A quick sweep verified that the area around ‘Dolltown’ was largely empty of people. The flooding was bad here, and only Parian’s place was really on high enough ground to be free of it. Just to make sure, I asked, “Tattletale? How many bystanders?”
Free of the flooding? That can’t be right…
“Going by the video feed? Guessing there’s between eight and twenty people in the buildings around you.”
Not that many, really.
“Then I’m set,” I replied. I strapped the ‘seatbelt’ chain around my waist and hips and reconnected the carabiner. Other voices echoed mine, confirming they were ready.
So is the idea here to blow up parts of the buildings in order to trap the Nine between or underneath the rubble?
Halfway across the roof, Sundancer began forming her miniature sun. I checked on the others with my binoculars. Trickster and Regent were crouched at the corner of one building, and Genesis was dissolving. Good.
Oh, I guess she’s got another form in mind for the actual battle. The doggo-like one was just better for transportation.
Doesn’t it take a couple minutes for her to show up again, though?
Grue and Ballistic were arguing. I was pretty sure.
That’s probably not good.
I could see Grue grabbing Ballistic’s shoulder with one hand and pointing at the Nine with the other.
“What’s going on, Grue?” I asked.
“He’s chickening out.”
Ahhh. Bit more reluctant when it comes down to it, huh?
Watch as Sundancer is the exact opposite. 😛
