As always I'm sitting in the waiting room, nobody interesting has come so far, and the powerful ones seem to be avoiding me
eventually I'm called, and i walk up to the counter
receptionist-"what would you like"
"code name, or whatever its called"
receptionist-"anything else?"
"dead dog"
receptionist-"wat"
"you heard me"
receptionist- "whhhhyyyyy?"
"i want a floofy boy, preferably one that isn't deformed to all high heaven"
receptionist- "i… I can't just… get you a dead dog!"
"if you yell people will notice"
receptionist- "ill… ill let a vet know your coming… your code name is Necro"
"dope"
and with that i walk out never wanting to be seen there ever again, i mean, who the fuck asks for a dead dog!?!
————
arriving I'm met with an apprehensive man at the counter
"so um, yes" the hell was that!?!
vet-"who the fuck asks for a dead dog!?"
"a necromancer who happens to be an exorcist, who happens to want a dog thats about to die or is dead"
vet-"i have no words, I genuinely have no words"
with that he leads me to the back to a plethora of sickly looking dogs and cats
"ill uh, ill just do my thing"
[???
soul power: none
potential: none
aspect: none]
the hell? All the dogs in here can be summed up in that one thing
[animals tend to not have potential to awaken]
ok that explains something, but i want a dog, so screw that-
and then i spot it
[moxxie
soul power: none
potential: v. High
Aspect: none]
"him" i point at the basically dead dog
vet-"why him? If i may ask, I'm not giving away a dog for nothing"
"my eyes tell me he has high potential"
vet-"that isn't gonna change my- ok then just ignore me"
i walk up to the dog and place my hand on his head, and gulp
"hey buddy, i uh, dont know how you life was, but its basically over"
he looks down, as if he has the potential to understand
"i uh, can't put you down on an empty stomach, so here"
i hand him the tamer and it turns into a steak, around rare cooked and he slowly eats it, i stand there for about 10 minuets
"I'm uh, I'm sorry"
[keyword: goodnight]
"Goodnight… and um… sweet dreams?"
the life slowly fades
[youve laid a suffering soul to rest, the corruption falters and melds into you more +1 hidden skill]
[skill unlocked: last rights]
[last rights: any summon in your graveyard will now have a final task they want completed based on their life, when completed, they will gain a relevant aspect *aspect is passive and effects you and summon]
"arise"
the once dead dog soon falters and rises, its bones and body creaking, but soon gaining healthy composition, a new power flowing into the creature
"soul sight"
[Moxxie
soul power: low
potential: v. High
aspect: clone

"claim final right for moxxie"
a new power along with his original aspect flow and mix together
[moxie has gained an aspect]
"Check"
[aspect + well fed]
"So uhm, how do i put you in a grave yard? It's always been automatic"
[you have free space, add?]
"convenient, yes, sure, whatever, my, that's not bull"
[added moxxie to graveyard, an unmarked tombstone appears]
"well then, thank you sir, ill be on my way"
i walk out and wave a bye, sending the dog to my graveyard.
————
eventually i get another ping on my watch
[message: a preemptive cluster has been detected, the five closest are asked to respond]
"Damnit, already? I need rest for school, i need food, wait, actually, how will my parents react? How am i fine? Damn, ill ask this shit later"
i start to pour energy into my feet, as i rise off the ground, unlike with most of my other skills this one uses some magic or energy or whatever you call it, for the sake of simplicity ill just call it soul, also cause i like puns that make little to no sense.
Once I'm almost there i start to drop, faster and faster, before i can react i hit the ground and tumble right in front of four other exorcists "owwwwwww, mother of Jesus that hurt"
[hidden skill +pain numbing of a corpse]
[null the pain of the body for a peaceful mind *however you still take damage]
"shitty ass skill, why not award me with sou-" i shut myself up, looking at the looks I'm being given "heeeeeeeey, how are you? Ya doing good? That's good, ready to um, kill some ghosts? Wait, can you- never mind"
one blond haired kid, newly awakened, i can tell from a similar way he stands and shifts from me, stares in confusion and visable cringe
Blonde-"uhhhhh, sure, anyways!" He looks at the others "lets share our aspects! We all saw the message, its a field gate!"
Gate… he reads to much manga and comics
Blonde-"ill go first! Mine is-" jazz hands "rabbit!"
a second person, shorter male, maybe 12 in age speaks next
12ie-"mine uhm… plushie fortress"
the third is next around his mid 40s
40-"mines chibunyo"
fourth is next, all dark and gloomy, classic goth, wouldn't be surprised if his power is something
goth-"sunshine"
… :/ the fuck, why is everything here so fucking cutesy, now I'm gonna look extra creepy! Well not like it matters! I have moxxie, and the tiny child… and… damnit
"necromancy"
the smiles from 12ie and blonde fade and the goth smiles
goth-"niiiiiiice"
40-"so you are the next antagonist"
12ie-"s-scary"
blonde-"creepy" he shivers
im never gonna have a friend, damnit "so, out of curiosity, whats the field based on?"
everyone shakes their head in unsureness
blonde-"none of us have a inspection skill, what about you?"
"only works on people, but knowing how my powers manifest, just give it a moment"
[situation presented, modifying soul sight and creating a new concept]
"there it is"
[+1 skill, area of the dead]
