Couldn't hurt to try, you suppose. As you remove the jacket you're currently wearing to put on NEW YOU, you feel an odd fuzziness in your head. Something's...off.
[SCHOLAR OF THE CITY] Well this is new. I'm not quite sure how to explain what's happening here.
[SCHOLAR OF THE CITY] There's a whole rush of new information being poured into you, Nicole. It's hard to filter it to anything useful but while you have this jacket on, you feel KNOWLEDGABLE!
You immediately remove the jacket.
[SEEKER OF THE CITY] And all of that knowledge vanishes. You're back to what you know, which is schizophrenic fragments that appear whenever someone mentions a concept.
Huh.
NEW YOU ABILITY REVEALED: BOON COPYING
>NEW YOU can transform to mimic an article of clothing your ally typically wears. While it is equipped, you gain a small stat boost depending on which ally it is and one of their BOONS. Some race specific BOONs, such as BIOJACKER and ANDROID PHYSIOLOGY, can not be copied. Some boons will be altered to fit your psyche, so not all copying is 1:1.>NEW YOU takes up an accessory slot.>NEW YOU (KIARA) STATS: +1 TALENT, SEEKER OF THE CITY IS UPGRADED TO SCHOLAR OF THE CITY. IF GIVEN TO ANOTHER ALLY, GRANTS THEM SEEKER OF THE CITY AND +1 TALENT.[SCHOLAR OF THE CITY]: You have extensive knowledge beyond what one person should know. Even the most foul and horrifying anomalies are known to you. When encountering an anomaly, in addition to the normal hints you get, you'll get a solid idea on its threat level and abilities. You'll also have a lower chance of not knowing something when someone mentions a company or lore tidbit.
Neat! No harm in keeping it on for now, you suppose, so you put it back on. That's about all of your accessory slots full so if you need to put on your googles or some other accessory, you'll have to remove something.
"Nice." Kiara's voicebox plays that same clicking sound. "Orange looks good on you. Now don't you got a mental course to show off at?" Ah, right. You stand back up and you notice that while your leg still hurts like a bastard, your arm feels a lot better. Coolio.
>HALF FIXED DISLOCATED ARM FIXED! +1 FLESH HEALED! "Let's get going." You limp out of the room and stumble back into the hellish heat of the military base. The two guards who were standing outside are staring at you and Kiara with equal parts respect and fear. You simply wink at them as you limp over to the MENTAL COURSE. Well, Kiara decides to step in and help you walk so whatever fuckass UVX ointment you used can patch it up faster.
The line of lazy bums outside of the shady looking building immediately part when they see the two of you. Guess words spread fast that a buncha civvies manage to go through the course without fucking dying. It doesn't take long for the two of you to enter the MENTAL TRAINING COURSE building.

"What the actual fuck is this horseshit." You hiss out.
