As your vision came back to you, you found yourself on a stone street, with large, imposing buildings all around you, also made of the same dark stone. As you looked down the street, your eyes were drawn to a massive castle-like structure in the distance, with red flags hanging from the sides... "Am I in Noxus?" you wondered, vaguely recognizing the symbol on the flag from some of the champion splash arts. "Cool! Bet I could find someone fun to possess here... as long as they don't kill me first," you think, remembering how many Noxus champs have a tendency to "kill first, ask questions never."
Suddenly, you heard a shout behind you, followed by what sounded like... a stampede? You turned around to see a massive carriage barreling towards you, being led by two absolutely giant horses. "Fuck!" you shout, but in your panic you aren't sure how to get out of the way fastest - left, right, duck down? As the horses bear down on you, you freeze up and shut your eyes, silently hoping that maybe you're just dreaming, and haven't actually been transported to a video game world, when you suddenly feel a hand grab your arm and pull you violently to the side - the horses and carriage whizzing past just inches from your face, narrowly missing you.
"You trying to get yourself killed or something, kid?" an accented voice says, and you turn around to see who had pulled you out of the way - it's Samira! You hadn't played as Samira too much in game, but you had definitely played against more than your fair share of extremely fed Samiras, so you recognized her by her long, braided hair, dark skin, armored leather clothes, and general sense of style. Two guns hung from her hips, and her massive sword was slung over her back. You looked up to meet her eye contact from her single eye, the other covered by her eyepatch, and suddenly realized she was staring daggers at you. "If you've got a death wish or something, couldn't you do it somewhere else? People are trying to drink in here, idiot!" She points behind her with a thumb, and you look to see that the building she had evidently just come out of was apparently a tavern or bar.
"I... no, I wasn't, I just got lost. Thanks for... saving me," you stumble over your words, trying not to piss her off any more than she already was. Her stare softens slightly at your response, and she shakes her head.
"Don't mention it, kid." she laughs slightly, before turning around to head back inside. "Shit, can't let this opportunity get away!"
"Wait!" you say, and she turns around to look at you again. "Are... aren't you Samira? The Desert Rose?"
She tilts her head curiously, and smiles. "Well, well, you've heard of me, have you? Only the fun things, I hope!" She looks back at the bar briefly, before turning back to you and continuing with a sly grin, "How's about I let you buy me a drink? You know, as thanks for my heroic rescue?"
"I, uh... I don't have any money."
"Eh, we can sort out the details later. Now come on, kid, try not to slow me down." With that, she turns and starts walking back to the bar. You look around briefly, seeing that by some stroke of luck there's no one else around right now - this is your chance!
You lightly jog to catch up to Samira, and as you do you hold out the hand with the gauntlet on it, focusing your intent through it, and just as you reach Samira you reach out and place your hand on her shoulder, feeling a pulling sensation, and just before your vision blacks out you hear Samira gasp in surprise...
***
You wake up, and immediately notice that you can only see out of one eye; the other is blocked by... what feels like an eyepatch strapped around your head. As you lift a hand to check, you see your hand is wearing a leather glove, and your eye follows the arm up to confirm that this is definitely not your arm - not only is your skin darker, but you now have tattoos along your entire arm, and you can definitely feel more muscle definition than you had before. You look down, and confirm your suspicion - it worked! "I'm possessing Samira!"
Your long, dark hair is hanging over your shoulder, and you can feel the weight of the gold jewelry she uses to keep the braids tight. Below that, you're now wearing her thick leather top over an expensive red fabric, both short enough to expose her toned midriff, and leaving your shoulders exposed to show off your muscles. You can also feel Samira's sword hanging off your back, and resist the temptation to grab it and swing it around like she does in game. Further down, you're wearing her black leather shorts, just long enough to cover that absence you're definitely feeling from what you're used to, as well as her leather leggings, leading down to her thick boots with just enough of a short heel to alter your posture - you can feel it pushing your ass out as try to stand normally in them.
Samira's two guns are also now hanging from your hips, and you rest a hand on the holster, when you notice your gauntlet had now manifested onto Samira's hand. Suddenly, it starts to glow, and as the glow brightens you feel a new pressure in your head, forcing your eyes closed. Then, as quickly as it had started, the pressure released, and you let out a gasp as you feel the change - you have Samira's mind at your command now! Her personality, all of her memories and skills, all at your disposal, just as if it were your own. Smiling, you reach for your right hand gun - "Blaze," you recall its name - and unholster it, spinning it around in your hand like a carnival trick.
"Well, Samira... thanks for the lift." you laugh to yourself, returning your gun to its home at your hip. "Don't worry, I'll try not to slow you down." With that, you look back at the bar, recalling the drink Samira had left unfinished when she saw your dumb ass out in the street, and start walking back in - Samira was on a brief vacation between jobs, and you planned to enjoy every second of it.
