At least according to Kell, who thinks that anything that doesn’t have the smooth French-sounding flow is bad. Kelsier smirked as he took the toffee. “Will do.” Now, how to trick the twins into testing their own mischief... “Interesting trick that. All the syllables right and the sounds all wrong. Usually people do the opposite.” He tossed the toffee from hand to hand as he wandered toward the bank. “We need to go to the bank. After - care to give us a tour?” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelsier raised a brow as he reached the bank doors. “Map, huh?” He scowled briefly as he entered the vestibule, turning his head slightly to read the words on the inner set of doors. Trying to read words inscribed in metal with his right eyes was an exercise in futility. He’d long since become accustomed to his dual vision, but focusing with only one eye could still be disorienting. Still, he was too curious not to read the words inscribed on the silver doors. Enter, stranger, but take heed Of what awaits the sin of greed For those who take, but do not earn, Must pay most dearly in their turn. So if you seek beneath our floors A treasure that was never yours, Thief, you have been warned, beware Of finding more than treasure there. “Warning?” He laughed, shaking his his head slightly as he leaned forward to push open the doors, using the motion to hide the momentary lack of balance as his visions returned to alignment. “Sounds more like a challenge! It’s practically demanding someone try!” Quote In other news, it just hit that Kell is going to be one remarkable seeker. The snitch is made of METAL! Seeing with two drastically different forms of sight from each eye must have taken quite a bit of getting used to. I suspect a lot of falling over was involved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"There are also rumors of people trying to steal from the bank, and getting stuck in the vaults." Kelsier’s smile broadened. “Like I said - a challenge.” He burned steel, blue lines piercing the floors. As he’d suspected, there was a lot of metal below the building. Not much of a challenge really - at least, not for an Allomancer. Certainly not a Fullborn. He stopped burning the metal, glancing about the room instead. There were numerous small creatures manning the various desks - goblins, according to the HP file. An unusually large man was stumbling out of a side door, accompanied by a short, messy haired boy. Half giant, Kelsier determined, double checking the index in his Coppermind. He could feel the story weaving itself around the dark haired boy. Important then, maybe even the main character. It didn’t matter much to Kelsier, and he had no intention of disrupting the story this early. Maybe once they got to school... He ignored the duo as he walked toward the counter, not bothering to spare them another glance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Brief headcannon: after going through the High Noble families and discarding the ones from the wrong places, I ended up with far fewer options for Kelsier’s Noble family and went with the one I felt was the most likely. Kelsier swung himself on to the marble counter, briefly tapping pewter for the extra strength and dexterity. “Hi!” He said to the startled goblin. “I’m Kelsier,” he offered the now-irritated looking man a scarred hand. Scowling, the goblin gave it a brief shake. ”I need to access my funds,” Kelsier explained. “As do my friends.” The goblin sighed. “You have a key?” Kelsier shook his head. “I’m afraid not. I’m not exactly from around ‘ere.” The goblin heaved a long suffering sigh. “Oh, one of THOSE. Try not to wreck things too badly; the paperwork after a reweave is so tedious.” Kelsier smirked. “No promises, friend.” The goblin scowled, shoving a blank piece of parchment and a needle at him. “One drop off blood on the paper please.” Kelsier nodded, stabbing his index finger and letting the droplet fall to the parchment. Immediately words began to form identifying him. The Survivor glowered as his father’s surname appeared beside his own. He swiped his still bloody finger across it, obscuring the name. The goblin smiled cruelly. “You know they use surnames at the school, don’t you?” Kelsier forced himself to smile back, a dangerous light gleaming in his eye. “I’ll just ‘ave to see if I can’t convince them otherwise.” There was no way he was using that name. “I assume we can access the account now?” The goblin nodded. “Unless your friends want to access their accounts too?” @Narcoleptic Axolotl and @Lecky Twig, are you going down to the vaults? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
