“Skitter!” a voice called out.
!
Someone remembers her name!
I stopped.
A blond girl, waving at me.
Victoria? Lisa?
Oh right, Lisa would be resistant to this, wouldn’t she. Just like she’s implied to be resistant to Imp’s power.
I drew my gun and leveled it at her.
Yikes.
The smile dropped from her face. She brought both hands to her mouth as she shouted, “It’s me! Tattletale!”
You say that, but…
I hesitated.
How tragic would it be if I shot my friend, so soon after I’d wanted to scream at the heroes for fighting among one another?
Very. Do not shoot your friend.
“How did you get here?”
“On the dog. I don’t remember its name, but it wasn’t as affected as we were. This effect is tailored for people.”
Makes sense.
I looked in the direction of the creature I’d seen. Had that been the dog they’d come on?
They? So Trickster and maybe Sunny are here too?
I drew closer, but I kept the gun aimed at her. I glanced around. “Where are the others?”
“Most are hiding,” she said. “My powers kind of let me work around this gas, I think. I brought Grue, too.”
How is he working around it? Is he keeping a bit of darkness in contact with Lisa to borrow some of her awareness? Except it seems to me that Taylor would notice that.
I looked around. What she was saying felt right, even if I couldn’t remember her powers, specifically. “What is this? Amnesia?”
Kind of.
“Agnosia. We haven’t forgotten. Just… can’t use the knowledge we have.
Huh. I didn’t know that was a thing.
Looking at the others, I think they’re hallucinating. If it’s prions, like Bonesaw used with the power nullification darts, it fits. Hallucinations would match with heavy prion exposure.”
Interesting.
