The Forgetful Archivist

TFA looks up from the tower he has been constructing out of coasters and asked "Has any one seen Nohadon lately? The last I saw of him was 8 days ago" turning back to his tower he added, "I hope no one killed him, there has been a lot of that going around..."

 What's a yeet? 

 Is it a Yak crossed with a beet?

I to am in a concurrent enrollment in high school thingemy, my spring break was a week ago, it went by fast  

Several months ago I decided to trust the DA cookies since then I have felt a strange sense of loyalty towards them... HELP ME!!! I AM TRAPPED!

I think this sounds awesome, I would like to join up. The Cosmere cultures are all so intricate an diverse, it is super cool to have a group dedicated to studying them. 

I would love to become a liebrarian initiate.

I am so glad to see someone who hates Alcatraz too! Why can't he number his chapters sequentially and what is the deal with persecuting the librarians. As a believer of Hobbs' social contract theory, I think the librarians have been right the whole time.  Disclaimer: I don't believe any of what I just said, I love Alcatraz! I am infiltrating the library!

If you were in a room filled entirely with people named Gary, and I mean filled - thousands of Gary's packed into a concert hall for a big convention - and you were the only one not named Gary, what would you do? Would you try and conceal your identity? Or rise up and become the leader of the Gary's? Or try and escape the Gary's before they find out who you are?!? 

 

I literally fell out of my chair laughing!

I'm actually considering leaving and going to the Light Alley now. Honestly I'm back and forth. I'll update when I decide. Wait, is quitting allowed? *Prepares to run to safety*

There have been light alleys before as have there been mediocrity lit alleys and assassins in technicolor, all have fallen, all will fall. The DA is forever if you do leave us please remember that you are always welcome to return.

Somebody get the silver dust, let's catch us a cognitive shadow!

"A little warning next time" says TFA trying to pat out the fire on his cloke. On his face was what might have been a look of anger, it was hard to tell with the lack of eyebrows.

The field of combat darkens and a swirling mass of shadow begins to form, with a woosh a figure steps out as the shadowy mass disperses and the field renters to its normal lighting. Dropping a coin the figure rose into the sky towards the large floating island as he approached he hollered " HOWS IT HANGING MAC, MIND IF I JOIN YOU? I BROUGHT POPCORN"

but a hammer would cause crippling damage to anyone who was hit

I would argue that a shard weapon with a blade would be more effective, bladed weapons can cut souls while shard hammers just smash.

If we are dealing with Shardplates we need to remember that they absorb impacts really well (we have seen them being used to jump off high places without shattering the user's legs) this means a Shardhammer or any other weapon for that matter would be unable to transfer much force to a person inside a Shardplate. It typically takes 2 hits with a Shardblade to crack a piece of Shardplate, this is because a six-foot-long magic metal sword already has a fair amount of heft to it. Shardblades are special because they can cut the soul, a weapon that doesn't cut ignores the most powerful aspect of a blade.

Why would a radiant use a shard hammer?

The whole idea of Shard hammers kind of confusing isn't the point of a war hammer to use a large amount of weight to crush an opponent? Shards are way lighter so it would be like fighting a battle with a paper-mache hammer instead of a steel hammer.

My friends used to ask me what I have been up to... they don't ask anymore.

@Nohadon and @LopenTheTwoArmedHerdazian when is this gonna go down?

Sorry but I don't exactly know what you mean, could you explain?

It's a Warbreaker thing, essentially if you said the phrase you would lose an important component of your soul.

Welcome have an upvote and a cookie pie

Sounds fair enough. Altho the Code Duello (which I assume you are referring to) calls for the two parties to fight with the same weapon, are we going to do that too?  

Welcome to the Shard, have a free upvote and cookie. What was your first Cosmere book, was it also your favorite?

However, perhaps I should be worried that they might spike out my nicrosil? Or, even, my kidneys?

We are loyal to each other we usually only spike outsiders.
