I have a really, really soft spot for Vin too <3 She's awesome.I'm actually pleasantly surprised at how... I'm not bothered by Kelsier and Vin being special little darlings and having all those types of allomantic powers and being 'special' which otherwise come across as really cliche and trite. Mistborn's characterisation is just a lot of fun.
Honestly, when you're dealing with a main protag in a novel, having them be "special" is not unreasonable. What really counts is not if they have awesome magical powers (and trust me, you'll meet other Mistborn throughout the series so they're not complete special snowflakes) but whether they are full, rounded characters. Which Vin and Kelsier definitely are.
And about the Inquisitors…it gets better. Muwhahahahaha.
No, there are some "other" races that you'll get to, but they're not elves or dwarves. Which is refreshing, in my opinion.
Can I just say how much I love Vin? She's so awesome.

Maybe I will…but I need to go shower and wake up OMG. I just wanted to get that post out as quick as possible. Let me know if it doesn't make sense. Cause it made sense to my half-asleep brain lol.
Los Paraísos: The Flying Albatross
Together the group made their way over to a table, stopping only to get some drinks from the bartender. Thuderhawk had graciously offered to pay for them, which Dylan was sure he immediately regretted when Amy, Moria, and Aria all ordered by the bottle (and some of them multiple!). Unable to resist the allure of a tropical drink, Dylan gladly put a Pina Colada on the tab, but made a note to accept only one drink from Thunderhawk.
Whatever he had done in the past, Dylan was not going to aid in the bankrupting of the Guilder.
Soon enough they were all settled down, Dylan’s icy drink in hand, and eagerly waiting to hear the important mission that Tiberius had sent them on. He lifted the drink up, taking a small sip and enjoying the rich mix of tropical flavors, though he was still able to taste the alcohol through it. Damn, they made their drinks strong here in Los Paraísos!
Then Thunderhawk cleared his throat, and Dylan dutifully turned his attention to the man. What could the mission be? Clearly it was important if Tiberius diverted them from finding the Guild Leaders.
“The mission is this: Young women around the island have been going missing...”, Thunderhawk began, “That’s it. Any questions?”
“Yes!” Dylan exclaimed, “of course we have questions! How many women? Since when? Where did they go missing from?” He held up his hands in supplication. “Yes, yes, I get that you’re our contact here, but that’s not exactly a wealth of information. You’ve got to have more.”
Given Pach's reaction I think I'm going to skip that video….
So I'm up, the site's up, lets give this another shot. Server don't fail me now!

Los Paraísos
Dylan found himself totally lost in the glamour of it all as they made their way from the bus to the Flying Albatross. There was a screen of moving videos, the smells of wondrous foods, and some of the most gorgeous people he had ever seen - an a completely artificial and affected way. Most of them were carefully constructed - with delicate make-up and careful clothing choices - and though they would never reach the same transcendental beauty that came from authenticity he had to admire the sheer craftsmanship.
“Oh my gods it’s Thunderjerk!!!”
Los Paraísos: The Flying Albatross
“Huh? We’re here already?” Dylan had been so lost in his musings that he hadn’t really noticed that they entered the restaurant. “What’s a Thunderjerk?” He assumed it was the man that Estelle was pointing at, but still, that was a rather strange reaction. Standing next to the “Thunderjerk” was a pair of ladies dressed in very different outfits. One was dressed to the nines in a shimmering red dress, the color of which Dylan found fascinating, and the other was in a simple white summer dress. He smiled at the sight, enjoying the contrast.
Stepping forward he bowed to both of them in turn. “Hello. My name is Dylan, and guessing from our esteemed leader’s reaction, you two must be part of the group we are to meet.”
