You can take a whole lot of damage, you begin as your voice takes on a whimsical tinge and your scars start to itch, see, there was this grease fire at work once an-
Over ten posts worth of flashbacks are swiftly shot down by a rock crashing against your jaw at sub mach speed! If you hadn’t chosen this bonus you’d probably be crying right now.
“Hmm… I <span class="mu-i">guess</span> that’s useful…” Purrs your new boss as you hear a few more rocks drop to the ground next to her. “What else? <span class="mu-i">MY</span> slaves have to have at least <span class="mu-s">TWO</span> skills.”
Erm, you stammer as you scramble to think of something else, well you’ve got a sunny personality-
Another rock gets intimate with your face. Still not crying!
Okay, you sputter, you… you’re like a <span class="mu-s">BLACK CAT</span>, okay!? Things tend to be pretty, well… unlucky around you!
The rock barrage is put on hold. For now. “... I have no idea what that means. Idiot.”
Like… like if you’re taking care of a plant, 9 times outta 10 it dies, okay? You barely work with any other coworkers anymore because of how often they slip and fall into the fryers!
“I understood the luck part, moron,” Chides Rezalith as she gives the bridge post another long scratch, “I have no idea what this ‘<span class="mu-s">BLACK CAT</span>’ is you speak of.”
Your eyes widen a bit. Wait, she doesn’t know what a cat is?
“I don’t make it a habit to do or know things that don’t concern me!” Snarls the devil with another scratch! “That’s what I have <span class="mu-i">SLAVES</span> for, duh-DOI.”
How uh… how many slaves <span class="mu-i">has</span> she had, anyways?
“How many times have you hurt yourself trying to <span class="mu-i">think</span>, hmm? It must be around that number.”
Is she <span class="mu-i">always</span> this abusive, you begin, or is today just a special occasion?
“A <span class="mu-i">VERY</span> special occasion indeed!” Cackles Rezalith with a swish of an unseen claw! “Today I am finally <span class="mu-s">FREE!</span> Free to do what I want, when I want, and how I want it! These dark lands shall <span class="mu-i">QUAKE</span> at the sound of my name!”
With what you can only assume is a dramatic flourish, ‘Rezie’ pauses with wide eyes as the two of you hear the sound of something creaking…
… She chopped up the support post, didn’t she?
“... You’re the one who said he spread Bad Luck. That means that you dying in a moment isn’t my fault at all!” She counters, sticking a forked tongue out at you as you feel the brittle wood beneath your feet buckle! “This wouldn’t have happened if you had WINGS or something. Idiot…”
Rezalith’s award-winning empathy does little to comfort you as you feel gravity take hold of you! Mustering one last-ditch jump, you leap off the crumbling bridge and over to safety!
Wait, no, you just slam your face against a cliff. Tumbling into the inky blackness below, the last thing you hear before you black out is a derisive snort from your would-be partner.
At least <span class="mu-i">she’s</span> amused…
