[It doesn't take Vin long to realize that the people she is seeing who look like Elend aren't really Elend. It wouldn't make sense for him to be here, after all. They are illusions - she understands later, a wish gone wrong. And anyway, most of them are walking around without a book in hand. Not him. The thought almost makes her smile.]
[But the first expression she gives the people who wear Elend's image is a dual flash of sorrow and joy, an incomprehensible twist of emotion that she'd much rather conceal. This, though, she can't control, and turns away as quickly as possible when she feels it creeping across her face.]

[She is in her cabin now, a large stone room expensively furnished, and looking annoyed. There is a pile of records in front of her, and in the background, Lunatic of God's Creation Is playing.]
This is ridiculous. I can't figure out how to make it stop.

Do you see any speakers?
[Video]
Speakers . . . no, there's nothing. Maybe it's coming from everywhere. [She hates this possibility.]

[If she wants to break the ceiling, he's not going to stop her.]
But, have you tried leaving the room and shutting the door to see if it will stop?
[Video]
[Which means no, she hasn't tried. The communicator shuts off for a second, and then turns back on. She looks pissed.]
It followed me!
[Video]
And, oh boy, she looks even more pissed when she shows back up.]
Guess it's a good thing you didn't tear into the ceiling yet. What were you doing right before it started? You must have triggered it somehow.

Metal suspended in-- hold on.
[She digs around in her heavy desk for a moment and pulls out a small vial with tiny flakes of metal floating in a clear solution. She shakes it, and the metal puffs up like the snow in a snowglobe.]
[Then she pops the cork and swallows the liquid, shrugging.]

[He looks horrified when she drinks it.]
What the hell are you doing?!
[Video] THAT ICON THO HELP
[Video] I love that you gave me a reason to use it!

[Don't freak out, man.]
If it was impure I might get sick. But this just fuels my power.

[Or, is she more like human plus? Either way, he's freaking less now after the mention of powers being involved.]

Change them in a good way, like sad to happy or...
[It's probably something less pleasant, is what he's thinking.]

You do that to people a lot?
