[wisterin]

[ good job....

Ok, cetus. Shinobu comes to the front desk, as instructed. ]

[guestservices]

[hello. they're here, and they hold out their hand.]

I'll need your key for a moment.

[wisterin]

[ oh something clicks

She hands it over. ]

Here.

[guestservices]

[they take it. after a few moments, one of the stars at the bottom lights up and remains lit.

they hand it back to shinobu.]

There. It's yours now.

[sacrifice is now hers! as stated on the menu, it allows her to either a) transfer any degree of her own injuries to another, living target or b) to transfer any degree of another living person's injuries to her, but in the latter case they will return to the original person after 24 hours. (this also exempts potentially dealbreaking/squicky injuries like limb loss for ooc reasons.) one use only.]

[wisterin]

[ she pockets the key. ]

Thank you, Cetus-san. Do you have some free time?

[guestservices]

[also i forgot to mention but this week they have blue, energy-like wings coming from their back.]

I do. [headtilt] Why?

[wisterin]

Will you take a small walk with me?

[guestservices]

All right. Where to?

[wisterin]

The courtyard, please. Thank you for providing the seeds for the wisteria trees.

[ ... ]

I'm truly grateful.

[guestservices]

[...]

Mikazuki is the one you should be thanking, really.

[wisterin]

He knows how much I appreciate it, but you didn't have to grant the request or have them grow so quickly.

[ she looks over at them. ]

Am I right that you and the others don't have grant every request that someone asks of you of that kind?

[guestservices]

We certainly can't grant every request, no.

[wisterin]

What are the types of requests you can grant?

[guestservices]

Hm... well, they're not strictly defined, so it'd be easier if you gave me an example.

[wisterin]

If I wanted something from home that I didn't have here? A piece of clothing or an accessory?

[ where cetus has blue, energy-like wings, shinobu has a singular butterfly wing. i just decided. ]

[guestservices]

[shinobu your butterfly...]

Unfortunately, that wouldn't be a request we could grant. I'm sorry.

[wisterin]

[ her smile is faint. ]

I thought so. Is there anything you miss from home, Cetus-san?

[guestservices]

I don't have much attachment to any material objects, I think...

[wisterin]

Not even if they can symbolize someone you care about?

[guestservices]

I can't really think of anything like that.

[wisterin]

[ she smiles. ]

Is that so? What are you attached to, then?

[guestservices]

The people themselves, I guess.

[wisterin]

[ her smile is warmer. ]

It is the people who matter most, always, but when I can't be with them, I cherish the memories I have.

[ and sometimes, that's in the items that help represent them. ]

[guestservices]

[a headtilt]

Do these trees remind you of them, then?

[wisterin]

In some ways, but no one specifically. The trees symbolize safety and protection more than anything else.

The ability to save and keep them from harm.
