I am aware that you're rather private, yes.

[shaft]

So are you.

[guestservices]

I am.

Just as I'm curious as to what prompted all of this.

[shaft]

... It's not entirely out of the goodness of my heart.

[guestservices]

[dryly]

I would've been more surprised if it was.

[shaft]

Have a little faith in me...

[guestservices]

[amused]

I don't think you can make that request after admitting to it.

[shaft]

I'll take you on a real date sometime.

[ not to a jail cell ]

In the meanwhile... I was curious to know how much you know about the gift shop items.

[guestservices]

[thanks claude]

Depends on what you want to know.

[shaft]

The lollipop which will answer one question... What are the chances I could go "how do we revive our fallen friends, save our hostages and shut down the hotel permanently?" and get an actionable answer?

[guestservices]

[they hum]

I can't say for sure—for one, asking for an actionable answer for any question will depend on if such a thing exists—so I'd advise waiting until you have a clearer idea of the full situation and can gauge if that question is plausible.

[shaft]

... Huh. That's not as dismissive as I was expecting.

I figured you'd say something like, "don't meddle with the hotel."

[guestservices]

It's not a bad thing to think creatively.

However, I'd remind you not to bet on there being an answer to your question either.

[shaft]

... Do I get a second chance if there's no answer?

[guestservices]

No. Hence why you should use it with caution.

[shaft]

Alright, warning received...

[guestservices]

Was there anything else?

[or did you torment me for 30 comments for this]

[shaft]

[ TORMENT...? tell me how you really feel... ]

What, you're not enjoying our quality time together?

[guestservices]

[YOU MADE ME WONDER FOR 30 COMMENTS WHAT YOU WERE UP TO

wryly,]

You took me to a prison cell.

[shaft]

[ MAYBE I JUST WANTED TO THREAD WITH MY FRIEND?? ]

Again, not intentional...

... Would it be bad form to use up one of your heals prior to Thursday?

[guestservices]

[do you know who you're threading with spoon]

Well, that's up to you. However, I don't actually have any available at the moment—I'm still waiting on tasks to be completed, before I'm able to heal someone again.

[shaft]

[ oh interesting

wait are you saying one of the mods doesn't consider me a friend ]

So it's not just a weekly refresh?

[guestservices]

[:thonk:

no ilu spoon]

The tasks have to be finished as well, although they automatically expire after seven days.

[shaft]

Right, otherwise people just end up spilling their guts back out.

Where do you get these tasks anyway?

[guestservices]

Well, we come up with them. Though broadly speaking, we're all pulling them from the same pool.
