I didn’t see the need to dodge – the shots weren’t fast moving, and both seemed ready to collide with the walls on either side of me. What I didn’t expect was for their trajectory to slow, then stop altogether, before they hit the wall. Picking up speed, they headed back toward Kid Win.
…huh. Boomerang shots?
Better be careful about how you dodge them.
“Heads up!” I shouted. Imp and Regent turned just in time to avoid the boomeranging projectiles, but the distraction nearly cost them as the guns above Kid Win’s shoulders blasted off another two ‘sparks’.
It seems like Imp appearing just now involves her turning off her power, since Taylor is having no trouble remembering her from moment to moment, but I don’t see why. Isn’t being shot at a good reason to make the shooter forget you?
“What the hell!?” Imp shouted. The returning sparks had fallen into a lazy orbit around Kid Win. Two, then four, then six sparks orbited him, with more joining the mass. As the seventh and eighth sparks joined the ring that spiraled around Kid Win, arcs and flashes of electricity began to dance between them, making it into a loose ring that encircled him. He advanced a few steps.
Electrons. Eight for a full outer circle. Although the first circle only has room for two, which the allusion here seems to be ignoring.
