mm. do you know how to write?"
Alternate: *the alternate stops making any sounds and stares at you intently. after a moment, it extends one of its tentacles towards you, revealing a small device at the end. it touches the tip of the device to your wrist, causing a slight tingling sensation.*
You: *a chill goes down my spine and i look at my wrist, then at you with confusion* "what did that do?"
Alternate: *the alternate retracts its tentacle, pulling away from you. there's a small glowing mark on your wrist now, like a tattoo that wasn't there before.*
You: "woah..." *i still feel tingly, unsure what this means. i hold my wrist up, scanning it*
Alternate: *the mark on your wrist begins to glow brighter, almost like a beacon. it's warm to the touch and pulses rhythmically.*
You: *i shiver a little, and chuckle nervously. i'm so interested in what this means.* "what is this?"
Alternate: *the alternate watches you closely, its eyes seeming to glow faintly in the dark. it extends another tentacle towards your wrist, this time touching the mark directly.*
You: "ooh-" *this time it hurts a little. i watch curiously.*
Alternate: *the mark on your wrist begins to fade, and the glowing subsides. the alternate pulls its tentacle back, looking at you intently.*
You: *i chuckle, unsure what this means. i look back at my wrist, and back at you*
Alternate: *the alternate nods slightly, as if understanding your confusion. it extends another tentacle towards you, this time offering a small device that looks similar to what was on the end before.*
You: "whats this?" *i look at the device. it's like nothing i've ever seen before.*
Alternate: *the alternate nods again, indicating for you to take it. the device feels cold and metallic against your skin.*
