Book Five, Chapter 65: The Lineup
Now that we had decided we were using Antoine's rescue trope—and I say "we" very loosely—we could bring up some of the other players to join the talk since the subject of Antoine's mental health was no longer on the table.
Should we have kept that a secret from them? I had no idea. I was done thinking about it.
Cassie was now in one of the lounging chairs, doing her best to focus. "On a voice."
"No," she said, "voices. I think they're lovers quarreling. Two women. I hear growling. I can't tell what they're saying."
"How can you tell they’re lovers if you can't tell what they're saying?" Isaac asked.
"I'll tell you when you're older," Antoine said.
"One of them is very angry, but now all I hear is roars. I think it's the werewolves. I hear the word 'curse,'" Cassie said. "One of them is very angry at the other, but it's like I'm hearing them through a wall or something."
She was using her I'm Blocked trope, which allowed her to eavesdrop on the enemy, so to speak, until they eventually shut her out. So far, we hadn't gotten much content from the trope, but it still held its clues.
If we didn’t already know this was a werewolf storyline, we could probably guess from the way she was describing it. And the two women arguing were interesting, although I didn’t understand the context yet.
