Raising the slice of pizza to his face in both hands in a particularly murine fashion, Luci gnaws his way through the strange edible necklace that he typically only nibbles at in order to survive.
Eventually finishing the slice after a minute, tentacles at once begin to sprout their way from under his shoulder-blades and coil around him in a fashion that has grown comforting as of late, growing in number until enwreathing him fully in an almost swaddling fashion — leaving only his serene and dozing expression visible.
When after quite some time he finally decides to leave his warm and familiar embrace, a half dozen cherubim swarm around the empty necklace, standing only 4 inches tall and adorned in old Roman garb as Lares reattach tiny globules of dough and sauce to the thread: one piece at a time by hand.
I left the face open on the cocoon since from a visual standpoint I pictured it as looking better and it also better explains being able to perceive his environment. Please do not blast him in the face with a flamethrower
(Cocoon stuff is probably normally done with transparent forcefield energy stuff, so just explain the face part as that if needed)
Original thought was for fairies to be rebuilding the pizza, but Contract fey would sooner kill and eat an unattended child than help him in any way, so based it on old Roman house spirits since he has Italian heritage and those are probably less evil

You no longer require any food, water, or air in order to survive. You no longer age naturally, and supernatural attempts to age you fail. Any roll to resist an Effect dependent on any affected requirement automatically succeeds.

You may still perceive the outside world and may spend 3 Rounds "waking up" to end it. While cocooned you can take a maximum of 1 Damage from any attack, and are impervious to environmental conditions.
The necklace consists of a thin metal chain and a teardrop pendant filled with the ash of a vampire. Upon closer inspection, it can be seen that both the chain and the droplet are slightly transparent, and there is no hole through which the necklace pierces the pendant.
Through a ritual, the incorporeal form of a vengeful specter was bound to the ash of a vampire. The undead remains combined with the incorporeal body create an artifact that lends undead resilience to the user.

Spend an Action. Select a number of Living targets equal to your Charisma within 45 feet. Roll Charisma + Alertness at Difficulty 6. Affected targets can resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 6 -3 dice.
If you succeed, for the next hour, affected targets will do things they otherwise wouldn’t have done, inspired by obsession. They will not necessarily display their emotions in an obvious way.
Actions they take will be in keeping with their character and the way they tend to deal with strong emotions. They will be unlikely to change their mind about any actions taken or decisions made until after the Effect ends.
If you choose to use Chain of Screaming, your target interacts with any valid target, they must roll Self-Control or be swept up in the same emotion. New targets pass it on as well, and so on, with the remaining duration decreasing by half until the chain stops.

Restricted targets may escape their binding by spending an Action and taking a Severity-1 Injury. Their movement is reduced by 10 feet until the Injury heals.
You may use this Effect as a Reaction to contest any physical Action a target is taking. Excess Outcome does not restrict the target. This interrupts Concentration.

The spy can do up their passport to appear as any valid form of identification.
This Artifact can change its appearance. When not transformed, it is roughly the same size as a passport but can be collapsed into a wallet and concealed. Collapsing or expanding it costs a Quick Action.
Spend a Quick Action to activate. This Artifact changes its appearance into a chosen Object. This lasts until you decide to end the Effect, which may be done as a Free Action.
The new object's appearance can mimic specific items (such as a particular painting, a certain person’s ID, etc), but must be of a similar size and weight to this Artifact.
The new appearance is illusory; it will hold up to scrutiny, but its composition is not altered and it gains no new functionality. Any attempt to use it for a function which it cannot perform (for instance, making bread look like a knife and then trying to stab someone) will cause the illusion to fail or allow a Perception check to see through the illusion, at the GM's discretion.
