I never heal sore muscles from a good fight or fightin' workout. That's the best part! Makes me feel like I earned my next nap it does.

[the-first-gem]

It would also just be a waste of healing, I think.

[and-wayne]

Eh. Healed myself un-drunk too many times to count. Also stabbed a knife through my hand for a bet on three separate occasions. I ain't responsible enough to think about the waste on normal days.

[the-first-gem]

*eye twitches*

You do realise that being drunk is the best part of drinking, right? I'm very jealous of people who can get drunk. And you're here wasting time you could have spent drunk?

[and-wayne]

[king-of-alethkar-official]

*throws open door and bursts into room, visibly panicked* Father! Where are you?

@alethkars-true-king

I’m alright, Gavinor, did something happen, what’s wrong?

[alethkars-true-king]

*grab Elhokar's arm* You're here. You're here, you're alright... You're alright. I... I........

... don't leave me again, okay?

[king-of-alethkar-official]

*holds onto Gavinor* I am alright

I won’t, I promise you, I won’t leave again. Son, what is going on?

[alethkars-true-king]

*squeezes tightly, sniffles* I... it's nothing. It's stupid. I just had a bad dream.

[king-of-alethkar-official]

It’s not stupid, if I’d been through all the damnation you’ve gone through I’d likely be reacting a lot worse than you are right now. do you want to tell me about it?

[alethkars-true-king]

...I saw that day again. It feels stupid, I've seen you... it happen a thousand times. It shouldn't bother me anymore. *still not letting Elhokar go*

[king-of-alethkar-official]

no, that’s not… you’re allowed to be upset about it, it’s- it’s only been a year for everyone. do you know how long it took for me to stop getting nightmares after my fathers death?

[alethkars-true-king]

It's been twenty years for me, Father. I should be used to it.

... your nightmares stopped? How?

[king-of-alethkar-official]

but odium kept making you relive it, that’s bound to stick with you.

that’s the thing, they never did stop, I just learned to deal with it, and I got support, mine maybe wasn’t the best, all things considered, it was Dalinar who never could understand me, but it was better than nothing.

[alethkars-true-king]

...they never stop? *hiccuping sob*

[king-of-alethkar-official]

they might, my father has been dead for only what, 7 or 8 years, they might stop eventually. but what’s important is that you are feeling this now and you should focus getting a support system to help you deal with them.

[alethkars-true-king]

I don't need support, I need them to stop! *clings tightly, probably painfully*

[ireniggg]

I fuck wit title-only text posts. this shit is like talkin in an apartment hallway loud as fuck out the window

[definitely-ao3-offical]

Hell eyah

[inferno-the-skywing]

Jasnah: I fuck wit title-only text posts. this shit is like talkin in an apartment hallway loud as fuck out the window

[jasnah-the-veristitalian]

*sighs*

[the-first-gem]

*sighs in response*

[in-vin-cible]

…Alright.

[and-wayne]

*winks at her, then burns bendalloy, catching the two of them in a speed bubble* See how everything's moving real slow now? Inside the bubble, I'm Pushing on time to make it faster. That's the theory of it anyhow.

[in-vin-cible]

What- how-

[and-wayne]

Beats me. I ain't that educated on Investiture. It just works like everything else works. Useful, though, when you get in a fight. You can take your sweet time to plan, and then separate 'em into quick, one-on-one takedowns.

[in-vin-cible]

Lord Ruler, if we’d had this… what do the other metals do?

[the-lord-ruler]

Cadmium does the opposite, as even the most dimwitted fool would realise, slowing down time in a bubble around the allomancer.

And Chromium and Nicrosil serve the same function as Aluminium and Duralumin, but act upon other allomancers instead of the person burning it.

[in-vin-cible]

*immediately getting out her daggers* Why are you back?

[the-lord-ruler]

You asked me, why are you surprised I answered?

And do you really expect those pathetic needles to harm a God like me?

[in-vin-cible]

I killed you once. I can do it again.

[the-lord-ruler]

Preservation is dead, that old fool can't save you now.

[in-vin-cible]

I’ll still kill you.

[the-lord-ruler]

Impossible

[in-vin-cible]

I’ll do it.

[and-wayne]

*drawing his dueling canes* Got your back. He's just some full of himself bastard, right? Sure as hell can't kill me.

[the-first-gem]

Sure I'll help. @the-survivor-of-hathsin-official, get over here.

[the-survivor-of-hathsin-official]

*Pulls out glass knives*

It's a nice change to be fighting with you, bastard.

[in-vin-cible]

I have help.

[the-first-gem]

Quite a good deal of people want to help. (And the bastard is Kelsier.)

[crypticdesign031297]

*holding a large spoon*

Don't make me do something I'll regret

[the-first-gem]

Really, don't. I'm the one who'll be stuck listening to her regret it.

[in-vin-cible]

…Alright.

[and-wayne]

*winks at her, then burns bendalloy, catching the two of them in a speed bubble* See how everything's moving real slow now? Inside the bubble, I'm Pushing on time to make it faster. That's the theory of it anyhow.

*holding a large spoon*

[the-first-gem]

What would happen if i put you in an industrial press

Depends. Do you turn it on? Otherwise probably nothing interesting. I'd just be mildly annoyed and climb out and say something disparaging.

[in-vin-cible]

…Alright.

I fuck wit title-only text posts. this shit is like talkin in an apartment hallway loud as fuck out the window

[inferno-the-skywing]

Jasnah: I fuck wit title-only text posts. this shit is like talkin in an apartment hallway loud as fuck out the window

[nooneinnportant]

One of the twins, probably: The kids at school were asking if you’re a bottom or a top.

Hoid: They should not be asking that.

The twins: They said if that was your answer, then you were a bottom.

Hoid: WHO ARE THESE FUCKING KIDS YOU'RE TALKING TO??

[the-first-gem]

Please, my answers would make sure to be far more entertaining, and I am not accustomed to using that particular cuss word.

[nooneinnportant]

Kids DO tend to make you lose your wits (pun very much intended), and I'm sure you'll get accustomed to it at some point.

[the-first-gem]

You underestimate my ability to go with the flow, and also that's what the bendalloy is for.

[nooneinnportant]

Okay now I'm curious. What is the bendalloy for exactly?

[the-first-gem]

If I'm ever caught so off-guard I lose my namesake, I can burn it to make time to find it.

[inferno-the-skywing]

How would you lose your old master? Isn't he dead?

[the-first-gem]

Other namesake. This is the problem with having this many names. I should start getting rid of a few, Shashara. I meant Wit.

[nooneinnportant]

*sneaking up behind you*

@a-wandering-biomancer

*pretending not to notice*

[a-wandering-biomancer]

Hi

Mind if I get a blood sample?

[the-first-gem]

Might be somewhat difficult since I usually heal up pretty quick but...

Go for it.

[a-wandering-biomancer]

*manages to draw a good amount of blood*

[the-first-gem]

What are you going to use it for?

[a-wandering-biomancer]

Research

[the-first-gem]

*tilts head*

Okay. I deserve that.

What are you researching? I'm kind of curious on how my blood will react to things.

[a-wandering-biomancer]

*blinks*

Oh! You want to know details

So, I know that some bits of Invested power can be stored in the body and blood, rather than specific organs. And some that do have organs are based with and altering the organs themselves

I wanna see how many can be gleaned and replicated, but testing how it react to various things will be interesting as well

[the-first-gem]

Hmm. In my case it might behave very differently. I'm sort of an outlier.

But yes, investiture appears to be stored at the cellular level. Kandra are evidence of this, but beyond that: even a single cell stores enough to anchor my spiritweb and regenerate my entire body in a pinch. Not something I often get a chance to weaponise.
