The shippers just found themselves in a bit of a triangle (dun dun duuun!)
Robot arms don't count
Depends how many fingers they have.
They always count.
Vee the flirt!
Is she really that technical though? Are we going to have Lei slipping her notes via increasingly ridiculous methods to explain mechanical workings throughout the date?
She's a gadget-user, so she has at least some idea what she's talking about.
Please. Ms Cunningham's inventions are far superior to Ms Feng's crude mechanicals.
I'm sure she is. She made her wrist dart shooters and those little smoke bomb things, for one.
She uses a wrench for a hairpin, too. That suggests a certain familiarity, at the least.
I can't remember anything in the comic that proves it one way or another, cause you'd need to make an apples-to-apples comparison of things they've built. But people only have so many skill points right? Vee thus far seems to be a hunter who has gadgets. Lei is formerly a supervillain who has robots. The conventions of fiction seem to support your head canon Phil.
And thus, it becomes my head canon.
Vee could just have more skill points.
I was quoting Ms Cunningham
In the 3rd person XD naturally
Ah. So that's what Lei needed to tune up.
...their microphones? 'Cause we can't hear them, at all.
I hope Lei didn't overhear you dissing her work, Verity.
Also, when Verity isn't being outfoxed by Harry Barber (don't tell her I wrote that) or stressed out by Deadlies, she can do some pretty good work, as we see with her "infiltrating" the Pryce circle by building a connection with Patience.
Ugh, dammit Verity, why do you have to be so actually competent at your job?
The substitution trunk effect is one of my favourites that i don't know the workings of {though i have suspicions}.
Is this a real version of the trick? I think this must be done via a sliding panel to get in and out of the box, on the rear face of it. There seems to be enough space between the box and the curtain behind it for someone to get in and out.
this is a real version of the trick, yep! I modified a little of it to make it fit into 6 panels, but it works with the method.
And Vee finds an in. Well played thus far.
How does Verity do it?
(By being incredibly herself, mostly.)
