[kashuu your completely valid screaming

she looks over at him as he blasts snowflake magic everywhere, and with her roll, decides not to be incredibly stupid as the tension rises as he points out how ridiculous this is!! especially as kelsier starts speaking and makes it abundantly clear he isn't her kelsier, a fact she already knew but was actively not thinking about.

while she'll tug on his sleeve again as she goes so she doesn't just abandon him in the middle of this slowly escalating altercation, she's running towards kashuu. the time to flee... has come. to the knights, though:]

I am sorry, and so is he! Kelsier, don't hurt them!

[just want it out there that i'm losing my mind

eli 🔪 vin Roll: [16] Result: 16]

[slashay]

[HE'S REALLY JUST THIS RIGHT NOW. HE'S HYSTERICAL. HE'S LOST IT. HE'S SNAPPED. He's sorry to Aymeric's distant voice as he just has to sit through watching this all happen.

But at least Vin's making the smart choice and running his way instead of waiting to fight off a bunch of knights about it. He'll immediately reach out for her hand as she heads over, and whenever he grabs it, he's going to make a dash AWAAAY with an 11 roll for fighting if need be and a 13 roll for speed which means they will probably run into some trouble but it's fine,,,

He will also just shout one last resounding nugget of wisdom for everyone else as he goes:]

ALL WARS ARE POINTLESS AND STUPID, IT'S THE NATURE OF PEOPLE AND FIGHTING—!!

[Thanks, Kashuu.

Anyway, unless Vin deems it fit to go anywhere else, he's going to nyoom toward the transport crystal thing, though he's also keeping an eye on Aymeric because he is absolutely considering kidnapping him away from this madness in their attempt to dip.]

[ The snowflake was very pretty, Kashuu. It got everyone's attention earlier, but. Yeah.

Whispers... with a 16, the people are unsettled. That's an understatement, really, as there's panic that runs through the crowd. The inquisitors are arriving as well, swift and fast so there are even more knights. While the initial knights are confused because Lucia had seemed to look at Vin and Kashuu with trusting eyes earlier, the inquisitors are not so soft. They don't know the lore.

The leading inquisitor yells: ]

They... Speak lies! [ YEAH! ] HERETICS!! ARREST THEM!

[ With all efforts and numbers, they will catch Vin, Kashuu, and Kelsier before they reach the aetheryte... Unfortunately, as they're separated, Vin will witness her mentor spit manic and blasphemous words, crazed... Then turn into one of those colorful Lisa Frank beasts from the Prism. She does not get the comfort to know what is done with him. This scene will stay with her.

The familiar voice again: "hope and desperation are separated by a fine line..."

I MUST FLEE SOON, but i will leave you with a new experience here. ]
