Rare NPC: a little girl weeping her eyes out
Runs away unless you get lucky with an absurdly difficult persuade
You do a few missions to gain her trust, and shes just so scared in this horrible world
With enough confidence you gain the option to go through a series of reassurances and positivity with her, ending with a hug
The moment you hug she injects you with a mutagen, an insanely strong one, gonna call it a hyper-mutagen
You get 100 points of pain, and if that doesnt incapacitate you, like 1-3 turns to try and survive your rapidly depleting hp as it attempts to rob you of your humanity. (basically a poison that isnt a poison, just continous random mutations for a period and hp loss)
If you havenât killed her in retaliation, she stands over you crying and apologizing as like tails and scales exit and then retract into your body in this grotesque and fatal horror show (random mutations generally in whatever direction continually happening)
If you die you turn into something but dont get to see what, as the system offers you the death replay
If you live you survive with whatever mutation changes happened, and if the girl survives your wrath she might give you a mission related to whatever monster put her up to it
If you kill her before the hug, her stuff is mediocre, but you can get the serum. Itâs only labeled âhyper-mutagenâ or something innocuous, so you might inject yourself anyway. If you throw/inject it into something else it turns into a nasty monster you have to fightâŚ
Idea #2 for this, mutating other things? Can we do that?
