    You never asked for this.

    Fortunately, Arthur Sans is not an unreasonable man, and he at least tried to match the magical resonance of the prosthetics to your own. Not that you fully understand the thaumaturgical nuts and bolts of the augmentation process - you just handled security. That was your job.

    But now... well, that's all down to how you'd expect your personality profile to look.

    Your throat feels a little sore, but you think you can talk. On opening your eyes, you're greeted by a bright light that occludes everything else - briefly. It's not so bright in here after all. You can feel your eyes adjust with a shocking level of sensitivity, and the moment you realise this your vision blurs again. A headache arrives like a freight train.

    Your horns are still there, thank goodness.
    Your limbs are... well, you have to admire the craftsman ship. You're clumsy with them, but you can feel the strength. They're beautifully wrought of brass with garnet nodes. That explains the heat - you know enough about magic to know the work of a Conflagrant. You didn't know Sans Arcanists employed any fire-mages, but there you go. Both arms, both legs... at least they kept you hooved.

    Arthur is looking at you with a mix of concern and excitement, bonework right arm raised as if you sit on your shoulder and steady you. He's handsome, in a slightly-graying human way. And Necromancers are sexy anyway. Something about being artists...

    He laughs. You can tell he can't help it.
    "Oh, oh man... Don't worry, you should be able to drink people under the table just the same. Not all the augs are visible."

    As you try to rise, he reaches out with delicate, ticking bonework arm and offers a steadying hand. "You've been out for around thirty hours - had to keep you sedated while I had some of the augs custom forged for you. Surgery must've taken a good twelve hours, at least."
    Huh. He is wearing scrubs over his immaculate three-piece suit - you can see a black silk cravat peeking over the collar. Bloody scrubs, at that.

    The cool tiles are strange under your new hooves, but you can feel yourself adjusting to the augmentations. You're dimly aware of other features built in...
