RE: Sublime Showdown (Round 1: Faerie)
Strings went taut and slack and taut again as Darling played the crowd like a violin. Switches flipped, props engaged, and that terrible rolling thunder of a voice swept over the assembled creatures. The timing was perfect. Therefore, Darling's unseen puppetmaster reasoned, any appearance of mistakes must be the fault of time itself.

In the depths of the mechanisms and trapdoors concealed in the darkness above, a gear clicked into place. A spring began to uncoil counterclockwise. Everything went backwards. Nobody noticed.

Click.

"[Image: jb1nb6.png]ou might not think she's much to look at, but where she comes from, she stops traffic."

Moving to the final jar, Darling gestured to the [Image: 2e1hiy8.png] winged humanoid frozen inside, posed in a menacing snarl above a foam facsimile of a soulless corpse. "And finally, we have Ikhinde," she croaked, pronouncing it "Ik-hend". "This form you see here is just the shell she's currently wearing; you see, Ikhinde is a body-swapping apparition that can move soul and flesh alike. Of course, she's got to keep hers intact to use the ability, and the other five are sure to make that difficult for her."

Darling m[Image: np2csw.png]y declined.

The pin holding the spring retracted and the coil snapped neatly back to its prior position.

And the show goes on.
