[guestservices]

[they give a light bow in return, before they nod.]

I won't be able to elaborate on the specific powers beyond the ones I offer, but what are your questions?

[mustbepurged]

S-so they are powers! [It sure sounded that way, but this is new for Estelle.]

Is there a cost? And when it says "up to two room services total," is that for our entire stay?

[guestservices]

Correct, it's for your entire stay. Furthermore, even if you use one—as each power is one use only—it continues to count towards that maximum.

[mustbepurged]

So we have to think very carefully if we want to choose one...

The two associated with you were "Sacrifice" and "Research and Preparation," right?

"Transfer injuries to a target"... Does that mean all injuries, or can it be specific ones?

[She's not reading off anything; she just memorized it.]

[guestservices]

It's to the degree of the user's choosing, so it can be specific injuries.

[mustbepurged]

Does it work on anything? Say, if someone lost a limb...

[She pales a little? She's imagining it. Maybe even for the second time now, I don't know.]

[guestservices]

Not quite anything. Limb loss would likely be too drastic to transfer over.

[also the mod will just say here for clarification since cetus cannot see past the fourth wall: any major injury where an involuntary recipient might oocly have it as a strict "no" will not work :pensive: ]

[mustbepurged]

Oh... I see. [She nods. That means she can stop picturing it!]

More importantly, an injury transferred to the user lasts 24 hours... At the end of that time, will it return to the original person? Or will it go away completely?

[guestservices]

It will return to the original person.

[mustbepurged]

Oh... so it can give temporary relief, but it can't be used to properly heal someone...

[guestservices]

Yes. [an apologetic bow of their head.] There are limits to what we can offer, so as to prevent imbalance.

[mustbepurged]

I understand. [She gives them a smile!]

Okay, how about the other one? "Decipher what powers a target possesses and if any have been used."

Does that specifically mean the "room service" powers from those two menus?

[guestservices]

It includes those, yes.

[mustbepurged]

[She looks uncertain for moment... but then she just nods!] I see.

I appreciate you answering me. It feels like a big decision, so I think I'll wait before choosing anything... That's okay, right?

[guestservices]

Of course. [they nod.] Do note, however, that we can each give out a power only a certain number of times each week, and in total. There'll be enough opportunities to obtain one of the room service powers, at least, but it may not be your first choice if you delay for too long.

[mustbepurged]

Oh...! Thank you. That's good to know.

... Say, while we're talking, can I ask about something else too? I have these tickets for the gift shop... Do you know anything about the items on display there?

[guestservices]

So to speak. What were you wondering?

[mustbepurged]

Some of the prices seemed strange...

Why does a can of soda cost three tickets, when we can get similar drinks from the vending area for free?

[guestservices]

If the price seems unusual, you may assume that there may be more than meets the eye.

[mustbepurged]

So there might be something special about it? And the other higher-priced items, too?

[guestservices]

I think that would be a wise assumption.

[mustbepurged]

Is there any way to find out what's special about them...? Either before or after buying one?

[guestservices]

Should you purchase an item, its uses will be clear to you.

[mustbepurged]

Got it. So it's sort of a gamble...

How can I get more tickets?

[guestservices]

Consistent or notable performance, generally.
