I love this new trend of bang being the voice of reason to all the sparks
Bang should...not get a super soaker, unlimited refills, and amnesty, but only because I know she'll enjoy it more if she steals it, and thinks she's getting away with stuff.
Once again thinkin about ot3s inlaw situation. They should have a dinner party
They really should.
oh god oh god oh god oh god
They should have a dinner party where they aren't there and it's just the in-laws.
Absolutely no sharp pointy objects are allowed at the table, or within 100 meters of the table.
Actually it's more of a sippy cup party.

So Violetta's just doing a casual headcount of everyone as they filter in.
Like Adam and Lilith are putting Maxinia into a highchair; a recently returned Barry is glancing around, probably trying to figure out which deeply uncomfortable discussion should be started first; Zeetha's over there watching her parents Not Talk to each other. Anevka's already sitting at the table, also watching everyone. Probably trying to decide who she wants to poke into starting something first.
And then Seffie walks in with with her plus-one,...
...Who is in fact not Colette Voltaire, but Martellus.
And Violetta just knows, in the depths of her heart, that there's no way that their Ridiculously Overpowered Triumvirate is actually coming to this. The OT3 is probably just going to chill in the master suite, occasionally checking a feed from a few hidden Dingbots to see if they need to send in the Jägers to interrupt a murder attempt.
Violetta immediately begins plotting retaliation against Tarvek for leaving her to deal with this all evening.
All of this, only adding: Lucrezia is still a crystal ball on a pedestal. Most of the food is actually for throwing at her.
What about Terebithia? Was Terebithia invited, or did she just show up anyway?
Lu is actually the first person to try and start any kind of conversation with the rest of the table. Zantabraxus stares at her for about thirty seconds, before solemnly angling her cutlery to start launching peas at the globe.
calmingpi: #terebithia would be invited imo#but also tbh my biggest question would be interactions between agatha&anevka gil&violetta and tarvek&zeetha#i just think it would be neat!#also there should be an obligatory babysitting episode where someone has to babysit max#because its a cute idea#BUT ANYWAY#we should all throw dinner rolls at martellus#where is theo in all of this also
Ooh, the OT3 looked at the pre-meal tension, used the lantern to freeze everyone while they grabbed Maxinia, and then left to spend the whole dinner playing with her instead. It seems kind of irresponsible to leave a kid in something that's going to dissolve into violence that obviously, after all.
Theo brought Sleipnir as his plus one. she helped him steal all of the drinks and he somehow rigged up a mini chemistry setup around his seat. He's trying to create an alcohol that can enter someone's system via skin contact. It'll be tested by throwing some at Martellus' face.
if she came, Terebethia is deeply regretting it. Unfortunately, the doors have already been 'barred' by a bunch of Jägers.
Bang should be there. Either Gil decided she counted as his sister, Zeetha chose her as a plus one for the LOLs/to spare Higgs, or she crashed the party.
It didnt even occur to me higgs would be there 😭
Oh wow, this got better while I wasn't looking.
Absolutely obsessed with bangs boot knife in his nose im sorry. The complete lack of interest in it too
Sibling: NO one does it like bang. No one does it like bangladesh dupree. Shes so fucking good. Shes that joke about going through a metal detector and having to dump out piles of knives from her clothes. I dont even GO here
That one scene in The Matrix where the big leather coat is full of guns. Except knives. So many knives.
If you'd told me back in Volume 2 how much I was going to love her, I flat-out would not have believed you.
...but boy, am I glad I'm all the way over here where she is not.
Rude Bang! LIke this is maybe not the time for a full speculation but still!!
If I've learned anything from Star Trek, it's that a very important captain strategy is to NOT let your engineers explain why it can't be done. Tell them what you need them to do.
Don't give them time to talk about "laws of physics". Mention pointedly and loudly that the ship is exploding. (Bonus points if the ship really is exploding. Engineers hate it when their ship explodes.) Really emphasize how important it is that the engineers do the thing. Offer to let them brag about it later.
Generally they will do the thing.
