Sherlock Holmes Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 Watch all the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit movies in one sitting. Finish Metroid: Other M in a day.

What if...what if YOU'RE MARSH AND YOU'RE LOOKING FOR IDEAS?!?! I'd say wait until Gen 8 comes out to collect all the Pokémon.

Also, Marsh: Um, excuse me. How are we going to bathe? Ruin: Don't know, don't care. Use the rain. BACK TO WORK! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, eat one cracker, and be full for the rest of the day) He might be eating off-screen... And as far as what Ruin fed them... There were a lot of dead people and koloss... Besides, how many feruchemical spikes could he have? Ruin harvested all the Keepers he could catch, which appears to be the entire population of living feruchemists on Scadrial not named Sazed or Tyndwyl, to steal one (1) feruchemical power from each. That's what you call a limited resource. And most Inquisitors of the Lord Ruler's making would not have had many, or even any, of them. Per the Coppermind's count, he had a total of 16 Inquisitors at his command, and we saw non-Marsh Inquisitors exhibiting F-steel and F-pewter - though oddly, they don't appear to have discovered or used Compounding, or the Inquisitor that Vin and Elend face together at the beginning of Hero of Ages that tried to spike Elend by moving in a burst of speed too quickly for him to follow would have been able to sustain it indefinitely (and totally destroyed, or spiked, both of them). Anyway, eschewing more Marsh Inventory Analysis, he certainly knows about compounding from Sazed's exposition in the Lord Ruler's throne room, and has used atium compounding to live 300 years... Which means not only is he compounding atium, he's compounding bronze to stay awake to tap that atiummind on a 24/7 basis, just like Rashek. So not only has he had 300 years to do stuff, about 200 of those 300 years are days without any downtime. And there are no more to come. And he's extremely visibly identifiable, so he can't just hang out in an Era 2 theater or cafe. To me, that's definitely got Long, Dark, Tea-Time of the Soul potential. If he's spiked for F-zinc, he might even fill zincminds to slow his mind down as the closest thing he can get to sleep these days. Though per a WoB, Era 2 Marsh is "Marsh's version of happy". He's not miserable. So whatever he's found to occupy his indefinite and sleepless prolonging, it's low key, and he's enjoying that. (That WoB even gives some flavor: "There's a part of Marsh that really likes skulking around and being an incarnation of Death in peoples' minds... There's a part of him, the part that's related to his brother, that really digs that, even if he would never admit it") Edited January 9, 2019 by robardin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have unnaturally long lives (presumably as a result of the bind points that were used to make them). Marsh mentions it to Kelsier at one of their meetings after Marsh infiltrates the Steel Ministry. This doesn’t mean that he isn’t still compounding those other metal, or even Atium, it just means that he wouldn’t have needed to in order to live so long. As for moving around in public, I’m sure that he could fit in with the Kandra and the Koloss with out issues. The Koloss might even regard him with some kind of religious significance. There are also the people that still follow the Steel Ministry’s religion and see him as their version of Kelsier. He would still make an interesting world hopper though so here’s hoping we get to see Space Marsh.

Interesting point about Inquisitors living longer than normal lives, he may or may not have been doing the Rashek Maneuver for as long as I'd thought. But he's definitely doing it by Wax/Wayne's time: Quote Questioner 1 How did Marsh survive for so three hundred years and *inaudible*? Brandon Sanderson Compounding atium. He got a little pouch that one of the kandra gets sent out with if you watch, and then Marsh shows up and he has the pouch. Questioner 2 <When is that>? Brandon Sanderson Go look for the little pouch of atium. source 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re gonna world hop it only makes sense to hit up Nalthis long enough to reach the 5th heightening which would make Atium compounding pointless. I forgot to add something Marsh could have bee doing all this time so here it is. Hang around graveyards at night and scare the rust out of rebellious teenagers.
