He took Oliver's right hand and pressed it against the topmost corner. There was an instant of blazing pain, as if his hand were melting away at the wrist in starlight-hot flames. Then the pain was gone, and Ollie and Ezra were looking at a fresh bloody thumbprint. It dried moments later. The paper disappeared again. "This is our little secret," said Ezra, putting one burned hand on Ollie's shoulder. It looked like the burns were... spreading. Like his humanity was flaking away as if it were so much ash. "I don't think you're going to tell anyone. Are you, dear boy?"
Melancholies
EZRA'S RAGE
Oliver cannot reveal just what passed between him and Ezra in this thread, or that Ezra intends to approach others. Should he try, his right hand will begin to burn again; the pain will be such that he will be unable to speak for the duration. However, in return for this, Ollie has gained a boon. Choose one of these three below:
1. Evil Touch - Should someone try to touch Ollie without permission, their attempt will cause them burning pain. This includes accidental bumps.
2. Heraldic Clairvoyance - Ollie can sense nobles and their powers using the same mechanism as his Riser power.
3. Deathspeaker - Ollie is aware of deaths around him, from little bugs up to megafauna. Should a human being be dying within twenty of him, he may choose to intercede with their "death" and prevent it, creating an "undeath bond". Quote Shibe should you wish to use this power.
