If you succeed, a specific period of time (up to 1 week long) from your target’s memory is either replaced with new memories or forgotten entirely. This is recorded as a Condition. The level of detail and completeness of the alteration depends on your Outcome. If you fail, the target realizes that you are attempting to alter their memories.
The period is chosen either by time (i.e. “last friday night”) or by reference to a specific event (i.e. “when the murder occurred”). You may also choose to only alter a single specific detail rather than an entire period, such as a password, phone number, directions, or you may remove all knowledge of one specific thing, regardless of time period, such as a loved one, a location, a prized possession, etc.
If the target is confronted with compelling evidence that contradicts their memories, they may roll Mind at Difficulty 8. If their Outcome exceeds your Outcome on the initial roll, they realize that their memory for that period was manipulated, but they will not regain their old memories. If they fail, they will invent new memories to justify the inconsistencies. For instance, if their memory was altered to include a new friend they don’t have, they may invent further memories of meeting that friend, spending time with them, etc.
After you finish activating this Effect, you cannot move quicker than a walk (max 15 feet per Round) for one minute and suffer a -1 dice penalty for an hour.

Guppy can take a needle and slides it through the plush body of a small plush toy. After one minute of pseudo-sewing, the plush seems to come to life-- stand on two legs and do as it wishes, at the beck and call of Guppy and his commands. Should it need to communicate with Guppy, it does so in a variety of squeaks.
After the incident with the stranger, some terrible rumors sprouted from the disappearance. A bunny, too, disappeared from class during the time that Guppy was supposed to take care of it. Guppy didn't have many friends after this. That was when he took his needle to his already made plushies. He put down his dinosaur and made some new seams into the dino using his needle and some thread... and it sprouted to life! Guppy was the one who got hugged this time, just like he wanted when he tried something new with his dinosaur. Now it was the time for hiding as, one day, the bunny returned to class. But it was different. The bunny was a lot more... fluffy than before. Softer. But no child paid any mind to it. As long as they said it was a bunny, the bunny was a bunny, right? And if there was a problem, surely the bunny would squeak up about it.

The area within 25 feet of you immediately and obviously becomes imminently dangerous. Roll Charisma + Performance at Difficulty 6. Targets inside the radius may attempt an appropriate Reaction at GM’s discretion.

This counts as a successful Makeshift Stabilization if the Injury was not already Stabilized; any Battle Scars caused by the Injury will remain.
If your Outcome is greater than the Severity of the Injury you were attempting to treat, you may apply any excess Outcome to other Injuries on yourself.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see you drink blood directly from the vein.
