I almost missed it in the gloom, but when I did spot it, it was almost impossible to ignore. On every patch of skin I could see in the Chosen’s group, scars and scratches had just barely healed over.
Ah yes. Shatterbird’s work… I wonder if Taylor will recognize that.
There were still faint indents and lines of pale skin that marked where the deep lacerations had been. The little scars made patterns across their skin, some spraying out from a single point, others running parallel to one another, going in the same direction like a snapshot of rainfall imprinted on their skin.
I guess that’s not really too far from what it is. It’s just from a different material.
With that many scratches and scars, they must have been hit hard.
They were, but as far as we know, all of that except for like one scar on Cricket was from one attack.
Faultline’s group was gathered to one side. Faultline, Newter, and the new member Shamrock wore more concealing costumes than their usual.
I guess that’s like with Taylor removing the glass from her costume – they’re trying to protect their bodies more from powers like Shatterbird’s or Burnscar’s (they might also be hiding their wounds from their previous encounter with her).
Faultline’s face was covered in a tinted visor, and her arms and legs were covered in opaque gloves and leggings.
I hope that visor isn’t made of glass. Faultline seems smart enough to avoid that, at least.
Labyrinth and Spitfire were fully decked out in their usual concealing robe and fire-retardant suits, respectively. Only Gregor showed skin.
He kinda has to for his power’s sake, but fortunately he’s somewhat resistant to at least some of the effects they’re protecting themselves against.
The barnacle-like growths of spiral shells that covered his skin had multiplied on one side of his body, until there was more shell than skin. The skin around it was crimson enough that it stood out in the gloom. It looked tender.
Huh. Apparently he does have some additional defense.
