Oh, Preservation's rusted wings. "Are you supposed to do those with no warning?" she spat. It had been a while...there'd been hugs between Inquisitors as comrades, right? She thought? Or maybe she really hadn't, not since she told her mother goodbye before getting on the Ministry ship...

But she only said, "I hope it's not another one of those. Tell me you and yours are killing God again instead...?"

Kelsier shook his head, laughing. “As a general rule, I’ve found hugging a woman without her consent a good way to get slapped. No, this is a gift, assuming you’re willing to take it.”

Condensation she/her Posted April 12, 2021 Posted April 12, 2021 18 hours ago, AonEne said: Marie made a faint scoffing noise. A victim. Bah. The traitor had said as much to her himself a few times over the years, mixed among pleas for her to please stop worshiping Ruin and be a tame Inquisitor. She could remember the hated spark of pity in his voice as well as the order of the seasons. But before she could reply to Kelsier, the girl attacked. Marie was so surprised (stupid of her, but she really hadn't expected the Survivor to use the child in such a late play) that Zola was able to get her in a hold, and dropped something in her hood. The hold was fairly bad; she suspected the girl had planned it on her own, without guidance on where to position herself to take down a Steel Inquisitor - or anyone, really. It was just her two arms thrown around her midsection. Marie easily hooked Zola's wrists and broke the hold, stepping swiftly back while ducking under her own arms and maneuvering the small Tineye's hands up and over. In a second Marie held her attacker's wrists in front of her; she shot a glance at the Survivor and released the girl, then skittered another couple steps backward. She hadn't burned pewter, so Zola shouldn't have been badly hurt. Rusts, rusts, rust and rusting Ruin, it was a good thing Zola hadn't asked her caretakers for tips on fighting Marie, or she might have been able to pull out an eyespike and distract her long enough to get the linchpin too. Maybe the Survivor had intended for this to be practice for her? Simply sending the kid against an Inquisitor seemed like a rather harsh first lesson, but then he and that Mistborn of his had ventured into Kredik Shaw before he was a Fullborn or had the duralumin to take control. Marie shook her head involuntarily, thinking it. Still sounded like an idea likely to get you killed. She dropped a coin, but didn't Push off yet. As before, if he wanted her dead she would be, unless Harmony deigned to stop him. And she could fight off a Tineye any day. So was this a message? A humiliation? Never taking her eyespikes off either of the two, she fished in her hood for a moment for the dropped item. It felt like very thin paper wrapping something conical, but it had a slight line pointing to it. The weight wasn't right for it to be metal, though. Zola pouted. "I just wanted to give you a hug."

Kelsier laid a fond hand on her shoulder. “It’s okay, Princess. Marie just isn’t used to being hugged. Maybe she could use another one - with warning, this time.”
AonEne he/him Posted April 13, 2021 Posted April 13, 2021 Quote Hi Tani! We don't have any specific role that needs to be filled other than the fact that our characters are a hilarious religious mishmash and a couple of gods so you could play off of that, we've got Survivorists and Pathians and a God Beyond believer and I think someone was gonna be a Sliverist but they haven't shown up yet? anyway it's fun and you can use whatever Misting, Ferring, Twinborn, theoretically a spiked person but the backstory would have to be good, etc. "Nope," Marie said immediately. "Absolutely not. Try that again and I will -" Remove your hands from your body was what she wanted to say, but the girl's guardians - and was it fair when she wasn't trying to hurt Marie? (Was that a Soothing, the back of her mind whispered [she didn't think so, but she knew very well how much she could trust her own judgments when it came to emotional Allomancy], and she grit her teeth.) "And I'll run away." She controlled a flinch at how it sounded, but had to admit to herself that it was true. "What's the gift?" @Kingsdaughter613 @Condensation

Unlike most maps, which showed only the basin and some surrounding areas, this one showed the entire globe. “There are islands,” Kelsier explained, pointing, “far out in the ocean. They’re volcanic, and some are pretty active. It’s one of the only places on Scadrial that feels like home. ”And it’s the only place where anteverdant plants still grow.” Quote Kelsier saying the volcanic islands feel like home is a Freudian slip.

We still have those? Those are still in the world? She took the map cautiously, staring down at it for a moment. She knew how large the world was; that didn't surprise her. And she knew of the South. But still, there were so many details in the landscape that she hadn't really thought of before. The idea that there were islands with conditions that allowed anteverdant flora...volcanic, that made sense. They would have to be, the andisols would be most like the soil of her youth. There might be flatcinders, old rosemary and lavender, tapete caligo moss... She made a sound deep in her throat and looked up at Kelsier. He'd even made sure the inks used in the map had enough metal to be visible to her. "I - thank you. Thank you." She shook her head. It hurt her almost physically to do this, but - "I'm still not going with you, though." What if he wanted it back? Could she outfly him to get away? Maybe if she extinguished all her metals...

He nodded. “I know,” he said softly. “I’m not asking you to. This is a gift, Marie. Just take care of the plants, alright?” He smiled ruefully. “I’ve done my best, but it turn out gardening really isn’t one of my talents.“
