All Along Watchtower
CharacterAll Along Watchtower is the Stand of Cannolo Murolo in the novel Purple Haze Feedback. Bound to a deck of playing cards, it turns each card into a small, living doll, forming a troupe of fifty-three spies ideal for slipping unseen through enemy lines.
Overview
All Along Watchtower belongs to Cannolo Murolo and appears in the novel Purple Haze Feedback. Roughly ten centimeters in size, it is tied to a deck of cards and gives each one a doll-like, sentient form, arranged in a pecking order where figures such as the King, Queen, and Jack outrank the rest. Calling themselves the Watchtower Troupe, the cards delight in circus stunts like stacking into a pyramid, generally getting along while bickering now and then.
Mechanics
The Stand's purpose is espionage. Its cards can shadow a target unnoticed and never alert them, then carry what they learn back to Cannolo. To mask this, he passes the Stand off as a rowdy fortune-telling act, as though merely reading the future. The cards operate independently and use their paper-thin shape to gather intelligence or carry out quiet assassinations while staying out of sight.
In a direct fight the Stand is weak and unsuited to confronting most opponents, but its stealth and reach make it perfect for surveillance. Because it is spread across fifty-three separate cards, any harm meant for Cannolo is split among them first, so he absorbs only one fifty-third of the damage aimed at him.
