He speak, people believe. People follow. Listen. This is best power. Power to steal heart. Own minds. Win souls. Great power this.” Ladashwy sat, shocked by how rusting profound that statement was. She, being Ladashwy, pulled out a notebook that was filled with inspiring quotes and wrote that down. Wow. And Ganache thinks she can't speak well? That was inspiring! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He flipped his cane and unscrewed the metal cap on the bottom of it, handing to the gravely-voiced woman. "Indeed I do." Marie Pushed the cap lightly into his chest, careful not to hurt him. "There you go." Listening to the others speak was amusing; this gang of job-seekers did not fit together. Power to steal hearts, she thought, the phrase touching something deep inside her she wasn't sure she liked it meeting. That power was a different thing entirely from controlling someone's body, though it came from the same base abilities - emotional Allomancy, Connection Compounding, holding massive amounts of Investiture. She knew it, though, just as well as she knew the first; that was how Ruin had ruled his Inquisitors. By taking their hearts, emotions, souls, and overwhelming them with him. It had been so simple to live that way. So easy. But Harmony hadn't tried anything of the sort (which she was glad for - she didn't want him messing with her head, she didn't -), and so far Adilie hadn't either. Anyone who spoke of the Survivor like this had been altered the same way. Not with the same means, instead with seductive promises and weighty cries, but their thoughts and feelings had been made to change anyway. Marie wanted none of it. She shrugged, looking at Zola. "Why wouldn't we keep her? Small children can be useful for many things, even more so if you don't damage them badly." Quote Marie why do you write yourself like this you're gonna get yourself muted again soon XD No pressure to respond, Star, just figured I wouldn't leave you hanging if you want to finish this one interaction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did Adilie think it was a good idea to let her talk? Why is everything that Marie says so disturbing? "So Zola, why did you decide to enter our carriage?" Ladashwy was trying to distract herself.

A truffle with caramel cream, one with a citron jell, a delicate heart filled with the rich, smooth, ganache her master had named her for. She added a small chocolate covered pretzel spear to the pile. The pointed tip was formed of spun sugar glass that sparkled in the light. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
