[guestservices]

... I see. I offer you my congratulations, then.

[evocationary]

Thanks! I'm the best at destroying abominations. [c:] How are you?

[guestservices]

Well, I didn't have to deal with the... furbies, so I guess I'm doing pretty good.

[evocationary]

That feels like a pretty decent day, for sure.

I actually had a question for you, if you don't mind.

[guestservices]

I can't promise an answer, but go ahead.

[evocationary]

Well, I'd hope you could give me one for this, haha. I want to know the specifics of your sacrifice power, and if you've got any left.

[guestservices]

Ah, that's simple enough, yes.

You can transfer any degree of your own injuries to a target, where they'll remain. It may not include certain injuries of a severe nature, though. [oocly for reference that category is, like, limb loss or squicky stuff that might be a hard no for an unsuspecting target.] Alternatively, you can transfer any degree of someone else's injuries to yourself, though they will return to the original person after 24 hours.

As with all powers, it's one use only. And, like most, it cannot be used in trial.

Are you interested?

[evocationary]

I think I might be. Yeah.

[guestservices]

Do you know how the exchange works? You haven't done this before, right?

[evocationary]

I haven't, no, so I'm kind of clueless. How does it work?

[guestservices]

Well, before we officially proceed, you have to explain to me why you want this power specifically.

Then, you're agreeing to take on a task. You can't take it back once I've given it, though there are no consequences for failing to complete it or letting it expire. But once you have the task, you must complete it within seven days and report back to me to receive the power.

[i.e. throw in an audience with links to the relevant threads]

You can't ask for room service from anyone else during that time, or for the rest of the week even if you do complete it.

[no trying to speedrun multiple room service tasks in one week, basically.]

[evocationary]

Oh. Um. Well, I want it to cover up a murder I might be planning on doing. Does that work?

[guestservices]

[...]

Yes, that suffices. Then, are you officially agreeing to taking on a task?

[evocationary]

... Yeah. [she looks

like she wants to die but sure]

[guestservices]

[...

they reach out to touch lup's arm gently, before pulling back.]

... Your task is be mute for 24 hours. You may use the typewriter during then, but it shouldn't be used entirely as a way of getting around this.

[which is to say, provide us with at least 3 threads of reasonable length from the same ic day + don't have her talking out loud in other threads from the same day, and while she doesn't have to start over if she uses the typewriter, text threads would not count towards the task oocly!]

People shouldn't know it's for a task, so pretend that you've been cursed, if need be. Then, after 24 hours are up, report back to me.

[evocationary]

This is - wow, this is torture. I see.

[she exhales, and then:] Okay. Okay.

[drags in a breath.] Ah, fuck. There's the anxiety. Okay.

[guestservices]

... Again, if you decide that you'd rather not carry out the task, there's no issue with waiting until it expires.

[evocationary]

I know. I know, I just... this is fine, it's okay. I might as well take one anyway, it's been weeks.

[guestservices]

Mm.

If you don't already, note that you can only have two room service powers during your stay, and even if you use one, it'll continue to count towards that maximum.

[evocationary]

Oh - yeah, no I knew that. You told me before.

[waves hand.] I don't really need them a whole lot, I just know I'm squishy enough that it'd be useful if my plan fell through.

[guestservices]

... Okay. Good luck, then. Try not to have any regrets.

[evocationary]

[HAHA GOD. she just - hiccuplaughs, and then laughs for real, scrubbing at her face.]

That's the funniest thing you could've said to me.

[guestservices]

[a headtilt]

Did you want to talk about it?

[evocationary]

[a long pause.]

I don't want to. [she says, plainly.] I don't want to do it. I don't want to hurt someone, and all of their someones. And if I died, it'd hurt so many people. I'd be stupid not to know that.

But it'd be easy, I think. And I feel like it's rotting in me, knowing that I can't bring myself to do this much for the other half of my soul.

To experience inner conflict isn't always inherently a bad thing, at least. It's proof of your heart—and that you're not taking it lightly, regardless of whichever decision you come to.
