In Building Six...Luke asks the voice what might be the meaning of all this.
I dunno, beats me. Something pink, I know that much. Something very pink. You could ask the others, but I believe most of them are as much in the dark as I am. Unfortunate, that.Luke nods and attempts to will some tea and biscuits into existence.
It doesn't work, unfortunately. Damn, it would sure be nice to have some sort of magic powers right about now.
In the streets of Emlocke...Yorinnsud has a bright idea! Fusing spinal cords! It is bound to work! She tries to explain this to the area she suspects
Mark to be in!
[Nonverbal communication roll: 5]
Having eight articulate arms and even more articulate tentacles helps, you see, and Yorinnsud explains this to where Mark should be in great detail, all without a single word spoken! She hopes he understood it.
[Mark medicine roll: 5]
It appears he did! He rolls Yorinnsud back onto her belly and leaves for a few minutes, during which there is the sound of furious slashing and slicing. Eventually, Mark shuffles over and starts working on her spine, sewing and slicing and... smearing something? Huh?
After a while, Mark picks her up and makes her stand on her two feet. Interestingly enough, it works rather nicely!
Yorinnsud, however, experiences a sudden shock as the head of the metal woman is mounted on her neck and mounted on her now-metallic spine! It seems to fit nicely enough. Probably because it's the exact spinal cord the head was sliced from. After a bit of sewing and smearing something, Yorinnsud feels herself get control of the head, and with that, vision! It's monochrome, but at least it works.
She looks rather odd, a metallic and bald woman's head on a fleshy body with a bit of metallic binding on the back.
Yorinnsud now has a
Reinforced Spine and a
Metallic Head.
She traces one of her fingers along the edge of the binding and looks at it.
It seems to be covered in a silvery, highly viscous liquid that has a metallic sheen to it.
Elsewhere in Emlocke...Tom, feeling awfully lost all of a sudden, tries to set a building on fire to create a landmark!
[Will roll: 2+1]
He blunders confusedly off the intersection and stops, his mental fortitude spent for the moment! He gets a bit of rest instead of indulging in pyromania for now.
Still in Emlocke...Darren follows his buddies to the inn, and when they get there, they start to party! Darren does his best to further the mood despite being unable to enjoy either sex or drugs!
[Partying roll: 2]
He tries very hard, but he just looks kinda sad in the process. Pitiably sad, in fact.
"Aw, what's the matter, spooky dude? Sad 'cause you can't party exactly like us?"[Band ideas roll: 6]
"That ain't fair to him!""Yeah, when we party, we ALL party!""Let's give him a little pick-me-up, eh?"[Band music roll: 5]
They all start to play an odd song. It reverberates in Darren's head until he is, well, feeling unusually jolly. And poorly coordinated. And a bit flushed.
Oh dear. He is quite drunk now. And maybe even a bit high.
[Bernie perception roll: ?]
There is a bit of a stir from downstairs, but it quickly quiets down.
