Maybe, but I see them all as mature enough to not let that effect them whilst the whole world is being destroyed.This is the question that improves the numbers. With the Riley/Theo/Missy love triangle safely resolved, it doesn't tear them apart at a critical moment, and thus more lives are saved.
OMG YES BEST DAY EVER. Brb getting this tattooed on me.Needs some editing and cleaning up. But, yeah, this is pretty much exactly what happened.
Congrats, your first gets to be canon.
Dinah is the Contessa for a new generation.Shit, Dinah was wearing a suit this whole time? Fuck, that's adorable.
What would make it perfect was if the gryphon had a little matching bowtie.Dinah is the Contessa for a new generation.
DocMom: "I remember Fortuna's first suit. It was similarly adorable."
While I know it's not as common, can't a threesome refer to a love-triangle instead of group sex? If so, "two or more people in this room will participate inathreesomewitheachother" is already true. Possibly twice over.
The five and a bit percent of it not happening is just the chance that they all die or end up hating each other.
"What's the worst that could happen?" said Missy as she fired up the cloning tank.I wonder if we could use our cloning tech to bring back Jack Slash. Being covered in acid and drowned in cockroaches was nowhere near a horrible enough death for that twisted bastard.
There's a joke to be made there, but I'm above it. I'm not above making the metajoke, though.
I wonder what he thought of Superman Returns?"No," Trevor insisted. "You keep showing us these dumb ass movies from Aleph. That last one was utterly retarded. Alien invaders is cool and all, but why the fuck would anyone be dumb enough to terraform a planet that gives their entire species all the powers of Alexandria and Legend combined? Don't get me started on the parts that can be summed up as the single most poorly written Jesus allegory in the history of storytelling."
Aren't the Aleph movies better than Earth-Bet? Because of the whole... actual infrastructure and whatnot?"The whole point of watching Aleph movies is to laugh at how shitty they are," Zach argued. "That's what makes them fun. That and all those companies we've never heard of that pay for their businesses to be the ones that get blown up in the fighting. Truly, they are geniuses of product placement. Besides, this next movie's by a really good director. The guy who did Pan's Labyrinth. You all liked that one, didn't you?"
Dinah, thinking: Threesomes are when three or more people go out to eat, right?"Ninety four point seven seven three," the girl answered.
We all fell silent.
So Missy now knows the root cause of her respect issue and can start figuring out how to get around it. Which, given that she currently possesses one of the nastier superweapons in the world, is probably a good thing.Oh god, she is so adorable in her tiny little business suit trying to act all grown up! I paused for a second. Oh. Is this what everyone thinks when they look at me? No wonder the adults never take me seriously.
She can definitely answer a question that isn't what the asker MEANT but is a valid interpretation of their words. See what happened with Tagg - he asked if the cafeteria showdown would bring Skitter in, Dinah gave very good odds. She just neglected to mention that she gave the numbers for the cafeteria showdown EVENTUALLY leading to Skitter's capture, not the numbers for her being captured there, and certainly not the numbers for her being captured there and Tagg surviving and breaking the Undersider's grip on BB.The question is not which meaning is "more common", but which meaning Dinah would understand more naturally. Her power is conceptual, it depends on her own assumptions and the way her conscious mind asks the question from her shard. If she were naive enough to be oblivious to the word's more... worldly meaning, then it would be possible.
OTOH, while Dinah can't lie about her numbers, it has never been made clear whether she can intentionally misinterpret their intent. Probably not.

Pretty sure she can. From when Taylor turned herself in, I think they called in Dinah and she threatened to lie.OTOH, while Dinah can't lie about her numbers, it has never been made clear whether she can intentionally misinterpret their intent. Probably not.
But here she isn't really threatening to mislead them, just with gving herself a backlash by breaking her power's rules that explicitly forbid her to lie. For example, even if she is physically able to vocalize a false number, she couldn't ever really mislead Coil, if it was immediately obvious that her previous answer gave her brainfreeze.Pretty sure she can. From when Taylor turned herself in, I think they called in Dinah and she threatened to lie.
Edit: Here we go:
"I do," Dinah replied. "But I'm not telling. And I'm charging ten times as much if you ask me for a number, and then I'll lie, and I won't be able to use my power for a while after. And your bosses don't want that. Not with an Endbringer coming soon."
Of course, we don't actually get proof that she can lie, but she says she can.
Yeah, I get that, but this is still unlikely to be Dinah being manipulative. She normally doesn't get a conscious visual of her results, so she didn't just "neglect" to describe the circumstances, she didn't know them any more than Tagg did. If she could just pick between multiple "valid" interpretations of a question, then when Coil asks "Chances that I die before lunch", she could just give a reply based on telling herself that counting yesterday's lunch as the reference point is totally valid.She can definitely answer a question that isn't what the asker MEANT but is a valid interpretation of their words. See what happened with Tagg - he asked if the cafeteria showdown would bring Skitter in, Dinah gave very good odds.

"Eh, I can take him.""What's the worst that could happen?" said Missy as she fired up the cloning tank.
She says, outright, that she'll lie... That's pretty specifically really threatening to mislead them.But here she isn't really threatening to mislead them, just with gving herself a backlash by breaking her power's rules that explicitly forbid her to lie.
I might be remembering wrong, but wasn't it Zach, Emma, and Vicky that had the little love-triangle thing going? Where'd Crystal come in?
Who says she can't lie about her numbers? It was just lying to Coil was a Bad Idea.OTOH, while Dinah can't lie about her numbers, it has never been made clear whether she can intentionally misinterpret their intent. Probably not.
"Not in the way you're hoping for," I admitted. "We can install memories of things that are Taboo, but that won't allow you to remember new Taboo information, nor will it allow retain new memories of Taboo information you might pick up in the future.
No, that's pretty much the opposite of misleading.She says, outright, that she'll lie... That's pretty specifically really threatening to mislead them.
Lower than Chubster?Finally someone remembers who Prism was. I think she has the lowest staring of any character in a Worm fanfic,
Yeah, you're right. She can't mislead them, she can't lie.
She does, in Interlude 11f.Who says she can't lie about her numbers? It was just lying to Coil was a Bad Idea.
So if she faked, she'd be out of it for days or weeks."I want you to look at a future where we survived, and I want you to tell us what happened."
"No. Please," she begged.
"Now, pet."
"Why is she so against this?" Trickster asked.
"Headaches," Dinah answered, pressing her hands to her head, "It breaks my power. It takes days, sometimes weeks before everything is sorted out and working again. Headaches the entire time, until everything is sorted out, worse headaches if I try to get numbers in the meantime. Have to be careful, can't muddle things up. Can't lie about the numbers, can't look at what happens, or it just becomes chaos. Safer to keep a distance, to make and follow rules. Safer to just ask the questions and let things fall into place."
It's an old one.
Which author do you mean?
Missy was mainly concerned over Riley, as was Theo. Riley was torn between her Tinker nature and her f oray into self pity. Something that was occurring more frequently than ever, of late. Tinker productivity loss alone could account for a number change.
My money is on Theo,Riley and...Trevor. i call this ship Thermal Response Test OR TRT.i don't think it's much of a threesome and more of a Non-monogamous relationship.I think that the three-some will not happen for a while, but when it does it will be between Missy, Theo and Riley.
You just caused me to imagine Zach serenading himself with Whitney Houston's "You Give Good Love".Guys.
Stop thinking inside the box.
These are the world leaders in cloning.
Who says Zach can't have a threesome all by himselves?
