"Both are fine. Thank you!" she beamed at him happily, mostly a mixture of excitement that she was an allomancer, and relief that the aluminum cost a lot of money.

The man grabbed a few sheets of brass from under the counter and handed them over. “You kids take care.”

"Thank you! Will do!" she left the shop. "Next stop, Ladrian Mansion!"

"Uh... maybe not? How do we know that this is during the plot? It would be very awkward if we go and ask for a Wax, and he's either not born, a child, in the roughs, or dead."

"I saw a headline outlining the theater robbery on a broadsheet. Seems like conclusive proof to me."

"Onward then! Let's find the... what was it... the 4th Octant?" She picked a direction, and started walking. She was looking for a vendor with a map.  She found one after a few minutes of searching. "Excuse me, how much for a map?"

"2 boxings."

They exchanged the boxings for the map, and she was able to figure out where they needed to go. "Okay. Let's walk this way. We aren't that far."

I may or may not be looking at the Elendel map right now...

As we walk, I try out the brass plates, slowly storing heat faster and faster to see if there was a limit on how cold I could get.

Small problem- the coppermind doesn't say if the heat resistance it gives you also goes the other way to coldness. Should I just assume it does?

Sure.

Also, who wants to play Wax? This is right after his meeting with the Harms family, and right before Wayne leaves. 

"I think this is it." She watched as a man and two women left the building and got into a coach. "Huh. I think that was Marasi, Steris, and Lord Harms."

Evan stopped at the front of the gate and looked back. They weren't there. Great, just great, I'll meet them after I figure out if I'm a feruchemist or not, wait, there's a problem, I don't know where to meet up with them, didn’t one say they wanted to meet Wax? He would meet up with them at the Ladrian mansion. Finally, Evan walked through the gate.

"Maybe? If we are, then just until they leave. We still want to catch Wayne before he leaves."

Is anyone willing to RP Wax? I don't think I'd do a good job RPing him, but I can if no one else wants to.

Okay... I guess I'll do it then, unless someone else wants to before we start talking to Wax.

Lilliana waited until the coach drove away, and then went up to the front door and knocked. She then remembered that they were still in Earth clothes. "Oh dang. We forgot to get different clothing." After a moment, the door was answered by who she assumed was the butler. He looked them over, confused. 

"Can I help you?" He said, a bit warily.

"Yes. We would like to speak to Lord Ladrian."

He stared at them for a minute, and then went inside, shutting the door behind him.

"I wonder if he will actually come back."

Does anyone think they could do Grandma? I don't think I could, I'm not nice enough. 

Evan wandered around a while before just asking where the head of the village was. "Oh, it's over that way." Evan thanked the man, "Thank you," and left.

I could try. I'm not guaranteeing that I'll do a good job, but I'll try.

Okay. I'm fairly impatient, and I'm tired of waiting, so I'll just do the RP scene with Wax. If anyone wants to take over Wax at any point, just ask. Also, I'm going to assume that the vast majority of you followed Lilliana (the impulsive ADHD kid) and are waiting for the butler to return.

After a few minutes of waiting, the Butler came back. "Lord Waxillium will see you now." He sounded a bit confused and frustrated.

Lilliana nodded to him, and went inside without looking to see if anyone followed her. She was extremely excited. She went into the room the butler indicated, and saw Wax and Wayne. The butler closed the door. Okay, I'm in. Now what. What to say... I really should have planned this before I came in. Oops. Whatever. I'll make it up as I go. 

Before she was able to say anything, Wayne spoke. "Oi. Who're you?" 

She took a breath, and started to speak. "Hi. I'm Lilliana, and me and my friends have some..." how to put it? "...Interesting information for both of you."

Wax frowned. "What kind of information?"

The informative kind. "Uh, you might want to sit down for this." neither sat down. Lilliana sighed. "How do I put this... Okay, so there is a lot of information, so bear with me." 

"Mate," Wayne said to Wax. "I think these kids might be crazy." 

Lilliana shot him a glare. "Okay. So, I think I should start with the robberies. So first of all, the robberies are being carried out by someone you've worked with in the past. Miles Dagouter. He is currently in charge of the Vanishers. Next, your Uncle is still alive, and so is your sister. They are both part of an organization known as the Set. They are employing Miles to kidnap women with allomantic powers, or family with allomantic powers for reasons I don't really want to talk about if I can't help it." She looked at the two confused men. "Any questions? No? Okay." She grinned. "You aren't going to believe the next few things I say, but I don't care." She took another deep breath. "So... you know how there are two metallic arts? Well there's actually three. Um, the Survivor died, became what is known as a Cognitive Shadow, and basically came back to life. There is this guy named Hoid who keeps moving between worlds, and he is... Well... He's just Hoid. Uh... Oh yeah! Your butler is working for your non-dead uncle, and will be instructed to assassinate you at some point." She paused Should I tell him about Lessie? No. Bad idea. REALLY bad idea. She turned around. "Am I missing anything important?"

I practically choke as she spits all this ridiculous-sounding information. At best, we're going to be ignored and humiliated by the main characters, and at worst thrown into an insane asylum!
Nearly unintelligibly, I choke out a sentence: "I-i p-promise it's real... uh..."

"Oh yeah! I have proof for some of that!" She dug through her bag. "So, you should know, we are from another world ourselves. It's called Earth." She pulled out Arcanum Unbounded from her bag, along with her phone and a granola bar. "So, you here on Scadrial don't have stuff like Ramen or Granola bars, Phones or Computers, Magazines or books like these." She grinned, pushing the book to Wax. She paused. "Can you read that? I don't know if is in the wrong language..."

Wax took the book, confused. "Yes, I can read it. But where is this proof of yours?"

"Open the book, and look for Mistborn: Secret History. It gives you a fairly detailed account of what the Survivor was doing between the time of his death, and the Catacendre." She was extremely cheerful.

Wax flipped through the book until he found Secret History. He started reading. After a few minutes he looked up. "How did you get this?"

Lilliana grinned "From Amazon. Those are actually pretty common on our world." She looked at Wax. "Unfortunately, we don't know how to get back to our world, so once you are done I'll be needing that back." She put the granola bar and phone back into her bag.

This isn't actually inaccurate. I always carry 1-2 cosmere books with me when I am out of the house.

Oh, and I forgot to mention earlier, our powers would be way stronger than the powers of the other people. Like, Elend Venture powerful. And I think the Feruchemists would be able to store more into their metalminds, and work with less pure metals if they had to.

Well, that was fortunate. "Uh... sorry if we give you a existential crisis... hehe."
