Somewhere Between Lovers and Strangers

"I wish these glitters would just disappear..." Ru muttered, watching the shimmering particles cling stubbornly to his fingers like stardust, refusing to fade.

The card in his hand suddenly pulsed with violet light. Text materialized in the air before his eyes in jagged, carnival-style font:

"Wish granted. Jester's Third Skill: Activated."

"What's that?" Ru's breath caught as the card grew warm in his grasp. The illustrated jester on its surface winked at him before splitting into three spectral images, each representing a different ability. The third one blazed brightest - a swirling vortex of chaotic energy that made Ru's pulse quicken.

Carnival of Chaos:

This ability allows the Jester to undergo a chaotic transformation, taking on the form and abilities of other creatures in the game. The Jester's skill and knowledge of the mimicked creature determine its effectiveness.

"Creatures? No way!"

"Don't overthink it," Mod typed—uncharacteristically curt.
