    “that should be cavalry, but with Sal”

    “Salvalry?”

      But AG’s not tagged; this is Amber facing Sal. For Amber this night is basically All the Nightmares and she’s running on several nights of virtually no sleep, at least two major battles’ worth of injuries, and severe emotional trauma. I’m afraid she will fall down in the middle of the street and vapor lock at this point.

          Amber said some things during the fight, but there was no sign Sal picked up on it. Or am I forgetting something from afterwards?

          I don’t think anyone in universe can tell at a glance. The people who know what’s going on still need to ask who’s driving in situations where it’s not blatantly obvious.

            My point is that I don’t Sal even knows to ask. Unless I’m missing something, Walky’s the only one we know knows for sure. Danny’s been seen struggling with the concept and no one else has shown any awareness of it.

        You could make the argument that while Blaine is a shittier person than Malaya, he also causes conflict which makes the comic more interesting to read. Malaya on the other hand is just generally unpleasant but she doesn’t really push the story forward that much.

          I mean, Blaine has no good in-universe reason for being in the story, so he has to have an agenda that motivates him to show up and cause trouble.

          Malaya, on the other hand, is around because she’s a student in the same classes and friend groups, so there’s no need to provide her with further motivation. (Mary is the same way. Ryan also, but fuzzier.)

          I mean, imagine if Blaine was, like, a janitor for the university and then subtract his motivations. Like, say Amber got a scholarship or something. Then he’d just be this annoying background character making snide shitty-parent remarks in random hallways: equally shitty human, but little to no plot relevance.

        Malaya is a jerk to be a jerk. She’s somehow a less interesting Mike. At least his assholeness was eventually couched into pushing people towards improvement. Not a grand quality but he’s a Force ghost now so whatever.

        I’d rather see Blaine than Malaya eight days of the week.

      She’s probably got a RUTTECH drone in position over Blaine’s van already.  All she has to do is give it the command, and it generates a tightly-focused, short-range electro-magnetic pulse that incapacitates the engine.

        Attach some kind of Ruttech GPS tracker to the van so they can track it without getting killed.

        Or so the EMP drone can follow it autonomously.

      Carla “recovering” the Amazi-Tracker on Sal’s phone seems like an ample fulfillment of the “tech genius plot device” function for this early in the morning. When did the Amazi-Tracker last show up…?

        She probably just tagged along like Malaya, but on the other side.

        If Sal’s going to haul all her friends around she might as well get a Goldwing, then there’s plenty of room for everyone. I can’t imagine getting pulled around at 30+ MPH on a skateboard is very stable; one rock or pothole and you’re on a one-way trip to Road Rash City.

        I think the point of the Hobbits doing it was they were so small and humble that they could, indeed, “simply walk into Mordor.” If Eagles flew there, they would absolutely draw Sauron’s attention and fail.

        It was a partial exaggeration, but I doubt he’s respecting traffic laws and last we saw of his vehicle it was already over the horizon. Sal has a fast bike but finding him in the first place is the issue. Every moment that passes he gets farther away and it’s been at least a few.

        The one time in my life I called 911, they didn’t. even. answer. I sat on the phone for at least 5 minutes (based on the timer on my cell, not just that it felt that long) and no one picked up! Thankfully the situation was resolved reasonably peacefully, albeit only after someone got threatened with a tire iron, apparently. (Note, I was witnessing the scene from a distance and did not personally see this part, this was related by another bystander)

      He JUST got out of sight. There’s almost no way he’s out of the county YET and if he is that’s MORE reason to follow him so they can report a location to their friends so they don’t just shrug and say ‘Iunno’ when the police get there and want to know where Blaine is.

      And the police can’t teleport. They were only called once it looked like Blaine was subdued because that was the earliest time the hostages could call them and AG chose not to when she was freed earlier because she was worried about corrupt cops on the mob’s dime.

        I was kinda exaggerating some of my comment for comedic effect. I don’t actually think Blaine is in the next county. I’m more wondering how they are gonna track him since he is out of sight now.

        The cops? Eh, I don’t know. My comment was meant to be at their expense but I guess logically it’s been a little bit of time. Dorothy said they’d arrive “shortly” which is vague enough. They did have a whole hostage situation and conversation with Blaine before he escaped but who knows how long that really took. A couple minutes? I’d say at least 60 seconds but it’s still believable cops haven’t shown up yet. This isn’t a story about cops saving the day anyway.

          Okay, that’s fair. I didn’t get the comedic effect. That’s my bad.

          Yeah, I’ve seen some people wondering with varying degrees of seriousness why the police aren’t here yet – to the point I’ve seen some question whether they were actually called. Sometimes it seems people have high expectations for what emergency vehicles can actually do. When I was younger my mom called an ambulance for me and it took so long even the 911 operator was freaking out going ‘WHERE THE FUCK ARE THEY’. Sometimes it really does take quite a bit.

      The part where the whole dorm doesn’t rally to stop a kidnapping? That’s by far one of the MOST believable parts. I’m actually kind of surprised Malaya bothered to show.

      “Yeah, sure, I’ll just drop everything to help stop a kidnapper or whatever. Because that’s realistic.”
      “Get real, it’s mid-terms today. And I’m already sleepy, since some loser pulled the fire alarm at 4AM.”
      “What do you want me to do, chase down the kidnapper and beat them up? It’s not like I have the training to do anything useful.”
      “I barely even know those losers anyway.”
      “Someone else will help, try calling the cops.”

      Let’s say a virus that is deadly to some people was going around, had already killed more people than major wars and there was a call to wear masks. Everyone would charge over to help right?

      “Wearing masks is inconvenient, I don’t want to.”
      “I don’t want to stay inside!”
      “What about my important freedoms?”
      “Life free or die! Also, I won’t wear a mask or quarantine.”
      “I SAID the people who die are heroes, I did my part.”

    “Sal… I don’t know if I am Amazi-Girl anymore.”

    “Good; she was trouble. So, is Amber willin’ to do what it takes to save her friends?”

    That aside, I think that riding pillion on Sal’s bike is the biggest thrill Carla ever had. Previously, she only dreamed of being cool; now she knows what it feels like!

      Carla will be, always is, and always was cool. And she knows it. If she’s dreamed of being cool it was not as a juxtaposition to her normal life, but rather as the development of her next escapades.

      Thing about being cool, is that it’s like being the one in the Matrix. You can’t think you are, you just know you are, “balls to bones.” And it’s not something that actually cool people express or worrt about.

    I’m still not sure HOW Sal is going to help… Even if she catches up to the van, what do they do next? They can’t physically stop the vehicle (PLEASE don’t try ramming the van with your motorcycle. That can only end badly), so the most they could do is tail it to see where Blaine is going, after which they call the police, but then we’re back to that same “a bunch of black teens are acting suspicious and hassling a white guy!” scenario that Sarah was afraid to get into.

      She could jump onto the roof, have a gun/kick-fight with Blaine which causes truck to run off the road with Blaine unconcious on the ground and a victorious Joyce rising from the ruins proclaiming “AGAIN!”

      I think Sal is expecting a long chase followed by Amber jumping onto the top of the van from the pillion and somehow disabling it. Or at least something else suitably stereotypically superheroic. However, I’m not sure that is what Willis is aiming for.

      FWIW, I’m still thinking that Joyce will be able to save herself (or, at least, make a good enough try to crash the van). My gut makes me feel that Amber will get hurt saving Faz and Joyce from the wreck but that Blaine’s story will end there alongside the superheroic persona that he was a major part of creating.

        Joyce being in, apparently, a panic attack is the only reason I think Blaine managed to get her into that van. The bad news is, those can last a while. (Especially since the kidnapping’s only gotten worse and her body’s probably finally catching up with the last four hours.)

        If she comes out of it enough, I think she’ll be able to be more trouble than she’s worth to Blaine. But that’s a bit of an ‘if’, right now.

          She attacked him and next thing we saw he was heading outside, with her held restrained. I don’t think a panic attack was necessary. He simply overpowered her.
          Ballpeen is apparently much more dangerous in a fight than Blaine was, even now that he’s hurt.
