The last time we’d all been in a car with Trickster, he’d noted that there were two major problems that Coil was helping them with.
Oh right, he did, didn’t he. Well, one of them is clearly Noelle, but the other one… Well, I’ve already theorized about them being on the run from Cauldron (or some other threat), and this nugget that I’d forgotten about strikes me as further evidence for that.
Noelle was obviously one. A part of me could buy that there was something serious going on with her, something that necessitated the help of someone like Coil. Another nagging part of me was thinking that there were still too many unanswered questions.
You’re telling me? 😛
This really feels like the setup for a chapter where we’ll be getting some answers.
That or a huge troll, and unlike certain other authors I’m familiar with, Wildbow doesn’t seem like the trolly type.
What was holding them together as a group? How fragile was that tie?
Apparently there’s some kind of promise they made to each other? That’s pretty much all I solidly know. I do have my theory that it’s a common threat they’re running from, but I don’t know if that’s accurate or how the promise would fit into that.
Was this really what I needed to be dwelling on?
I mean, it could be relevant if their bond happens to be strained in this particular fight, which may be how we end up learning about it, but in-universe there’s not much reason to think that’s likely to happen. For Taylor, at least.
