She elbowed him really hard in the side. "I warned you."
Goob he/him Posted February 11, 2021 Posted February 11, 2021 Don't panic, okay? Just because there is no internet, no modern music, barely any plumbing, and all sorts of other modern technology, doesn't mean you can't enjoy your time here right? Just don't think about it... "Did any of you hear my comment on the plot...?"

Or, if it's past that, I'm going to tell him about Paalm being the mayor. Or, if it's past that, I'm going to inform him about the whole Kelsier/Sovereign situation." She paused. "If it's past all of that, I'll tell him about Adonalsium and Hoid."

I mean, this is all a dream, so it really doesn’t matter, but it seems like most of those things work themselves out in the books. And I doubt he’d believe you about Adonalsium and Hoid.” Quote Should we decide who RPs the actual canon characters? I vote we split em up, first come first serve. Dibs on Harmony and Governor Aradel. Although if this is Alloy of Law time, he’s still just a constable-general. So who wants who? Off the top of my head, I think we’ll need a Wax, Wayne, Steris, Marasi, Kelsier, Hoid, Ranette, Bleeder, Miles, and Edwarn Ladrian.

Those seem like perfectly valid assumptions to me. Occam’s Razor, ‘I hit my head too hard in the crash and I’m dreaming’ makes much more sense than ‘maaaaagic’. Frankly, I’m surprised none of you are making the same conclusion. Let’s say you are a real person. What proof have I offered that I’m real? How do you know that you aren’t dreaming, and that I’m an aspect of your imagination?”

Then we can buy new clothes, and blend in a bit better. At least, until we start talking. I don't think any of us have a French accent." She grinned. "But then after that, I agree with you whole-heartedly." She glanced at a newspaper, and grinned. The headline was about the attack on the theater. "Ha! It looks like we are in the Alloy of Law storyline." She grinned. "This is going to be fun!"

Not to bring up the same argument, but none of us should be able to read that. Scadrial has their own language. Brandon ‘translates’ it to English when he writes. If this really is Scadrial, how is that written in English?” Quote We could honestly just ignore this, since it might actually be a bit of a plot hole, but it’s something I would point out if I was actually in this scenario, so I gotta stay true to the character.

The old man turned around, seeming puzzled. “Are you burning bronze?” He noticed his pile of dust with approximately one pinch missing. “Are you burning my bronze?” He gave a slight chuckle. “If you’re planning on stealing allomantic metals from a metallurgist, might want to choose one who isn’t a seeker. It’s all right, I have bronze to spare.” The man noticed what Lilliana was holding. “Rust and Ruin is that pure aluminum? You have enough there to buy as much bronze as you’d like! Why steal a pinch when you have enough to buy enough bronze to last years?”
