Frank looks over and sees that Crass is being treated, so he returns to what he was doing.

Frank did not notice Sherry fire on Crass and assumed that the gunshot was simply someone on the team finishing up one of the remaining enemies. Satisfied with the state of things, Frank moves over to begin examining the contents of the lockers.

Spoiler: Frank (click to show/hide)
Name: Franklin Walker
Race and Profession: Ordinary Human Tinker
Description: Looks extremely average as far as humans go. Medium length dirty-blonde hair. A little shorter than six feet. Has a fancy mustache that he likes to twirl when getting excited about machines.
Backstory: Frank grew up in Nede, and has only rarely seen the surface before, never for extended periods of time. Due to his natural proclivity of working with machines, he quickly joined the Tinker guild, and was just as quickly assigned to this mission by the guild. Equal parts earnest and practical, he decided that to ensure his survival on this mission he would buy a full body hardsuit so he didn't croak before finding cool old-world relics.

She can feel it trying to spread in her body (6+2 health) She manages not to succumb to it, for now.

Try to staunch the wound on my neck while gurgling out a warning to the others.

Spoiler: Crass (click to show/hide)
Name: Crass Beakerton
Race and Profession: Special Human (Spectral Aspect) Doctor
Description: A pale man in a stained, unwashed doctor's coat. A brass plate has been hammered into his face, covering the entire right side and the entirety of his jaw. A metal hinge connects to a swiveling mouthguard with a built-in air filter that is kept in place a leather belt and buckle. Crass carries around a large satchel with bright red stitches were ever he goes, the handle of his baton peaking out from the edge of the bag.
Backstory: Born a slum rat, Crass joined up with a small splinter group that was apart of one of the larger gangs Nede, acting as an errand boy and dealer for some of the more low-level drugs. But the group leader took an interest in young Crass, and when she saw his steady hands, quick wit, and his skill with a needle and thread, she knew Crass could do more than just a dealer. A loan from the bank and the upper echelon was barely enough to cover the cost of sending young Crass off to apprentice at one of the local medical guilds. Crass returned home with hope and pride in his eyes, hope, and pride that was snuffed out the second he took a step into his old home in the same moment a bomb planted by a rival gang went off. He came to in the hospital, finding out that most of his face was burnt off by the explosion and was stuck with a bill. Worse, a statement form the bank came and apparently as the sole survivor of the attack, his Guardian's debts was being transferred to him, including the ones to the the Syndicate. Stuck paying off a multitude of debts, Crass has grown to be choleric fellow, one who has as many cares to give as he does dollars to spend.

Quote from: Parisbre56 on October 17, 2019, 05:45:19 pm

Try to convince the parasite that its life expectancy will increase if it stops being hostile and hides the pistol. If it wants to survive longer, then it should jump out of Nora and into my body. It will have much higher chance of satiating its hunger, procreating and escaping if it works together with a willing host.

If that fails, then just resist as best I can.

(6+2 speech) Sherry convinces the parasite that it would be best if it were to change its host body to her. It's not very sentient, but she manages to get through to it.

The blue worm bursts forth from Nora. it now looks somewhat like a octopus made from tree roots. It scurries over to Sherry, and jumps on her. (10) Being ready for it, Sherry uses her telepathic abilities to subsume it's consciousness. The process is strenuous to her own mind (permanently reduce Mind by 1). However is now a part of her, and completely under her control. (Change race to Special Human (Biomorhic Parasite). This does not affect your skills)

Sherry emitted a pained groan as she tried to blink the pain away from her head. She'd have liked to massage it but it would be hard to do so while being restrained.
"Sorry about that. I was trying to remove the parasite and it kinda got the upper hand there for a moment. No hard feelings?" Sherry asked with a forced smile despite wincing from the pain.

Alice picked up her two wand halves, she would fix them later when it was more quiet. She then turned around and saw that Sherry was currently being held to the ground by Ares.

"What's happening and who needs my help?"

Pick up my two wand halves, they should be less sticky due to being covered in water.
