We split, and Mannequin broke off, chasing Grue.
…huh. I guess maybe he wants to get rid of the interlopers first so he can really focus on Skitter when the time comes.
I headed the opposite way.
Think, Taylor, think! Mannequin was a smart guy. Everything he did would be calculated to achieve some specific goal.
Sounds about right. Right now, the overall goal is revenge, but his more specific way of going about that seems to go deeper than just plain killing Taylor. I think he wants to get her on her own so he can make her suffer first.
Why was he here? He wanted to hurt me. He wanted to hit me where it hurt, and he’d done it. He’d killed no less than ten of my followers. Charlotte and Sierra could easily be among them.
I certainly hope not. They both have great potential and I’d like to see their characters expanded on further in the future.
He had let us find him because he wanted to bait us into a trap. It had worked against Bitch, for the most part. She wasn’t dead, I hoped, but she was out of action.
Yeah, I don’t think Bitch is going to get taken out permanently just like that. She’s at risk due to her involvement in the nomination plot, but that involvement also seems to give her plot armor. If it kills her, it’s too early.
Besides, it would be an anticlimactic way to go for such an important character, though that didn’t protect Kaiser.
What about the small stuff? The little things? After he’d caught Bitch, he hadn’t shot her, and he hadn’t shot Bastard when the puppy was making its rescue attempt.
I think this makes sense, since I think it would be a faux pas to deliberately kill her before she failed his test.
