the 39 clues posting

[operation-cahill]

hello! this is a sub blog of @cobrabitch :)

the 39 clues is my special interest, so while my main account is for more personal 39 clues stuff and fanfic things, this is for t39c lore!

(i'll be editing this post to add a tag guide)

"When Ian and Natalie returned to London after the Clue hunt, they assumed they'd have to live as fugitives. Their mother was in police custody, but they'd still have to answer to their father and the rest of the Lucian branch. No one would understand what had happened on the island. After five hundred years of Lucian scheming, plotting, and sacrifice, Ian and Natalie had let the final Clue slip through their fingers.

However, hours after Isabel was arrested, Vikram Kabra chartered a plane to Brazil to avoid questioning. The top Lucians in London also went into hiding before the police could associate them with Isabel's crimes.

With Isabel in prison and Vikram in hiding, there was no one to run the family's multimillion-pound art dealership. Ian stepped in and began meeting with high-profile clients around the world. Despite his young age, they were struck by his charm, and Ian soon discovered his speciality - convincing very rich old ladies to buy extremely ugly paintings that no one else wanted.

He's currently trying to get Jonah Wizard to take him on a tour of the Janus stronghold in Venice. He's not interested in stealing any Clues, but he's eager to visit the secret art gallery - there could be a Picasso small enough to hide in his jacket."

Who is Sophie Watson?

Two pages. There are only two pages where Sophie Watson is mentioned in the entire 39 Clues franchise (including the online games), and yet she's fairly well known - she has her own card and two fanfictions where she's featured.

Below the cut will be: a summarized character description, the fanfiction list, the Madrigal transcript from The Black Book of Buried Secrets, and an image of Card 151.

WHO IS SOPHIE WATSON? - Lived in London, England (likely born there) - Janus agent, born to two high ranking Janus - Enjoys (experimental) fashion and dance (which leads Natalie to make fun of her) - Speaking of Natalie, she was sent to the Flyte School (unsure if that's the correct name) in London to spy on Natalie Kabra

WHERE IS SOPHIE WATSON? - "Of Blood and Birthright" by hptriviachamp on Ao3 (also posted on fanfiction.net), where Sophie is a side character - "cross my heart and hope to spy" by izzietaylor on Ao3, where Sophie is the main character, and there's a slight romance with Natalie.

WHAT IS SOPHIE WATSON DOING?

---START--- [sound of a bell ringing followed by locker doors slamming] SOPHIE: Hey. You came back. NATALIE: [overly cheery] Oh, yes. We were yachting in the Caribbean. It was so lovely. [pause] SOPHIE: I know what happened to your mother...I'm sorry. NATALIE: [startled] What? Are you talking about the-I mean, how would you know about any of that? SOPHIE: If you had spent less time applying lip gloss, you might have noticed that I've been spying on you for the Janus. NATALIE: You're a Cahill? I suppose I should have known. Only a Janus would wear such ridiculous outfits. [pause] So...everyone knows, then? What happened in Ireland? SOPHIE: Sort of. I think. Cora sent a strange e-mail around. I heard my parents talking about it. Everyone's furious at Jonah. They feel like five hundred years of worth all went to waste. NATALIE: [softly] The Lucians aren't that, um, happy either. SOPHIE: I think you did the right thing. NATALIE: Thanks. [pause] This is the first time I've chosen a back-to-school outfit without my mum. I suppose I have to get used to it. SOPHIE: Picking your own clothes? NATALIE: Making my own decisions. [rest of conversation obscured by bell and hallway noise]. ---END--- -The Black Book of Buried Secrets, page 74

WHAT DOES SOPHIE WATSON LOOK LIKE?

Card 151 - Agent: Sophie Watson. "Everyone at school knows that Sophie Watson and Natalie Kabra are enemies, but they assume it's because Natalie likes to wear fur to Sophie's animal rights club meetings. No one realizes that Sophie and Natalie belong to rival branches of the Cahill Family. Natalie is pretty mean to Sophie at school. However, she has no idea that Sophie's been spying on her and passing information to the Janus. Her behavior may not exactly fit with the school's honor code, but Sophie's willing to bend the rules when ultimate power is at stake. She's not looking for the Clues herself, but she knows she wouldn't want to live in a world where Natalie Kabra—or her even scarier mother is in charge." Found in Card Pack 3.

Perhaps headcanons, fun facts, theories; idk what the difference is between lore and personal posting ngl
