My thoughts were cycling back to what I had promised her. Kamui. It was a big step, and not one I was going to take lightly. It was what Tetra wanted, but it almost seemed like a step back for her. Only from her perspective the inability to directly interface was the step back. The direction she wanted to develop in, both from her instincts and her own desire, wasn't one I would consider positive from a human perspective.
Soon, Tetra will merge with either Parian or Khepri, and make one a magical girl in a Kamui.
It's got to happen. Imagine the Magical Girl Transformation memes.
Probably would fit more with Parian tbh, since you know, "Life Fibers" + "Fine Control of Lightweight Material"
On the brighter side, Survey and Garment were set to meet with Parian in her studio in the afternoon, discussing a collaboration of some event for Garment's charity auction. Garment had been ecstatic about the idea and had been preparing all morning. I was happy for her, both for her chance to meet Parian and the good the event could do. It was nice to know that not everything happening was a disaster in that making, or something that would blow up in our face.
Oh no. Wonder how it will go when Survey reveals Parian can fully "Master" Garment.
Not to mention that Garment is MUCH better at fashion than Parian. I can imagine Garment trying to be friendly but Parian being very self conscious and lashing out.
Btw, did you know Parian's true power is actually MUCH darker than how she uses it in Worm? Saw on the Wiki what her real power actually is. Apparently it would have put up a good fight against Behemoth.
The true use of Parian's power was later revealed to be working with the skin of dead humans. She can flay corpses and infuse their skins with her ability, manipulating it like she would any other material, but with better control and more strength. She can also use hair and tendons from corpses as thread. By sewing the skins of numerous dead together, she can create a giant construct that is capable of taking an attack from a Titan
And I saw her approach the rows of bodies. People covered in sheets. Some with people standing by them. She took the sheets, drawing out threads and weaving them together.
Then, with telekinetic control over fine blades, she began cutting into bodies. Some had been crushed, some had been cut, others afflicted with gas, their skin ulcerous.
"Oh my god," I heard Foil. She pressed her hands over her mouth.
Flayed skin sewn to skin, like Parian had used cloth before. Orifices sealed shut. People became parts of a wider canvas. That canvas, with many dead, began to take form.
The sheets became one doll. Like Parian's bigger creations, it reached a height of about twenty feet. I'd seen smaller at the fight against Leviathan. This one remained featureless. Nothing spared for decoration. Bloody, because the sheets had covered people that had been torn apart.
When thread ran out, she began using tendons from the body, or hair.
Skin stretched like most cloth didn't. But that wasn't why it was so much bigger, or why it seemed more flexible than the cloth creations, less clumsy.
[...]
The thing took form. It wasn't Titan sized, but it was a bit bigger than the Gibborim Knight had been. Skin stretched translucent thin. It was mostly human shaped, streaked with the blood that had leaked out in the flaying.
[...]
Skadi plunged her blade straight down at Parian.
The skin-thing struck out, protecting its controller, wrestling Skadi to the ground.
She cut, and the telekinesis that saturated the skin seemed to protect it from the cut. - Excerpt from Radiation 18.6
