“Tattletale say that?” Noelle asked.
That’s not really Tattle’s role, though she is good at educated guesswork.
“Coil did,” Trickster answered.
Odd. So Noelle was staying with Coil, but she didn’t know about Dinah? Another secret or white lie from her team?
Yeeah, they may not want to tell her that there’s someone around who can give her the precise odds of fixing whatever is happening to her, and more importantly, that the odds are low.
“I can’t help but think of the Desecrated Monk scenario,” Noelle said. I saw Trickster, Sundancer and Ballistic all nodding.
Is that like a codename for a specific type of situation they’ve trained for?
Desecrated Monk sounds like it refers to someone who can’t or won’t fight back with violence against the people who attacked them and their home.
When I turned to my team, they looked as confused as I was. Was this Desecrated Monk someone the Travelers had gone up against at some point before they came to Brockton Bay?
I suppose it’s not the stupidest hero name, but I don’t think that’s it. I don’t think she’d say “scenario” in that case.
“Go on,” Trickster encouraged her.
“The rules are unfair. Half of our opponents are pretty blatantly cheating. But we have to deal with them anyways. So either we cheat back-“
Or we knock the board over and refuse to play?
“Which we can’t.”
“Or you guys handle it the way we did it before. You don’t fight the way they want to fight.”
The Slaughterhouse members are like a set of chess pieces.
So let’s play backgammon.
