The Boardwalk and surrounding area? Green marker, ‘Skitter: Low threat, free supplies?’
Nice.
I looked and noted that Tattletale’s area was partially blocked in by black marker. According to the map it was contested by an overlapping of Grue’s territory and the Merchants. Red pins marked some of the areas.
Wait, Grue’s territory overlaps with Tattle’s? That seems like an odd decision.
I supposed that made sense. If she left her own territory empty, it would be conspicuous, and it would be strange to mark it as Tattletale’s when she hadn’t done anything noteworthy to claim the space.
Ah, right. Keeps people out of the territory before she claims it.
“Where did you say your house was?” Lisa asked the older woman.
“Dewitt and Pagne.”
Do it and pain?
Lisa turned and found the area on the map. She held the marker so it hovered over the spot. “And they’d moved in? You’re sure?”
“They’ve been there for four days, as far as I can tell. I’m afraid to get too close, but there’s always people there.”
Ah, I see, she’s gathering information on recent Merchant movements. Nice.
Lisa colored in a small section of the map with yellow highlighter, extending the size of a nearby block of the Merchant’s territory. “I know it’s small consolation, but at least now others will know to steer clear.”
Yeah, this map – besides probably being a thing she’s also doing for Coil’s benefit – is a good idea.
