"Yeah," says Eights.

Arianna grins a dragony grin.

"Is that a template thing?"

"Looks like!" says Anna.

Nathan laughs. "You're not the only template that does it, either."

Permalink

"Which other ones?" says Arianna.

"Jokers, most notably. I think the Bells who don't have those get their Sherlocks to help, although I don't think it's that extreme in those cases. Stella has Sandy working for her as a mint, I'm not sure whether in his case that's a template thing or an individual trait."

"Debatably a template thing," says Eights. "Chainsaw could swing that way, but he wasn't gonna try it while torturers were still a thing. Too easy for something to go wrong. Is it just me or are a lot of these people purple?"

Permalink

"You know what, all of those people are purple. Huh."

Permalink
"I wonder," says Eights, "if that is a thing."

"It sure looks like it," says Anna.
Permalink

"That seems like a weird thing for templates to cluster around!"

Permalink

"Does it?" says Eights.

Permalink

"Well, I don't have any better ideas, but yes, it does."

"I think I'll tell Glass," says Eights.

[I'm not sure if you've noticed, but it seems like purple people like pain more than green ones.]
Permalink

[That does seem to be a trend. It's not a perfect trend, though. Matildas are purple and as far as I know that's not a trait they have.]

Permalink

[I wouldn't know; I haven't met one.]

Permalink

[I'm going to finish sorting people, but after that there'll be a list generally available and we'll see what we can see.]

[All right,] she says agreeably.

Permalink

"What's the verdict?" inquires Nathan.

Permalink
"Definitely a thing, maybe not a thing one hundred percent of the time, she still hasn't sorted everybody," says Eights.

"I still don't see what's so weird about clustering around that," says Anna.

"Me neither."
Permalink

"Well, what would the greens be clustering around, non-masochism?"

Permalink

"There's not necessarily an opposite to every possible thing that some people can have in common," says Eights.

Permalink

"Well, it's just that there's only two kinds. If there were an entire rainbow it would make more sense, but a bifurcate division..."

Permalink

"I don't think it's the only difference, but it definitely seems to be a difference," she says. "Anyway, do we know for sure that every single person in every single universe is one of those two things? We only know it about people Glass has looked at so far, and that's not a lot, in comparison."

"Well, no, I suppose she's only checking the party attendees, but we weren't sorted for green-or-purple-moiety-membership ahead of time. She discovered this phenomenon today."

Eights shrugs.
