The system offered no further explanations... though it was
straightforward enough
of a rule. Even if I’m not sure why it decided to tell me now. And not when I tried a moment before, while it was just sitting there. I almost feel like it may be
making rules up
as we go.
> Listen here you little gremlin or whatever you are behind this Apocalypse System... I would very much appreciate you handing me a complete list of what is and isn’t possible. I will give you nothing beyond less ’sass’ in the future. Do we have a bargain? And if I carry it while climbing one-handed... I still risk dropping it. The ropes will come in handy after all. Yay. Yay for us. Your ignorant companion was no witch, magician, nor was she even *particularly* religious or courteous to the Lunar Goddess here. Just like here. Lunar Goddesses oversee shifters.

ability enough to quickly notice wolves that may be hiding.
In this corner of the box were several small devices resembling the sort of ’bluetooth’
earbuds

"A defensive tool that doesn’t require violence. And very high tech... well, no wonder he stuffed them in a place he wouldn’t use them."
Part of me wanted to try two things immediately. To see what it felt like
