You dig through your inventory for junk to give to the MAGICAL GIRL. There's a lot of options, too many options really, when it comes to what you can give her. You decide to be somewhat reasonable: Get rid of what you don't need.
You haphazardly toss some coins and old pieces of armor (which your current party can't use and your future party doesn't really need) onto the table.
>-GOLD DOUBLOONS, BALLISTIC WEAVE, -RIOT SHIELDS, and last IMPROVED FURLINED UNIFORM.
They're gone the second you blink.
"Waow Woaw Waow!!!" The magical girl claps like a seal at the offerings you gave her. Only the Lord knows where the fuck she sent them to. "Such a generous offering! Yet I'm not quite sure if it's enough. I do not wish to be greedy but I have been taught this brand new thing! called 'knowing your worth'!"
"The man who hired me said 'You gotta know your worth' and I didn't quite know what he meant but it's apparently about money and-" And she's blabbering to herself now.
Kiara clearly wanted to quip at that but she holds herself back. "So, uh, anyone know how to get her attention? We didn't really interact with her much last mission."
"Granted," You add on. "We had more pressing matters."
[OPEN MINDED + BLOSSOMING HEART] "Aren't Clover and Casey her 'type'? They stink of her influence." "While I'm no anomaly expert, I know just enough to know they react better with certain people. Out of the seven of us..."
<span class="mu-s">"I rather not interfere with this."</span> Lapis shudders for the briefest of moments. Oh, right, you're lucky DGR hasn't noticed Lapis is a spook yet. She's busy hiding behind Kiara.
Hm. They're not wrong. Casey and Clover mull it over for a moment. A MOONSTONE FRAGMENT in your inventory shatters unprompted. Its fumes slowly trail after Clover.
>-1 MOONSTONE FRAGMENT. 3 LEFT
Clover steps up to the conference table and leans against it with a confident smirk, "There is knowing yer worth. Every human being and anomaly has their worth. But for a proper hero, the reward ain't the point."
"part of me wants to disagree but," Casey lazily climbs up onto the old conference table. "i understand what he meant by that. helping us, helping those who are hunting the same villains as you, we're both in the same market of JUSTICE."
"it is greedy to solely focus on the reward. helping the world, to provide a proper service to it, isn't that what you should focus on?"
DELICIOUS GIRL R freezes up as if what they're saying is making her reconsider something, "But...all of the jobs I could do here, they require a reward. Aren't you also doing this for a reward?"
[SEEKER OF THE CITY] Spending decades underground only to be thrown into the gig economy. What a horrid fate.
"yes and no. while yes, all of us are being paid for our time,"
"And our boss is being paid a lot to do this,"
"the two of us, at least, are helping the people here out of human kindness."
"Justice shouldn't be held back by what people are able to pay. Or else only the rich have justice."
