Capricious Spirit's Skin

2
The power to change your appearance.
Used by Nanook, Created by emivvv.
(Anyone who witnesses you activate this Effect is very likely to be disturbed to see black veins pulse, and skin slacken and fold away. )

Skin twists, blackened veins pulse, joints pop - too many joints on that finger, take one away.
Eyes too bright, too focused - deaden them.

Stare into them and you find your skin raising despite your common sense. Your gut screams danger, but your friend looks at you with a smile.
Too wide.

That to destroy earth's music is to create confusion;
that to wreck her appearance is to blind us to beauty;
We indulge her children within us.
