"Facinating. I guess it does affects your life, since you see it as a curse. Do you believe a Grace is unique to every Graced, or do you know a Graced with the exact same Grace as yours? Do you know other Graced at all?" Gal asks all those questions while scribbling something in his notebook.

"Oh. Too bad, then. Does your Grace affects your day-to-day life? Do you find it a gift or a curse?"

"I'm into learning about kinds of magic. Just a moment, please..." Gal puts down his backpack, taking out of it a notebook and a pen, and opening the notebook somewhere in the middle. "What's your Grace, and how does it express itself?"

Gal wandered through the market at Zemel. He already was equipped for a long trip, now he only needed a caravan or something to travel with. He looked around him, lost in thought, when he noticed a hetero-chromatic red-haired woman talking with some friends. a Grace, maybe? He walked immediately in her direction, noting the elf beside her and another human. They were talking, but Gal was never the one to take note of what's rude and what isn't. "Hello. The name's Owlson. Are you a Grace?"

The hemalurgic beaver is so close to Ruin it can produce it's own atium.

You're idea is interesting, though you sometimes ignored the hemalurgic power, so it helps, but not quiet enough. Anyway, here's a link to the topic I started about it.IIRC there were interesting ideas over there, but I don't think it was anything too large. Be wary, this thread consists spoilers for RoW part 1.

Edited the OP to have a list of crewmembers. What do you think? @Ookla the Tortured, does the fact that you are no more a truthless affects your association with us?

If you already quote cryptic hillel quotes, why not אם אני כאן הכל כאן, ואם אין אני כאן מי כאן? (Which means: if I'm here all's here, and if I'm not here who's here?) Back on topic, I don't believe I have, and I'm not convinced I should. TPBM thinks we should make a recursive TPBM.

I, personally, think slowly over time is better. Don't know about intention behind it. To have the supers at hold, maybe there should be a super-secured (no pun intended) database of their weaknesses, assuming they have ones? After all, some super villains are basically superheroes who's decisions turned for the bad.

It was dead for months for a time. Surely it can afford a little rest.

That'll do, I believe. Is Hoid part of this mafia?

Welcome! I was so busy writing my own message I didn't see you here. Sorry. Would you like to join the crew, or just keep the thread alive? If the former, what can you add to the crew? You are welcome even if you have no idea. If the latter, do you think this is truly living, or are you just focused on letting no thread die? @Ookla the Tortured, do you ignore my questions on purpose, or did you just miss them in the whole message? Also, should I start a thread of Answer Trutharchivist Anything, because of the many questions I ask?

"Fuzz, try to stay on topic." -Probably Kelsier, somewhere in SH. So, what do you think? Do you like this idea? Think it needs clarification? Can explain any need in assassins? I did say usually, and it's hard to judge if this thread is alive or it started dead, and we're just trying to give it a proper funeral. And apparently, I have a knack to use random book quotes! Though it must be more common here.

I'll take that as a yes. And we're past four posts! Not that it means anything. The real question, though, is why we would even need an assassin? The purpose I stated in the OP is not connected by any means to assassination... is it?

We could use a shard, or even someone Invested. Maybe you've got an honorblade?

Apparently, I'm a crewleader now, so it's time to start a crew! Our goals will be... um... Well, I have no idea. It was probably a bad idea. Maybe, because of who I am, revealing deeper meaning in books? Things like the ideals behind the story, why the author wrote what he did. Well, if you like doing that, you're invited to my crew! For now it's probably nothing. After all, this wasn't my brightest idea, and usually my threads die after two to four posts. I tried it anyway, let's see where it goes until I get to the next rep title. It seems to have survived the changing of my rep title, so hurray! Also, our goals, as of now, are countering the Secret Evil Fantasy Book Mafia - or for short, the SEFBM (acronyms are great - change my mind), along with finding Idei in books and bringing them to life. Maybe I'll explain later what are Idei and the SEFBM. Thank you for reading this far. Feel free to tell me this should be in general discussion. Crew members for now: @Trutharchivist - Crew leader. Tries to dig into the intentions and ideas behind literary works (theoretically). Or, in other words, tries to find the Idei that are buried in books and bring them to life. Management division: @Random Bystander - Secretary and responsible of paperwork. Do you really like it? no one really does. Oh, well, welcome to the crew! We sure need someone to make order out of things. For now we don't have much, but it might change! Research division: @JesterLavorre - A magic scholar, researching the magical resources of the SEFBM. We... should've had one long ago, but having one right now is better than never! Do you think that, in addition to Counselor's magic system and the Cosmere ones, the SEFBM has access to unknown magic systems? And, since we apparently don't have one, can someone become our information processor for the intelligence about the SEFBM actions from the Spying division? This should be under this division, I believe. Fighting division: @Bearer of all agonies - A truthless assassin. Has both Taln's and Jezrien's Honorblades, which technically means he has access to the Bondsmith's Surges, in addition to Gravitation and... Cohesion, it was? The second Stoneward Surge, anyway. Unfortunately for us, he can't use these Surges spiritually. @Condensation - A shardblade, apparently. probably a deadeyes? Unknown kind of spren. Spying division: @Omi the Counselor - Conspirator and informant. Finds in every book the SEFBM, and reports about it's actions, so we could stop them once and for all. @Tesh - An infiltrator. Imitates nobles for us, and hopefully will help us infiltrate the SEFBM. Do you lead a team? because we'll probably need more than one person for that. Cover division (should it be a sub-division under Spying?): @Knight of Iron - Runs our front as a salesman, and helps with funding, because we apparently have no other source of money. We all should probably try to pretend we're part of this business - and who knows? Maybe we could use trying to sell people things as a dilation tactic! Entertainment division (this exists, apparently): @Shard of Reading - Bad comic relief. I don't know about that, I need to think of which bad comic relief I know. You could help us distract the SEFBM, plus maybe figure out how are the comic relief related to the story's Idei.

Well, he said they are the Ni's who say Knight. maybe they have no problem with it. Back on the topic: I have five siblings, and I get along with them just fine. I mean, they do annoy me and I annoy them at times, and my relationship with some is not the best, but I won't trade them because they are part of my life. I can't just decide on a whim to erase this part. A rule for you, BTW: never try to joke with someone while he's angry, or try to make him relax. You probably know that already. When you're angry, you usually, for some unknown reason, want to stay angry.

The 22nd of December? Isn't that just about the winter solstice? And no, I don't like peanut butter, thank you. TPBM actually takes interest in astronomical events.

I guess it would be the situation... If I celebrated Christmas. TPBM is not a christian, and still celebrates Christmas for some reason.

My brother used to say Kliser (read with a long i), and sometimes still does, just to annoy me.

Maybe, but they use allomancy for this usually, so they'll use primer cubes first.

You forget that since ferrings are a thing, there will be also lurchers/coinshots to check if anyone has a metalmind. It's true that they'll have a hard time sensing those, but we have seen Wax sense mediocrely filled metalminds.

A torus should suffice, and is at least only three dimensional.
