week 4, tuesday
[Akane has been spending some time in the lobby, lying on the couch to keep her sprained ankle elevated and waiting for a moment when none of the other guests happen to be around. Once the moment arrives, she gets up and approaches Craftly at the front desk.]
Do you have a moment? I'd like to ask you about a few things.

[He was organizing some files, but he puts them down for the time being. He'll then gesture down the hallway, towards where the kitchen is located.]
Let us take this to another location, one where there's no danger of curious ears. I assume you don't intend to ask me about my day, after all.

[She gives him a bright smile as they head down the hallway, slowly because she's still limping a tiny bit.]

[With. That limp and all. If Akane needs crutches or a leg brace she should... probably request it from one of the faceless men? Love yourself.
Either way, assuming it's earlier than 11:00 PM — he leads her to the lounge. The bartender locks the door behind them, before moving back to the bar to serve Carftly's usual. It's... a margarita. Akane is free to ask for her own drink, if she's in the mood.]
Here we are. You have my undivided attention.

[She'll be fine she just needs a little rest!!
Anyway, Akane just gets a glass of water. She's sticking to her decision to never drink again, thank you very much.]
Alright, so... I'm familiar with the rules of the game, of course. They're clear enough. However, I was wondering about incentives.

[That is a very tempting prize.]
So I could even ask for, say, the revival of someone who has died?

[She covers her mouth, suddenly speechless. This is so far beyond what she'd expected.]

Then I take it you've decided to partake.

I have the chance to save six billion people, Craftly. Regardless of the price, I can't refuse to take it.
no subject
[Just. Finishes his own drink.]
Unfortunately, we're far too overbooked for this week. Perhaps the next week, Akane, should your desire to save six billion lives be as strong as it is today... You will pay my employer's price.
no subject
[She offers him a tight, joyless smile and stands up.]
Thank you answering my questions. Let's talk again some other time.
