Yes, but that should be RPed instead of having rapid mindset changes. It doesn’t make much sense to go from blindly following a stranger because she claims to work for your god, to doubting that god’s existence all along, to suddenly deciding that god should have nothing to with children, without showing the journey between those points.

I explained his current religious status when he was chatting with Lesh earlier, but I flesh it out more if its not sitting well with you. Basically drae was a survivorist until he learnt that kell actually survived.

Thanks. So he was a nominal Survivorist who didn’t actually believe in the tenets, who is now having a crisis of faith due to discovering that his religion had some actual validity? Am I getting that right?

Well, Kelsier asked you something... I’ll repeat it though.

Are you mad at me for holding Zola? Kelsier asked Drae pointedly, projecting the words into the man’s head. Or are you angry at me for existing and proving your friends right?

Yep, he's also trying to deal with the emotional baggage that accompanies his religious crisis.

Drae felt his muscles try to pull him into a fetal position, he would not curl up on the ground and embarrass himself....again. get out of my head get out of my head get out of my head you are not real you are dead you are dead you are dead. "What do you want from me?" Drae's voice quivered with paranoia. Had life really gotten to the point where he was questioning his own reality?

You’re the one who wanted to join my crew, Kelsier sent, bemused. And you are one of mine, though an unusual one. Most people don’t follow me under the assumption I’m actually dead.

You don’t need to speak aloud; I can hear you. I DO listen out for my followers. He lightly soothed the other man’s fear and rioted his confidence. So, are you going to answer my question? I am here, obviously. Unless everyone else is sharing this delusion with you.

No, no no no no no. You don't soothe me. I soothe others, others dont soothe me, sonstop it? I didnt know I was asking to join you, Eryn said you were alive, which it turns out you're not, and I got curious; so I followed. Im not angry at you, im just in deniel, is that too much for you to handel?

All right. I won’t soothe you. Kelsier released his brass, but kept the riot going. Drae hadn’t asked not to be rioted, after all. 

I am alive. I’m here, aren’t I? Cognitive beings aren’t dead. You’re not in denial; you’re trying to be and failing badly. I’m trying to help you, Drae. You’re one of mine. Believe me or not, but I DO care for my own.

Do not infest my my mind with half truths. You are dead, I am in denial but not towards your liveliness. I feel obliged to warn you in advance that caring for me will yield fruitless. Whether or not I am yours there is nothing here to care for. "And, there is no need to remind me that I am a failure despite my very best efforts. Ay?"

Why are you really angry at me Drae? Why do you prefer a dead god to a live one? You claimed to follow me when you thought I didn’t exist, but now that you know otherwise you lash out.

I’m not the one who caused your friendship to fall apart. I’m not the one who fled when your friends were taken. I am not responsible for your choices.

So tell me Drae, who are you truly angry at?

Gently, Kelsier rioted the other man’s guilt, allowing the confidence he’d instilled to fade.

Some are, some aren’t. You’ll have to ask Ene about playing Saze though.

“Sovereign as responsible as Marie,” Eryn noted. “Not just to arrest her and not Sovereign.”

”Can you arrest someone if a crime wasn’t committed,” Kelsier wondered idly, rolling a coin over and under his fingers.

Just to note, Kell would let you arrest him. He finds the idea amusing.

Amusingly, she'd probably also let you arrest her, then use her powers/immortality/years of existence to freak everyone out. Yay psychological torture!

"What, you don't hear voices in your head?" Marie raised an eyebrow at Adilie, a razor-edged grin sprawled across her face. "Maybe one of these days you'll hear mine. Or your own, screaming sweeter than a songbird. It's not as good as fresh screams, but if it's all you've got..." Her teeth were clenched into a rictus.

Val blinks, slowly rousing herself from her sleeping spot in the rafters of the church. She'd chosen it because if she climbed up a bit then she could see out one of the windows that gave a good view of some of the town. Did I fall asleep again? I did, didn't I... She focuses on the voices below her for a second. From the talk of screams that sounds like Marie. Welp. Here we go. Standing she looks down, Lets not land on someone, and lets try to not break any bones. Val steps off the beam and falls to the floor, rolling when she hits the ground to make sure she doesn't break anything.

Popping back up to her feet she looks at the group, "Well hello there, thought I'd drop in." A pause, "Nope, no more puns from me. That was horrible."

Adilie would have steeled herself, but that would have been a very bad joke so she just stilled herself. "Like you didn't know the answer to that one" she said, unconsciously touching her hearing "And since when does songbrids screams? Wait, actually I don't want to know"

Kelsier: I didn’t complain about you being manipulative - which you’re really bad at, by the way. Remind me to give you some tips. I was complaining about the mind control. Convincing people the old fashioned way is perfectly fine.

Kelsier raised a brow. “You’re not the Kandra that was here earlier. Saze decide one wasn’t enough? Remind me to have words with him regarding his servants in my churches.” Not that he minded, exactly. But it would be nice if Saze asked.

Eryn’s eyes narrowed as she scanned the new comer. “Good jump.”

Quote

Kelsier is oddly possessive about this. Though, to be fair, he doesn’t pretend to be a Pathian (if people mistake him for one that’s their business). He usually claims to be a ‘member of the church of the Survivor’ which is technically accurate.

The entire church is in the bubble, pretty much. It’s a perfect sphere containing the whole inner area.

@Blessing of Potency

Quote

Originally the bubble was only large enough to contain Eryn, Kell, Zola, and Ermin. Then people outside the bubble started interacting with the people in it, so it has since been retconned to cover the whole main area of the church.
