[QUOTE="skotothalamos, post: 4877963, member: 83398"] Another humanoid construct enters the Hanged Man and looks around. At first, it appears to be an animated suit of chainmail. Those who choose to look more closely will see more fine chains where one would expect to see exposed flesh. Bundles of these tiny thin chains seem to contract and relax in a manner similar to threads of muscle tissue. Even the thing's face is a fine mesh of miniscule chains shaped into a mechanical mockery of a human face. Fiery green orbs float in the space where one would expect to find eyes. The assembled patrons of the Hanged Man who choose to notice the newcomer can't help but match the gaze of those eerie eyes. They feel compelled to hold that gaze for just a moment, and are left with the unshakeable feeling that they have just been judged by some higher power, and found wanting. Guilt over past (and current) misdeeds picks at the corners of their minds, leaving them questioning a lifetime of choices. These thoughts are rapidly subsumed again as the chain thing proceeds to the bar. [COLOR=White]Its hand reaches for a barstool, but just before making contact, the tiny chains of its fingers seem to break free of their anthropomorphical structure and become a writhing mass of tiny linked tentacles which grasp the stool in a hundred places, drawing it back a foot or so in order that the construct can sit. It then lets go of the [/COLOR]chair and sits as its hand reforms into a hand shape.
