[IMAGE ID: A drawing of characters from The Locked Tomb trilogy in a roller derby match. The necromancers wear blue and black jerseys. The cavaliers wear red and gold jerseys. The front skaters are, from left to right: Gideon, in an orange helmet covered in Sapphic stickers, who looks upset, distracted, and flustered. Coronabeth bends over with a smug look on her face, being purposefully distracting and in Gideon's way. She wears a purple helmet and fishnet tights. Harrow speeds ahead of the group, looking victorious. There is a star on her helmet. Marta pushes forward and keeps an eye on Harrow. Cam is behind Marta, crouched low and smiling.
The skaters in the back are, from left to right: Only Naberius’s helmet is visible, which has a star on it. Protesilaus has his back to the viewer and wears a jersey that says “Pro-Pain” and green helmet. Ianthe is not visible except her blue helmet. Mercymorn wears a peach helmet that says “NO”. Her jersey says "NoMercy".
In the background is Dulcie sitting on the floor in rinkside seating with a caution paper on the floor beside her. She looks determined and holds red and gold pompoms. Next to her is a wheelchair decorated with lights on the wheels and a sign that sign says "Get Wreckt". She has an oxygen tube coming from her nose to a small side bag. Palamedes is dressed as a referee in the back right with a whistle in his mouth. Signs in the back read: “Talk Derby to Me by girlcommaplease", “SNOW LEEK SMOOTHIES" (“So Leeky!", “2.50!"), and “Public Skating Weekdays 2:00-6:00". A blurred audience sits in the bleachers. End ID]
