  1. Verre "Everyone!" Jala said rather happily. "But we might not have enough.glitter for that... I don't care who we glitter bomb, anyone will be awesome!" Verre grinned. "How about Danosaur? I haven't seen him lately. No, what about that stinky person who thinks that he's a skaa?"
  2. Before Vin knew she was a Mistborn, she was already burning trace metals and using emotional allomancy on people. I'd imagine that Rashek told the first generation of lerasium Mistborns how allomancy worked, and the knowledge spread from there.
  3. Verre Verre glanced down at the bag that she was holding. She stared at its contents for a moment, mesmerized by the way it caught the light, then drew it closed. She didn't want anybody else seeing what was in it. Not now, at least. Verre peered around the corner. The alleyway looked clear, but there were multiple nooks and crannies where potential witnesses could be lurking. Rusts. If Verre was a tineye, she could quickly burn tin and see if other people were here. Problem was that Verre wasn't a tineye, and she didn't know any tineyes who would be sympathetic to her cause. Even Kae had refused to help her. So now Verre had no choice but to sneak across the city, in plain daylight, to recruit her partner-in-crime for this mission. Verre darted through the alleyway, bag in tow, up to the intersection. She looked both ways, then ran to the next intersection. A pinch of shining dust fluttered out of her bag and marked the path that she'd taken, giving the dreary city an otherworldly look. If Verre had looked back, she would have seen a hint of the Survivor in the silvery trail that she left. But she didn't look back, so she missed it. Footsteps. Verre scrambled into the shadows and hoped she hadn't been seen or heard.The footsteps came closer, accompanied by the sound of laughter. Then two people, walking side-by-side, came into view. Verre clutched the bag and tried not to breathe as the pair walked past her. When they reached the end of the alleyway, Verre emerged from the shadows and ran. Finally, she reached her destination. Verre stepped into the safety of the purple doorway and caught her breath. Sprinting through the city was much more exhausting than she'd thought, especially since she'd had to take the long way to avoid other people. But the mission was worth it. It had to be. Now for the final test: recruiting Jala Ghetti. Verre knocked on the door. "Jala!" she called out. "I have some glitter." She raised the bag that she'd carried all the way across the city in triumph. "Who do you want to glitter bomb today?"
  4. "Um, while we wait for Ena to find us something, what was it you wanted to talk to Dr. Lestibournes about?" Len asked. He was clearly trying to switch the topic to anything other than NeLaar's dietary habits. NeLaar cast his mind back to his musings on the spinney chair. "Why's this guild called an "Abundance"? There's only three people in it, four if you count Kevin."
  5. The eliminators killed Mailliw N1, Kynedath N2, and Wonko N3. Mailliw had Allomantic steel/Feruchemical nicrosil, Kyn had Allomantic tin/Feruchemical electrum, and Wonko had Allomantic nicrosil/Feruchemical tin. These kills seem rather suspicious. How did the eliminators manage to hit so many people with useful powers? Either they were very lucky, or everybody has a useful power, or the eliminators knew people's roles through something like bronze. Does anybody here know where Mail and Kyn were when they died? It's likely that the eliminators have their kill in their first action period so if they die like Hael did, the kill still goes through. If someone here knows where people were when they died, we can have an idea of who killed them. Who was in a PM with Mail? He said that he had one with Deathclutch, which could explain his death, but he might have made more.
  6. Verre "I don't think Kwon would mind if you took his, er, shines," Verre said. "Seeing as he offered to make you some before he died." Verre sighed. With Kwon dead -- killed by a nail driven through his heart, according to gossip -- there was no one to supply people with metal. Verre still had five vials left, but once these were gone, she wouldn't be able to get any more. Strange how the dead were just a number now, defined by the loss of their usefulness rather than the loss of a human life. It was easier to think of them that way. Almost. Just almost.
  7. Voidus, your lawyer is here! To qualify as libel, Kaymyth's statement must fulfill three requirements. It must be published, it must be presented as fact, and it must be seriously damaging to one's reputation. Claim: I do not dwell in the Dark Alley. I come from a magical land of sunshine, rainbows, and highly inappropriate card games. 1) This statement has clearly been published in a public forum. 2) This statement is presented as fact. Kaymyth makes a disctinction between the Dark Alley and a magical land of sunshine, rainbows, and highly inappropriate card games, and makes it clear that these are two separate things. 3) This statement is highly damaging to the Dark Alley's reputation. As a cookie vendor, the Dark Alley relies on its reputation to sell its cookies to unwilling victims willing customers. If people avoid the Dark Alley because it is not a magical land of sunshine, rainbows, and card games, it will go bankrupt. Kaymyth's statement filfills the three requirements of being libel. But wait! Truth is an absolute defense against libel, regardless of how much a statement may fit the three requirements of libel. Let's see how Kaymyth's claim stacks against the truth. 1) Kaymyth does not dwell in the Dark Alley. True. 2) Kaymyth comes from a magical land of sunshine. True. 3) Kaymyth comes from a magical land of rainbows. True. 4) Kaymyth comes from a magical land of highly inappropriate card games. Questionable, but will be taken as true. After looking at all the evidence, Kaymyth's statement is not libel. Sorry Voidus. Feel free to sue, but you'll lose.
  8. "Would a, um... Tay-rss restaurant have... something... for you?" Len asked. He plastered a smile onto his face, but it looked forced. Maybe mentioning the raw pork hadn't been a good idea. Who knew what myths and mangled half-truths the current Scadrian populace had heard about kandra? "That'll be fine," NeLaar said. "I can eat anything that a normal human will eat."
  9. Your body isn't adjusted to a 25 hour day. You sleep earlier and earlier each day, and wake up earlier and earlier. You are eventually completely out of sync with the new 25-hour clock. I wish that my sneaker wish hadn't been broken.
