About
Jenny and Ted discuss Plague 12.x.5 (bonus).
Episode Notes:
- It’s 10 minutes in before we tell you whose interlude this is
- We deliver our verdict on this instance of enemies-to-lovers(?)
- Jenny thinks that if Cauldron needs to call on reinforcements that fate has a loss in store for the Nine (and an ironic mission in store for Battery)
- Battery’s cop brain and total lack of commitment to her stated values
- A cautionary Tayl-or, if only she could read it
- Was either leap of faith taken here worthwhile? As annoying as it is, maybe
- Seems like the integrity problem extends all the way up to the top of the Protectorate, Legend
- Heroes without HR are just eoes
- Letting the sitcom trope play out does such a good job of riling up the reader
- Did Battery gift of the magi herself here? Get the power to beat Madcap at the cost of letting him get away?
- Ted really tried to give the ship the benefit of the doubt but then he remembered the likely age difference
- Wouldn’t it be nice to fly? Too bad we can’t afford it!
- We haven’t met any idle rich capes or business tycoon capes
- Where are all the business tinkers?
- Cauldron’s reach and aesthetics
- What’s Cauldron for?
- You can't be morally gray when you're creating Case 53s
- We want the Case 53 backstories
- The slippery slope of anonymity
- Who is this Doctor, really?
- We go on a vision quest with Battery… but was it a trigger event?
- Cauldron powers vs. "real" powers
- Samples and siblings
- Cauldron capes have a mindfulness advantage
- Does every voluntary Cauldron client make it out?
- Battery's battery of reasons for being a battery
- A long, slow self-kidnapping
- Batteries and magnets
- Worm getting global at last
- Where are all the nemeses we're hearing about?
- We contemplate our own enrollment as Cauldron clients
- Coil's Cauldron favor could be a tidy opportunity
- Oops, seems like Battery might end the world
