Sudden thought, is Vi in the Tank? Or Vander's Corpse?
Yeah.. Maybe she's magic? Magic kinda pop out a lot lately.Though come to think of it, I still had no idea what had made Zapper's bolt act that way. It was like when it hit Zeri it passed through her and got powered up somehow. Maybe it had something to do with Zeri? Did she have a lot of copper in her diet or something?
lolAs I puzzled over the mystery of why this guy was dead in the first place, the smell of the fried thug reminded me that it had been several hours of work and one pretty serious fight since breakfast. Then my mouth started moving without consulting my brain first. "Speaking of cooked, wonder what he'd taste like?"
Ha! I agree with Ekko.Ekko sighed. "Jinx? You know that thing most people have in their head that tells them, 'Hey, maybe I shouldn't say that out loud?' I think yours is broken."
This is Vi.. Or Sevika but definitely Vi. Sevika dead dead."Shit," Ekko hissed under his breath. "It's The Tank."
"The Tank?" I whispered back.
"That's what we call them. Nobody knows who's in that giant suit. They just showed up one day and started kicking all kinds of ass. The only reason the Firelights are still around is that we've never had to go up against The Tank."
Cue the Oppenheimer soundtrack.Which just reminded me of how a couple of weeks back I'd come up with an idea for a bomb where I'd take two big chunks of unrefined Hexgems and use some conventional explosives to ram them together super-fast. I wanted to crunch the numbers and see how that'd work, but I think if Jayce ever saw that math he'd have a heart attack.
My money is on Sevika being in the tank. There's no way Silco would think that Vi would be a reliable backup in a fight against Ekko and Jinx of all people."The Tank?" I whispered back.
"That's what we call them. Nobody knows who's in that giant suit. They just showed up one day and started kicking all kinds of ass. The only reason the Firelights are still around is that we've never had to go up against The Tank." Ekko answered. "What really matters is that they're Silco's number one enforcer."
As tempting as it would be to blast that smug smile off his face, I doubt we can take on the tank yet. Maybe if we had Fishbones instead of the Zapper.Silco smiled as he stepped forward, the expression more like a wolf that just spotted vulnerable prey than anything conveying human warmth. "I apologize for that unpleasant business." He nodded over at Deckard's corpse. "Now then, Miss Kiramman, Lady Crownguard, if I could have a moment of your time?"
But which would hurt Jinx more?My money is on Sevika being in the tank. There's no way Silco would think that Vi would be a reliable backup in a fight against Ekko and Jinx of all people.
+6 gets us to -6, so better than 50/50.Even with +6, aren't we rolling with -8, so basically certain to fail?
