Lore[]

Meeting Marionettes at first, it was a bit... unnerving to interact with creatures who only moved their bodies and didn't do the little things other beings did, such as breathing and blinking. I wonder, though, if Monvoisin is still pulling their strings, even if she's not here? I'll have to ask all the Marionettes I'll battle, so time to start!
