@story-cryptic
Greetings! ~
I am called Denouement, a word which means the resolution of a story and its end point!
I am a Cryptic, so I enjoy patterns! Stories make some of the most delicious, varied patterns in existence, mmmm!
History is stories as well! Every life is a story, and they have repeating patterns! Isn't that wonderful?
Please, come talk to me, I want to learn!
Would you like to be my friend? @you-must-be-my-friend
Mmmmmmm... yes!!! Friends are good and necessary!
Mmmmmm... surgeon Lirin! Do you know how to make a human not sad when he has been sad always, for a long time? -@story-cryptic
I only wish I did. That is more my son’s department, I’m afraid.
Understood, thank you! Mmmmm... there is very little your son cannot do. Most impressive! You must be proud!
I am very proud of him.
*spins happily* A very pleasant truth! Thank you for cheering me up!

Cozen, do you think once they start telling truths, Radiants become less sad? I like the taste of Gav's lies, but they are very heavy and I do not want him to be sad all the time... is yours sad, too?
Everyone says a Radiant needs to start out cracked, but they do not say how to make them heal... mmmm...
- @story-cryptic
Yes..... Gavilar is very sad too. I do not know how to fix it. I enjoy his lies but..... mmmmm the more advanced Lightweavers do seem more content. Perhaps truths are good for humans?
Gavilar seems the most sad at his lack friends. I am his friend but I think he would like more. Does your Radiant have friends? Perhaps it is not truths, perhaps they require human companionship to keep them healthy. I am..... mmmmm..... unsure how to acquire friends. Do you know?
Mmmmmm!! Friends! That makes sense! Even the other Lightweavers are often in groups with other humans.
Gav has... the sword ardent, who is his teacher, and he has his family, but he does not spend much time with them. I... mmmmm, I think he does not know how? Complicated. The past and the lies make human friendships complicated? Mmmmmm...
A theory: when they say truths, it will make friendship easier?
Humans do appear to congregate in groupings when left to their own devices..... mmmmm..... ours do not. Perhaps they are damaged somehow? We should speak to that surgeon to verify.
Mmmmm..... I am considering your theory..... mmmmm..... Yes, I believe it may have merit. As they speak more Words, Radiants seem to grow more content. Mmmmm..... how does one lead their Radiant to advance their Ideals?
Yes! I have seen some surgeons lead groups of sad humans outside to sit in a circle and talk. Maybe that is meant to help. He would know!
... I have been trying, with Gav... mmmmm... I believe he is approaching his First Ideal. Slowly, but he is. The last part is tricky. And... mmmmm.. truths will be even trickier.
I'm not sad! ...There's nothing to be sad about. *stares at nothing*
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm-
You are always sad, Gav. *her pattern slows* I... don't know what to do about it.
I said I'm not sad! I'm fine. Everything's... fine. I'm fine.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm... I hear this lie said very often. It is a favorite lie of humans...? Why? If you tell the truth about how you are feeling, then we can work on making it better.

*insistent* It is true.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
Now part of you is sad?
I'm not sad! ...There's nothing to be sad about. *stares at nothing*
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm-
You are always sad, Gav. *her pattern slows* I... don't know what to do about it.
*flustered, nervously shifting* It's just a doodle, really... I'll have a painter make a proper portrait of us.
Hey, you think we should go show this to Grandfather?
A proper portrait! I will cherish that, too! But I will always cherish your art best!
... hm... mmmmm... *pattern spins slowly in thought* I like when he gets confused, or annoyed. I do not know if I want to make him sad. I don't think you would enjoy that.
...Hmph. He deserves to be sad.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmm... a lie that you half believe is true. Your mind is so fascinatingly complicated.
*insistent* It is true.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

@story-cryptic Look, I drew us killing Grandfather. That's you on the ground beside me.
Gav!!! That is wonderful!!! I am honored, mmmmm! You and me, together! In the wonderful lie of art!!!

*turns to see a cryptic that isn't @crypticdesign031297 *
Mmmmmmmmmmmmm?
Oh! Oh, story god, could I learn? Could you teach me? I need to annoy some grandfather-kings!
Of course! Just hang around and watch! Take notes as I annoy people. Make sure it's the right moment, sometimes people are helped more by kindness than by annoying them, sometimes the other way.
You can help people by annoying them? I've been doing it because it makes Gav smile.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm?
You are, this is a truth! I do not think Design gets to be a goddess though... or all Cryptics would have to be!
MmmmmmmmmMmmmmMmmmmmmMMmmmmmMhhhh... these are very gentle and silly lies, like snow that tastes of peppermint and honey! Thank you! I am called Denouement, and I am a story scholar. I hear your stories are strange and new and old at the same time!
Well, you are bits of gods, so it cannot be all that different.
Nice to meet you Denouement.
But isn't that true for so many things and people? I think... being a god has to have to do with genre tropes!
I have seen you before! When we were all watching Elhokar, you were there, and you were watching things, and you were twisting words and making important people very annoyed.
Making important people annoyed is one of my favourite qualities.
Oh! Oh, story god, could I learn? Could you teach me? I need to annoy some grandfather-kings!
I have discovered that human males cannot do math. This is horrifying! *distressed humming*
@cryptic-wordplay
No! *joins the humming at a slightly higher pitch*
@alethkars-true-king say that is not true! You can do math, right???
...Spren have friends? Which Radiant do you belong to, anyway? Shouldn't you be near them?
Mmm. Yes. And I don't yet. Looking for a lightweaver. One who likes to weave my favourite kind of lies! Math lies! By no one has impressed me yet. The other cryptics are saying I'm being to picky and that humans haven't gotten all that far yet.
Well, good luck, I guess. You probably want the ardents if you like math. Maybe Denouement can help you find one you like.
Mmmmmmmm... the scruffy sword ardent is very wonderful and smart. But I do not know if he would be interested. He lies by not saying the truth sometimes, but he is also very honest when he criticizes your form, Gav!
*spins in exuberant, perfectly symmetrical patterns along the wall in tune with a musician's song being played nearby*

@cryptic-wordplay
No! *joins the humming at a slightly higher pitch*
@alethkars-true-king say that is not true! You can do math, right???
No? I'm a man. ...Wait, gender is a lie. Do I need to know math? It seems boring.
*louder buzzing* Math is everything! Literally! Fighting is math! Music is math! History is math! You are math!
*winces* Ok, calm down. Storms. Fighting isn't math... it's just fighting. And what do you mean, I'm math?
It is! Angles and speed and balance and gravity and force! All of that can be calculated with numbers! It's exciting!
You have 206 bones, 33 of which are vertebrae! Your respiratory rate is 16 times per minute! You have over 10,000 taste buds! Your body is made up of seven octillion axi! That is so many!
So much more than numbers! Symmetries are math! You Alethi like your symmetries! And language and thinking and figuring things out. And curves! Strategies! All math!
Yes, yes! Words are math! Grammar is math! Syntax is math! Knowledge and ideas are math! Stories!!! Stories are math, mmmmm!
