Quoted By:
Feeling thankful that it wasn’t terribly far from the lab, you took a taxi to the vacant house of a vacationing young couple that you’d been scoping out. According to the cameras you had installed, they haven’t returned yet. You knew that you should be worried about them coming back ahead of schedule, but the woman was so active on social media that you got hourly reports on whatever she was up to. You were subscribed to her profile, so you’d be the first to know if she and her hubby were on their way back home. This, of course, came with its downsides. Your phone was often flooded with worthless notifications and status updates from your account.
Once you’d gotten out of the cab, you made sure that the couple’s neighbors weren’t outside or peeking through their windows. You practically had to drag yourself through the front door. Your vision was getting blurry, and you ended up turning on all the lights as you made your way to the bedroom. You’d have to remember to turn them off so no one made any calls to the couple in question. But as far as your research told you, these two weren’t terribly close to their neighbors. As far as everyone else knew, you were their housesitter.
Pushing these thoughts out of your head, you stripped yourself of your clothes and tossed them around the room, before plopping down into the queen-sized bed, face-first.
Even without any clothes, you were sweating profusely. That damn spider must’ve given you something. You’ll have to check the…medicine cabinet in the…bathroom…later…
Soon enough, you weren’t aware of anything at all. Your conscious thoughts ceased to be, and you drifted off in a very, very deep sleep.
[You’ve gained 2 Mutation Points]
Mutations:
>Retractable Stingers: You have a pair of retractable dagger-like protrusions that can pop out of your wrists and surprise your foes.
>Mark of Kaine: Your sticky fingers can do more than cling to walls. You gain the ability to burn, maim and tear away at physical surfaces. It is also possible to leave burning and explosive marks upon physical contact.
>Acid Spit: You have an acid gland in your throat that can produce a lethal toxin capable of eating through rock and metal.
>Organic Webbing: You have the ability to produce and fire webs from your wrists. The amount and quality of said webs can vary based on your health and the nutritional value of your diet.
>Venom Blast: You have the ability to produce and project intense bursts of bioelectric energy.
>Pest Control: You can control and communicate with spiders in the surrounding area.
(I imagine that this will be the most divisive vote so far. In an effort to spice up the combat options, I'm providing you guys with the ability to obtain mutations. If anyone has a reasonable suggestion for a mutation, I will consider it. Just try to keep things reasonable. And no, I won't let you turn invisible like Miles.)
