Mags

PoMee takes two pistols and 3 grenades. "M'kay, I'm ready."

"Cool." Merinn pulls out one of those jeweler monocle things and starts studying the crystals for ones of higher value.

Welcome to the Shard!! Do you have a favorite kind of bagel?

As the sun rises Sharpo continues on through the forest looking for anything edible.

The spear gets Sharpo in the shoulder, though it's not deep. He stumbles back, out of range, and wastes a moment on steadying himself. He makes another slash, this time going lower.

Yeah, I was thinking there was a reason why it wouldn't work that way, thanks. I didn't think about the second point, but that's awesome actually.

Probably something absurdly unhealthy-- like danish's or those bear claw pastries lol. Bagels are up there too, of course. Heheheh how did you know that . . . Okay, technically it is. The problem being that I actually haven't ever played it. I have however, watched a lot of play-throughs and sat with my own sister when she played it. So I've had a lot of experience with it lol. The story and art direction of Majoras Mask is phenomenal, but I haven't played the game so I don't have an opinion of the mechanics yet. Favorite Zelda that I have played so far is probably Skyward Sword.

Glad to know I'm not alone in this hehe

Oh yeah, that's true. Wait does Shardplate technically count as metal? Could a Mistborn push/pull on them? If that's the case then they could just chuck 'em around lol. I feel like that's unlikely though.

I get nervous when I have to sit down for a "talk" with any authoritative figure lol (bishop, parents, school counselor, etc.). I really hate it when people focus on me in a conversation for some reason . . . plus I always feel like I'm in trouble for something even if I know I haven't done anything wrong lol. It's kinda weird I guess.

me (jkjkjkjk-- I'm in a silly goody mood) I would argue probably Kelsier, if he get's to use his alomancy. Vin too, for that matter. They both manage to get through some pretty impossible looking fights with only alomancy and sometimes daggers/swords. No armor.

Merinn searches for Tedd.

PoMee looks over the gun selection. "Do shardblades count as invested objects?" She asks idly.

Oh yeah, I didn't think about how "the deep" can refer to the ocean. I like the idea of Shining Down, it mirrors the characters movements as they go down into the caves, and it represents your characters as something bright and hopeful. Nice symbolism!

Here's a bunch of random things that came to mind: -The Magic Down Under (lowkey sounds like it's about australia, yeah this one isn't great) -Deep Down (could refer to both the caves and the characters inner struggles) - Lost to the Dark -Beacon in the Deep -Shining Through -Down again -Purgatory (here me out with this one--) -The Darkness Devours -Cities of the Deep (you posted this before I finished writing) Great minds think alike lol!

Oh! I get this feeling so hard. I was explaining some of the bigger stories in my head to my family on night (for whatever reason) I was talking about how I struggle to figure out filler-plot for the stories. I've got the beginning and ends figured out, as well as the characters, but I have a hard time doing the in-the-middle bits. My mom said something along the lines of "You just need to sit down and write it, if you aren't constantly feeling the passionate urge to write than writing isn't really for you. If you really wanted to get this story down than it wouldn't already be written." I love my mom, and she's a really nice person, but sometimes her life advice doesn't really suite me. I think she was trying to be encouraging, but it came off as the opposite. imo, passion for something that interests you can be fostered, and can grow with time (I've experienced this with drawing actually, so I'm pretty sure it does work). It's okay to be casual about a hobby, we're not all Branderson, we can't all write 2 books a year. If you want to be like that, that's great! But I firmly believe that prolific-ness is a skill, not a natural trait or talent. It can be built up over time, you don't have to born with it, or whatever. Lots of really famous "masters' in writing history didn't write very many books, and they took a really long time to write them. Anyway, I just found this thread, and I will probably be here often lol, despite only having two (extremely jank) short stories and a few unfinished scenes to my name.

Sharpo has to dodge back to get out of range, the end of the spear just nicking his stomach. He lunges in for another attempted stab, this time from a different angle.

hehe you can call me Magi or JM if the full thing is too long. Blueberry's a great choice! One of my favorites as well.

Sharpo ducks under the swing, once again lunging in for another slash with the knife.

I was able to find this if it helps: I have a few more thoughts on this, but I have to go offline for a bit.

Taking the initiative, Sharpo lounged forward out of the darkness. Pocket knife in hand, he slashed at the figures midsection.
