Punch Rachel in snout to establish dominance!
Oh, but that’s for pigs and game pieces! With Rachel, you gotta kick her in the ear.

“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. 🙂
If you could have super powers what would they be?
The ability to refill everything. No money in bank? Fill it up! No gas in the tank? Fill it up! No knowledge of a certain problem? Fill your brain up! No love in your relationship? Fill it with love! You’re drowning? Fill your lungs with oxygen!
This ain’t a bad one.
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!
Purity: *stares silently down the hallway for a good ten seconds*
Purity: “…”
Purity: “theo what the FUCK”
Theo handed Aster to her mother. He felt dazed at the magnitude of what faced him. Two years.
It’s as Jack said. This is gonna be interesting.
Kayden looked down at Theo, who glanced at Jack for just a second, then looked up at her and nodded quickly. Urging her. Jack wouldn’t be doing this if he didn’t think he could get away.
Probably an accurate assessment, yeah.
“Alright,” she spoke.
Jack didn’t offer anything further. His knife twirling in his fingers, he stepped toward the door by the elevators, kicked it open, and stepped inside. As he made his way down, he whistled a merry tune, the sound echoing through the stairwell until the moment the doors shut.
See ya!
I like this character.
Jack waggled a finger at her, “Don’t bother, Purity. See, I’ve been studying you. I go into every possible fight armed with knowledge. You have a weakness. A flaw in that power of yours.”
For all that he appreciates unpredictability, he also knows the power of knowledge in this setting.
Truly a foe to beware.
Theo could see Kayden tense, but she obliged when he pushed her away from the door and towards the end of the hallway furthest from the stairwell, stepping back.
“Comin’ through!”
“While reading up on you, I tried to put the newspaper clippings and online information in chronological order, and a funny thing happened. Seems like your power is weaker some days, stronger on others. I mapped it out. You have some form of internal battery or fuel that drives your power. After going days without using your power, you’re stronger. After periods where there’s more sunlight, your power is stronger. You absorb light of any kind, I suppose, and later spend it to use your abilities.”
Huh, that’s really neat!
So how’s the weather been recently?
Theo thought he might have seen a tiny flash of concern on Kayden’s face.
“It’s been an overcast week, and you’ve been using your powers a great deal, trying to put the Pure on the map. So think very hard about what you want to do next. Because if I’m right, and your power is spent, you might not succeed in killing me. And I would retaliate by killing all three of you.”
Even in spite of the deal you just sort of struck with Theo?
“You’re underestimating me,” Kayden spoke, her voice hard.
“Then blast me away. Turn me into a smear in your hallway, if you think you’re strong enough, quicker with your light than I am with a knife. Prove me wrong,” Jack smiled. He waited a few seconds, and the only noises in the hallway were Aster’s mewling complaints.
Whether he’s right or wrong about her bluffing, the outcome should satisfy him. Either he’s right, or he’s surprised.
Jack stepped into the hallway and turned toward the stairwell. “Thought so. Be grateful. That boy is the only reason you and your daughter are alive right now. He’ll explain. Train him. Make him strong, make him vicious. Let him take whatever path he needs to take. You and your daughter owe him that.”
I… suppose they do.
