“Oh my god,” she murmured.  “You’re…”

Hm? Heavy? Or is this a reaction to Taylor being unsteady?

Or maybe whatever just happened with Taylor, seeing multidimensional beings and whatnot, had an outwardly visible effect on her?

Had I given myself away?  I hadn’t used that many bugs.

No, it was something else.  I could tell from the flies I’d placed on her head that she was looking up.

Hm… but didn’t you just place a bunch of bugs above you? I trust you when you say it’s something else, but I wouldn’t assume that based on this.

Her attention turned to me, then Lisa, and then back to the higher object.  I forced my eyes open, controlling my movement and my breathing to reduce the threat of nausea, and saw she was looking at Skidmark’s platform.

…alright, what’s that doing above them? Did they accidentally move much closer to it while fighting?

Skidmark was slumped against the railing, struggling to his feet.

Woah. You okay, there, buddy?

…how are the other parahumans looking? Is this motion sickness happening to all of them? We did see Lisa slumped over a bit too, which I thought was from having been attacked.

Squealer, Mush, Trainwreck and their other subordinates weren’t faring much better.

Seems like it. So did all of them see the beings?

Dammit, I need a temporary name for them. I’ve painted myself into a corner by using Karahindiba specifically for the one Hana saw, and now I’m forced to just call them multidimensional beings unless I make up a name for them.

How about tesseractids?
