[onlysurvivor]

This is supposed to allow us to contact others from home now? Just for today?

[he clears his throat]

All right. If you're listening, I'm sorry I couldn't tell you everything and that I had to die to make it work. I know you've heard this from OreSeur while he looked like me. I know it's not quite the same but it was the best I could do.

You'll make the world green again. I just wish I could be alive to see it.

Comments

[godsays]

You thought they would make the world green again?

[onlysurvivor]

I know they will. Eventually.

[indispensible]

[Silence. Si.lence. Just nothing for pretty much a full minute, and then.]

You should say hello before you apologize.

[onlysurvivor]

[RETURN SILENCE BECAUSE HOLY SHIT VIN.

Then a smile.]

Hello, Vin.

[godsays]

That's impossible.

[indispensible]

Hello, Kelsier.

[A beat.]

I'm very angry with you. [She doesn't really sound that angry.]

[venturehound]

[Oh look, a talking wolfhound.]

OreSeur is dead. As your companion could have told you.

[On the one hand, Vin said Kelsier wasn't like other masters. On the other, he seems friendly with Zane. TenSoon is dubious.]

[onlysurvivor]

Yeah. I know. I had hoped it wouldn't turn out the way it did.

[onlysurvivor]

[Huh, talking wolfhound. A kendra? Don't they usually just do humans?]

He didn't. What happened and who are you?

[godsays]

No.

[ Zane has gone stiff, half-panicked. This can't be happening. He doesn't want Kelsier to hear the things he's done. ]

[godsays]

Because you can blame him for abandoning you.

[indispensible]

You had hoped.

[It's almost funny.]

[indispensible]

[Her eyes narrow.]

Because I miss him.

[godsays]

That doesn't make people angry.

[onlysurvivor]

[Well, Kelsier does laugh a little.]

The skaa needed the hope more than I did.

[indispensible]

[She just tilts her head at him. He doesn't know nearly as much as he thinks he does.]

[indispensible]

[Her lips twitch.]

Do you know what they've done with your memory?

[godsays]

Being left makes people angry. Or being hurt.

[indispensible]

Or being lied to.

[onlysurvivor]

Not specifically. I have an idea what might have done. They've turned me into what they needed me to be.

[godsays]

Or being killed.

[indispensible]

They have.

It's weird.

[indispensible]

You're afraid.

[She watches him carefully.]

You didn't tell him.

[godsays]

I told him we were enemies. What he concluded from that is up to him.

[venturehound]

[In a low, rumbling growl, half-canine.]

Zane ordered me to kill him.
