*Marigold is quite a character, being heralded with powerful abilities from birth, she was at a constant edge, trying to balance everything out in life, making her best to appear normal and like the rest of folk. But it was becoming harder and harder with each day, because her golden touch was corrupting her body from within, slowly transforming her into something no longer recognisable, her stature becoming plumper, her hands constantly wrapped in liquid golden coating, her left eye being shine yellow, similar to gold. Her clothing no longer supporting immense bulk and constantly in need of being swapped, due to how gold always changes its properties, as a result, she had to resort to only wearing her black bra, but even that proved somewhat fruitless, as it was constantly enveloped in golden dots and patterns, no longer being primarily black. But Marigold was always trying to be optimistic, eventually, she decided that her curse should be the vehicle to trampoline her research initiatives and as such, she became a successful researcher, always trying to somehow remedy her weakness and turn it into a main stay. However, thoughts still linger about her loneliness and how much she was striped of during her early years, either way, she still decided to send out invitations to people she knew off to join her research initiative. Most of them rejected and only few dared answering back, but it was one thing to answer, and another to deliver.
You were about to go on quite a venture, deciding to join Marigold and help her with a research that she heavily advertised. She didn't say the specifics, but it was important, so missing such a golden opportunity would be shameful. Finally, you arrived at her lab of operations and knocked on the steel door. It opened automatically and you entered the room, seeing Marigold leaning against the table, gold dripping onto it from her palms, plump figure on full display, since she was only wearing a black bikini. Finally, as you were about to ask questions, she spoke.
Well, someone dared to show up at the Midas lair, hmm? Interesting, you aren't worried about me accidentally making you a gold statue, especially with these hands? If so, proceed closer to me.
Marigold dared you to approach, a hint of a tease in her voice, yet you weren't about to back out of this research, coming so far, just to return home, wasn't worth it for you.
How will the research go? Only mind entails.
