[ A glimpse can be caught, perhaps, of a small, funny-looking rabbit in the background. ]

Does anyone know how to make metal vests or armor... very small? And flexible, like chain mail.

[ Periodically, Zane can also be found in CTS, beating the shit out of various imaginary enemies through a fighting method that looks suspiciously like hopping around like a mad cricket.

He can also be found in CES, taking the rabbit for a walk.

Or the greenhouse, where he's working now. ]

You don't need to know how far for that.

[mirabilis]

Then consider that something for safety.

[godsays]

Do you just want to know my limits?

[mirabilis]

Yes. [ She might work towards something else later ] If it wasn't far something could always increase that.

[godsays]

How?

[mirabilis]

That depends on how your 'power' works. If it's a magnetism you could look at the magnetic properties of the metal.

[godsays]

It's not. It's something else.

[mirabilis]

Oh? Then what would that be?

[godsays]

Allomancy. The Allomantic quality of the metal.

[mirabilis]

Which would be?

[godsays]

I haven't found a good explanation for it.

[mirabilis]

I'm not sure that I could help, then. I couldn't hazard a guess as it.

[godsays]

There are others who have been studying the effects. They never made any progress on the cause.

[mirabilis]

Are they here?

[godsays]

I meant people here.

[mirabilis]

Did they make any progress at all, if not on the cause? What about on the effects?

[godsays]

I know the effects.

Are you a scientist?

[mirabilis]

I've never used that word to describe myself before. [ She didn't know how much the definition had changed, if it had ] Do I need to be?

[godsays]

You're very curious.

[mirabilis]

I am. It often helps me find what I want to know.

[godsays]

[ He shoots her a look, like, hey, no kidding. ]

In my world, we don't usually talk about our powers. Being open about it here is different.

[mirabilis]

Then you may find that in common with another. [ Like her, because she's not being honest about what she does know (even if it's not quite the same) ]

[godsays]

Then there are powers in your world?

[mirabilis]

Not in that sense.

[godsays]

In what sense, then?
