[X] Laugh, ok seriously, that was hilarious. Sorry I was kinda being a dick there but you can be a bit scary. So seriously now, how much is it?

Lets start metagaming a little, Zenny seems to want us to get this newfangled power thingie up and running.

Is she for real? An infant soul for a check-up? I'm sorry, did she offer to prolong our life or give us more power in there somewhere?
Wow, I'm honestly impressed with her business sense. I know people say you go from the high price and let them bid you down, but hot damn.

This is why I said I think she is trolling us, which makes sense considering we refused to come in until we negotiated a price, like we are afraid of her taking our firstborn or something. she is clearing trolling and we should

Note that we can gain skills like Crazy. It's literally why the Gamer power is so broken since we can do it far to fast for most people to really compare
 
I really think we should ask her for clarification on the Bound Favor thing. It might be tolerable. I'm imagining it's aout us having to do one specific thing for her repeatedly maybe? Like, "Deliver this medicine to this adress monthly until I either absolve you of this task or you die."
 
I still can't believe everyone here thinks she is serious and not fucking with the silly gangbanger who is obviously so scared of her that he won't even walk through her door, as punishment for waking her up

I get that I came at a bad time, and you're mad- not that I mean it in the crazy sense- shit."
-[x]Just agree to be her errand boy for today or something... heck, maybe she need some weed to be less terrifying? Some herbal tea? You dunno, but just make sure she doesn't hurt you, pretty please?

Because trolling oneself is the best kind of troll.

This tally was done on mobile, so apologies for the kinda crappy format.

^ Won, and Zenny can take the weighted extras as she wishes.

[X] Work that silver tongue.
-[X] Calm down, this is nothing compared to the time you went on a trip and briefly wound up in charge of an assault against a villain base by the secret police. Or whoever those guys were, you weren't inclined to ask.
-[X] Ask her for her credentials. She looks trustworthy (avoid flinching when telling the obvious lie), but you're worried about side-effects and the like. Bullshit like never before and get to the bottom of this!
-[X] If she seems like the real deal, offer to (temporarily) become her apprentice in exchange for the check-up, as long as the information doesn't get spread around. You get to learn something new, she gets a gopher, everyone wins! You'll even throw in 35 bucks, because you're such a magnanimous soul.

Guys, there has been not one, but two tallies made.

And that is ignoring the fact that Zenny closed the vote over a week ago.

Why are you still voting?

    .1.9.​

    Gritting your teeth, you prepare to aim for the best price you can get. "Fine, thirty-five bucks. But that's as far as I'm going!"

    She stares at you.

    You stare back.

    Huh. Thanks, weird pop-up. You're an inspiration.

    "You seriously think thirty-five bucks is equal to anything I've just listed?" The witch-doctor's voice is oddly toneless, if blunt.

    "Uh. Yeah?"

    She sighs. "Fuck it. Get your ass in, pussy, not like I've got any other clients right now." Stepping aside, she motions you in sharply, still looking bored; after a moment in which your apparent 'danger sense' thing fails to crop up, you slip inside (absolutely not reluctantly, no sir!), taking a moment to view the (crappy) interior as she shuts and locks the door behind you.

    "Into the consultation room," witch-doctor lady barks, jabbing a finger at a doorway. You obey, stepping into - "It's my lounge, but consultation room sounds better, so whatever." Following behind, she barges past and half-throws herself into one of the two threadbare armchairs. Some reality show about rich, obnoxious wives is playing, muted, on a big-screen TV. "Sit down and let's get started already! You're already getting a discount, don't take up more of my time."

    This is... not quite what you were expecting from a witch-doctor. The vague smell of cat and mildew, you can sort of accept, and the shriveled head on the mantelpiece makes sense, but the large DVD collection (are those Disney movies?) seem kiiiind of out of place.

    But hey, what do you know? If you'd gone to witch-doctor college, maybe you'd be a weirdo too?

    Taking a careful, creaking seat on the other chair, you
