Despite your best efforts to appear an easygoing person, people recognize you for who you are - a cut above the rest. It's not intentional, but your best theory is that your uneducated control over *stuff* has something of a passive effect, causing people's brains to soften a bit around you. It's very tragic, but no reason not to take advantage. Of course, that near-idolization does come with an unfortunate recognizability...

Emily does not remember the night she drank from the Red Grail.
Her body does, however.
After a certain party, where she asked Gen-Wyld for better mods - and a willingness to pay, of course - she was denied. After ~~storming out~~ leaving the party, she was approached by another. He offered what she wanted.
Attending a ceremony of the Red Grail, she was offered a chance to drink from it. And she did.
She only remembers what else happened that night in her redmost dreams.
She awoke the next morning in her bed, her body aching. Her fur and bed both soaked with sweat and other fluids. Her muscles - her entire body - bulges and there's a soft feeling of electricity in all of it.
She just hopes the tremors in her paws go away. Cyclobenzaprine seems to help with that.

Doc seems to be in the grips of similar memories, tears running down his chin and dripping onto his hands that are pressed tightly against you. At the point where your mind feels like it's about to break, it's over. Just as quickly as it began. You feel your wounds begin to close.

The creature's claws rip through the poor, defenseless doctor's coat, opening deep gashes in their gut. It bares its fangs to lunge for the killing blow, but the doctor looks up at the attacker.
