“Your call,” Trickster said. “Three, two, one!”
Grue leaped from the edge of the roof. In that same instant, Trickster swapped him with Shatterbird.
Hm, I suppose that might at least cause Shatters to hit the wall. Or get turned around, depending on how this works.
Wait, what if Trickster were to teleport her out of her costume? The costume is how she’s flying, so that would result in her falling towards the ground.
Also Grue would end up in a pretty glass dress on top of his regular costume (Trickster can’t teleport Grue out of his costume because he doesn’t have line of sight to Grue’s skin, making it an uneven swap where Grue would have both outfits), so that’s neat. It might be upside down, too.
She tumbled for a second, got a grip with her flight, and then steadied.
Aw.
So why did plan A require her to be ahead of the other two?
Then Regent hit her with his power.
Oh! Range considerations!
Shatterbird flew into the corner of the roof, was thrown off-balance and tipped into the gap between buildings.
Hell yes.
Wait, how is moving her body involuntarily affecting her flight, considering she’s using her brain to do that? Did Regent mess with the nerves in her brain? Can he do that?
