Yarr harr, fiddle-de-dee! Yarr harr, fiddle-de-dee! Yarr harr, fiddle-de-dee!

Wait, no, that’s not what an air raid siren sounds like.

There we go. Hello, everyone, this is Krixwell, your local liveblogger and evacuation organizer. Please proceed calmly through the liveblog session to the closest Endbringer shelter! On the way, I’ll tell you all about my reactions to Interlude 7 of Worm.

So, what do I expect from this Interlude?

Interludes have always been a bit of a wildcard, but one thing that’s stayed certain is that they’ve landed neatly and chronologically like any other chapter. As such, I think we’ll be picking up during the evacuation, probably focusing on someone either evacuating or getting ready to go up against the Endbringer. I don’t know who, though, and there are too many suspects to make an educated guess – it could be literally anyone in the city, maybe with the exception of characters who already got Interludes. Maybe. And if Wildbow throws a real curveball it could even be someone not in the city.

I guess there’s only one way to find out, eh? Let’s go!

(I don’t see a part 2, so splitting it up was probably a good call.) Hm, let’s see. It’s time to play sorting hat for a moment. Taylor: Slytherin. No doubt. She’s resourceful, cunning and ambitious, even though her ambition to become a hero kind of fell by the wayside as of the Decision. If […]

I know, right? The build up for the Endbringers in general has been excellent – no one has told us anything directly about them, really, other than that they’re in the “monster” category and are treated with the city truce by default, as well as a few details about the Simurgh in passing. But it’s still […]

Powerful, deadly, immoral or amoral, and possibly Lovecraftian in nature (though as I just mentioned in another ask, that theory has no solid evidence whatsoever). This might be the Simurgh, in which case they’re known to possibly have the power of mind reading, and are probably not only consciously intelligent enough to process thoughts, but […]

I summarized it in this post following 7.5. Since then, my one tiny piece of actual evidence for the “Lovecraftian horror” theory – that the Simurgh was the only known parahuman to have a name with a “the” in it – has been semi-broken, since Crusader was first mentioned as “the Crusader” (though so far only that one time). […]

The expected response to the situation from the city has already been made clear: Pretty much every cape with a scrap of decency and courage, be they hero or villain (or even rogues, probably), does their darndest to protect the city and put down the Endbringer. I don’t think that will be subverted in this […]

Hmm… I guess I’d really like for Taylor and Danny to work things out, but it’s not really “above all else”, nor do I think it should happen immediately… It’d be interesting to see the Undersiders’ reactions to learning the truth about Taylor’s recruitment, I suppose. I’m also not against having Kaiser beaten the shit out […]
