Knowing that some of Coil’s intel about the Slaughterhouse Nine was out of date, what else do you think might’ve changed about them in the interim?

I just reread the relevant section of 10.6, and I don’t see anything that really jumps out at me as far as this goes.

I do think it’s worth noting that I speculated

at the time

about the vacancy being outdated info, allowing for a surprise ninth member the Undersiders didn’t have intel on, but as it turns out, the vacancy is instead being used for much more interesting narrative purposes. 🙂

“This is the leader of one of the city’s top threats, right here.” I love how you managed to be completely wrong and yet also 100% correct at the same time.

Ahahaha!

Seriously, though, that was a great fakeout on Wildbow’s part. :p

“This might be countered by Garnet’s future vision (the same way Tattletale seems immune or resistant to Imp’s power), or it might throw the future vision for a loop and make Garnet’s predictions less accurate.” Dinah’s future vision doesn’t seem to have any trouble with Tattletale.

Hm, that’s a good point, especially considering their variants of future vision are very similar.

One more point of interest: Word of God recently confirmed that Rollo wasn’t a dog. Wildbow never clarified what species exactly Rollo was, but fans theorise that it was a coyote.

Huh, that’s interesting. I guess “Rachel couldn’t tell the difference” is a better explanation than “the Dandelions couldn’t tell the difference”.

One of the posts in interlude 11b uses the wrong quote. The quote “But you’ve piqued my interest, and if there’s any reason I do what I do, it’s because I find it interesting.” appears twice.

Whoops! Fixed, thank you. 🙂

End of Interlude 11b

That was fun.

Jack Slash is a loveable (as a character) psychopath who kills because the impact he can have on the world by doing so is interesting to him. He likes to not know outcomes, likes seeing how things turn out if he flips this switch instead of that one…

Jack Slash would probably love having Coil’s power.

And then we have Theo, the other character we focused on here – a son of Kaiser who wants to use his eventual powers for good rather than evil, one who’d challenge Jack Slash when faced with seemingly inevitable death, one who is now forced to hurry up and become a cape powerful and skilled enough to take down Jack himself, or face Jack going out of his way to kill a thousand people explicitly as punishment for Theo’s failure.

I didn’t care much for Theo back in Interlude 3½, but this made me like him quite a bit. Jack turned out to be quite enjoyable too, and together they made this a chapter I really like.

Next time… another place, another face. Maybe a Hatchet one? I don’t know, and I don’t have much to go on to make an educated guess about who’s next, but I do know that this seems to have confirmed my suspicion that the Anniversary Bonus Interludes would be about each Slaughterhouse member. Just, not from their POVs.

So yeah, see you then!
