The fallen knight had dropped his gear in falling, and if it could stop the shots that Donna had fired at them, it might be able to stop more than that.

Also, the magic here seems quite intent on undressing Amelie. Which is quite unnerving. Hah.

If we can get another mistaken gender flip directed at one of the seven passengers this will have all the makings of an anime.

@terminal -- It's hard to tell definitively from the layout of the latest post. Is the dimensional funkiness meant to be perceptible to anyone other than Donny and Amielle? My impression is that those were experienced only (or just primarily?) by the two characters affected.

I'm asking because if Luca was meant to perceive all that, I'd have to make some decisions about how/if the clockwork biotech would be affected. Reasonably speaking, they're, I mean, they're built on clocks, so if the clocks start going crazy, I need to address that somehow.

No comment. If such information was available, it was likely obfuscated by an aspect of the narration.

@Terminal

Blood and Ashes I just tripped and stumbled into the Dark Souls of writing. What are you?

<Snipped quote by Aeonumbra>
You shall know me by my many signs and symbols.

My nature shall be unsounded from vacuous truths. My essence rendered from a mill of worlds. My heart tendered through malign bargaining with an odoriferous and invidious rhino. The nebulous courses of my pretense can be distilled using the seeds of Amaranthus Caudatus. My vestiges may be salvaged from the severed fingers of a bidental priest caught in the wiring of a burnt piano. My foibles subsumed in common geodes, unearthed, stolen, then buried. My husk sewn through the commingling of many councils of winged centipedes.

Alternatively, I may be induced to appear via sketchy promises of gift cards.

All she could and had ever done was change the relative objective measure of the Four Pillars.
