Bands of Morning Spoilers
I have a feeling this Twinborn Terrace kid that Wax shot in the eye is gonna end up the main antagonist of this book. Let’s see if my wild and absurd ability to predict things makes a comeback.
There was a post I saw talking about how Achilles of Iliad fame would not survive sending one polite email, despite being good at, you know, war and stuff. It got me wondering: Would Cosmere characters succeed if they had to Send Email?
1. Steris: Yes
Steris is a master of email. She's cutting down her enemies with "per my last email" and "just to make sure we're all on the same page" and she knows how to use both CC and BCC.
2. Vin: No
Vin is leaping out the window at the first sign of email.
3. Kelsier: In a way
Kelsier signs off every email with "Smiles :)" which is terrifying, given some of the emails he writes.
4. Marsh: Yes
Marsh doesn't think that Kelsier writes good emails. Marsh, however, feels that he writes very good emails. Most of which contain the word "however."
5. Lezian: No
Much like Achilles in the post I saw, Lezian would die if he had to send one (1) polite email.
6. Sadeas: Yes
Sadeas has one of those fancy email signatures that says "Torol Sadeas" with green lettering in a cursive font. Adolin has always been secretly jealous of it.
7. Dalinar: No
Dalinar strikes me as one of those people who are incapable of answering more than one question in an email, who when asked, "Would you like to have the meeting Tuesday or Wednesday," simply respond "Yes."
8. Marasi: Moreso than she thinks
Marasi is always having a friend read over her email for her to make sure it's okay, but she's actually very good at email and probably doesn't need to do that.
9. Vivenna: Less so than she thinks
Vivenna writes emails that are politic but incisive...and never once has she been understood properly. Greg from IT still hasn't forgiven her for that email she sent a year ago that Vivenna thought was pretty charming.
10. Jasnah: Yes
Jasnah's emails are long, polished, and perfectly grammatical, and her eye only twitches a little bit when she gets "yeag" in response.
11. Lightsong: Yes but also no
Lightsong's emails are great! But of course, it's actually Llarimar writing them according to his "interpretation" of what Lightsong says.
12. Shallan: Yes but also no
Shallan was taught Proper Email Technique as part of her education. But also she saw that "Your timesheets are now three days overdue" email...and then she ceased to see it, and now she's busy designing Adoliin a new email signature that's way better than Sadeas's and uh maybe Radiant needs to take over again.
13. Adolin: No
The worst turn-based combat, in Adolin's opinion, is email. Why can he not simply duel Maurice from Accounting with swords?
14. Sarene: Yes
Sarene's favorite turn-based combat is email. Because she always wins.
15. Raoden: Yes but it's not his favorite
Raoden would much rather pick up the phone or stop by your office, but he can do email if he needs to. It's just much better to talk in person, you know?
16. Fort: No
His emails keep getting flagged as spam. If he didn't put "Great Deal!!!" as his subject every time maybe it would be different.
17. Yumi: No
It's not that she writes bad emails exactly, but she definitely overwrites them. Her intro paragraph is always like five lines long, and her conclusion turns "best wishes" into like nine sentences.
18. Rlain: Yes
Rlain is unfailingly polite in emails, even when he is responding to one that was...less than polite.
19. Sazed: Yes
Sazed's emails are meticulous and well-written, and he can always cite the exact policy he needs.
20. Renarin: It's mixed
Renarin appreciates that email allows you to consider and craft your response, but he does NOT appreciate that tone is impossible to determine. When his boss wrote, "We need to have a meeting," Renarin thought he would die (it ended up being about what color balloons to order for Sharon's birthday). Renarin just wishes humans would use email tone indicators like the Singers do.
