The Feast of Deadly Sins
Who knows what possessed you to go to that banquet? Perhaps it was a holiday and you had nowhere else to go. Maybe you were interested in checking out the mysterious mansion at the end of the road and took your chance. You might have been investigating reports of mysterious disappearances. Maybe you received a distress call from inside the house. Maybe you're just someone hungry who's in need of a free meal.
Whatever brought you, here you are. The banquet hall is full of people from all walks of life. The food is plentiful, and the drinks flow even more so. Why, there's even a team of violinists hovering nearby to provide mood music! All the pieces are in place for the perfect candlelit dinner between you and a few hundred others.
The patrons, you see, are a curious sort. They fancy themselves scholars of human excess and have created this open feast as a way to draw in subjects. The food, wine, and sweets are all drugged. Guests may find their bodies changing or their intentions warping far beyond their wildest imaginations. Or perhaps those impulses were present all along, only being brought out by the free atmosphere.
Won't you join us for dinner?
How it works:
# Eat something! It could be voluntarily, or maybe you've been force-fed.
# Whatever you've just eaten was directly linked to one of the Seven Deadly Sins. Sorry about that.
# Your character (or the character tagging you, or both) will become a personification of that sin.
# Feel free to mix and match as desired. There's plenty of food to go around!
1. Lust. The person sitting next to you is so cute. Look at their eyes. So blue! And now there's heat building up and spreading from the inside out. Perhaps your body is twisting itself as well, becoming more toned and voluptuous. Your genetals are bigger and moister, and you could swear that you've gotten more stamina. But one thing's becoming increasingly certain: you need to have sex, and lots of it.
In the worst case scenarios, those most affected by Lust may find themselves taking on the wings and tail of a succubus or incubus.
2. Gluttony. Whatever you just ate, it was delicious. You need to have more. More of everything. You can't quite seem to take your attention away from the banquet before you. Someone wants to talk? Here's hoping they don't mind if you chat with your mouth full. If you're feeling generous enough, be sure to share with your friends! The food's great, why not make sure everyone's got enough? If they refuse to take bites, they're probably just being polite. Feel free to force food down their throats.
The physicality of this drug varies from person to person. Some people find themselves insatiably starving, as if the food just evaporates on their tongues. Others will find their bodies plumping up to accommodate the voracious overeating. It's okay if you get bigger. Someone will probably be kind enough to give up a neighboring seat so you can rest yourself on two chairs.
3. Greed. This place is full of things you need. It's hosted by people with money. There are obviously rich people at the table right there with you. There's probably a closet full of expensive clothing just down that hall. Nobody will mind if you take it without asking. It looks better on you anyway. If you want something, you should take it. Then you'll have it! You deserve it more than anyone else anyway. The more jewelery you're wearing, the better. Pearls make the person.
Those most affected by Greed may find their bodies shriveling in correspondance with their inner ugliness. Bony and squat, hunched over items they refuse to share... Nobody will take Precious things away! Nobody!
4. Sloth. What a boring party. All these annoying people keep talking about things that don't matter. Nothing matters. It's almost as if there's a haze of apathy descending over your thoughts. Who cares about staying awake? You might as well take a nap right here at the table. You might have just overheard some of the waiters talk about performing experiments on the partygoers, but so what? Everything'll work itself out in the end. If it doesn't, you'll just get up and fix it yourself. Later. Eventually.
Some people mst sensitive to the Sloth drug might find their will to move thoroughly evaporating. They might not even notice themselves turning into something inanimate. Did you think those slouching statues in the foyer were just an artistic statement?
5. Wrath. You don't know when the anger started building up in your belly and you really can't be bothered to care. Someone over there didn't pass the salt quickly enough! They need to have their faces punched in. What made you think you were sitting next to your best friend? With an ugly hairstyle like that? They're obviouslythinking something horrible about you. It can only be settled by starting a fight and hurting them as much as you're sure they've wronged you.
If enough of this drug was taken for physical effects to sink in, Wrath is known to be a furious creature, as primal as an animal might be. A wrath-creature might be covered in sharp porcupinelike needles, or bearing the stripes and fangs of a tiger. Whatever form Wrath takes, it is certainly dangerous. Approach with caution.
6. Envy. It turns on like a lightbulb. You're suddenly hyper-aware that everyone's got such nice things. Why don't you have nice things too? If you can't have something, then nobody should have it! You'll destroy the things that are denied to you. If a woman stole your boyfriend, then maybe she needs to die so you can have him back. Or maybe you should destroy them both. That'll teach them a lesson.
Ingest enough Envy, and others might remark at how green your eyes are becoming. It'll be fine until someone denies you something they obviously have. It won't be your fault when you turn into a hulking emerald beast and start destroying things. They made you do it. Nobody understands how much you need!
7. Pride. You deserve this. This dinner, these guests, this entire experience... You deserve it all. You've suddenly become unapologetic no matter what you do. So you just drank too much wine and decided to dance on a table? You looked good while doing it. Why not say all the things you'd normally hold back? You're perfect. You were invited here because you're perfect. You'd might as well start acting the part.
Take too much Pride, and you might stop noticing the little details that used to be important. The Emperor's New Clothes were invisible, remember? So what if you're naked, or if your body is becoming more stiff and birdlike? Who cares if it's something even worse? You're going to be amazing no matter what you look like.
