A shadow claw hovers over you— either to pick you up or to scrape your armor aside. Richard.
«I cannot work any faster.»
Positive thinking, then. The claw descends, then—
>[-1 ID: 10/16]
"Yow!"
—thins, jerks away. A light is coming from somewhere. From... you, from your chest, like you swallowed a yellow glorb. What meaning does the sun have? you asked Ellery. I don't know, he said. It just shows up when things get tough.
What meaning did you assign to it? Hope? Resurrection? Rebirth? Ramsey is testing several claws at once, but they can't get near. "Boy, you don't like making things easy," she says. She'll probably mosey over and chop you in half next, and it'd take a long, long time for Richard to fix that one. Hmm.
Maybe the sun means: all isn't lost yet. Positive thinking!
>Richard's doing his best, but he clearly can't repair Crown damage fast enough for it to matter. You'll have to get out of this situation yourself. What do you do? (All options will require a roll.)
>[1] Come on! This isn't real. The pain isn't real. Your bones aren't real. You can untwist yourself no problem— like you are rubber after all. [Advanced (Advanced) Gaslighting IV]
>[2] Who says you need this dumb body? This is your last day with it, anyways. Just shed your skin and emerge renewed. [The Red Stuff III]
>[3] You made a mistake. Reach back in time and find yourself before you made the mistake. Easy... though you do risk tipping your hand to Ramsey. [The Herald's Mind VII]
>[4] Your main problem is [WIND]— it's stuck in your strings. You're no string expert, but you can see them okay, so if you can identify the obvious interloper— and rip it out— you should be back to usual, right? [Fingerwork 0]
