1 - I set these words in steel, for anything not set in metal cannot be trusted

[white_emperor]

[ Nighttime isn't quite going to be quiet tonight. Elend is new here - and quite new to this style of world as well. ]

I know she said that it was wrong, but this is somewhat insane. No mists - although that great shining thing up there might be burning them away - and all of those - Stars, is that what they are? And no ash!

[ Elend spins in place, staring at the sky, before turning to the nearest person who has come to see what all his noise is about. ]

I've never managed to see the stars before, I'm no Tineye, or Mistborn, so I could never see through the clouds. Are clear nights common? [ But, in the face of all these new things, he is already distracted from his questions and turning to look at the ground - and the plants. ]

Are they this color because its dark? Or are they always.... green?

Don't you have anything normal in your world? Y'know, punk rock, fastfood places, even sports?

[ Nevermind the fact he doesn't even know what mistwraiths means.. ]

[white_emperor]

....

[ Does this confused expression answer everything? ]

[tsunball]

[ .. Oh god, he can't believe this. This guy doesn't know any of those things?! ]

What kind of miserable world do you live in?! Dude, living without those things is just sick! [ He's not sure if he feels sorry for the guy or whether he's just really shocked something like that exists, honestly.. ]

[white_emperor]

I think the only thing close to sports... if I'm guessing the meaning correctly, would be dancing and the Allomantic Spikeways - although I am not an Allomancer [ So he thinks. ], but Vin said they were enjoyable once she got the pattern of them down.

The only 'fast' food I can think of comes in cans, but that's really only for storage...

[ Try quasi-medieval. Accurate surgery, canneries, but that is about as advanced as they are. ]

... and I have no idea what "punk rock" is supposed to be.

[tsunball]

[ .. Fast food in.. cans..? Allomancers..? No punk rock at all?! He's not sure if he should just be weirded out here or just extremely confused, honestly. ]

Punk rock is music! You know what music is, right?!

[white_emperor]

Balls have music.

[ He's making you very uncomfortable, isn't he. ]

[tsunball]

[ Talk of balls always makes Leon uncomfortable. It's a long story. ]

Nobody has balls anymore, that's something only old people did! In the stone age or whatever! [ .. not.. entirely accurate there, Leon, but sure. ]

[white_emperor]

Well, perhaps then I'm from a time different from yours. It would explain a great deal of things, wouldn't it?

[tsunball]

No way! Why the hell would we be stuck here with people from a way different time? That doesn't even make sense!

[white_emperor]

... I would say common place of the dead, but what seems to be a standard of this world are... completely new. Maybe I'm an oddity.

[ Although as soon as he says that, he regrets it. That means no Vin. Even none of Kelsier's crew, although he sort of wished they all survived the koloss attack. ]

[tsunball]

Yeah, you're probably this place's resident freak. [ Don't say it so bluntly, Leon.. he moves his hand up to pull it through his hair as he thinks. ]

You should speak to that Suzumiya girl or whatever, she seems to have figured out a lot about this shit. More than me, I don't even get what she talks about!

[white_emperor]

[ More than you know, Leon. Just wait until his powers come back in full - ]

Suzumiya? Is that a name or a second name? [ He means family name, honestly. ]

[tsunball]

A second-- it's her family name! [ There, not going to bother sorting that out, just say this so he can be done with being weirded out. ]

A loud girl with brown hair and a ribbon in her hair, you can't miss her!

[white_emperor]

Lady Suzumiya, loud with brown hair and ribbons.

Thank you.

[tsunball]

[ Is this an excuse to get away from the weirdo? If so, he'll gladly grab it with both hands here, raising his hand in a half-greeting of sorts. ]

I'll see you then. [ Mostly since it's difficult to avoid people in a place as small as this.. ]

[white_emperor]

Until then.

[ Elend gives a slight bow - not enough to really be much more than an a tilt, and turns to wander off in search of this Suzumiya. ]
