“I know.”

The woman was still approaching.  Tattletale and Grue weren’t talking.

Whoever this woman is, she seems calmly determined to do something with the Undersiders. Possibly talk, but who knows. She didn’t pipe up while bugtied.

Something was wrong.

It is kinda strange that Lisa and Brian are so silent now. Especially Lisa. This call seems like the sort of situation that’d get her blabbing.

“What if we kept you on the line?”  I suggested.

“That will suffice.”

Fair.

There was a pause, then the sound of background noise.  A ring sounded, different from the one before.  It was interrupted as Cherish picked up.

Howdy! Do you have any idea who anyone is?

“I have never been so sorry to miss out,” Cherish said.  She sounded a bit hoarse.

Heh. On what exactly, the agnosia or watching people with agnosia tear the town and each other asunder?

“We’re requesting your help,” Coil spoke.

“Oh, you need my help in more ways than you’re aware of.  Not that I’m going to provide it.  Skitter’s on the line, I believe?”

Are you suggesting you could fix this with your power?

Or that there’s another threat brewing?
