    "Uh...No, I'm alright." He stepped through the door. He took a moment to form words. "Why did you want me to come here?" Maybe a bit too direct.

    Mark receives the unidentifable contact origin and goes over to Crocus' house. Because most of what he had been working on had been related to the Marksmen harassing his friends, the Steeles, who had now stopped, he had found himself with a ton of free time for the first few days. Now, though, because of his Shardblade, he had found a simple job at a different construction site where they needed to cut away some stone to dig out the basement of a new building. With all of the new development in the city, still going this long after the revolution, it wasn't too difficult for someone like him to find temporary work. He, once again, knocked on the door.

    Mark gets very drunk at the wedding and wastes a bit of his stormlight burning it off but otherwise is plot irrelevant for x amount of time.

      I missed spelled my name today. Not joking. But I am glad the universe is keeping a balance

    He would have asked if Marewill needed anything, but doing that with Tinker and her whole family standing there would probably be a bit out of place. In fact, it was a bit out of place that he was there in the first place. But, considering the whole almost-dying-several-times thing, it was probably important. His mind went back to the days when it had started, when the games were just beginning again. That was probably what had empassioned those who opposed their rebellion to come for them. Maj... He had died honorably. He had died sticking to his values. Mark was glad once again that their crazy escape from the Marksmen had worked. While it had been pretty messy, they were both alive, so were Adris and all of the Steeles, and everyone who lived around them. Nobody but Marewill and Mark had been hurt. Well, nobody but Mare, Mark, and all the people Mark killed. But they started it. Mark made an excuse about needing a toilet and stepped out of the room. He paced down the hallway, memories thick in his head. it's done, he thought. But that was what he had thought when the rebellion ended. Or, further back, what he had thought when he had ended the conflict between the Rusted and the Steeled, by killing Sereine. It won't ever be done. He thought instead. There might always be another conflict, another war another fight another person trying to end the things I have started there will always be madness insanity and humans but I. Will. Remember the ones that came before. He went back into the room a few minutes later, head finally clearing. I'm ready for whatever is next.

    Mark was still off a little bit away from the heartwarming family reunion, fidgeting with his Shardblade, manifesting it as different mini figures and practicing animating them. He felt that he should say something, talk to Marewill about…well, the fact that the two of them had almost died several times. But it was nothing new to them. For once, neither he nor any of the voices within him had anything to say. Until he had to sneeze. He tried to stifle it, but it came out raucously. Uhhhh…. ”Excuse me,” he said, embarrassed. He grabbed a tissue.
  8. The Stormfather
    Mark stayed a few paces away from Mare and her family, putting in the occasional word or nod, but not contributing much. Family…Interesting thing, that. He barely remembered his own. For the longest time, he had thought of the Rusted as his family, as a giant, messed up family with only one parent and about thirty brothers. Then…the games. He had family now, sort of. With Astra, and with the rest of the tributes who were gathered in the same area and were often together. But he had lost a lot of them. He tried to put himself into the happy moment of Marewill being awake and alright, but, as excited as he had been when he first heard the news, he now simply stood and contemplated. He wished Astra could be around more. But, of course, it was her continued effort playing the casinos and being social that let him live the life that he did, and let the two of them afford what meager stormlight they could gather.
  9. The Stormfather
    When Mark heard the news that she was awake, he immediately dropped everything to go see Marewill. Literally. He dropped his cup of tea on his foot. Cursing, he shouted to the empty house ‘I’ll clean it later!” And ran off. He wanted to Slick his feet to get to the hospital quickly, but he knew he shouldn’t. He barely had any stormlight, and it would be better used if any of those people were to come back. Though, after all that, I don’t think we have to worry about THEM attacking US anymore. They might have something to worry about, though. But, his instincts urged against fighting. No, this time…Well, he had fought enough. These weeks of worry and confusion hadn’t rested him at all. The police weren’t much help, they couldn’t find any of those people. The bases that had been marked on the map were abandoned, with little sign of ever been inhabited. He arrived at the hospital walking rushedly, forcing himself to not break into a run. Making his way through the halls, he remembered the last fight he had had with the strange enemy. He threw open the door to Mare’s room with flair. ”Catching up a bit of lost sleep, were we?”

    I’ve been on the shard for 12% of my life. (And like 20% of what I can actually remember)

    That’s crazy.

    my life is so strange.

    in a good way though.

      It's probably better not to mention the mistakes/small information leaks; in pointing it out every time it directs people's attention to it.

      @Usseewa I’ve said a few times how old I am, I don’t particularly care if somebody knows this.

      If anything, it makes someone much more likely to underestimate me because, as I have shown over the course of my time on the shard, I am really not seeing things the same way as a normal person my age. 
      and when people underestimate me it is quite comedic.

    Eventuri flees the maze back into the forest, sitting down with his back against a tree. He starts sobbing uncontrollably. He reaches into his pocket, taking out the mostly-crushed berries, eating them, no longer worried about any poison. It wouldn’t be any worse than dying to a monster, or Ceru, or any of the other tributes. I’m already dead. Survival shouldn’t be enough of an issue to me to abandon Stylan… He wants to stand up, go and help, try to save… Is it better for both of us to die? Save Stylan from the Hydraspine, kill it or just flee… His legs find no strength to stand. So he leans back against the tree and cries for the loss that he knows will be swift in coming. He anticipates cannons firing in the distance, knowing that he could have tried to stop them. And he didn’t. How much of a fraud am I?
  14. The Stormfather
    I remember when I was like 13 (just joined the shard) I was trying so hard to start an RP and none of them would really like ‘hook’ people’s interest (they weren’t very good ideas tbh) but Fadran was always very helpful to little child version of me, and kinda explained how this place actually worked to me. it’s also a very strange feeling to be wistful at 15. I might be too old for my age. I miss the days when The Sibling and I would both be RPing through the shard from like four feet away from each other and giving each other updates on how our respective RPs were playing out.
  15. The Stormfather
    Eventuri screams and runs away. “Stylan you got that fight right?!”
  16. The Stormfather
    Eventuri screams but, is of course stunned as was mentioned. This is not good.
  17. The Stormfather
    "You might be right." Do I shove him? Leave him to die? Could I? Eventuri shakes his head and steps back again, reaching into his pockets for the berries, hoping that they are truly poisonous like he suspected (They aren't) He throws some of the berries out in front of the monster.
  18. The Stormfather
    Eventuri dives away to avoid the spores, landing heavily on his side. I am not cut out for this, he thinks, standing back behind Stylan and Rayer, who at least had some object they could throw. “I’d suggest hitting the head that just said ‘kill everyone’ if you can. Or we run away, but I don’t think we outrun that thing,” @mippo @KaladinsSenseOfHumourSpren

      Oh yeah I’m fine. I have a slight condition that might come into play when I’m like 60 but I am 15 and perfectly fine.

    HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!

    In all honesty, this past year has not been my best. For the world and the political tensions rising, and also for the many, many cracks that have been driven into my heart and soul.

    But, as we all know, “All [it] did was identify the spear that would not break,” - Oathbringer (I’m paraphrasing but I’m pretty sure that I worded it right.)

    The world, fate, luck, some otherworldly being, whatever you personally wish to call it, had many cards to play this past twelve months. I have gone through more in this time than I have in most of the rest of my life, although, as some of you know, I am…15…and I may be feeling more from this year since I am simply more aware of what happens around myself. I don’t know where 2026 will go, but every scrap of myself wishes for it to be an improvement on what came before.

    I am not yet an adult. This may surprise some of you, although I believe I have mentioned it at least a few times in the past in my time on this site. And so, I have no idea what the adults among this community will have gone through in this year, but, whatever they are, I will be able to better understand the processes of grief and the staggering in and out of depression.

    This is not a terrible thing.

    Don’t get me wrong, the world would certainly be better without some of the things that have happened to me, but it is not as awful as it seems at it’s base.

    I am a writer. (I am going somewhere with this,) I weave new characters and worlds together out of my imagination. For the longest time, I have relied on my own observations from outside in my writings to write the sadness and uncertainty that follows many of the events in which I write about. If you’ve read any of my writing, you’ll know that blood stains more pages than it doesn’t. Characters have to grow, characters have to find ways past their trauma to, potentially, help others and cleanse the world of some of its worse factors.

    As a character, I have grown immensely this year. I feel a decade older than when the year begun. With everything that has happened, I am better because of it and stronger because of it. The force of my will has turned back every card that the world has played on me and my own resolve, shattered many times, continues to reform stronger each time.

    With each step I take, my legs strengthen. With each strike that hits me, my defences grow. 

    I will continue to grow. I will age mentally faster than physically because that is who I am, and that person is not someone who is afraid to say all he means anymore. I will not stay silent anymore- I will not stand by and watch as others suffer as I have.

    sure, maybe the hits have strengthened me, but it is infinitely easier to step forwards with a shoulder to lean on. I will offer my hand to those who need it, and I will never again fall into despondency when my family is in need of guidance.

    Maybe I shouldn’t be forced to grow this much in one year, especially at 15. But we all storming know that this world is imperfect in so, so many ways.

    This next year will bring greatness. I cannot say how, I cannot say when or why, but I know that sometime in 2026 you will find yourself stronger than before, and if you don’t, I will do what I can to help you lift yourself back up.

    These words may have some meaning to them. They certainly do to me, as they are a patchwork of many ideas that flit through my mind every day. To you, I cannot know. I hope they mean something good. If not, I apologize.

    I hope the cracks that form in you fill with something stronger.

    I hope the new year brings new hope, happiness and life with it.

    I dearly hope it brings me love, but that is mostly unrelated.

    Happy New Year.

    “If it can talk, it can be taunted. We can get it to act irrationally, and you can lose it in the maze when it chases you and abandons the water. We stick to the original plan.”
  22. The Stormfather
    "That doesn't sound good." Eventuri listens closer, trying to determine whether the rumbling is that of a growl or that of something else, potentially the water that was spoken of. He keeps moving through the maze, though now he is crouched down and trying to move quietly, and he motions for the others to do the same. "We can't let it know that there are multiple of us, otherwise it might not chase Stylan," Eventuri whisper-shouts over the rumbling. @mippo @KaladinsSenseOfHumourSpren
  23. The Stormfather
    Eventuri looks at him, shocked. "Thank you, Stylan." He takes a moment to breathe. "Lets get moving; we still have to get through this maze in the first place." Aethers Above, we could really use some help right about now.
  24. The Stormfather
    After standing around in silence for several da- minutes, Eventuri says "I think we should try to take on the monster. Finding water in the ground is going to be very dirty and might not even work, so I think one of us should try to bait the monster into the maze and lose it in the trees while the others get some water. I can be the one to do that, if I need to, but only if the two of you promise to give me some of the water you get, because I haven't had any yet and it is starting to hurt. I won't be helpful for much longer if we don't do something." @mippo @Ookla the Wallfacer
