It took another minute for the rest to decide.
“So, in order… twenty-six, one-twenty-two, one-forty, one-forty-one, one-fifty-five, one-sixty, one-seventy-five, two hundred twenty-two, and three-twenty-five.”
This is one of those lines where I feel like writing out the numbers in letters just makes it look like a (crumpled?) mess, so lets make this digital: 26, 122, 140, 141, 155, 160, 175, 222, 325.
Total: 1466. Average: ~163.
The average ain’t too bad, but that 325 sounds nasty. I’m guessing that’s either Trickster or Tattletale. Regent might be somewhere in the middle (having nasty backstory but being fairly nonchalant about it), and Imp is probably the 26 (having not really been a cape long enough to build up much baggage and not seeming to be much for secrets).
Three-twenty-five?
“That’s a no, then?” Brian asked.
The 325 really points towards no, yeah.
“Something like that,” Lisa replied. She picked up the phone and dialed.
“What are you doing?” Trickster asked. “You said we wouldn’t go ahead if we didn’t all agree.”
Ah, yeah, jumping the gun a bit, Lisa.
“You’re right. But I’m going to try to haggle with her,” Lisa replied.
Oh. Alright.
“Hello? Yeah, you already know the answer. No-go. Uh-huh. Sure. What if I asked for the Travelers to leave? You could address the rest of us.
I’m not at all surprised to see the Travelers being implied to be the source of the highest numbers, but… Lisa. Surely you see the flaw with your idea here? Cherish can still reveal details about the Travelers without them being present, which would only delay the murderous rage or whatever reaction people might have to the higher secrets.
…well, it’d be only the reaction the Undersiders might have. Maybe Lisa has figured out that the big secrets are specifically internal secrets, that it wouldn’t matter if the Undersiders heard them but the other Travelers shouldn’t?
You and I both know you’re doing this to sate your boredom than for any grander purpose.”
I’m than a little sure Wildbow or Lisa accidentally a word there.
Also, boredom is a powerful thing.
