[@PlatinumSkink] Always feel free to ask if you have questions. If I'm giving you complete artistic license, I'll tell you then.

Septima can, yes, so they aren't dead. Although some would prefer to be. :-P

Sidestep and Mary can't even see one another, so you can't see them. Askaryan and Automaton are both visible, but not an immediate threat, so you likely won't notice them. Freakshow and Curbstomp are moving between cover and holding each other at bay, ducking in and out of alleys. Dragon is roughly dead centre and very visible ATM, and is probably the first thing you'll see. The Covenant won't be entirely visible, but you will see both Vegas protecting Holly and Mandy, and Sickle-Cell walking into the fray. Vice will be out of sight of you ATM until he makes another big move.

Gladius are highly trained soldiers, and have been outgunning Wonderland from the word go, and the fight has well and truly gone in their favour. The arrival of the Covenant has spooked both sides, with the braver members grouping to attack and the smarter ones turning tail. Dragon, Sickle and Vegas are the most visible things to you right now. You have touched down behind Wonderland's lines. Beyond them are Dragon and The Covenant. Beyond them are Gladius.

You'll know the Boston capes belonging to a faction. You won't know Sidestep, Curbstomp, Freakshow or any of the PCs except Anomaly. But knowing is not the same as seeing. You might know what the Boston capes can do, but actually witnessing it firsthand is another thing entirely.

The thing about the paused time is a good point. I can reword it later tonight if you'd prefer. Maybe you extend the area to stop the roof tearing off, and slightly over extend yourself. Would that be better?

Awesome ^.^ 

I certainly plan to do the same. 

Now then, if you have anything else you want to know, don't hesitate to ask. I'm more than willing to give artistic license, just run any ideas by me first ^.^
