The knife cut the girl more than it cut me. I could feel it raking across the exterior of my costume, failing to penetrate, but he was swinging it underhand, and it caught me in the chin, slicing through the side of my cheek and up to my temple.
Ouch.
I tried to keep a hold on the girl for the sake of using her as a human shield, but I saw her reach into her dress and withdraw some vials.
Oh jeez, what does she have now? More stuff to put in the water?
I shoved her toward Jack, then stepped forward to kick her square between the shoulder blades. She collided with him, interrupting his follow-up swing.
You’ve got some nice moves here, Taylor!
For good measure, I drew the bugs from beneath my costume and sent them chasing after her. Some capsaicin-laced bugs, just the few I had remaining.
Awesome. I’m not sure how well that’s gonna work – Bonesaw has a history of not giving a flying feather about the bug stings – but at least it reduces visibility for the Nine and increases Taylor’s sensory abilities.
Jack caught her shoulders and spun her around so she faced me. The vials were already billowing with a chemical reaction.
Uh oh.
Hm. Would she do the same thing she did in Dolltown again, to ward off the bugs?
Or is this gonna be something new? That seems more like Bonesaw.
She threw them at me.
I backed away, and they hit the ground between our two groups, black smoke joining the crimson mist around us.
If it were the same thing she wouldn’t throw them. Probably best to stay clear of the smoke if you can.
