Anju

tried to wash you down with something strong
But the taste of blood remains

The mothman hits the glass like a battering ram, spreading cracks that are illuminated by the moonlight, visible to Riya's eyes that translate to Anju through their bond. On its heels comes the command banana-phoned through from Koa, but this time Anju is the one to disobey willfully.

Assuming the telescope-room is already low-lit given telescope rules that Brit didn't have to Google she instead draws her bow, facing down the mothman from the inside, aware that her barrier is weakening by the second. Hoping it will be enough, she lets one fire-fueled arrow fly, hoping to shatter the glass and either pierce the moth on the other side, or bring the glass down - and remove the surface reflecting the firelight and the moon, leaving only the telescope's glass.

Regardless of whether she succeeds, she commands Riya to swoop along the outer edge of the glass (further from the mothman) to shoot gouts of flame across it to further weaken it and simultaneously make it sooty and prone to less reflection. Perhaps if she can get her sister inside, they can do the same with the telescope without having to sacrifice it or the building. But Anju will be staying inside - the Captain will go down with the ship this time if go down it must. She'll make fucking sure of it.

Riya shows Anju the breaking observatory glass, and Anju fires at it with her bow in the hopes of shattering it, hoping the removal of the glass will mean less reflection of light.

Riya flies along the outer edge to hit the glass with fire to either destroy it faster or cover it in sooty scorch marks.

Type: Dark | Style: Offensive | Level: Basic
Scorch Recurve | A bow infused with volcanic ash. A rich, dark colour, it is always warm to the touch. Any arrow drawn with the bow will ignite on release.

Cold, empty mattresses and falling stars
My, how they start to look the same
