sanderson's mistborn

[waslucky]

If you're going to sit there and constantly snicker about the whole thing in Alloy of Law about me being a symbol for modern women to defy the societal conventions, I think I'd rather you actually app me into a game.

This way, at least, you'd be kept busy.

[Hi Vin. Have a young girl that looks... well, considering her pallid skin, pockmarked faced, and morose disposition is probably a fright, really.]

Hello. [wave]

That's an interesting journal name you have.

... [blink]

It must have been nice.

[waslucky]

Nice never entered into it.

[lovescompany]

Oh.

...

Well, I wouldn't know.

[Her total accumulated luck can fit in the dimple of a golf ball.]

[waslucky]

Few would, I think.

[godsays]

Of course the world would remember you.

[waslucky]

Maybe there's a reason for that.

[godsays]

Because you're the hero.

[waslucky]

No, that's not it... I never set out to be.

[godsays]

Does that matter? I didn't set out to die.

[ Though that's not entirely true, is it. ]

[waslucky]

No. [Words had always been Elend's thing, while Vin's was action.] No... but actions matter.

[godsays]

They're not all that matters.

[waslucky]

No, not all, but they are important.

[People can say anything, but that doesn't mean its true. The force behind the words, the intent, the actions, need to be there too.

And sometimes, words are lies too, even the ones that hurt the most.]

[godsays]

I was more than what I did for Straff.

[ He was what he did for himself, too - but more than that.

Mistborn is something beautiful. He believes that. Better than everyone else. ]

[waslucky]

[She had believed- but then again, what she had believed had changed. First, then she met Kelsier, and after...]

You could have been a lot more.

[godsays]

You think I don't know that?

[waslucky]

[Frowns.] With you, it's hard to know.

[godsays]

I knew what you were thinking most of the time.

Except the end

[elend]

Vin.

You're engaging in philosophical social commentary, and you didn't think you should invite me? I don't know whether to be delighted or offended.

[waslucky]

I'm not engaging in anything.

At least, not on purpose.

[elend]

[ You can't take this good humour away from him, Vin. ]

Accidental philosophical musings are even better! Soon there'll be theory involved. I'm certainly looking forward to that.

[waslucky]

In that case, the moment's passed, and you missed it.

[elend]

Now, see, it doesn’t have to be that way. For instance, imagine the influence you could have if you really were sent somewhere permanently. This wouldn’t have to be the end of anything, in that case.

[waslucky]

I don't think my pant wearing ways would influence many, given most find wearing pants normal.

[But-] Most places seem to have green plants...

[elend]

I like how you look in dresses. [ And in pants. And in...almost anything. He's possibly biased.

That last comment has him narrowing his eyes, though. ]

Green, like your picture? Then it's really possible. [ A pause. ] I can't imagine how that would look. Strange, I think. [ He's never really given himself time to think about it. It always seemed so impossible. ]

[waslucky]

They're not as bad as I once thought they were. [Okay. So that's putting it mildly. She likes dresses, a lot. But she also likes her pants.]

That's what my mun tells me. Everything is green. The grass, the plants, the trees, and flowers...

[elend]

And the rest? Blue skies, no more ash? You’re talking about Kelsier’s world. [ The Church of the Survivor would love this. Of course, they’ve believed in it all along. ]

[waslucky]

Kelsier and Mare's.

Wouldn't you like to see it though?

[elend]

[ He pauses, thoughtful. ]

More than you know. But I would worry, always, about what I was leaving behind.

[waslucky]

My mun says we could possibly come from different times- although she hasn't really made up her mind when she would take me from.

[elend]

Mine has several points in mind, all the time. Indecision, I'd call it. She favours the very end. I'm not sure what I think about that. There'd be worse times, I'm sure.
