    After looking over the menu, Endikey decides on stew - cheap but filling and hopefully of acceptable quality.

    Rebus frowned. Narration - he had full control over his reflexes, and didn’t even need to blink if he didn’t want to. Then he saw the Shardblade - which was Parasite, if he was correct - moving, and sprung to block. Overclocking his mind and body, moving air out of the way so there was less resistance, Rebus caught the Shardblade on Antagonist and twisted, wrenching it out of Aeon’s hands with the halberd. It would be back in moments, but in a battle between a cronomancer and a posthuman, moments were a long time. He launched a flurry of literally hypersonic attacks, using Antagonist and utility fog - which was fully invisible and using almost hydraulic methods for incredibly force - to distract Aeon for long enough to draw a cylinder from his side. Smoke began to rise from Cursed Treasure, and Lezterp could feel tugging at the slight bond between them. Ignoring the ninjas, Rebus ran to Symbol and embraced her. She was safe - he hoped. Rebus nodded, knowing how emotional Mr. Whitlock must be. “I would doubt it,” Rebus said, smiling. “You’re still working with me, after all.”

    Will had expected as much. Perhaps he could change that eventually, but for the moment he had to prove he was useful. The potential applications of speaking any language was incredible - and even more so if the procedure could be generalized to skills or knowledge. That would be Will’s focus, for the time being.

    Endikey came into the tavern quietly, with his cloak covering his face - it wouldn’t do for anyone to recognize him at this point; nothing good could come of it. He looked briefly at the quest board, but sat down at a table in a corner and ordered food rather than sign up.

    Rebus jumped Antagonist to his other hand, slamming it into the Plate. To clarify, he’s trying to do this as she moves (because he can think that fast) so he can use her momentum against her.
  6. DragonHeir
    Will was interested in both the organization’s thoughts on him, and the method behind the language learning - if it was mysteriously sourced knowledge, directly implanted, or quickly learned.

    Your orbit will be more disrupted than that of my planet, but should it truly pose a problem I can alter it. I would suggest a perpendicular orbit, if the proper place truly is at the same distance. My planet and the stars can be considered stationary from some perspectives. Invention realized just how much of a problem his fellow Shards would be. Whimsy was the lesser of two evils, though, so he manifested a projection of himself to speak. Layke was clothed simply, much as he was during their journey together. He sighed, and spoke. “What do you suggest?”
  8. DragonHeir
    I’m at camp all summer, so I may have to drop out. If it’s still going when I have time, though, I may join late.

    Rebel screamed, the bond with Cursed Treasure flaring far more powerfully than ever before. His soul strained, and suddenly went out, fully consumed. Rebel slumped forwards and turned to dust. Rebus blew out the last bit of Ordered Chaos energy on his finger, and smiled. Meanwhile, Cursed Treasure strained to stay with Lezterp, fully consuming Rebel’s soul. Lezterp - my bond is gone. Rebel is dead. Rebus nodded. “Many would agree. Many would call all of the Thread’s inhabitants weird.” Rebus smiled inside the mask and locked together all the utility fog in the air, acting in an instant. “If you insist,” he said, watching Aeon hopefully become immobilized. Rebus took notice, but did not interfere - Asharak was doing well, and Lezterp would presumably self-destruct. “Truly no idea what you are talking about,” Rebus said cheerfully. “I would offer to help, but I’m not sure I can do much without undue risk.” Oops… “Colleges. That was what you wanted in return for your help - education for your children.” “I doubt it - many of my emotions are gone, excised from my soul.” Rebus grinned at Bacon. “Now, I’ll be taking either the paper, or something else - you can choose, I suppose.”

    Layke was glad, somewhat. This other Shard understood him - he felt better having an ally. And so Invention observed the new planet and new god in his system, thinking of possibilities. Welcome. This is not what I had intended, but it is good for us, I think. My planet shall stay in place - but Yrots shall complicate matters. What location shall we decide for it?
  11. DragonHeir
    Will read through the files, trying to find commonalities. His own procedures and notes might be quite useful - or simply interesting.
  12. DragonHeir
    Yup. I shall think more, though having it be created organically would be match the powers. Rebus did notice, but he wasn’t sure which emotion it was supposed to be. It worked better on crowds, anyway - as far as he was aware. Rebus took notice of this. He wasn’t sure how harm was defined, though - and this could still be hidden from him. Rebus smirked. “Bacon… You should know I am serious.” Rebus sent a spear of utility fog at Aeon, testing her defenses. It was still lit up and moving slowly from him to his target - as the metaphorical gloves came off, that would change. It is broken, yes. But firstly, this is already a Narrator, and secondly, the power (if it is working normally) works pretty much exclusively on interactions between people - either crowds or already existing interactions, which will often effect the user. Rebus held out his burning stick threateningly. “I honestly do not know what you are referring to.” Rebus realized this conversation needed to change. “I’d nearly forgotten - I was going to give you a list of collages.” For a little while there were just more adventurers. If we want to roleplay that we can, but otherwise… Rebus turned to Rebel, face nearly blank. “You were clever, I admit. But I’ve caught you now, and I shall not allow you to escape. I was going to execute you - I still am - but first there is something I want from you.” Rebus held out his hand, and the shifting dark and light of Chaotic Order burst to life in it. He flicked his wrist, sending a stream into the clone. Cursed Treasure gasped in Lezterp’s head, visibly flickering. What is happening? The bond - it’s going insane! “They were the ones like me, but they had shapes - not the cloud I have. Different, somehow, though texture and color is hard for me. And I think we were in a forest.”
  13. DragonHeir
    And that is why I am afraid. Each one of us can destroy ourselves and the others. If you will be reasonable, we can be allies. I have realized there is no true way to retreat away from these fickle gods - but we may be able to create a solution.
  14. DragonHeir
    Oh - then I suppose the non-intervention pact can include whomever it is who has that Shard.
  15. DragonHeir
    Rebus summoned Antagonist, not as a crown but as a wicked halberd. “Let us begin,” he said, smiling under his helmet. Rebus smiled. He didn’t think he could do this specific skill, even once he gave himself the same powers, but a part of him was giddy nonetheless at Fael’s destructive potential. “I’m glad you enjoy it.” Niche but powerful was the exact area I was going for - in contrast to Narration.
  16. DragonHeir
    Though Heir still doesn’t know his corn is fully Mistborn, once he does he can begin selective breeding or the mistcorn.
  17. DragonHeir
    Rebus nodded to himself, satisfied that the powers function properly. Sort of. It’s changing whether or not people react to each other, rather than manipulating any emotions directly. The power could also take a spark and make it light other fuel, but without a spark it couldn’t. It’s the coincidence thing - using feedback loops and cascading effects to get what you want to happen to happen. The other application is to create things that are a lot like Resonances - it can be used to combine powers and attributes that wouldn’t otherwise interact. Finally, there’s some tangential stuff like awareness of bonds, fractal and cellular automata motifs, and the catalyzing of Nullite and Prismite to make more Chaotic Order (this works through the second application). Rebus nodded gravely, with a slight smile. “I agree, then. If I win, I shall put in place measures to protect Parasite, should it continue to exist. If you kill this body completely, you win - I warn you, this shall be difficult.” Wrath only:

    Layke’s visions of the future trembled again, but they solidified again as - unknown to him - Cultivation decided against an immediate request. I should have known your Shard would give you interest in that. At the moment, though, I must disappoint - I have no goal but to have it all make sense, something the others are making it very hard to do. I have been learning what I can do, but the speed at which the others created life does not seem appealing.
  19. DragonHeir
    Now I have moderately poisonous Mistcorn. I don’t notice yet, though I do continue watering my plants with pewter dust.
  20. DragonHeir
    Rebus suddenly smiled. “My guess is that you used the power on yourself. You took a part of you and a part of the magic and put them together to make something new - that’s the other part of emergence.”
  21. DragonHeir
    Rebus frowned, honestly baffled. “What did you do? I suppose I can see some of it - did you amplify despair?” I do think that works, though it is much harder than a flash mob or riot, which can occur normally. Soulcrushingness can be kinda contagious too.
  22. DragonHeir
    I take the lerasium, chipping off a tiny bit to burn. The rest I hide somewhere. I start trying to farm from my gigantic spiky castle, proving your statement. I take another bit of lerasium, alloy it with pewter I got somewhere, and feed it to the plants so they will grow faster.
  23. DragonHeir
    “Yes - that’s why I brought you here.”
  24. DragonHeir
    We don’t know if that works or not, but if it does both of us get stronger. Successfully Leeching away either all the stormlight or all the nicrosil will shut the process down, though we have a couple Bondsmiths who may incidentally restore it. I suppose - but if the combatant is actually Fused, without anti-Investiture they’re invincible. Now that I think about it, if I drop the prep time (and just time bubble) I can be Fused - I don’t know how a Fused Sleepless would work, but it might be cool.
  25. DragonHeir
    Invention might be willing to help once Layke is influenced a little more, but he would like to stay very far away from the “scary Shards”: Odium, Ruin, Virtuosity, Ambition, Dominion, and to a lesser extent Whimsy, Autonomy, Mercy, and Valor (who are just plain unpredictable). You’ll probably get some Virtuosity Investiture you could do something with - assuming Virtuosity doesn’t receive the power to continue influencing it, in which case it’s a terrible idea.
