Ataraxian Wist she/her Posted December 16, 2017 Posted December 16, 2017 "Any new Worldhoppers?" Sef asks.
MacThorstenson he/him Posted December 16, 2017 Posted December 16, 2017 "Well that is rather sensitive information isn't it? Why would you need to know that?"
Ataraxian Wist she/her Posted December 16, 2017 Posted December 16, 2017 "Because I have two jobs," Sef answers. "The first is more of a hobby, and that's studying Realmatic Theory. The second helps a lot with the first, and involves keeping a tab on Realmatic traffic to and from Scadrial. So I ask again, is there anyone here who's not native and hasn't been here before?"
CarolaDavar she/her Posted December 16, 2017 Posted December 16, 2017 "Are you a Worldhopper? Which worlds have you been to? I will answer your questions, but I would like you to answer mine."
MacThorstenson he/him Posted December 16, 2017 Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) "I'm not sure that you are looking for us, We've all been here for at least a day," Louik starts sweating, I Hate realmatic traffic controllers. He thinks aloud while compounding zinc. "However you found us at this place, it was probably triggered by something, none of us have world hopped here in the last 24 hours. So the trigger would have happened yesterday for us. Most likely the guy that your looking for is the one crumpled in the stairway," Edited December 16, 2017 by Ookla the Capricious
Ataraxian Wist she/her Posted December 16, 2017 Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) "By definition, yes. I have been to your homeworld, Roshar, as well as Nalthis and the Cognitive region of the Drominad System. I know you're not the one I'm looking for though, as I've already marked you as safe on my Perpend-Rial." EDIT: "Ah," he says. "He's the Bloodmaker you mentioned, I assume?" Edited December 16, 2017 by Sazedezas didn't want to double post.
MacThorstenson he/him Posted December 16, 2017 Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) "No, the bloodmaker is gone. Sadly. We came here looking for him and that scub showed up instead." Louik the mumbles something about him being hemalurgicly useless. Edited December 16, 2017 by Ookla the Capricious
Ataraxian Wist she/her Posted December 16, 2017 Posted December 16, 2017 "A Hemalurgist?" Sef asks the cookie man. He had heard something that sounded like that in the man's muttering.
MacThorstenson he/him Posted December 16, 2017 Posted December 16, 2017 "What? That guy, no he has no spikes on or in him."
Ataraxian Wist she/her Posted December 16, 2017 Posted December 16, 2017 "Hmmm," Sef muses. "Well, you're on my safe list, but Lawbringer's network has you tabbed." He muses for a moment, then blinks. "Are you a Hemalurgist?"
MacThorstenson he/him Posted December 16, 2017 Posted December 16, 2017 "Yes I am a hemalurgic baker. More importantly why would you guys have me tabbed? Last I checked I hadn't done anything illegal enough to be noticed by you guys."
Ataraxian Wist she/her Posted December 16, 2017 Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) Sef bristled visibly. Had that man just called him part of Lawbringer's network? "I would have you know, Hemalurgist, that I am only loosely affiliated with Lawbringer, and that only because of my concern with homeland security. I find your comment somewhat offensive." EDIT: "As for Lawbringer, his followers have marked you as 'potentially dangerous' due to your being near several murder scenes at about the right time. He generally doesn't fuss too much over murderers, unless they're in his current zone, which shouldn't be Scadrial for another year." Edited December 16, 2017 by Sazedezas
MacThorstenson he/him Posted December 16, 2017 Posted December 16, 2017 "Excuse me for not knowing the difference between the Lawbringer's network and a man who just appeared in my face, doing the exact same thing that a member of the lawbringers network would have done. Also, let it be noted that I was not responsible for their deaths, the spikes were all placed in non-lethal spaces."
Ataraxian Wist she/her Posted December 16, 2017 Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) 'Wait... how does that work?" Sef asks. "I'm not an expert on Hemalurgy, but I was under the impression that it didn't work unless the person died of it." He fingers his earring as he says this, a puzzled expression on his face. EDIT: He turns to the Roaharen woman. "Forgive my distraction, fair one, but you said you'd answer my questions? Or is that what he was doing?" He asks this last with a gesture toward the Spike-Baker. Edited December 17, 2017 by Sazedezas new stuff
MacThorstenson he/him Posted December 17, 2017 Posted December 17, 2017 I am on mobile right now and can’t change the color of my text. Until I get back to my computer I will just bold it If you spike a gold compounder in a non-lethal spot they can compound gold fast enough that they heal themselves. Also the reason that people die is not because they got spiked in a lethal spot, although most of the time it is, it’s that people have a hard time surviving without pieces of their spirit web.
Ataraxian Wist she/her Posted December 17, 2017 Posted December 17, 2017 "Ah," he says, mostly comprehending what the Cookie-Spiker is talking about. He's read about Spirit Webs in some of Khriss' essays. "As I said, I'm not a Hemalurgist. Not even an Arcanist, really, just a Realmatist. Anyway, I'm not here to enforce any arbitrary or natural laws, I just got an alert for Perpendicular activity in this area, but I must have got pulled off course." Or maybe I was Pushed off course.

Ataraxian Wist she/her Posted December 17, 2017 Posted December 17, 2017 (edited) "I'm probably wasting my time here, but you people are my best shot at finding this Worldhopper. Hopefully it's just someone I haven't marked yet. Aside from that, you fellows intrigue me." EDIT: "Waht's Neplheim?" Edited December 17, 2017 by Sazedezas
Ataraxian Wist she/her Posted December 17, 2017 Posted December 17, 2017 "Oh. Right," he says, face-palming. "Cognitive Scadrial. Who are 'your kind?'"
Kingsdaughter613 she/her Posted December 17, 2017 Posted December 17, 2017 “My ‘kind’ are the same as your own Northerner. We are one species and share this world. Our Sovereign is your Survivor. Ett reigns over us both. “My people are the Shafan.”

+ElephantEarwax he/him Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 "So what do we do next. The bloodmaker is gone, so we need a new way to get the power and information." ~Rend
Ataraxian Wist she/her Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 Okay, so Sef thinks the cookie might have been drugged. Do we want to play off that, or something else? (I've already thought if what that could be) "What information?" Sef was quite confused now. He should have recognized that mask, and the woman's accent was obviously Southern Scadrien. What was in that cookie?
