Huuhhhhhh...
Well, I'm glad that I'll once more evolve, and it feels worth it, but...
This is new. Getting to choose a new skill... I thought you could only gain skills by evolving or like personal development, so... maybe this is one of those so-called “Personal Abilities”?
Yeah, that must be it... Now, what do I choose?
Voice?
- It is not my responsibility to make your choices. -
Aha. Should've guessed.
Well, let's evaluate our choices.
Venomous Bite, Control Roots, and Double Head, right?
Venomous bite is rather attractive as I kind of want to have the same ability as the White Lily. I mean, that poison was heccin' deadly!
Then again, I didn't really have too much of a use for bite in that last battle, so... well, it might become more useful later.
Double Head seems like an instant no-no. I would rather not have another head if it felt that strange to have just one. Id rather not go through that again.
And then... Control Roots.
I don't know why, but... I feel like this is the way to go.
My current level of absorb is so high that as long as my legs (or roots, whichever works the best) I can win almost any battle. However, I don't know to which extent this ability will go. It might be like having a bunch of arms, but then again... It might be like having a bunch of legs. And I'm not too good at using legs.
Well, if I look at this all...
With Venomous Bite I can bite people so they die even more, but... I already have bite. Im pretty sure I don't need another.
And with Double Head, I really don't see the appeal. Sure, it means probably more E recovery with doubled photosynthesis, but... I get all I need from the ground.
On the other hand, with Root Control...
yeah, I've made a choice.
- What ability would you like to acquire? -
I would like the – Root Control -, thank you very much.
- Preparing Evolution... -
And then it all went black.

First RE:Guards
Status: Never to return again in this form (But the characters shall appear in a rewrite) I used to be a fire fighter. The requirements were easy enough with today's technology. Machines did the heavy lifting. Artificial intelligences put together action plans with the greatest resolution possible. Most days were simple jobs, first aid on minor fires, cats stuck in pipes too fine for machines, or when alarms went off that normal security scans couldn't eliminate. Most of the time our only skill was being willing to go into dangerous areas and follow orders, only I died running into the latest in biological terror. A beast that spawned fire. I remember the pain, it overwhelmed everything. Now I've woken in a new sort of existence. One where the only creature to view is a little girl, and she needs my help. Isabella Brand. Izzy, my one light in world of darkness and pain. She has the makings of a mage in her world and I'm going to be her spirit animal.
