week 2, saturday

[turbulency]

[ Man, he is tired... Spots Vin. Hello. ]

How're you doing?

[allomantic]

...About as well as anyone else.

[so, bad, but who isn't!!]

I don't know how we managed that.

[turbulency]

Persistence?

[ who knows ]

You've got a sharp eye, too.

[allomantic]

...It shouldn't have taken me so long to figure out something was off with her hair.

[sounding a little frustrated with herself]

[turbulency]

You have really high standards for yourself, huh?

[allomantic]

I guess. But regardless of how I feel about it... It would've been troublesome if we didn't find all three of them. I owe Laudna thanks, too.

[turbulency]

It's a good thing we did.

Assuming the forth was Iwatooshi, hopefully that means our killers won't just keep increasing.

[allomantic]

Hopefully. But even three deaths a week is...

[turbulency]

It's a lot. And who knows how many we'll lose tomorrow.

[allomantic]

You think someone's going to go after Camille?

[she doesn't sound too surprised by the idea. she'd be more surprised if nobody did, honestly.]

[turbulency]

I wouldn't be surprised. And if Iwatooshi really did find his match, that means we could lose three more people.

[allomantic]

...Did someone say he did?

[turbulency]

That's the rumour.

[allomantic]

Can you be any more specific than that?

[turbulency]

[ shakes his head ]

No, that's all I know. I don't even know if it's true.

[allomantic]

...I suppose we'll just have to wait and see, then.

[she hates it!!]

[turbulency]

... Yeah, that seems to be all we can do most of the time.

I was hoping we'd have more information on getting out of here by now.

[allomantic]

It's... difficult to remember that it's only been three weeks. But we have a month left before the final ritual, if what the overseers said at the beginning about the timeline is still accurate.

[turbulency]

Only, huh. [ feels like forever ] Our missions don't usually last more than a week, so I guess I'm impatient.

[allomantic]

My last job lasted over a year... I guess we have different perspectives.

[turbulency]

I guess.

[ He sighs. ]

There is that note that's been going around—not sure if you've seen it—about tampering with the ritual, so we are learning... some things.

[allomantic]

[she shakes her head]

I don't think I've seen it. What did it say?

[turbulency]

Basically that the ritual has risks for them too, and the god they want to summon might come here as a newborn, and if they mess up the steps to protect it, it could end up mortal.

[allomantic]

...So we could kill it.

[turbulency]

We could, but if it's summoned as a newborn... it's still summoned, so we'd be dead.

[ he thinks?? ]
