You Are A Corruptive Force
« on: September 21, 2011, 12:20:06 pm »

You have stayed in this cave since the Earth cooled. Sometimes your hunger is satisfied by pond scum and careless surface creatures. Now, you feel so hungry. You need to feed. You snake your way out of the cave, and you are blinded by the light. You head back in until it is dark. You then drift out again. You examine the area around you. You can see lights in the distance. Closer, you can see lights occasionally go up and down a road. This should be interesting.

You drift towards the lights, which begin to take shape. A town, with sleeping humans inside houses. You feel too weak to go near, so you go back to your cave. Looking around, you see a house nearby. You go inside. Knickknacks of a life lived are on shelves and tables inside, showing the occupant as a sentimental person. The feelings of sentimentality make you sick. You feel like vomiting. What should you do?

Corrupt the area, then slowly begin to mess with the inhabitants, noises in the dark, misplaced objects, etc.

>Count the number of inhabitants. If more than one, posess one of them and have the attack the others. If only one, then have them destroy the sentimental objects

There seems to be only one person in the entire house. An old woman, sleeping soundly. You possess her, and make her destroy each and every one of the sentimental objects. All of them are destroyed near the end of the hour, so you then put her back into bed and make her fall asleep. She sleeps soundly. For a week, you mess with her reality. She is freaked out enough by the broken objects, and your gaslighting is even worse. You remove objects, corrupt the area and make noises in the dark. Soon, she is completely terrified. You absorb the terror and you can get a new ability or improve one.

New Powers
1. Minor Spawn: You can create a slave to you and design their appearance. They can do anything for five minutes, and at that point they disappear into nothing.
2. Pathogen: You cannot level-up this ability. The target becomes ill with a disease and is incredible pain for a day, until they die. The pain created is worth half a point.
3. Minor Deal: You can corrupt a person with minor beneficial power in exchange for an item or service.

Level-up:

1. Low Possession: The possession lasts three hours, and you can make the person have minor corruption powers for the duration, but there is a chance they will keep the powers.
2. Low Corruption: You can change the appearance of the locale (You can make a forest darker and moodier, a house more gothic, etc) and the tension rises.

Pick pathogen, find a large gathering of people and make them all ill, while staying away from the lights.

Pathogen

EDIT: Will the infected people infect other people as well?

Pathogen, but make sure we only occasionally infect people, to give the appearance of a (earthly) new disease. All the fear will be ours. ALL OF IT!
EDIT: We should probably keep messing with this lady, milk it for as long as possible.
EDIT2: Does Low Corruption work with people, as well?

You search around for someone on the road who you can infect and inspire fear, and manage to get a car filled with a family of people. They seem to be going on a roadtrip to the town. You infect them, and wait for them to go to the town. That's a harvest for another day. Speaking of, you feel a bit more powerful now. You may be able to go to the town, or maybe explore a bit, but it might be good to pace yourself. You consider the pathogen, and you made it infective through touch. Oh this is going to be fun... You decide also that screwing with the old lady one last time. You finish up, and she has a heart attack from the combined force of your gaslighting and your corruption of the area. Oh that was so fuuuun.

But people of a higher standing and in a position of authority, such as the sheriff, mayor, etc.

Doctors first, to make sure noone can figure out that the disease is not natural.
