Kingsdaughter613 she/her Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 Kelsier activated the allomantic engine, then put a speed bubble around the boat. It was centered on himself, which always took concentration. The saved time was worth it though. After several relative hours had passed, he finally reached the canal leading to Elendel. Happily, he left the boat, then tapped speed, racing across the misty landscape.
Random Bystander she/her Posted March 16, 2021 Author Posted March 16, 2021 Lilliana really wanted to get up and pace, but she knew that wouldn't be appropriate in the current situation. She wished she had something to fidget with, but she didn't. So she sat at the table, hoping that something interesting would happen soon.

The four Ghostbloods finished their lunch and returned to work, when they were interrupted by a sharp, rhythmic tapping on the station’s door. Arcane hurried over, open the door with wariness that quickly changed to relief. “Master Thaidakar,” the Sandmaster cried delightedly.

I wonder what happened with the guy who killed me. Wow. That sentence was weird.
Trutharchivist he/him Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 Hoblim finished solving the cube, and found that his stress didn't ease. He eyed the books in Lilliana's bag - but no, this was going a little to far for him. He tried to find another way to distract himself, though he knew the only thing that'll work was reading a book. In the end he just sighed, took a new page out of his nylon case and started writing things on it.

It's so weird. This is by far the weirdest day of my... What is it? Life? But I died... Existence? I don't even know anymore.

He smiled. “Your assassin left you a little gift,” he raised the spike, “his Connection to the Physical Realm.” Kelsier smirked. “Seeing as he took yours, I thought it only fair that you got his.”

That's... Bendalloy? Wait no. Duralumin. She rubbed her forehead where the bullet had hit without thinking about it. "Okay."

Are you sure that’s what you want?”

He sighed and nodded. “Stay still,” Kelsier warned. “This isn’t going to be fun.” Then he slammed the spike through her eye socket, shattering the back of the orbit and driving the point deep into her cranial cavity. He could feel her change as he did so, becoming more there; more solid. He made a mental note to go over those notes one of Iyatil’s people had stolen from Ishar, back before they’d lost contact.

And disorienting.

She said, feeling slightly overwhelmed. Wow. In the last 24 hours, I got transported to another world, found out I'm a Seeker, met a few really awesome people, died, became a Cognitive Shadow, and got my soul stapled to my body with a Hemalurgic spike. She blinked, trying to get her eye to fully adjust. What is this?! A bad fantasy novel? How did all of that happen in such a short amount of time?!

Quote Umm... I'm sorry to interfere, but I was sure that Kell's spike was steel, and that this was why he could see steel lines.

So it definitely isn’t steel or Iron. My working theory is that his spike is Atium. And that since Iron/Steel lines are spiritual, any spike in the eye allows you to see those lines. It’s the only thing that makes sense. Based on what we know of Hemalurgy, Kell’s spike has to be either Duralumin or Atium to do what it does. @Random Bystander Kelsier took her hand, then swung her on to his back. “Close your left eye,” he warned. “Otherwise you’ll get dizzy and I’d rather you didn’t throw up on me.” Edited March 16, 2021 by Kingsdaughter613

He held her until they reached the boat. “Drop here,” he instructed.
