That doesn't sound... impossible. But then what does it want? If it just wants us to attack each other, shouldn't these urges have a bigger effect on us?
So as it gets stronger, we'll start acting out sooner and more violently? But what's making it stronger, then?

Well, not exactly like this, but... There are some similarities. The chromatus changes you the more you use it, but your personality generally stays in tact. But divergence catalysts can definitely alter the way their hosts think and behave.
It's a power given to people by Chronos, the Great Spirit of Time.
[ a beat of hesitation ]
Specifically, to people of Milla Kresnik's line. But the more you use it, or the more powerful the chromatus is, the more corrupted the user becomes. It's painful, and leaves a physical mark that grows as your condition advances.
... Yuki said something like that too. But isn't it pretty standard to keep track of people who owe a lot of money? And it's not like most businesses want to take a risk on someone like that...

I think someone left a window open in the cafeteria. Except I couldn't find it?

I guess I should be glad we didn't all catch colds while we were knocked out.

[Weird.]
We smelled smoke around the infirmary, but there was no fire.

Oh, did you get your injury taken care of? From your fight?

Maomao really knows her stuff.

I'm glad some of us here do. I only know basic basic stuff, and I'd need a first aid kit.
[ which... are in somewhat lacking supply. ]
Why'd you even tease Childermass so much?

I like the man. Honest.

I hope these alterations go away. It was funny at first, but I'm a little tired of the urges I get.
no subject
[He's frowning a little.]
Do you think this place means to make us act out of control? To get what it wants.

You don't have anything like this, right? Where you're from.

Sorry. You have to explain. What is this chromatus?

Ludger. Are you from Milla Kresnik's line?

his gaze returns to Hansa as he smiles wryly. yeah, that was pretty obvious, wasn't it? ]
It was a surprise to me too, trust me. One day I'm just trying to find a job, the next I've got all this apparent family drama happening around me.
no subject
[Hm.]
Did someone tell you about it?
no subject
[ sigh! echoed by me bc what the fuck is the X2 timeline! ]
I pieced some parts together with my friends, and others- well. Turns out my new boss was my father.
no subject
That really IS family drama.
[And for a couple of months, too...]
Can't you just say that you don't want to use that power? And leave?

[ family, man. ]

Spirius Corporation was the only business that would legally employ me after Rideaux forced me into debt. So. No easy way out of that.

They literally blacklisted you from a job? At that point, I'd just throw a fit.
