The Changeling Children
Recently evacuated changeling children shelter in the guild, where compression sickness leaves some deformed and cultural conflict erupts with Prudence's cubs.
Story so far
Skarn, Ruby, Bonnie, and other children arrive from the changeling community. Several suffer compression sickness; some are stuck as deformed human children while others hold bear forms.
Randy calls Bonnie a heathen destined for judgment fire, supported by his older brother Todd. Skarn defends her while Samantha encourages a fight to the death. Prudence sleeps through the conflict.
Entertainment keeps the children inside: one group watches Little Bear, while another child sits with Sledge as he demonstrates theft and carjacking in Grand Theft Auto. Bonnie instead dismantles a disarmed Spider Stalker on the counter.
Appearance
A mixed group of changeling children in human and bear forms clustered around televisions and mechanical parts.
Role
The children embody the vulnerable population Carl must preserve for the ninth-floor plan.
