Marianne cursed when the thugs lept out of the trash piles - she figured there wouldn't be some kind of welcoming committee.  And with all of them chained up like this, it didn't seem likely that they would survive for long.<br/><br/>Noticing the thug's hungry looks at herself and Furr, she corrected herself.  Not likely the men would survive for long.  The girls would wish they were dead, instead... a small comfort, that.<br/><br/>"Come back, Kit.  I don't want you getting hurt," she whispered to her familiar.  The fox looked up at her for a moment, as if wanting to argue, but lept up to Marianne's hand and started bounding along her skin again.  "Now for you three... at least there's something I can do like this..." she growled, glaring at one of the thugs.  One of her tattoos - a string of green gemstones - started to glow, one of the gems giving off a light of its own.  Suddenly the light rushed along her skin, down her back, and along her tail.  Marianne spun around, launching the light from her tail squarely into the thug's chest, turning it into a ball of acid as it flew across the room that gave a very satisfying sizzle when it connected.  Her tattoo's light faded, now showing two gemstones and an empty setting.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Actions</div><div class="spoiler_body">Kit uses a move action to return to being a tattoo.  Marianne casts Acid Splash at Thug 2.  Ranged touch: 23; damage: 3</div></div>
