I gathered my bugs, directing them her way.

Wait.

Are you sure that’s actually her?

“Wait!”  Tattletale cried out.

Once again, this Arc is named in a way that implies traps.

I turned to see her stagger.  I whipped around to see Bonesaw.  She was whirling around in response to Tattletale’s shout, her eyes wide.  There was a chain stretching from her wrist to the base of the window.

Yeah, that ain’t Bonesaw.

Not Bonesaw.  Decoy.

Which of course raises the question: Where is the real Bonesaw?

Tattletale crashed to the ground, followed soon after by Trickster.

I think the answer might be “too close for comfort”.

Sundancer and Ballistic crashed to the ground a second later. 

This is bad. This is really, really bad.

“Why won’t you go down!?”  The voice was petulant.

Hm, interesting. Is Skitter somehow immune to whatever way Bonesaw is doing this?

I followed the voice and saw one of the corpses move, rising to its feet.  Bonesaw unzipped the covering of dead flesh she’d covered herself in and shucked it off.

Ahaha, nice disguise!

She was wearing a yellow sundress and yellow rubber boots with a short blue jacket, but her hair and each article of her clothing were stained dark brown with the blood that had been on the corpse.

It’s probably a wonder you can even see that they used to be yellow and blue.

A small tube was in one of her hands, “I shot you with three darts!  It’s rude!”

Ah, yeah, darts that couldn’t penetrate the costume did actually cross my mind. I’m not sure why I didn’t write it.

Better not allow the temporary changes to the costume to reveal any skin, or turn the back of your head towards Bonesaw.

Also I love that Bonesaw thinks it’s “rude” to not go down when being darted. Best antagonist, hands down. 😛
