Quentin leans over in his chair. "They did not like...this ability of mine. Not this way, at least. A taboo of sorts."
"I mean, fuck man. It's freaky as hell. I gotta admit, it's useful." Lex snaps his fingers. "You're not as awful as I thought you were when we first met."
"...Giant Centipede Keeps Raising The Dead. Hm. Good song name."
While your allies talk among each other, you take a moment to decompress and focus on yourself. As you look around the bar to see what interesting faces there are, you do wonder. What is your purpose? Sure, you want to eventually GET out of this gig, but what's your end game here?
What is your purpose? What is the goal that will drive you forward from here?
>[SEEKER OF THE CITY] You want to learn the secrets of secrets in the City. You want to know how everything ticks. This job is just an excuse to get you closer. (MAIN GOAL: SECRETKEEPER. You seek to find out the biggest secrets the Companies and City hold at any cost. You'll be sated when you learn the biggest Secret of all 26 Alphabet Companies.)
>[UNSTABLE] You want to break out of the yoke of your human form. To become something BETTER. This body, your mind, it RESTRAINS you. Weakens you. (MAIN GOAL: ABERRATION. You seek to become better than humanity. You'll be sated when you have untapped the full potential of your mind and body.)
>[ANOMALOUS POWERS] You want to learn as much about the anomalous as you can. You want to know how they tick, why they exist. Not to mention the voice you hear. (MAIN GOAL: RESEARCHER. You want to pursuit as much of the anomalous world as you can and the limits of your powers. You will be sated when you can fully understand how you got powers, why anomalies are the way they are, and who the voice is.)
>[PERSON OF INTEREST] The men in silver, why do they follow you? Why did they try to turn someone into an anomaly? What is their end goal? You want to know more. They clearly have friends in high places. (MAIN GOAL: MUCKRACKER. You want to expose the secrets of the men following you and to stop their operations at any cost. You'll be sated when they're forever disbanded.)
>Who said you had any other reason? You just want to get out of the gig. (MAIN GOAL: GRINDSET. You seek to be free from everything that can hold you do. You'll be sated when you're rich enough to never work a day in your life.)
>Write in.
As you stew this, you look back at your allies. They seem to be busy talking amongst themselves so you turn to look around at the bar. <span class="mu-b">While you do plan on asking them questions about themselves and going home after this</span>, your eyes glaze over to the people at the bar. To be honest?
You're a bit worried about hiring them for a while and, who knows if you'll get close to them only for them to die on a mission? It's wise to keep your options open. That and it gives you some time to unfurl your brain and your new powers...
"And that's when I told dad that, no, I don't want to pet the Mermaid." Lex spurts out.
