In the Blood (novel): Difference between revisions

* [[Applied Phlebotinum]]: Not only do cloakers allow various members of [[The Masquerade]] stay [[Hidden in Plain Sight]], but it's [[Chekhov's Gun|how one of the Agents tracks Salla and Jaden to Thanatos' lair.]]

* [[Author Appeal]]: Why yes, I'm a bit of a furry. Why do you ask?

* [[Bio Augmentation]]: What Thanatos is using to beat death. {{spoiler|Salla's his guinea pig, and some of the stuff he's done is pretty creepy.}}

* [[Blind Seer]]: The old lady Bryant meets on his way out of the hospital. Just like in ''[[The Odyssey (Literature)|The Odyssey]]''.

* [[Early Bird Cameo]]: This was intended as a side story to my main books, which I'm still in the process of writing. As such, my main characters get involved. I also throw in a [[The Cameo|cameo]] for an OC of a friend's who might or might not show up in the main continuity.

* [[The Everyman]]: Bryant started out like this. [[Character Development|Then the story happens.]]

* [[Fridge Logic]]: {{spoiler|Why didn't Thanatos' homunculi use magic against the escaping [[Were Cat|werecats]]?}} [[Word of God|Answer:]] {{spoiler|Richter, the first homunculus to chase them, was a special case. Thanatos even alludes to it being semi-unique.}}

* [[Large Ham]]: Thanatos ''really'' plays it up in Book Two. Jaden even [[Lampshade Hanging|comments on it.]] Also counts as an example of [[Evil Is Hammy]].

* [[Not So Great Escape]]: {{spoiler|The escape attempt mounted by the protagonists at the end. It starts out nice, but [[It Got Worse|it gets worse]] when Salla's leg gets snapped by a particularly large homunculus.}}

* [[Now Let Me Carry You]]: Jaden all but says this at the end.

{{quote| '''Salla:''' "Oh, ''shit.''"}}

* [[Red Herring]]: Thanatos claims to have homunculi hidden in the Agency. We find out why this is impossible later.
