All right, I'll take that.

Fair warning before I give you the task, though: once I do, you can't take it back. You can let the task expire in a week if you hate it, but you won't be able to request another power from any staff as long as the task is active.

[sageguidance]

Duly noted. We were expected to complete quite a number of tasks back at Wiwaldi, so this is scarcely any different.

[guestservices]

Then here's your task:

Use five bad pick up lines as genuinely as possible on five people.

Do that within a week, report back to me once you're done, and Dispel Effect is yours.

[oocly, for reporting, you can put in an audience and link us to the relevant threads!]

[sageguidance]

[ LMAO. Alphinaud is feeling dead_dove_dont_open.jpg upon reading this. ]

I see that the tasks we are given are no less ridiculous.

[guestservices]

[suffer.]

Reap the consequences of your actions. Get to it, lover boy.

Oh, and a PSA that most of these powers including Dispel Effect can't be activated during trial. Shouldn't matter too much for yours, but it's a heads-up.

[sageguidance]

Yes, yes, worry not. It shall be done.

[ gently places his own dignity in the garbage. who needed that, anyway. ]

While we're on the topic, I do have another question.
Are these the only powers we are limited to? I'll be straightforward: if there is a way for me to regain my healing magicks, then I wish to do so as soon as I am able. If I am to go on past experiences again, there is no doubt it will be needed sooner rather than later.

[guestservices]

The room service menu is set, but you might be able to find similar functions if you keep an eye out.

As for your normal powers specifically, I can't answer that, though I wouldn't exactly bank on it either.

[sageguidance]

Very well. Rules are rules.
I believe that will be all for now, then. I deeply appreciate your time.
Though, I do apologize our first conversation has been all business. Perhaps we can have a more pleasant conversation elsewhere soon?

[guestservices]

There are seven other staff members here better for pleasant conversation, if that's what you want.

[sageguidance]

Not interested? Well, I shall not insist if it is not what you want.
But I would not mind getting to know you better along with the rest of them.

[guestservices]

You're lucky I can't retroactively make your task worse.

[sageguidance]

A simple "no" would suffice.

[guestservices]

[i'm sorry to alphi who doesn't deserve this]

Focus on yourself and your hostage, first and foremost.

[sageguidance]

[ bully him more ]

I realize this, yes.
But very well - I shall leave you to your business.

[guestservices]

You do that.

Oh, and try not to tell people you're hitting on them for a task until you're actually done with the entire task.

[sageguidance]

I thought as much. I had similar stipulations back at Wiwaldi, after all.

[guestservices]

Good, you know what you're doing. Then, that should be all.

[sageguidance]

Indeed. Again, you have my thanks, and good day to you.

[guestservices]

[ANAIS JUST TO RUN BACK IN HERE to check because it occurred to the mod that it might be ambiguous: dispel effect is specifically meant as protection for curse-type effects, not negating any power, period—e.g. you could use it to protect the target from an ability like pants on fire, but if you used it on someone using sting like a bee, it wouldn't negate that power.

if that would've affected alphinaud's decision, let us know!]

[sageguidance]

[ ooh yes i did misunderstand but tbh it's ok, i'm not fussed enough about it to change it so we can still go thru with it! ]
