    “To the far islands, out past the Yomend Sea,” Kelsier told her. “It’s where I live these days. New Luthadel is run entirely by my people. It’s the only place on Scadrial I can guarantee the Earthers won’t be.” @Random Bystander

    Sibling.

    Kelsier laughed. “Good! Because you’re going to be doing a lot of it.” He stood at the edge of the roof, arms outspread, hair billowing like a cloud of mist. “You’re an allomancer now, Rylia. The skies and mists are yours to claim. Own that.”

    Are you hyperlexic? I am, but I don’t know many others who are. Hyperlexics recognize words by shape to a greater degree than neurotypical individuals.

    Visual word form area in the left fusiform gyrus. It correlates to the more famous fusiform face area, which recognizes faces. VWFA is hypothesized to remember written words by their shape. This allows us to recognize words faster. Note that hyperlexic children are noted to have more activity in the VWFA, as opposed to most people who utilize more phonetic areas. I would be interested in learning is this is true for children who learned to read using the whole language method as well as those who learned phonetic reading.

    Nightwatcher.

    You’re right; I’d forgotten about that. I think there’s a WoB about why somewhere, but I don’t recall it.

    Kelsier smirked, tossing another coin below Rylia. “Push off it at an upward-forward angle to keep moving toward me,” he instructed. “Use the streetlamps to help you balance in the air. You can also use them for an additional upward thrust. Pull on the metal in that chimney,” he pointed, “to guide yourself toward that roof.”

    “They do,” Kelsier answered promptly. “It’s the individual object that gets pushed. That’s how a coin shot traditionally attacked: by pushing large numbers of small objects at a target. ”Now,” he instructed, “try pushing yourself forward.”

    Kelsier watched Marie for a moment, then turned his attention back to Zola. “Do you want to prank anyone else?”

    Kelsier nodded. “Iron is the compliment to steel. Where one pushes, the other pulls. Use the two together, and you’ll be able to move through the air as easily as along the ground. ”The thing to remember is to balance the two. Every action has its a consequence. Push on something heavier than you, and you get pushed. Push something lighter, and it does. Same for pulls, but the other way around. Learning to modulate them is the true art of Allomancy. ”Allomancy won’t allow you to flip things around with your mind,” not without a LOT of practice and experience anyway. “It won’t work, because that’s not how the physical world works. Both your pushes and pulls are always going to be moving directly away or toward you. Forces, reactions, consequences, understand?”

    He actually told her not to go with Elend. She decided to go with Elend anyway.

    Kelsier followed her up, smiling. “Good. You’ve got decent strength. Now, you’re going to want to find a piece of metal behind you and push on that AND the one below. It’ll move you forward. ”Do you have iron?”

    I’m pretty sure she was or, at least, had enough of an idea of what they were doing that the GBs THOUGHT she was part of the SoH.

    Marea shrugged. “So don’t. I can’t spy as easily without though.”
  20. Kingsdaughter613
    “You’re the one who said eating corpses was creepy. Are you going to get me one?”
  21. Kingsdaughter613
    He grinned down at her. “No time like the present. There’s a coin on the ground there. Stand on top of it and push. I’ll catch you if you start to over balance.” @Channelknight Fadran “So what’s the issue?” Marea asked blankly.
  22. Kingsdaughter613
    “I’m a Kandra. It’s kind of what we do.”

    “Somewhere safe,” he answered. “I was going to ask my brother to help, but he decided to storm off instead.” The Survivor shook his head in mock annoyance. “So, Rylia, what do you say to a bit of flying?” And he pushed himself into the air.
  24. Kingsdaughter613
    Marea shrugged. “If you get me one of his staff to eat, sure.”
  25. Kingsdaughter613
    Marea smiled brightly. “You mean ‘we’, right? I’m here to help.”
