Player Name: Samm

[ Well.

This. This hurts a lot.

Elend thought that laying there while his blood left him slowly while his wife battled the instinct to use the power to heal him instead of save the world was painful enough. It had been right, though. Release the power at the Well, defeat the Deepness, save all the people.

He's vaguely aware that salt could explain why he hurts so much, but when one is bleeding out - almost dead - from a gut wound, he's not really placing the extra dampness as water.

Anyone want to help him? He's got a weird bandage - a cloak that seems to be mostly tassels - that is very clearly stained through. And lets not even start talking about his sootstained white uniform.

But oddly enough, he doesn't really look like he's bleeding out, in terms of skin color. ]

[redcladidealist]

Well, yeah, I like red, and I think the buttons look neat.

[He still sounds a little dazed and confused, and asking strange questions, but considering his circumstances, it's understandable. Lloyd follows his line of sight up to the bubble.]

Oh, that? We're underwater. Those are just fish and things that live in the ocean around us. [A blink.] What green things?

[white_emperor]

Those green things. [ Yes. He's looking at the flowers and grass. ]

But- I'm not in- [ Give him a moment to get his words. ]

Obviously I'm not in Kredic Shaw any longer, but ... the Final Empire? Luthadel? Or someone else entirely because you are wearing metal...

[redcladidealist]

[What. No, really, what? Again, Lloyd tries to spot what Elend is looking at, but all he sees is...

But that's...]

You've... never seen grass before?

[He shakes his head, partly in response to the man's questions, partly to shake off his own distractedness. Right, he's new. Lloyd should probably explain a few things.]

You're not in your world anymore. This is Vatheon. It's kind of... between all the other worlds, I guess. I'm not sure I can explain it very well. I'm not from here, either. But no one's figured out how to go back, at least not that we know about, so you might be stuck here for a while.

What's wrong with wearing metal?

[white_emperor]

Nothing of that color, if that is what grass is.

[ A blink at that explanation. ]

So I shouldn't panic that the people that should be around are most definitely not?

Because a Misting or Mistborn could kill you with it. That's why what looks like metal on me is really wood. But that probably isn't a problem for you, because my lack of knowledge about those fascinating green things and your reaction means you aren't from my.. ah, world.

[redcladidealist]

What color are the things that grow in your world, then?

[Because Lloyd is having a hard time grasping the idea of a world without grass or trees.]

No, you shouldn't. They're probably all still back in your world. My friends told me time gets stopped in your world, too, so nothing happens until you go back. [He scratches the back of his neck.] I don't have proof, and I don't know how it works. That's just what they said. I'm not sure if it's really true.

[His brow furrows into uncertain skepticism.]

...they could kill me with my buttons? How would they do that?

[white_emperor]

Brown. Lots of brown. Or black - and dead.

[ He listens, and thinks that over. Well, it would stop Vin from leveling the city in looking for him. ]

.. Nothing happens. Does than mean I don't die, or I come back as I am here - if or when I go back.

Coins, buttons, swords - All that matters is that its metal. They can Push or Pull it, and you don't really want to be in the way of anything moving either direction.

[redcladidealist]

But- How can anyone live if nothing grows in your world?

[The concept boggles him.]

What do you eat?

I don't know if your'e healed when you go back. Maybe? It would make sense if you got healed and were okay only to get un-healed when you go back.

[...he gets the feeling he's missing something here.]

But they could push or pull other things, too. I mean, I could push wood or stone just the same as metal. Why'd metal so bad?

[white_emperor]

Things grow, just nothing green, and we eat those. And bread, made from those not-green things. Are you trying to say you eat grass?

To preserve what happened then? I think that makes sense...

Because they can only Push or Pull on metal. [ Wait. ]

I don't mean with their hands. With Allomancy, they Push [ and he's trying to make that P for Push be noticeable ] on metals, and smaller metal moves.

[ Speaking of metals, Elend is actually running low on pewter, but he hasn't realized he's Burning it yet. Or maybe how to tell he's running low... Just studying the coral under his hand with new appreciation. ]

[redcladidealist]

Maybe not grass, but there's green vegetables, like cucumbers and brocolli and green beans. I don't always like vegetables, but even I know they're important.

I don't get it...

[But he's trying, at least, to understand. Trying to put the pieces of what Elend is telling him together with his own experience. He doesn't pick up on that capital letter, though he does hear the emphasis.]

I've never heard of Alluminancy. Is that like using mana?

[He doesn't realize anything is wrong besides the obvious, and he thinks that's being taken care of so long as Elend keeps his hand on the coral.]

[white_emperor]

We eat plants, but they are brown. [ Elend looks up at the bubble then back at the green things. ] maybe it has to do with the light- I don't see the sun, but its obviously not red.

No, no - I have no idea what this mana is you're talking about - but not alluminancy, Allomancy. Like alloy - the magic of metals, perhaps.
