It's still available. But, just to be on the safe side - the task I give you, you've got seven days to do it before it expires, but the sooner the better. If a bunch of people asked for it and I ran out this week, you could either get put on a waitlist to get it next week, or you could pick a different available power from a different member of hotel staff.
[they hum.]
So... since you're committed... [...] Convince four people that you've been cursed. You can decide what sort of "curse" it is, but you have to convince them. They can't figure out that you're doing it to try and earn a power, or it won't count. And it can't be anyone that you went worldhopping with last time.
Once you've done that, let me know [aka submit an audience request with the links to the threads] and the power's all yours.
I'll do my best. Seven days to convince four people that I've been cursed...
[ he taps his cheek. ]
Quick question... Can I rope someone else in to help me? Someone who doesn't count towards the four people I need to convince? I assure you, the plan is all my own, they'd just be... a prop.
Hmm... I think that'd depend on what curse you'd pretend to have. Why don't you run your plan by me, and I'll let you know if we could count it if you had help?
[anyway, they eventually manage to quell their laughter into giggles.]
Oh, he's going to kill me for letting you do this, but... sure. In that case, it would be fine to let him know, as long as you're still the one doing the biggest share of the convincing. You could also pretend it was just a one-way infatuation curse, if you wanted...
Oh don't worry, I plan on taking the brunt of the entire curse. But if Hua Cheng agrees to play along, then I'll be doubly convincing in case anyone decides to check and see if I'm simply playing at doing my task. I want every insurance I can get... fairly of course.
And don't worry. Send him my way if he blusters up to your doorstep... but I think he'll play along with me.
That sounds fair enough, the way you've described it.
So! Let me know once you've got four people convinced, and the power's all yours. We'll have to meet in person again so I can give it to you. [their voice sounds like they're smiling.] You don't mind, right?
...that's nice to hear. As staff, though, we're not supposed to call you first - we have to wait for you to call on us, if we want to spend time with you. You can call me any time we're all available, though. I'd really like that.
Noted. I'll make that I visit as often as I can then...
[ he grins ]
And now I can show you at least one place we've been to. There's quite a lot to do and see here, after all. The bazaar has so many things, and you can trade a bit of work for food...
Especially since we can only enjoy it here, right? Best take advantage of it now while you're out with me.
[ he holds out his hand again. ] Walk with me, my dear?
[ he'll lead the way, polaris following close behind. as the description indicates, if it can be sold in the bazaar, then it's there. he seems to be looking for something in particular, brow furrowed as his tail curls around vulpecula to make sure they don't get lost of course.
finally, his ears wiggle in excitement. ]
Here. These.
[ and he will bring them over towards one of the stands, a small hovering cart full of baked goods in the shape of allkindsof bread. ]
It takes talent to make things so cute I both do and don't want to eat them. Don't you think?
At one point, as one of those... weekly tasks, we needed to dress him up like a little king, can you believe it?
[ he looks fondly at the bread and picks up one of the frog-shaped ones. idk these are shadow people? do they care if we eat their food if they're shadows????? probably not????????? ]
[they look around the busy bazaar, picking up a piece of bread. they'll work up the nerve to bite into the cute little thing later.]
Lively places like this are pretty fun, don't you think? ...well, the shadow people part is pretty freaky, but I can almost imagine actual people there if I don't look at them too closely.
It's true, I've walked the market a bit and it really does feel like I'm back again. The food smells the same, the hookah bar, even the courtyard is like I remembered it.
[ before our house got burnt down. ]
To tell you the truth, I'm glad they picked somewhere warm. I can only imagine if we woke up with Nerak right outside our doors.
[ bread in hand, he'll nod to them to continue down the market's designated path. along the way, there's a clear change, something frosty starting to crawl up kaeya's skin, from fingertips to elbow, his hair turning from dark to faintly white at the edges, like newly-fallen frost. ]
I'd say of all of our options, this is... not the worst.
I read about it in the files! But, brrr - I'm glad we're not there, too. This uniform is pretty warm, but I don't know if it's warm enough for that!
[they'll head on down the path with him! ...and glance at the way the frost starts to settle itself over his skin. hm. guess that's what happens when you've got your tits out.]

Perfect. I just wanted to know how long they might be susceptible to it for if for some reason it doesn't end up triggering.
[ he pauses and then gives a nod. ]
Then, if it's available, that's the one I'd like to pick.
