2nd Metal / open spam covering the next few days

[ He never had thought of Mistborn powers as being an addiction, but this may force him to admit he was wrong. He craves the metals, craves the sensations that come with them. He feels as though his body has been wrapped in cotton; no longer can he distinguish the grains of wood through his fingertips, or hear the whisper of a heartbeat from a room away. He can't use lines of metal to sense movement and to chart his surroundings. Can't fall and fly. Can't lean on the emotions of those he meets. He's trapped in his skull, a prisoner of locked doors and gravity.

This is what drives him to some desperation.

There are many risks that come with seeking out metals not metallurgist-crafted. Alloys can be impure; they can be of an incorrect mixture. It's hard to flake off bits of metal. Chewing on them will only result in certain trace metals in the system, and those could be burned off easily and quickly without much benefit.

So: find him anywhere in a public area, focused on some sort of metal. Perhaps determinedly working at the tines of a fork or attempting to chew on a pipe. Licking, in an attempt to taste the composition of an alloy. (This is unsurprisingly ineffective.)

And then, at some point, he may succeed in flaking/bending off/acquiring some metal that can be swallowed. Unfortunately, alloys of incorrect percentage give him a blinding headache and leave him nauseated and down for the count. So feel free to also find him curled into a ball really wishing he hadn't just tried to do that. ]

Okay. That's nice. Why do you need the chemical composition of a screw, exactly?
patheticvillain: (ʭ you're getting better all the time)

[8|]

Why do you care?
patheticvillain: (ʭ another clever word)

[personal profile] patheticvillain 2013-04-18 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Because it's weird.

Also, if you think you're going to get away with eating a screw in plain sight and not have people ask you what you're doing, you're a different kind of insane than you said before.

You implied. I inferred.

So tell me what your deal is with proportions.
patheticvillain: (ʭ & you know that)

[personal profile] patheticvillain 2013-04-22 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
If I had a theory I'd suggest it. But I don't, so I'm asking. It's rude to ask questions in response to questions, you know.
patheticvillain: (ʭ yeah they taught you how to count)

[personal profile] patheticvillain 2013-04-22 04:52 pm (UTC)(link)
So? [He grins.] I don't care if I'm rude.
patheticvillain: (ʭ yeah they taught you how to count)

[personal profile] patheticvillain 2013-04-22 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, because I think even if I said pretty please you'd still be an evasive jerk.
patheticvillain: (ʭ i think they taught you how to buy)

[That is a nice little victory. Cassel will take it. He smirks.]

For the record, the real reason I care is because you're something new.
patheticvillain: (ʭ play all the right games)

[personal profile] patheticvillain 2013-04-22 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, the thing is that I'm pretty weird compared to a lot of people here, so everything's weird. This is the weirdest first in-person conversation I've had with anyone, though. Number two is the kid who was wearing full-frontal spandex.

[Lol Chris.]
patheticvillain: (ʭ & drifting closer in your sights)

You don't want to know. The point is, you win the prize.
