“Skitter,” Coil answered the phone. “I’ve been made aware that Bonesaw has deployed the ace she had up her sleeve.”
“Bonesaw is one of the Nine?”
“Yeah. Agnostia… Agnosia-inducing mist. Permanent, according to Tattletale.”
It makes you agnosic, not agnostic. Big difference.
“I see.” I could hear the sounds of typing on a keyboard. “Agnosia… Panacea can’t reverse the effects?”
I like that we’re getting essentially confirmation for my other thought that I failed to mention: That Coil might have to look it up.
“She’s not here. We’re trying to find her.”
“And you need Cherish for that, I suppose.”
Looks like Coil is on point today with understanding the plan.
I was grateful that he was supplying the names, because it meant I didn’t have to bog down the conversation by remembering or asking. Grue, Tattletale and I had brought them up recently enough that it wasn’t a huge leap to remember their names.
Coil, helpful as ever.
The woman who I’d tied up with the spider silk was walking towards us.
Alright, now this is what Lisa was supposed to pay attention to.
It kinda seems like the miasma has caused her to trust too much in her power. “My power says so, so she’s definitely a member of the Nine! Oh yes, I’ll certainly know if she follows us. I know everything!”
Her progress was hampered by the decoys. I kept my mouth shut. It wasn’t an imminent problem, and I was more interested in gauging just how far gone Tattletale’s power was.
Does she do anything to the decoys?
Also, another possibility that’s been nagging at the back of my mind is that this is Cherish, but that doesn’t make much sense. Cherish would use her power to change Brian and Lisa’s minds away from killing her, and she’s not the type to effortlessly break out of the spider string.
…incidentally, I’m not sure whether or not the woman being Cherish would count towards her being one of the Nine like Lisa’s power said. I haven’t really been considering her and Shatterbird members of the Nine since not too long after it was made clear the Nine wouldn’t take them back (as long as Regent lives, anyway).
