I had my pepper spray. My knife and baton were available too, though I doubted my ability to dish out more hurt than I suffered in an exchange of hits with Burnscar.
Oh yeah, the pepper spray. Been a while since we saw that.
Grue had his darkness, and both of the remaining dogs were in okay shape. I had my bugs, but neither my costume nor my bugs would do well against the flame.
Once again, Taylor is up against an enemy with type advantage.
“I can still kill tall, dark and eerie and the alien girl,” Burnscar said.
Alien? Hm. It’s not a surprising comparison in itself, since Skitter’s mask does look alien, but it’s interesting nonetheless, as it sounds like Burnscar doesn’t know what Skitter’s thing is. I suppose that fits with how she seems a little ditzy with other things, like the rules. At least while she’s high on her power.
Anything the enemy doesn’t know can be used to your benefit, especially in a story with the theme of “knowledge is power”.
Also, I love that she calls Grue “tall, dark and eerie”. :p
