The Understudy

“Act one: me. Act two: also me.”

The Understudy, a battle sprite from Always On
Battle sprite from Always On

The Understudy took over the stage of the walnut theatre and nobody comes any more. It won’t go on with the house lights up, and is “very good at waiting.” In battle it delivers lines at you, does a little dance with elbows, takes an encore nobody asked for, and takes a very deep breath before the big number.

Beaten, it “bows to nobody and leaves the stage, quite gracefully.”
