Does anyone else have a needlessly cruel personal goal they need to accomplish this time around? Because I'm kind of stuck with something like that right now.

I'm supposed to give a teammate a black eye. I've been putting this off for a while since I wasn't sure if I wanted to go through with it but I figured I would ask at least.

Would anyone be willing to volunteer for that? [she finds herself making a face just stating that fact because she hates that she even has to ask this] I can help to ensure it heals over properly when it's all said and done but I know it's a lot to ask. I'd definitely owe you one or I can offer to help you with your goal in return.

[ooc; she is not expecting anyone to jump at the chance to volunteer for this but hey feel free to troll and arbitrarily suggest someone who should be the recipient of this or whatever you like]

You can give me a black eye if you let me cause a shitshow and get you into trouble.

I’ll get you out of it when I can, promise, just gotta get this goal out of the way too.

[romancekiller]

Really? [it's pretty obvious from her initial response that she wasn't expecting anyone to volunteer despite the fact she was the one who asked]

Alright, I can agree to that. What do you have in mind for it?

You can punch me. I know these goals suck sometimes.

[romancekiller]

[it's an understatement to say she's surprised that yet another person is volunteering for this and it doesn't escape her notice either that this response was private as well] Seriously? Just like that you're agreeing to let me punch you?

You're not wrong though about these goals, they definitely suck. I think I've only had a couple that weren't terrible.

[asymbiotic]

Wouldn't you rather punch a volunteer than someone who didn't volunteer?

[romancekiller]

Yeah, you're right. I would prefer that it was someone who did volunteer.

I guess I'm a bit surprised that people are volunteering at all.

[asymbiotic]

I've had to hurt people for my personal goal. It sucks. So if I can make it easier for someone, I'm going to try. We're all kind of in the same boat here, so it just makes sense to try and help out where we can.

[romancekiller]

Alright, yeah. I can understand that. [because it's honestly not that different from how she would respond if their roles were reversed here]

Is your goal something I can help with in return?

[rootlessly]

I'll help. What do you need to do?

[romancekiller]

You will? I wasn't expecting this many offers from people to help for a request to give someone a black eye. [are people into being punched? because honestly that is pretty concerning in itself]

[rootlessly]

We're all here for the same reasons, aren't we? It only makes sense to help each other out.

[romancekiller]

Yeah, sure but I'm not sure many people share that line of thinking. [it was partially the reason she included her own offer to help or owe a favour because she doubts that people who do this without expecting something from her in return. she's had a few people volunteer though so she's still on the fence if she feels about it but concern seems to be winning for the most part]

I thought I've have to consider this a failure for the mission when initially asking about it.
