"You're no fun sometimes, you know that?" Kiki asked, putting on her best injured pout. "I'll get a reaction out of you one of these days. Besides, if you got any taller, you wouldn't be able to fit through doors." She smirked at him as she channeled: first to change his coloration, much as she had done to restore her hair to its natural blue, and then to alter the way light fell on his face - making it appear to take on a different shape - and the way his voice sounded. By the time she was done, except for his height and clothes, he looked and sounded like an entirely different person. "There," she said at last, "You're finished. Come on, Harran's probably waiting for us by now." Harran was, indeed, waiting for them, in a disguise of his own - complete with a darker head of hair than his usual pale silver - and, once the group was gathered together again, it was time to be off. They had just reached the top of the stairs, Kiki in the middle of pulling her cloak's hood up, when she saw it: An Earthshell. "Look," she said in a low voice to the others, nodding to where the creature - male or female, she couldn't tell - stood. "Either this is one of the strangest coincidences of all time," Harran whispered... "Or word of the incident has spread quite far indeed," Kiki finished. She fell silent, of course, as they drew closer; Earthshells were easily spooked, and she had no desire to offend one, either. If this one was actually staying at this inn, perhaps she would be able to try talking later. For now, though, they really needed to get going. She couldn't very well ignore it entirely, though. "Good day to you, traveler," she told the Earthshell in a soft voice, bowing slightly. Just a quick greeting, and they would be on their way.

Both. But for the sake of the forum game, I'll go with Rock. Comedy or Horror?

I'd still like to see the month-to-month from August to September, especially if we keep building on this momentum. We're really going to need a new server soon...

For the most part, it's just because we - the members, that is - have been around so long. The site was founded a little over a year ago, so we've had a bit more time to build up post counts than the newer folks. Also, welcome, Kelsier!

Sometimes the MBI one doesn't like to load, period, so it could also just be something wrong with the box itself, or on the provider's end of it.

Wow, with my vote, it's dead even. I was an RJ fan first. Wheel of Time was recommended to me by a classmate my sophomore year of high school, after I had told him how much I prefer fantasy - long fantasy - to any other book. I read from Eye of the World to either Winter's Heart of Crossroads of Twilight straight through in a single summer, having spent most of my time doing little else (except attending band camp). When I heard that Brandon was finishing the series, I went to his website, read his sample chapters, then promptly went out and bought Elantris and Mistborn 1. And, well, I think we all know well enough that that was all it took.

It'd be better to look at the data usage stats at the end of next month; since the transition happened toward the end of this month, the graph really isn't all that impressive right now, because it's averaging in the rest of August as well. So we'll update you in a month.

It's not that I wanted what is currently a Category 3 hurricane to slam into the coast. I just wanted the wind and rain that was supposed to come when it passed by us. XD Also, grats on the nerdy van, E! Enjoy it!

I looked into tapatalk - are you the one who tweeted us, by any chance? - and I'm not sure what the advantage would be. It would be convenient for people who already have the app, I suppose, but IPB has a great mobile skin that's really easy to navigate. Plus, you don't have to pay $3 to use it. Plus, let's not forget that IPB has a free app for the iPhone, with an Android version in development.

And where's Syl? Also, welcome!

Welcome to 17th Shard! Roswell, huh? I bet you saw a lot of weather balloons.

It seems to be fairly even, at least as far as my own experience goes. Maybe we should put up a poll, just for curiosity's sake.

Yes, that is exactly why that void was there. Totally. Remember, kids: play nice with the chat box!

Kamehame-HAAAA!

Hmm. I'll give this a try. Reptile but not dragon.

No idea. I think my old GMail account is still technically in beta mode, so that should tell you something about Google and their betas. XD

Yep, it's moving up the east coast right now; it's currently just offshore of Florida. We only got the outer bands, though.

You'll want to make sure of two things, before you do: 1) Wait until Chaos posts the RE topics. These will explain how to participate in the group. 2) Check with your teachers before submitting assignments you plan on turning in. Some teachers consider it cheating to get outside help on writing assignments, so make sure you know what's allowed and what isn't.

It was always strange seeing herself in a dress. The dark blue silk rustled as Kiki moved, inspecting her reflection and making sure all was satisfactory. She didn't own many dresses these days, but sometimes it was actually easier to dress like the person the world wanted her to be. Like now: Kiki the traveler might not be very successful obtaining an audience with the Crown Prince, but the Lady Kierra Vhaskar certainly would. And so, of course, she would dress the part. Even though all of this silk and jewelry felt downright alien to her by now. "There, that's good enough," she decided, having fussed with her hair for long enough. Stupid bloody long hair. She couldn't wait to chop it all off again. "Are you ready for me to disguise you?" she asked Nasir, smirking. "And are you sure you don't want pink hair this time?"

They promised us rain. Beautiful, glorious rain, all day. It's not so much as drizzling. I want my inclement weather, dangit!

Of course it is! I mean... I would like to announce that it is? I would also like to announce that this was the most boring hurricane ever.

So you're

Please don't cleave the forums. That's Kar's job, and I just recolored a bunch of obscure details. Also, hi! SOM1else, please use the edit button if you want to add something instead of doubleposting.
