Zephrun’s Imperium

Thought froze when the kandra pointer her gun at her. When the other man dropped down toward her, she paled, stepping back. Storms. She had left her dueling cane in the room. But... she did have her gun on her.

Thought landed gracefully in the alley and turned to watch the portal close behind her. Without AJ. She blinked. Swallowed. She felt nervous. All was still.

Thought, used to this by now, jumped through the portal.

I have so many of those... The Crew: *talking among themselves* Kelsier: Were you guys talking about me? Dockson: Nope. Kelsier: Okay, then let’s start this meeting. Ham: Um, we were kind of in the middle of an important discussion. Kelsier: That makes no sense. You just said that you weren't talking about me. Spook: What is that, Kelsier? Kelsier: Oh, that? That's a portrait of me. Spook: Oh... I thought it was a mistwraith. Kelsier: ...it's.... abstract art... Spook: Okay. Kelsier: Marsh?! Marsh: Yeah? Kelsier: Got any doritos? Marsh: ... What? Kelsier: I have appeared to you, oh loyal skaa, for I have made a great discovery. Skaa Worshiper: Will it help us save the world, Lord Survivor? Kelsier: No, but it will help you enjoy these last days. Skaa: What is it? Kelsier: Video games that you don't have the electricity to use. Kelsier: Naaatza venya yamahezema ho!! (Lion King opening) Marsh: What are you doing? Kelsier: Chanting. Marsh: ...Why? Kelsier: Why not? Marsh: *sitting at a desk* Kelsier: *pokes his shoulder* Marsh. Marsh. Marsh. Marshy. Marshal. Marsh. Marsh. Marsh. Marsh. Marsh. Marsh. Ma- Marsh: *throws down his pen* SHUT UP! Kelsier: Kelsier: It's not funny, Ruin, what you do to him. He's practically crippled now! Ruin: I know! That's why it's so fun! Fuzz: Kelsier: Alright, put 'em up, buddy. "Finally, someone near the back of the room spoke. 'You're a fool,' the man said." Me: DO YOU KNOW TO WHOM YOU SPEAK, SKAA?! "'The Lord Ruler will kill you. You don't rebel against God in his own city.' The room fell silent. Tense. Vin sat up as Breeze whispered to himself. In the room, Kelsier stood quietly for a moment." Me: Time to pull out the big guns... "Finally, he reached up and pulled back the sleeves on his jacket, revealing the crisscrossed scars on his arms." Me: Who's the fool now?! "'The Lord Ruler is not out god,' he said quietly." Me: That’s right! You are. "'And he cannot kill me. He tried, but he failed. For I am the thing that he can never kill.'" Me: SURVIVAAA!!!!! "With that, Kelsier turned, walking from the room the way he had come." Me: Mic drop. Eat that.

Someone should mention Thought or AJ on TLT and we'll mention Butt on Fallen.

Oooo. I have a tin story. Imagine this. You're a mistborn. Prowling through the streets of Luthadel, walking in the mists. All of a sudden, you hear a noise and you flare tin as high as you can. Carefully, you creep into the alley, bare feet picking up the texture of the stone. You turn your head to see where the noise originated. And step on a pin. If you've ever stepped on a pin barefoot before, you know it hurts. I've done it twice. On the same foot.

"Want me for-" The door burst open. Thought whirled around. She paused. "You. I remember you."

"And what good would staying on do? You haven't shown me any reason why I should listen to you."

"And why would that be?"

"Hang up," Thought said to AJ.

"I don't like it either, but there's not much we can do about it at the moment."

"We've heard of you. What do you want with me?"

"A name," Thought said, angered. "I want your name."

Thought glared. "Consider my interest piqued. Tell me who you are."

"Yes, well, what does it say that I can't remember you at all?"

"I'm having trouble remembering anything at the moment, so please, humor me."

"Whoever you are, I'm not interested in you. Leave us alone or tell us what you want."

"Quit being coy. You know what I mean."

"So you know my name? Lovely. What do you want?"

"Who are you?" Thought asked.
