"What in the ever loving FUCK are you!?!"
Unknown-"daddy?"
"never say those words again or i swear on the ever loving oh merciful lord that i will chop your head off… how do i do that?"
Unknown-"Daddy!"
"ok, you've spoken, yep i get that, now time out for a second"
as i say this her demeanor changes a bit, she stands still and waits patiently.
"wait if shes a small girl, hmm, maybe she'll respond like a child, if thats the case, cheating is out of the question for whatever game we're playing" i think for a second "hey, whats your name! What game we playing?"
unknown-"play house"
"Huh, are those… puppets the dolls?"
she nods cautiously
"can you uhm, kill the boy one? If you dont do that I can't play"
without hesitation she snaps the male puppets neck, a second later i can feel the energy rise off it
"thank you, arise"
soon the bones of the specter snap into place and it floats into the air
"soul sight"
[puppet of anger
soul power: v. Low
Potential: none
aspect: float]
"so whats your name kid"
Unkown-"forgot"
"want a name?"
Unknown-"yes please"
"uhm, ah, Mari"
as i say her name, i start to feel a connection similar to the one i have with penny
"can i suggest something?"
she nods
"how about we play later with real toys, mkay?"
Mari-"buh why"
"I'm gonna be honest, the puppets are creeping me out, but to take you out of here i need to exorcise you"
she jumps back, the connection fading
"okok, i get your scared, but my power lets me take the boss specter and summon them, but to do that i need to eat their core, and as i am right now i can only hold two spirits, soooooooo, penny?"
as instructed, penny wears off the illusion and snaps the bosses neck, at the same time i use my puppet to kill the other puppet
"penny grab the woman puppets core"
penny promptly nods and grabs the core as the zone fades and my position is reset to the front of the house, i crouch down and pick up the two cores
"soul sight"
[miasma cluster: aspect: float]
[miasma cluster: +1 to graveyard: boss spirits soul]
"welp, down the hatch" i promptly swallow the 2nd core and get a prompt
[a third tombstone is added to your graveyard, the name Mari is engraved on it]
"oh, the name bits new, maybe its because penny was just a add in, and felix i never named? Eh, not like it effects anything practical"
"out"
A small arm rises out of my shadow and quickly claws its way up, at first she bares her nails at me, then, realizing she isn't dead, promptly looks around with that lopsided view of hers
"see? Not dead, now soul sight"
[Mari
soul power: low
potential: v. Low
aspect: fear]
"huh, i was expecting a aspect like marionette or something"
Mari-"disappointed?"
"nah, not like i got ya for your power, besides that was a low ranked thing, and looking at what it can actually do, with that whole fiasco, may be useful against people"
Exorcist 1-"we've arrived at the scene, one heavily injured girl, requesting an ambulance"
i hear an unknown voice and see an arm on Mari's shoulder
"uhm, you may not want to do that"
Exorcist 1-"how can you be so calm, look at how injur-"
he's finally realized
"shes the catalyst, shes one of my summons now"
he stutters and falls on his ass, backing away
"soul sight"
[john
soul power: medium
potential: low
aspect: calm]
"lol, calm"
John-"w-what the hell is that thing"
"shes my baby and if you hurt her i swear to-"
i get cut off by a new voice
Exorcist 2-"so the resident newbie is sentimental a forgiving to a freak"
"soul sight"
[arther
soul power: high
potential: Medium
aspect: slay+8 more]
Arther-"do you always check someone?"
"Yes, especially rude people"
Arther-"I'm not the one with freak powers"
"you know what fuck you" i swallow the first core
Arther- "your going to get yourself poisoned"
"nah, ill be fine, asshole"
the second i finish my sentence my chest pounds, i hold back the urge to vomit, i feel like I'm burning inside, this goes on for maybe 10 seconds, then stops
[the will of the dead swirl inside of you +1 to graveyard +10 to arise]
[you body has accepted the new technique: float, this technique has a total of (1) learnable skill(s)]
[skill unlocked: float]
[your soul power has reached a certain threshold +1 to graveyard]
[skill unlocked: aspect shock resistance *basic **all can learn]
Arther-"so your alive, i dont get why you'd risk your life for such a weak technique"
"to give a non-direct fuck you and hoping it was more powerful then what it was" i snap my fingers "and for this"
[skill unlocked: lay to rest]
"my first attack skill"
[lay to rest: upon contact for ten seconds, you may permanently end the life/afterlife of the target, the keyword must be said after 10 seconds *your summons are affected in an instant]
Arther-"how'd you know that was gonna happen?"
"thats usually how these things go, anywho, return"
Mari slowly sinks into my shadow, glaring at the man
"you may think I'm a freak, but it actually makes me pretty powerful, even at low level, most of my skills are information based, so they use up a small amount of power, and then theres ones regarding my summons, which, other then raising them, they cost no power to maintain"
Arther-"dont care, didnt ask, just know I'm watching you"
and he disappears, just like that
"welp, time to grind, maybe join a group, and maybe use this consumable"
