[ if aquila is bothered by this, they do not show it at all! they just hum. ]
Pretty simple. When you pick out one you want, you call the staff member in charge of it. You explain why you want that power, they decide if that's a good reason. If they like it, they'll give you a task to do, and you get a week to do it. Once you do the task, you get the power.
There are some other limits, but you get into that with the staff member you're requesting from. That why you came?
[ they nod, and then hold up their fingers, one at a time, as they tick off some of the limits. ]
First, you gotta tell me why you want it, like I said. You also need to tell me what it is.
Second, I decide if that reason works, then I'm gonna assign you a task. You get a week to finish it. Soon as you finish it and report back to me, you get access to the power. Faster you finish it, faster you get the weapon.
Once you decide and agree, there's no taking it back. Once you've got the task, that's your task. If you don't like it, too bad. You can't ask any other staff members for a power this week either, once you're locked in with me.
So once you give me the task, I'm locked in with you but only for the rest of the week? And only for one of the room services--I can still go talk to someone else about a second, right?
...do you guys talk to each other about who's getting what?
First part - yeah. Rest of the week, you're locked in with me.
Second part, you can, but you can't have another Room Service this week. So, if you want to go get a second, it has to wait until Monday, but you can get whatever Room Service you want then. Could come back to me, or you could go to someone else. Make sense?
[ they tilt their head to his second question, thoughtful. ]
I mean, we all work here, so we can see what's going around. Why do you ask?
Can't have another one this week, huh? Let me think on that and I'll get back to you.
Just wondering if you all coordinated ahead of time who was gonna offer what room service. And if you're gonna know who got what even if it wasn't from you.
[ raises an eyebrow. That's pretty telling in itself. ] Let's go with before I was frozen. [ mostly because, quite frankly, Bucky has no idea how to measure their age difference now ]
Then--what, it resets and I have to make a deal all over again with you guys? What if I was halfway done with whatever task you gave me?
Then maybe you should've finished your task faster, huh?
[ you can hear the 'no duh' in that tone. ]
Don't raise your eyebrow at me in that tone of voice! And the age difference is [ the correct number because lisa has informed us now that this number doesn't actually exist in marvel ].
[ he may get the feeling that aquila is giving him a look. ]
I hate to break this to you, buddy, but I know all that stuff already, so you might as well get over it. Y'know the people in my spot probably knew all that shit about you in your other place too, yeah?

That, and I'm interested in your "sting like a bee" offer.

We know everything.
[ and then like that didn't happen: ] By the way, I wouldn't recommend waiting too long.
no subject
[ then, after parsing their comment: ]
Wait, why not?
no subject
[ beyond that, they wave their hand. ] Can't tell you more than that! Gotta make the deal, first.
no subject
...so it's something to do with whatever you want done in exchange for the room service. Yours comes with a deadline?
no subject
And - all of them do. You get to the end of the week.

...alright. So maybe you know a fair amount of stuff. You get that from some file you have on all of us?

That's for me to know, sorry. Benefits you, though, doesn't it? Less explanations.
