“I’d love to take on another recruit,” Lisa smiled. She turned to me, “But she saw you first.”
Hah! Whaddaya say, Taylor?
I guess Taylor is going to be okay with Sierra’s wishes, though.
Sierra looked between the two of us, then asked Lisa, “You don’t work for Skitter?”
Not quite.
“Partners, believe it or not,” Lisa replied. “We’re controlling different territories.”
Even though she clearly meant it in a different sense, I’m sure the shippers like the word “partners” here. 😉
“Oh. Two territories.”
“Nine,” Lisa corrected her. “Nine villains, nine territories.
Nine, you say? Are you just inflating the number, or are you counting outside the Undersiders?
Hm. Are the Travelers going through the same thing as the Undersiders, with a Trickster territory, a Sundancer territory, a Genesis territory and a Ballistic territory?
Oh, yeah: “Our group had discussed this, after talking to Coil the other night, and we’d hammered out more details yesterday, passing on the details to the Travelers. Our methods would vary wildly, but we were all making our bids for territory this morning.” (11.2)
The city isn’t getting better and the people in charge aren’t up to the task, so we’re taking over.”
A pretty neat way to put it that helps to make it sound like you’re the good guys. Though it’s true, at least in Skitter’s case.
