But here's how it works: you do a task for us, we give you the power. Unlike the healing, this doesn't work as an IOU—you have to do the task first, within seven days, and no, you don't get to know what it is beforehand. Don't bother asking. Powers are all one use only, and most of them can't be used in trial. Mine can't, and you'll have to ask the others about theirs.
You can only request room service once a week, and you can only have one room service task pending at a time. That means if you ask me officially, you're blocked from anyone else until you're done. Got that?
The dispel effect, but I have a question first. The part about using it preemptively, do I use it and then wait for someone to maybe hit me, or do I have to pick a time right before it happens because it'll run out?
It doesn't expire. Just keep in mind it's only one or the other. You can only use it either preemptively or to cancel out a present effect.
Also, just so we're on the same page: "effect" in this context is for curse-type stuff. So if you tried using it on someone who, say, had Who's There active, it wouldn't cancel that power.
That's fine. I just need to know you didn't throw a dart or that you're not going to just hoard it for the sake of hoarding.

Talk to three different people about who your hostage is and what they mean to you. They shouldn't know it's for a task or be someone you already talked to about this, and you should ideally be subtle about integrating it into the conversation for at least most of 'em.
Then, report back to me.

All right, then. Anyone explained to you yet how this works?

I mean... sort of obvious, isn't it? Don't want to be cursed. Want to be able to get rid of one. Contingency plans.
Am I supposed to tie it into murder somehow? Don't want the murder to fuck up with interference.

I get the feeling you’re maybe being an ass on purpose.

Seven days, right?

They're not meant to be easy. And yes, so get to it.
