MABEL
Mabel came in on the fringes and hinges of silence. Quiet, taking her seat, giving and granting a listening ear. She’d been all for the defensive procedures, of finding a use for the Spire besides its current intricacies, of imagining bolts of lightning striking at their enemies.
The hows and whys and whens hadn’t actually come into the picture in her mind. So as the notions were addressed, the youth stared, blinked, and listened. Would it be more beneficial for any of them to be able to control the switch? Would that lead to more issues – on those perhaps willing and able to fire at anyone and anything? For a moment, she hemmed and hawed, pondering the complexities of the situation. She’d sit on her hands for an instant, gathering more stratagems and possibilities from others too.

I bare my teeth
and stretch my claws out
