Given the choice of Nine Marks, each with their own Alignment, and with real-time consequences due to Alignment, most would choose from the Good, Neutral, or Lawful choices; sheer self-preservation, after all, is important to most people.
Tabitha, however, has always rather fancied the idea of being a Witch, and when given the choice, it doesn't even cross her mind to choose something different.
Enter Consequences, clad in a Suit of Armor and a perpetual Grimace, sent to decide Tabitha's Fate, depending on an in-depth assessment of her personality.
Of course, it doesn't really help her case for being a good person when she's actively trying to take over the world the whole time... so she's got her work cut out for her.

Its shadow is like smoke on the wind, all who detect it know of a fire burning but can the flames be found and extinguished before the inferno spreads out of control? We are all kings or pawns, for life is but a game played by immortals. Who are the players and what is the goal?
