T is for Time

It bends to my will

It does what I say

For good or for ill

MY NAME IS . . . Pepper John

AND I AM A . . . Culinary Assassin

---

WHAT'S BEEN KEEPING YOU AWAKE? Memories. I remember all the greatest hits of mega-band Fleetwood Tull and all 13 seasons of Joss Whedon's Firefly. I remember New York style pizza and the sweet freckle-faced girl who grew up on Aspen street.

I remember. The world does not.

WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO YOU? My brother, Brian, died 137 times. I keep changing time to stop it from happening, but he just dies a different way. It's exhausting.

WHAT'S ON THE SURFACE? Culinary Fusion Chef specializing in Indonesian-Scottish cuisine.

WHAT LIES BENEATH? Clocks. Lots of ticking clocks. Soooooo many clocks.

WHAT IS YOUR PATH? To find a day where Brian doesn't die.

EXHAUSTION TALENT

Knife Work: I can butcher a carcass in seconds. I can carve a cucumber into a rose. I can whittle a house from a lumber yard. If it can be done with a blade, I can do it.

MADNESS TALENT

Manipulating Time: I can make it accelerate, I can slow it down. I can skip ahead, I can step back. I can stop it altogether and walk away.

(1-2 Madness Dice) Some time bubbles are small. Manipulate moments in time.

(3-4 Madness Dice) Some are large. Manipulate hours.

(5-6 Madness Dice) Some have the power to rewrite destiny. Fundamentally change the fabric of reality.
