-Should I slow down so you can get a better shot?”

A mechanical bird that looks person-shaped, indeed. The shadow zooms past right quick, but it turned right back around, slowly coming into view.

And it’s…a woman in black-and-gold biomechanical armor, looking both robotic and organic at the same time. “Oh—hey. Saw the camera flash just then.-

…how would you go around doing that?

But I mean, pondering them together cumulatively forms an orb.

So…that means it’s the third time? But yeah, I indeed am.

Oh—in that case? Hell yeah. I mean, you’re frickin’ Wonder Woman.

Well, some are. Mostly half-orbs, but hey. Two halves make a whole orb.

I mean…you’re definitely super cool so there’s that! But it’s not like I know you personally, so that’s to be determined.

The orbs can be anything you want.

Even non orb-shaped objects.

It’s—oh. Yeah, probably for the best it’s not.

Ah—yeah, it is. Kinda gets unruly at times, which is why I keep it nice and tied.

“Okay—hang tight. I’ll bring ‘em over. Just uh…wait over here?” She’s pointing at the ground just under the fire escape.

“I’ll bring you something.” And off she goes climbing. There should be some leftover noodles and chicken she got the other day…

Holding her hands up. It looks gnarly and sounds even gnarlier…but at least it’s not attacking. So there’s that.

“See? Not gonna hurt you. You wanna find something to eat?” Making a gesture for eating, nice and slow.

Oh, crap. Yeah, that was probably obvious in hindsight.

“Hey, hey, it’s okay. It’s okay. Sorry about the light…off, see?” Turning the light off.

Who knows at this point, right? Either way, Skylar hasn’t connected the dots yet.

“I’m…looking for a dangerous creature. Probably a threat to you and your folk too. Yea high, banana-shaped head, loves stabbing things with the tail.”

Oh, that’s definitely horror movie material. “Hey, you…it’s okay, I’m not here to hurt you.” At least until she’s assessed the situation. Sliding the phone out to switch its flashlight on.
