinder chooses to speak. "Fight... what?"

"Evil. We destroy evil," Leona said. "More specifically, Voidbringers. They look human, but they're not. They drain our powers."

Avelyn speaks to Onyx. Regular human books, yes. Irrregular human books? Naw, man. You just need to find the forbidden stuff, eh, Fadran?

Fadran studies his fork, still talking to Leona. "I said, at one point, that I would stand where others fall." Looks up. "I wonder where those places are?"

what books? i do not know of any books like that, Onyx replies.

"Those places? What do you mean by that?"

Avelyn inspects Onyx up and down as Fadran nods to the spren.

So I'm not the only one in a bond with a human? Avelyn says to Fadran. I told you so.

Fadran looks at Onyx. "You're an inkspren, aren't you? I've heard about your kind. I've never met one before, though. This is Avelyn."

Avelyn manifests herself to Onyx and Leona, taking an exaggerated bow not short of unneccessary flourish. It's a pleasure to meet you.

"So if there are more people like me... do they do the same things I can do? You said you can teleport and change things into other things. I can harden things and change things. Are there others who can do different things?"

Fadran seems to be warming up to the idea that he's not alone. In fact, he seems pleased, and maybe even a little mischevious.

where have you heard of me? Onyx asked. regular human books should not know these things.

"There are more people with different powers," Leona replied. "Some can fly, others can create illusions or heal people. It's pretty cool. Once you swear the third oath, your spren can become a shardblade, which is like a sword that can't break and slices through anything. I'm on the third oath."

"I don't know anyone named Felix," Leona said, shrugging. "Doc might. Oh. My spren? This is Onyx."

hello, fadran. Onyx said, transforming into a young woman made entirely of continuously flowing black ink. you are new here. interesting.

"I'm an elsecaller," Leona replied. "Edgedancers are a different breed entirely. I think you're a stoneward? Or a willshaper? I'm not sure." 
 

She walked over to the fridge and retrieved some of the chocolate cake, before putting it on a plate and handing it to Fadran. "What brings you here?"

"What kind of cake? I have angel food and chocolate at the moment," Leona said. "Doc is a Bondsmith who lives here. He pretty much runs the place." She dismissed her blade.

You can start at any ideal you want. I started at second and am at the third.

"Sort of," Leona replied, lowering the sword. "I'm an Elsecaller, which means I can teleport and make things into other things. Come one in. Doc will deal with you whenever he gets back. Don't try any funny business or I will kill you," she said, knowing that she would never actually be able to do something like that. "Would you like some cake?"

I'm assuming you meant the main house? If not, just @ me and i'll delete the post

Leona jumped up. "Someone's at the door," she told Nym. "I don't recognize the voice. Summoning Onyx as a longsword, she slowly walked toward the voice. 

"Who are you?" she asked Fadran, brandishing the sword.

Put OOC stuff in a quote box, like this. Also, it'd be great if you could make a charecter sheet thing!

"Oh," Leona said. "i'm sorry. I was like that too."

@Channelknight Fadran

@Aragorn

"Oh. Yeah. That's what it was," Leona replied. "Why're you here?" @Aragorn 

"Oh. Yeah. Uh. I can summon cake. Or more accurately, make other things into cake. I'm an Elsecaller; one of the ten orders of the knights Radiant. I feel like I've seen you around here before," Leona said. It was a gamble telling Nym this, but she was pretty sure she had seen her around before.

@Aragorn

"Oh, okay," Leona replied. She noticed Nym looking at the cake. "There's more in the fridge," she said. "Or I can just make you some right now." @Aragorn
