They will also awaken before dying of hunger, thirst, or suffocation. Drowsy targets always fall asleep, regardless of what happens while they are drowsy.
An affected target's dreams while they are asleep will involve you in some way, and will reveal you as the source of their sleep as well as reveal secret information about yourself to them.
When activating this Effect you may attempt a knockout. If you do and your Contested Outcome exceeds 4, the target falls asleep immediately. Otherwise, they suffer the drowsy penalty for 2 Rounds.
Marks body is becoming more and more conditioned for excruciatingly hard impacts and sudden bursts of muscle tension. His muscles aren't destroyed by exercise, instead simply multiplying almost on the fly. This has the unfortunate side effect that on the cellular level, all his muscles aren't the same length, some stretched or coiled like a spring no matter his position- Luckily they stretch impossibly without breaking, and the expected pain is nearly unnoticed to Mark. In exchange, his twitch reflex is beyond measure- some section of muscles is always poised for instant action.
He can't turn on a dime, reverse, or stop unless he has something to hold onto or kick off of, but he is very good at landing. It's very much like he's just good at throwing himself and sticking (or well, surviving) the landing. Enacting the same process in reverse, throwing out his arms and taking the impact (or catching himself thanks to armored fist)
