???: You’re in rough shape, it’s a miracle anything’s left of you…..
???: Report reads that you’re a jack-of-all-trades, did a bit of work in everything. Your last job didn't seem to end so good though.
???: You’re flickering so you clearly seem to be responsive at least.
???: Well then let's get you set up. We need to rebuild you.
???: Hopefully you're cohesive enough to pick out what you need….
???: Choose who you want to be and tell me about yourself. Who are you? Where were you on the day you died? And uh... what do you want me to refer to you as?
Option A:

Option B
Name:
Uhh...Spiral?
Pronouns:
It/Its.
Who Are You?:
That's a bit of a loaded question. You can't just ask people that and expect a good answer. 'I just get things done. ' is probably an okay answer though.
Where Were You When You Kicked The Bucket?
By a volcano, I think? It was bright and hot and smelled awful.
RE: Just a Passing Assassin... - Lilium Mortem - 04-12-2022
B
Name of Rigamarole
pronouns: she/her or He/him interchangeably.
Who am I? WHO AM I? I'm a loser. got nothing done in life, left nothing to be remembered by. always a strain on those who knew me, hallways a burden.
When I died I was in the city center, shopping, I think

Option C
Name:
Whirlwind Renegade
Pronouns:
she/her, he/him
Who Are You?:
I'm a witch! Just getting started, but I'm really getting a hang for things! I like using wind and metal scraps best, using them to make my namesake! Or at least, that's the plan. Haven't gotten very far yet.
Where Were You When You Kicked The Bucket?
I...don't know, actually. I think it was early morning though.

???: Don’t be shy, got a lot to fill you in on.
You pick option B.
You black out only to wake up on a table shortly.
Your form is serpent-like and cold, covered in scales ranging from small micro ones typical of a snake, to larger mask-like ones on your new face.
You don’t think your original form was anything like this… doesn’t matter now, it’s probably long gone. You have glimpses of your old life but it’s ridden with holes.
???: You feel alright? Everything connecting fine?
You give a nod, surprised by the first noise to come out of your throat. The voice is alien to you.
???: Alright, name please?
You thankfully can recall enough to give an answer.

Spiral: Spiral Renegade, witch in the making. Last thing I remember I was getting the hang of things there but I haven’t gotten that far. Think my motifs were wind and meta.
???: Oh, sensitive? No wonder they were eager to salvage you…
Spiral: Other than that I was a bit of a nobody I think. Whole lot of nothing going on but magic was my livelihood.
???: Good, good! Got something to cling onto there. Lucky to remember as much as you do…
Spiral: And you are?
???: 4D, it’s the first two digits of my body’s unit number and I can’t remember that much myself honestly… so I use what I got.
4D: So uh, what are you in here for?
Spiral: Mmm?
4D: You died right?
Spiral: Think so, can’t remember for sure how. Went out to the shopping center one morning and I remember this awful smell like… like Rotten eggs?
Spiral: But a lot of it is blank…
4D: Mm.. I can’t say I remember what happened to me perfectly either. Sometimes wish I did...
![[Image: 963711115261534208_unknown.png]](https://homebrewdeviants.com/static/discord_mirrors/963711115261534208_unknown.png)
4D: Have to say that look is good on you though, people who worked on it will be proud. If you don’t like it there’s plenty of room to upgrade down the line of course...
4D: Speaking of, we managed to salvage some goods off your person?
4D: In a locker. You had a weapon on your person and a pair of accessories. You mind filling me in so I can get those for you?
4D: And feel free to ask me anything, I’ll answer as best I can.
RE: Just a Passing Assassin... - MarxzVulpez - 04-13-2022
Accessories: a decent sized backpack shaped like a beetle with plenty of pockets
and
a baseball cap that we can use to increase our stealth skills (either by making it harder for people to look directly at us, or by letting us blend in with shadows better)
Weapon: looks like an ordinary sword handle, but by using our motifs it can manifest several different blade styles. it can also expand/extend to become a spear/pole arm, also with similar blade styles/types available.
RE: Just a Passing Assassin... - Ignispark - 04-13-2022
Seconding the beetle backpack that sounds really cool. As for another accessory...I'd like to make the ill advised suggestion of an accessory of a pair of boots that can pop out skating wheels.
Also seconding the magic sword/pole arm sheathe because that sounds very rad.
RE: Just a Passing Assassin... - Lilium Mortem - 04-13-2022
Weapon is a transforming war hammer/ machine gun
Accessory 1 is a retractable wing backpack used for scrap assisted flight
Accessory 2 is a pair of heavily modified flight goggles, with many different rotating lense attachments including a headlamp.
RE: Just a Passing Assassin... - King-Clod - 04-13-2022
Seconding transforming weapon, but I do think it'd have a keychain at the end, like on the keyblades in Kingdom Hearts. Maybe of a rubber duck?
To go with that theme, actually, a nice pair of red leather gloves and a black leather jacket with plaid at the end.
Maybe goggles too, fits with the witch theme.
RE: Just a Passing Assassin... - ThreadLurkingComorant - 04-13-2022
Spiral: Think I had my backpack and my hammer on me.
Spiral: Bag was shaped like a beetle?
![[Image: 963926006027157605_the_sprites_begin.png]](https://homebrewdeviants.com/static/discord_mirrors/963926006027157605_the_sprites_begin.png){kind=icon}
4D: That's adorable… let me see if I can grab it… Were there goggles too?
Spiral: Yeah actually… I thought those would’ve been toast with the rest of me.
4D: Nope, they’re good as can be. Miracle really..
You hear a creaking in the corner.
4D: Ah good, already sending it down!
They walk over to a dumbwaiter in the corner that manages to send it all down nice and easy.
4D returns with items in both hands and places them in front of you.
![[Image: 963925958245634128_unknown.png]](https://homebrewdeviants.com/static/discord_mirrors/963925958245634128_unknown.png)
Your bag has the goggles slung over them as if it were wearing them.
It’s cute…
![[Image: 963929815440842802_unknown.png]](https://homebrewdeviants.com/static/discord_mirrors/963929815440842802_unknown.png)
Your hammer is in good condition. As you recall it’s capable of transforming into a firearm of some kind via folding mechanic.
4D: Think there could be stuff in the bag. We’ll get you a room soon enough and take you there. What type of clothes would you like? We’ll see what we can do.. Umm… how would you like for me to refer to you as?
Spiral: He, Her…. both? Can I do both?
4D: Of course. I have to say I’m surprised you had a weapon like that… where did you find it?
Spiral: I want to say an auction but I might be wrong. Anyway, clothes? This medical robe is uh...
4D: Right! Tell me what you would like.
RE: Just a Passing Assassin... - Ignispark - 04-13-2022
Might be a bit cliche, but something with a coat and a fun hat never goes out of fashion.
RE: Just a Passing Assassin... - Lilium Mortem - 04-13-2022
crop top, fingerless gloves, combat boots, cargo pants, some anime esqe long tailed jacket with complex patterns of lines. all done up in black and red with gold/yellow highlights
RE: Just a Passing Assassin... - King-Clod - 04-14-2022
Seconding every said above, on one caveat
Make that hat a cowboy hat
RE: Just a Passing Assassin... - ThreadLurkingComorant - 04-14-2022
You think hard for a bit. Something cool, a little edgy. Something fit for someone as cool as you.
You fill out the request form, 4D takes a look at it and gives you a face.
You're a little self conscious suddenly.
![[Image: 964045735203057675_unknown.png]](https://homebrewdeviants.com/static/discord_mirrors/964045735203057675_unknown.png)
Spiral: Is something wrong?
4D: A cowboy hat? Not sure if we have one but… oh? I have people upstairs telling me they do actually. Hold on.
The dumbwaiter takes a bit longer to set you up this time but within the next few minutes it arrives with the closest thing they could manage to your request.
It’s a bit of a lot to put on but you can at least recall enough to know this was always your sort of thing.
You take a look at yourself in a mirror.
![[Image: 964043311293820928_sadsadaa.png]](https://homebrewdeviants.com/static/discord_mirrors/964043311293820928_sadsadaa.png)
Not bad. It's you.
4D: That came together pretty nice actually..
Spiral: Think so too. So… what now? You have me here for a reason I think.
4D: Mm! We should take you to your room. We’ll be running some studies soon enough but I think some time to get comfortable with the new body would be good for you. So…
4D: What would you like in your room? We can make all sorts of accommodations. Entertainment, bedding, personal hobbies. You’ll be here for a bit.
RE: Just a Passing Assassin... - Ignispark - 04-14-2022
A bed. A chair. A table. A lamp. All essentials. Can't be without a lamp. Can you imagine a lampless world? Uh. And. Got any interesting books on science or witchcraft that could be borrowed?
RE: Just a Passing Assassin... - King-Clod - 04-14-2022
Beanbag chair. A game system and some rpgs, cheap ones, I'm not picky. Maybe some materials to make kites, I think I like making things with my hands like that. And a full-length mirror to pose in, obviously.
RE: Just a Passing Assassin... - Lilium Mortem - 04-14-2022
Mini-fridge stocked with fresh fruit and juice. A rubber duck and beetle plushes. a lava lamp. Seconding games console.
RE: Just a Passing Assassin... - ThreadLurkingComorant - 04-16-2022
![[Image: 964695245851881493_unknown.png]](https://homebrewdeviants.com/static/discord_mirrors/964695245851881493_unknown.png)
Spiral: A lot of the essentials first. Bed, table, lamp mirror, a mini-fridge stocked with fruit stuff…
4D: You’re going to be here awhile, indulge in a bit more.
Spiral: Beanbag chair, some games maybe? Plushes… shaped like ducks or beetles even… uh…gaming stuff in general. Maybe some recreational stuff? Kite making stuff sounds fun, I like working with my hands. A lava lamp could be cool…
4D: Absolutely.
Spiral: And some books! Witchy books or sciences. I like keeping my studies up.
4D: We actually have a library that’s pretty well stocked.
Spiral: That’s perfect then.
4D: Going to take some time to get all of it but we’ll try to grab what we can for now. At the very least today you’ll have a bed and lamp going.
Spiral: So what’s the catch?
4D: The catch is you’re going to be part of our study, testing the physical feats of experimental body types and writing down how they feel. Think of it as being paid to flex muscles. You signed on as a donor so you know…
Spiral: Did I?
4D: We all did for one reason for another.
You can’t remember how true that is but it doesn’t sound wrong.
4D: Anyway you do good work in here and you’ll be let out so no worries there. We’ll fill you in further but for now let me introduce you to your buddy who’s going to help you learn the ropes.
4D walks toward the door and gives it a little knock.
4D: You can come on in whenever you’re good.
After a moment of silence, the knob turns.
Stepping in is a woman covered in stitch-like markings and accessories with a powerful aura. You can practically see it. You get the sense there's some sort of danger barely contained in her. Her smile however is genuine enough.
![[Image: 964695206588989500_unknown.png]](https://homebrewdeviants.com/static/discord_mirrors/964695206588989500_unknown.png)
???: Never worked with a newcomer before, you’re plenty dressed for the job ahead though.
???: Mostly anyway.
4D: Allow me to introduce you to-
???: I got it covered. Name’s Steady.
She gives you a good look.
Steady: A lot sturdier in frame than some of the earlier builds. Probably got a lot of muscle off the bat. Kind of like it.
Steady: So, talk to me. I know you got lots of questions and so do I.
Now’s your moment to make a first impression. You should also probably look for some answers on what exactly is going on here. You get the feeling they’re going to really make you work.
RE: Just a Passing Assassin... - Ignispark - 04-16-2022
Ask what the best advice they could've gotten when they started out was. And what they think the best things to know would be. They know what's ahead. You don't. So, make use of that to try to pry the best info as quickly as possible.
RE: Just a Passing Assassin... - Lilium Mortem - 04-16-2022
isn't true resurrection impossible? I thought there was always a catch? how long has it been since I died? Where exactly am I? What exactly am I now? What's the deal with this organization? what do you mean by 'dressed for the job'? What exactly are you going to have me do?
