  • Cateline : my best friend, confidante. She keeps bees for leisure, but has started selling her wares in an attempt to gain a bit more independence.
  • Vauquelin : the apothecary owner. He provides me with the herbs and other materials I require without asking too many questions. He knows what I'm up to, he must, but he's never used it against me.
  • Rolant : my lover. He is a doctor, and has always insisted my interest in medicine is endearing, but ultimately frivolous. I won't tell him what's I'm doing. At least, not yet...
  • Pestilence (immortal): he wears the Plague doctor's mask, but he does not heal.
  • Black Lesions: they radiate out from my eyes and up from my left hand -- the one Pestilence held.

Homo homini lupus est: man is a wolf to man

Prompt
You develop a system for eating. What is it? What happens to those who die? Create a skill that reflects this.

Birth is dangerous. Many mothers don't survive. Many children don't either, but I can't seem to bring myself to eat them.
My uniform has always been soaked in blood, but now it pools at the collar.
I volunteered to bury the bodies, citing health concerns. I dig. I don't need to: I eat the bones. But I dig anyway. I'm getting stronger and it feels good to move the earth.

+1 Skill: Strength
