With the sun barely peeking over the horizon and the nights mist still lingering outside the town, Val found themselves wandering the streets once more.  A habit long ingrained in the bones.  Day after day, year after year, rise with the sun and walk to the factory.  Every day the same thing and the same thing every day.  Mindless repetition.  To most, it would be boring but for Val, it kept them sane.  Or at least it used to.

About three months ago by Val’s reckoning, there was an incident at the factory.

The day started innocently enough, shipments of ore would come in from the mines ready to be sorted, melted and cast before heading off to more specialized factories.  Old man Arlen tripping on the same slightly raised patch of floor he trips over at least twice a week while Boss Johaap glowers at anyone he thinks might be moving too slow.  A normal day by any standard.

Until it wasn’t.

Val had just finished processing the third batch of ore for the morning when it all went crazy.  It started with a rumble and racket as one of the outer walls was ripped apart and pieces flung away only for some of them to come flying back crashing into workers and equipment alike.  Next came the girl, or what Val thought was a girl, it was hard to tell with all the strips of cloth fluttering around her.  Val watched in horror as freshly cast metal bars were lifted up by nothing hurling towards the girl before swinging around her and shooting off toward where she came.

Then the monsters came.  They looked like men but they could not be.  Not with those large spikes through their eyes.  They too lifted metal objects and fling them around, somethings at the girl and other times they seemed to be throwing them towards the workers, impaling them with shards of metal while swinging their axes to cut down whatever was in range.

A minute, maybe two.  That was all it took for them to rip apart the factory and disappear continuing their fight elsewhere.  Yet it took five more minutes before anyone moved, not out of fear but from shock and disbelief at what they had witnessed.

Val didn’t know who was the first to snap out of it but when they did, so did everyone else and that’s when the screaming started.

Bodies or parts thereof, lay scattered around.  Some ridded with holes while others were in pieces.  Some survivors were covered in blood, Val being one, while others sported various wounds.

A sharp stinging pain tore through Val as they noticed a couple of nails that had been torn up from the floorboards had embedded themselves into Val’s protective vest.  A simple leather apron and gloves that had seen much better times given to all workers that worked with or near the forges.  Good enough to protect from the occasional splash of molten metal but not it seems from flying shards of metal as some nails went all the way through or missed the vest completely instead impaling into Vals arm.

To be continued as it kinda got away from me and I'm running out of time today.

Tyrion was an actor. A performer. But there were moments like these. Standing behind the curtain, just out of sight, watching everything unfold perfectly. In such moments, his heart beat fast. His breathing quickened as he drunk the anticipation, grew drunk from it. He lived off it. Oh, how wonderful it tasted.

The horn blew, and the curtain fell. The crowd screamed, and with his back to them, arms raised, Tyrion grinned. Then he turned and ran, towards the cheers, towards the waves, and embraced the show.

…

That night, Tyrion returned to his tent late. His face was still blushed, and he waved goodbye to the giggling crowd that followed him. Then they were gone, and he sighed. Today, he was not careful.

When he pulled open the tent curtains, he jumped to find a man resting in his couch. His heart skipped a beat, then slowed again when he realized who it was. His fear turned to distaste, but of course, he could not show that; so Tyrion plastered on another smile as he greeted his Investor.

“Lord Venture! What brings you here at these hours?”

The Investor smiled. It was not a happy smile, but the kind of cunning and cruelty. Like the face a mean child would make before kicking a puppy.

”Business interests, my dear Tyrion.”

Tyrion tried to keep smiling, carefully settling down at the table Straff had already had filled with drink and bread. He didn’t touch anything.

”It always is, isn’t it”

Awkward silence. Tyrion rushed to fill it again.

”And what would those be?”

The Investor’s smile faded. He pulled a crumpled paper from his pocket, and slipped it across to Tyrion. The latter picked it up with two fingers, and carefully unrolled it.

Tyrian Falls

Tyrion almost laughed reading the name. Not because of his own, but because of his history with that place. His smile faded too.

”Well?”

The Investor seemed to be enjoying this. He leaned forward in his seat, arms crossed before him. Tyrion looked up at him, and for a moment, his face revealed his true feelings. He had drunk nothing, but still he felt a poison welling in his chest. Then he shoved it back down.

Tyrion’s face filled with an enormous grin.

”I’ll be there within the week.”

He was an actor. A performer.

And he would play his part to perfection.

Oh what the heck I'll join as "As Exp"

largely because I legitimately thought Counter was Kas and that was the joke lol
I'm going to intentionally lower my activity this game as I think I need to not make these games my entire life when I'm playing them but I'll still be pretty active lol.

Also hi Stick! it's been a long time!

Chaos and mayhem boiled out of the now ruined factory as bloodied workers flooded into the streets, most covered in wounds while some were missing entire limbs.  The streets themselves were already packed with people from other factories that had also been caught up in the fighting.  Hundreds, if not thousands of injured people panicked as they fled the still ongoing carnage.  Dozens of people trampled underfoot or crushed against walls as everyone tried to escape.

Back in the devastated factory, Val calmly and slowly removed their upper clothing and retrieved what passed for a first aid kit.  A couple of strips of cloth that was likely the same strips that the last person used just washed so the bloodstains were removed and a simple needle and thread set that was very close to running out was all that remained.  Val was lucky there was that much when normally when a Skaa like themselves gets injured they are simply taken away and killed.  After all, why waste time and resources healing when the factory owners can just get a replacement worker the next day.

As Val methodically removed any shrapnel and stitched the wounds shut, one of which went all the way through Val left side leaving a neat hole in the front but a slightly jagged hole in Vals back, Val failed to notice that they weren’t in as much pain as they should have been, nor were they panicked.  In fact, Val didn’t really feel much of anything.

Finally finished the RP I wanted to get done before the game started.  Just in time too.
For those wondering, Val is basically a Scadrial version of a Drab.  I thought it might be fun to try and RP one.  Some liberties/changes have been taken to help make it work but it is possible.
From the Coppermind:

Quote

Creating a Hemalurgic charge requires physical injury, and generally results in the death of the victim. It is possible, however, to charge a spike without killing the target, in which case they would be left in a similar spiritual condition to a Drab, but in a worse condition.  In order to charge a spike without killing the victim, one must have the proper Intent, a very thin spike, and to speak a Command (although this step is not strictly necessary). It apparently requires the needle be threaded carefully through the flesh, as to not strike organs. Doing this leaves the victim with a small portion of their spiritweb torn off, but leaves them alive. This also allows one to collect Investiture from non-Allomancers.

Alright, signups are officially closed.

Please stand by for Night 0.

(If you are Spiked, you will receive a private message shortly. Otherwise, sit tight until Day 1 begins!)

I do have to redo my distro real quick but it shouldn't take long

edit: to clarify, if you haven't gotten a private message at this point, you're a villager

allomancy roles are yet to be determined

“It’s strange, not choosing what mistings are on the board,” Preservation hummed.

“I don’t like it.”

“You don’t like anything new,” Ruin pointed out.

“Years of imprisonment left you senile,” Preservation mourned. “I created a whole new world, remember?”

“It’s wasn’t only your creation,” Ruin snapped back. “And you were young. New to playing god. The power hadn’t had much time to work on you, yet. On either one of us. If it were now, it would be a different story.”

“You think we’ve lost the ability to create on that scale?”

“Yes,” Ruin said bluntly.

“Interesting.” Preservation looked uneasy. “What do you suppose the Spiked will do, anyway? Will they take out as many misting as possible? Or take some of the powers for themselves? Personally, I was a big fan of the Smoker idea.”

Ruin shrugged, not remarking on the change of subject. “It’s really up to them. Whatever happens, I get to witness deaths.”

“So bloodthirsty,” Preservation tsked. “This is why you’ll keep losing, you never play the long game.”

“Not every game needs to be long,” Ruin huffed.

“But there’s always the next game to prepare for,” Preservation rejoined.

“...until there isn’t,” Ruin said darkly.

“You would get bored,” Preservation accused.

“Maybe I’ll pick up a hobby, after this world comes to dust.”

Preservation chuckled. “I have a hard time picturing that.”

Suddenly, Tyrian Falls reset.

The burned out buildings were repaired in the blink of an eye. A new cast of villagers lived inside. Some of them had spikes.

Nobody particularly remembered that this was odd. After all, the army of koloss would arrive soon, and time was of the essence.

Welcome to the game!

PMs are open. Go wild!

As of now, everyone should have received their role messages.
