Snippet #1224087

Alexander rose with the sunrise, stretching out on his bed and soaking up as much of the comfortable warmth as he could before throwing off the sheets and getting ready for his day. Rifling through his suits, Alexander picket his favorite, most comfortable suit and set it down on his bed before walking over to his window and watching the sunrise while sipping on a small glass of brandy. After finishing his morning ruitine, Alexander stood in front of his mirror and adjusted his appearance, changing the color scheme of his suit and changing his eye color and hair color to match it, even adjusting his exact skin tone to go well with the suit, slightly adjusting his facial features as well. On his way out the door, Alexander picked up his briefcase and checked his cache of materials. Several stacks of one-dollar bills that would provide the tactile back for his illusions, a meddley of other bits and baubles to provide some backing for his visual tricks, and tucked in one corner slightly crumpled were his business papers. Gathering his briefcase, his cane which today he decided would look oaken with gold bands, and his handgun tucked into an inner pocket.

Walking relaxedly down the street towards the office building in which he worked, Alexander idly sent a few illusions flittering down across the street, simple butterflies and a cougar rushing down the street. With a nod towards the man who had challenged him to a combat yesterday, Alexander brought four copies of himself around him, each making slightly different motions at different times, providing slight confusion as to which was the real physical Alexander.

*Should be another boring day, perhaps I should fight somebody today, mess around with my rank a bit to see what it's like. I'll flip a coin during lunch.* Alexander reached his building and sighed dejectedly at the boring turn his life had taken.
