Thanks for the chapter!! I was really hoping that with the return to the Underburbs they’d be able to find some kind of cure or treatment for Zhu, so Vex’s help sounds super promising

2025-02-23 02:55:04 +0000 UTCI didn't notice last week, but the rule of three holds true for Vex and her crew - and the baddies, it would seem. I wonder what James and co did differently that broke the mould? It can't justbe that his friend group was bigger than 3, or Sarah would have folded him in before the story started. And it's not a function of Officium Mundi, for the same reason. It's not the rescue from Karen, because Dave and JP were in before that. Was it Rufus? It was only Anesh and James, and then Secret entered the mix - limiting them to two. Then they told JP, Dave and Alanna all at the same time. So... Rufus did it right? That's the only thing I can think of.

I actually had meant to imply that they're the curse-assignment that JP got hit with during the long delve, which *was* a "no shoes in the building" kind of thing.

2025-02-22 08:40:07 +0000 UTCThat was a *mean* fakeout in the scene with Simon and Spire. It's hard enough knowing they lost someone, but thinking it was Alex the whole time, and offscreen no less... :'-( Also I enjoy that James doesn't even remember being the one to Incept Sartori into JP. I don't know if you actually ended up going with my suggestion in the comments of that chapter that the incepting command was "no shoes, no shirt, no service" but it's hilarous that even with super memory he doesn't remember being the...Inceptor? to JP's Inceptee. Or is it technically more like an Athena-style mental impregnation? Has Research looked into if the command-giver has an impact on an Assignment, or is it just the person being "Assigned"?
