“I was told to come here by a voice from my ear. I didn’t know that was possible. How did you do it?” Tondon chatters for a moment, before realizing that he can get some iron and duralumin. “You said I’d be rewarded. I’d like a lot of iron filings, a duraluminmind, a small shield, something that will tell me if I’m close to other people, some more blades, preferably curved so I can hook on to things, some better food and water, some bandages, a rope, and better clothes, in order of importance.”

As Tondon reaches the casino, it begins raining blue spores. He notes that they turn gray when they get near it, and seem to be causing explosions, so he quickly ducks inside the hopefully safe building.

The Hunger Games Chat Thread

Eddie is the only one running the casino, right? Cause Tondon is trying to get in, but @Edema Rue hasn’t posted since I asked. (Something about packing… I think it could be a while. Who else should I ping?) -
Tondon takes them, placing them inside the very safe box full of spores.
-
“Sure.” Tondon hands over the water gun, taking back the knife. He doesn’t really know what he would do with it anyway. When they arrive at the casino, he goes inside or follows the directions he’s given. @Edema Rue
-
I guess Tondon goes to the building in the middle.
-
“Where are you?” Tondon whispers back, “That building in the middle?” @LightRinger@Edema Rue
-
“Was that what we were trying to do? If so it worked pretty well. Thank you for saving me from that vine thing. Can I have my knife back, though?” As the sun starts to come up, Tondon goes to look over where Patrik was sleeping, to see if he’d had anything there. @ΨιτιsτηεΒέsτ After gathering whatever is there, Tondon will ask Jaksyn, “Can you explain to me how these magic lung things work? Also, where did you get your chromium?”
-
Tondon has a spore kit from a box he found in the swamp. Jaksyn borrowed the knife, so that’s the only weapon he has.
-
“But then why does he want them?” Tondon asks, pointing toward Jaksyn. Jaksyn’s clothes rip off his body and start to strangle Patrik. As the fighting breaks out, Tondon looks startled for a moment then sprays water at Patrik, following it up with a single random non-verdant spore. (I rolled a dice and got sunlight, but Jaksyn is lucky enough that light ringer can change it)
-
How much do you know about allomancy and feruchemy? Basically Jaksyn is creating luck using the Mistborn magic systems
-
Tondon looks on, bewildered. “I think there’s plenty of air to go around. Is that the next challenge?”
-
“What do you have?” Tondon calls, jogging over while continuing to unload his water gun at the surrounding area and watching for more angry vine people. “Uh. Stop where you are and we can talk?”
-
Jaksyn, torn between saving Tondon and killing Patrik, grabs the knife Tondon dropped and slashes at the vine creature before running after Patrik. “Gah! Waz abenin?” (I’ve never tried it, but I assume it’s difficult to talk with a murderous vine man up your nose). The silver knife turns the edges of the cuts gray and unmoving. “Tanks! You sabe me.” Tondon sneezes, sending blood and still awakened vines onto his sleeve, but freeing one nostril and making it much easier to talk. “What do you have to *another sneeze* say?” he calls after Patrick, before realizing he should probably be helping. He takes his water gun and sprays it in the general direction of the chase, hoping to activate some spores and cause an obstacle.

The Hunger Games Chat Thread

Where are these mud octopi from anyway? Are they hemlurgic? Trained mistwraiths? Random creatures from second of the sun or something? Genetically modified? From the actual hunger games which I should get around to reading? (I have it on hold from the library) That’s a whole lot of guesses. I probably don’t need all of them, but it’s fine. While I’m posting to the chat thread, I’ll list some character ideas that I wish I’d come up with earlier. (Tondon is great, but he’s not really the type to win this) A koloss a singer (maybe in stormform) A kandra a first of the sun trapper Sadly, I don’t think many of those would be eligible for the next couple hunger games. -
If he’s asleep, Tondon walks over as quietly as he can, looks for weapons, takes them, then puts a knife to ΨιτιsτηεΒέsτ‘s throat, saying, “I’m a Leecher, and you have ten seconds to tell me why… uh… I’m not very good at this. Hey Jaksyn! What are we gonna do with this guy?”
-
Jaksyn (@lightringer) and Tondon (me) have formed an alliance, and we’re now searching for people to kill and/or rob. Your group was proposed by a game master, I believe.

Nice! Those are pretty big fish, at least compared to the ones I've seen. Are you going to cook the halibut? Your profile says you were in Alaska (I was trying to figure out which time zone you'd be awake). I'm in New England, so it's around 2:00 for me. -
"It would be better if I had iron. I feel like I'm missing one of my senses without ironsight. Where'd you get your chromium?" Tondon also looks for other tributes, and continues choking down his vine.

@Edema Rue @Ancient Elantrian Edited 8 hours ago by LightRinger Also, sorry for the 9 hour gap, was literally “gone fishing”. “Hunting. Cool. What’s our plan? Will we like sneak into someone’s camp, or lure them out by pretending one of us is alone, or will we set up an ambush, or…” Tondon suddenly realizes that every single one of those plans requires not talking. Determining that Jaksyn is much more competent than himself, Tondon decides to follow his lead, both in battle plans and snack choices, and begins munching on a vine to try to stay quiet. “These are kinda bland. And bitter. Maybe whoever we attack will have better food.”

The magic system is used in technology. I believe the batteries are made from acclivity stone, as are the GravCaps, lightlances, and other sci-fi technology. Outside the Cosmere, magic doesn't generally follow the laws of thermodynamics. The coppermind might tell you more. Watch out for spoilers though. WoB:
-
He rubs his eyes a bit, then blinks several times, sticking his hand out again. “I’m Tondon.” Regardless of whether or not Jaksyn takes it, Tondon then kneels down to stuff his box with vines and spores, and gets his makeshift weapons belt. “Do you know any knots? I used to think knots were easy but then my vine stick fell apart, so I guess they’re not. Do you know if we can eat these things? I haven’t had anything to eat yet. And I still don’t have iron either.” With or without Jaidyn’s help, he eventually reties his belt. “Ok, where are we going?”
-
“Deal.” Tondon also doesn’t know whether to shake the hand or stand up with it, so he does both, in a slightly awkward gesture.
-
It may have been a theory from the site, rather than a factual statement. I think you have just killed my theory. That being said, even if this isn’t the process in the seethe, it could still be used by dwellers of the spore seas in a fremen (I think that’s how you spell the guys from Dune) like apparatus, which pulls in zephyr and verdant aether to eat and breathe, then condensing the water to drink and activate more aether.
