A slip of paper reading "EX".
You pocket it for now, noticing a beep coming from the desk. Interesting. The room can't be any bigger than 130 square feet so it's clear he can't be THAT hidden in here. Now, you can only see the layout of the room but there's only two hiding spots you can see. Behind the desk and behind one of the shelves.
You doubt he's at the desk so, picking randomly, you decide to go with the right shelf. Right is right.
You lunge forward with vicious intent. As you do so, you swear you saw the smoke in the room swirling around your arm as you did so, clearing your vision just enough to see the shocked look on Sebastian's face. For a moment, your vision shifts. You see...yourself, foam still dripping from your mouth and a crazed smile on your face. Lunging towards you. You can see the shocked look on your face as you process this vision, are you seeing through his eyes-
Before you have time to process it, your vision clears as you grab him by the collar and pull him over with your MECHANICAL ARMSLEEVE improved grip. The smoke clears the moment you do so.
"H-huh." <<span class="mu-b">"My head feels funny. I swore I was...lunging at myself? How does that work?</span>> he's clearly shaken by whatever you just did. The two of you just stare awkwardly at each other while Kiara stops mid-repair. She seems to be doing better, at least.
>KIARA FLESH: 2/3!
You take a moment to process what just happened. Huh. You look over at Kiara and with some effort, you focus...and for a moment, you see yourself and Sebastian standing nearby one of the nearby shelves. Your vision is tinted with a weird light cyan hue to it, like you're looking through a security camera instead of human eyes. Then your vision returns back to normal.
The awkward silence lingers as everyone in the room stares at everyone else. You pull out the slip of paper and hand it to Sebastian. He takes it.
ONE MAIN POWER AND ONE SIDEPOWER UNLOCKED!
>WHISPERS OF THE CITY (FREE/1): The City whispers to you and you shall listen to it. You will passively gain more loot when exploring abandoned buildings or when searching through your supply cache. You may spend 1 RESTRAINT to gain the layout of the room you're currently in and a rough layout of the adjacent rooms. Most safes, passages, or other hidden knickknacks in the room will be revealed to you and you'll get a +2d6 COGNIZANCE modifier to figuring out how to open them.
>SIGHTJACKING (MIND READ SIDEPOWER, 1 RESTRAINT): For 1 RESTRAINT, you may attempt a DC 18 (modified by target's mental resistance) WILLPOWER check to temporarily see through the eyes of another person within a small radius around you. In addition to seeing what they're going and doing, you'll get a solid glimpse at their inventory and what special abilities they have.
>TELEKINESIS, PUPPETEERING, and MIND READ have also been temporarily boosted by UNMARKED VIAL! Those abilities will be listed later.
"Well!" Sebastian claps. "You found me! And the EX paper! N-nice!"
