  1. I want to join. Where should I put my character? @Koloss17 If you could I wouldn't mind restarting the Alleyverse.
  2. Hello! Welcome to the shard! Please consider an intro post to tell us what you have and haven't read (whichever list is shorter) and so we can get to know you better!

      Hi, I'm still figuring out where's what on this website :)

  3. It has been closed by the moderators so nobody can post on it.
  4. "But, why would you do that? That's just confusing. And Hoid isn't dead."
  5. I sit down and begin writing this: I thought the door to The Shard was the most intense thing I'd ever handled, but then everything went sideways again. I was barely holding my copy of The Way of Kings together, trying not to faint while talking to this other patron, Coder, when the noise level suddenly dropped a bit. I turned around, still feeling about an inch tall, and that's when he walked in. The man was... luminous? I don't know how else to describe him. He moved with an unsettling grace that didn't quite seem to follow the laws of physics I remember from Earth, like he was made of moonlight and sarcasm. My breath hitched in my throat. This had to be the person the rumors were really about—a living legend, someone who spanned realms and stories, right here in the same smoky, shifting air as me. My heart hammered against my ribs, a nerdy thrill momentarily overriding the sheer terror. This was a story I had to get for the paper. He looked around the room, that same weird, detached expression on his face. And then... he just fell asleep. On his feet. Or maybe leaning against the wall, I don't know, I was too shocked to notice the details. Just like that. Eyes closed, snoring slightly. I stared, completely bewildered. "Did he just... fall asleep?" I whispered to Coder, adjusting my glasses for the twentieth time. My pulse was going a million miles an hour. "He just... did nothing? That's it? The Multiverse's most famous traveler just decided to catch some Z's right after making an entrance?" Part of me wanted to run over and interview him right there, get some quotes for my article. Another, much louder part, was yelling at me to find the nearest exit. I'm Akimiko, and I came here for a story, but honestly, this place is going to be the death of me. First shifting walls, and now the most enigmatic man in existence just falls asleep like a regular person. The Shard is even weirder than I imagined.
  6. Cristal, who universally goes by her nickname Akimiko, nervously pushes open the heavy door to The Shard. The bar’s interior is a dizzying assault on the senses, a cacophony of strange accents and shifting realities. She instinctively adjusts her thick-rimmed glasses, which magnify her wide, anxious eyes as she takes in the scene. She’s short—barely five feet tall—and tries to make herself smaller, a habit from years of feeling overlooked. Her gaze falls on Coder, who has just entered and is standing near the door. Akimiko hovers near the entrance for a moment, clutching a slightly battered copy of The Way of Kings to her chest like a shield. Taking a deep, shaky breath, she approaches Coder, her voice barely a whisper over the bar's din. "Uh... hi," she mumbles, adjusting her glasses again. "The rumors... they're true, aren't they? About this place?" She glances around nervously, clearly intimidated but also intensely curious, her nerdy excitement warring with her natural shyness. "I'm A-akimiko I'm just here to right about this place for the paper."
  7. You also forget, you are stuck to the ground.
  8. *lashes both of you down and out of reach of the sword and each other* NO MORE FIGHTING!

  10. My second Ideal: I will master my assumptions, seeking true understanding before acting, so that my actions genuinely lead to a better path. I learned this the hard way. There is a lot of context but I don't feel comfortable sharing it.
  11. That happened to me too.
  12. "Um, what just happened?" The fire department finally shows up, and begin looking at the building in confusion.
  13. We were exploring a house to get a map. When a grandma gargoyle appeared out of nowhere and the Barbarian dropped his torch. I'm sure you can guess what happened next. Let's just say, he was banned from ever holding the torch again. I've done that more than my fair share of times.
  14. Also by the way, I was at dinner with my extended family, which for some reason I decided to place over the shard.
  15. "Hurry we need to get as many people as we can out of there before the whole place comes down!"
  16. Don't be. I've been here since August and I only have 108
  17. Which I did. I would like to be properly voted out if you decide that you must.
  18. [Sorry I've been really busy.] As we round the last corner, we see a huge residential building that has gone up in flames.
