I think he stands a better chance fighting with his hands than he does with his powers anyway. [Just saying.] If he's mobile again, that helps, too.

I can assign you a task to help with that part of it. Will you take it?

[specialdog]

If you say so. I feel like these powers are a huge leg-up, but...

[ Well, if a more literal 'leg up' is what she can get, she'll take it. (get it, get it??) ]

I'll take it.

[cyclists]

Alright. To help him, find four people, one from each alignment, that can confirm they value your friendship.

[specialdog]

[ Hm. Bad. ]

Hey, are you rigging this against me? People don't actually like me, here. That's a steep price.

[cyclists]

There has to be people that like you, Akane. And it has to be hard because healing magic isn't exactly that easy either.

[specialdog]

A favor like this is totally unfair. There's nothing I can do to convince people to value me if they don't. No one is going to change their minds. You think I haven't been trying to make friends since I got here?

I'm not in control of how other people feel. Can't you give me some kind of favor that I can actually work towards?

[cyclists]

I don't know. I don't know if you've been trying to make friends or just get people to like you. That's two different things. [...] You can at least try. Saying no immediately isn't going to help.

[specialdog]

[ Akane is very offended at the idea that making friends and being liked are two different things, wtf. This is oppression. ]

Fine. Fine, whatever.

[cyclists]

Just try it. If it doesn't work somehow, come back and see me with an update of your progress and we'll figure something out. But you have to at least put in some effort.

Ooookaaaaaay.
