She stepped over the line, and immediately felt a resistance. It took her a second to figure out what it was – a thread caught the moonlight.
Whoops.
There was a muffled splashing sound, and a twelve-foot tall gorilla leaped from the nearest rooftop to land directly in front of her. It swung its arms wildly in front of it, missing her, then slammed both knuckles down in the water, crushing one side of the orange striped barrier. Flechette raised her arbalest to shoot, then stopped.
Well hello there, miss Traveler.
I guess Noelle wasn’t the name of the pseudo-shapeshifter after all, unless Coil’s reinforced door didn’t work out.
Or unless this is an actual zoo gorilla, but I’m pretty sure those don’t get twelve feet tall.
It wasn’t real. Damp cloth, stitched together. And it was blind. It wasn’t acting as though it could see her.
Ohhh. Looks like you found your target!
She dropped the arbalest, backed over the line, and then waited.
Parian arrived at a run, feet splashing in the water. She spotted Flechette, and the gorilla moved to place itself between the two of them.
Her creations can only see what she sees. They’re puppets.
That’s a bit of a weakness, but it makes sense. It’s not like she can just weave functional eyes.
Though maybe that wasn’t really obvious given the rest of what her power can do.
