Hundreds of people at a time.
It dawned on me as worked through each bedroom in each apartment: I doubted there were five other people in the world, cape or not, who could multi-task like I was.
Heh, yeah, Taylor can be pretty damn efficient that way. I suppose the massive extent to which she can do it at this point does point to it being a part of the power.
It had to be a side-benefit of my power. My consciousness divided a hundred ways, problem solving, performing complex tasks for a hundred different scenarios at once.
Almost like she’s a hivemind with the swarm, huh.
Once each person was awake, I had to warn them. But that wasn’t simple – apartments without power didn’t have light, either.
Ah, right.
Got any fireflies in there?
For many, I could put the bugs on the window and spell out words with their silhouettes, but there were people with blinds and curtains that would obscure that.
See, this is one of those cases where if I’d been reading my own comments as part of the audience, I’d be quoting this:
TC: can’t it be motherfuckin
TC: BOTH THINGS.
It’s incredible how often this is applicable when following along with a liveblog, honestly.
I forced myself to use the bug’s sensory inputs, to seek out the biggest patches of light and warmth in each room where a person was being woken up, so the bugs could cluster in those spots and hopefully be seen.
Ooh, following up on that plot thread from 12.3 in a very constructive way, nice!
