TEST DRIVE MEME

Considering apping to EACHDRAIDH? Why not give the setting a test run here! OPTIONAL SCENARIOS 01. ARRIVING IN THE DRABWURLD. The Seelie and Unseelie courts welcome you not with mirthful revelry, this time around dear friends. There is a seriousness in the air, though the food is still hearty and the imps still mischievous. After you have been briefed on your purpose here, you will find an endless feast and a night filled with entertainment to placate your concerns. Mingle with new arrivals, sneak down the castle halls and make sure your eyes are always on your glass; fairies and imps have no bias when it comes to tricks! 02. THE STATION. Looking for a little slice of home? The Station gives you all that and more. Take advantage of the wifi, have a cup of fairy-brewed coffee (the one they didn't spit in) or sit back and relax on the patio. You can even move your things into one of the available rooms! 03. WILDCARD. Your own scenario! Explore the Drabwurld or simply take advantage of your Locket! Be mindful, though -- the monarchs are watching and cross court communication should be done with the utmost secrecy.

A good noble would do what was necessary. Zane never did. A good noble would let himself be used. Zane... well, Zane did do that.

Zane likes being watched. Being admired. Being feared. Mistborn should always be like this: out in the open.

"Mistborn shouldn't kill each other," he says, finally, watching Kelsier carefully for his reaction. In an ideal world, this is true, and maybe, here, away from their game, it can be an ideal world. "Not for their games."

Kelsier cocks his head to the side. It's an interesting take on it. It's a little surprising even. Spoken like someone whose worth has been dictated by their value to their House. "Not for politics, you mean," he half states and half asks.

So, he's at least a tool for one of the Great Houses but not quite a noble. An illegitimate son? He makes no secret in his expression, he's trying to figure him out.

"I still don't get your name?"

[godsays]

Zane considers not telling him entirely. He might enjoy being visible, but there is some appeal in having secrets, too. On being someone that the Survivor wants to figure out.

That might even be nice. The Survivor, sparring with him, asking him questions.

He can't tell from Kelsier's expression whether he understands or not.

"If I don't tell you, will you want to kill me?"

[onlysurvivor]

He blinks at the question. What kind of life did he lead for that to even be an option? Then again, it could be that he has a name he might recognize -- but he doesn't seem the type to fear that. After all, you don't throw coins at another Mistborn unless you want them to notice.

"If you don't tell me, I'll just come up with one for you," Kelsier laughs. He tugs slightly on an anchor, making himself sway in the air, an unspoken way of letting him know he plans to move soon. "It just may not be flattering one," he adds with a grin before casually dropping from the sky.

He Pushes on the side of a tower and goes off to the outer edge of Caer Scima. He had planned to cover the perimeter before getting distracted by Zane. No reason he can't return to that and not-so-subtly challenge him to a race around Caer Scima.

[godsays]

Visibly, and through Allomancy, Zane has apparently no metal on him. He got rid of his coin purse so that Kelsier wouldn't be able to track him.

But, when Kelsier starts to move, turning his back partially on Zane, a blue line appears out of nowhere: Zane spits one of the coins into his palm and shoots it at Kelsier, a mischievous attempt to knock him off-balance. He shoves him sideways to the anchors that he thinks Kelsier is likely using.

[onlysurvivor]

The sudden streak of blue is a bit of a surprise and a very nice trick he'll be certain to steal. An attack like that reminded him, abruptly of Gemmel. He never did work out if the old madman was trying to kill him or train him.

Thinking quickly, he Pushes up off his lowest anchor allowing the coin to sail beneath him. He flares Steel and pushes down hard on the coin. The end result of the maneuver sends him into a ballistic spin. In a sense, Zane succeeded in knocking him off balance, Kelsier just turned into something else.

A leap or two later the spinning slows. "Please tell me you were hiding that in your mouth," he calls out with a laugh. He sure hopes he didn't literally pull it from his ass.

[godsays]

Zane lands lightly and gracefully on a battlement, in a crouch. Kelsier didn't know the trick, but he picked up on it much faster than Vin. Being relegated to this world instead of his own might not be so bad, after all. Here, he can make a name for himself. Here, his insanity has been much less troublesome.

"Zane," is what he says. Only that. Little bit of a smirk on his face. He chooses to step off the stone wall, dropping and pushing outward, moving him in a long curve. Tight grab and pull on a tower swings him around it and out of sight.

If Kelsier follows, he'll get another similar, unexpected attack, because as soon as Zane is out of sight, he shoots upward and perches in a window.
