Which method of plugging the emotional holes would she choose? Surely not something our culture provides for the purpose, like a hobby, also she's incapable of true friendship right now, and influence from her parents and E88 precludes substance abuse (that's degeneracy). All that's left is disassociating from her emotions, throwing herself into work (power study), drinking some flavor of cool-aid (three guesses what she'll choose), or breaking down completely.
We don't know for sure yet whether Kaiser is dead. Armsmaster might not have been desperate enough to break the truce. His career was in better shape before Leviathan than in Worm, somewhat humiliated but as far as I know he wasn't demoted. On the flip side, Kaiser could have died just fine without treachery.
What team? Brian is dead. Lisa and Alec are with Taylor already. At most Rachel might go off on her own.
They showed up as a team at an Endbringer fight with a new member to replace the lost, except for Alec. Wherever Lisa or Alec's loyalties lay, most of them are acting like there's still an Undersiders team. Likely because Coil expects one, and Lisa doesn't want pet training.
Still, everyone but Rachel is basically a fake Undersider working for someone else. Why would Coil want Circus to vote for kicking Alec off the team after all?
That's a good point, Coil wouldn't want anyone removed from the team as long as the team/stipend/etc was any sort of hold or influence on them. At the same time, hard for Coil to have a cohesive villain team to deploy if they don't maintain some sort of discipline.
When? He said Armsmaster did his thing and survived it. That could have included JFKing the Empire leadership but doesn't have to.
I'm pretty sure Alec hasn't even gotten through any of the loyalty from Know the Soul's Price yet. I don't think Taylor has done anything to bother him so far either.
He got away from his dad. Heartbreaker.
If I recall correctly, Alec's tipping point with Heartbreaker wasn't any particular indignity or evil, but the realization after committing one of those evils that his father would never stop pushing, that there would be no pleasing him under any circumstance. Low Key can be placated by anyone other than Sophia Hess.
It'd be funny if he realizes what's going on, feels the loyalty and likes it because it's the first feeling he hasn't borrowed in years. Then demands trade in kind because mastering people without a safe word is rude.
Haha. That is bad and you should feel bad.
It was implied offscreen earlier, and then later Lisa figured it out and said something like "You do you, human level intelligence after all."
Go back a few chapters, we had a discussion and everything. Iirc it was after she had gotten pancake'd via Tattletale but yes. She did in fact pork the dawg
Lol.
Lol x2.
It was offscreen after she got raped, Lisa picked up on it.
Snut's basically said they're using Godblooded rules. Fully compatible with humans, and the Godblooded traits are inheritable. One godblood does not a dynasty make, though. They'll fade after a few generations without further spirit fucking.
Taylor would probably do it to keep fenrirs memory alive and physically present.
