Guess what happened with James's phone? No, really. Guess.

"Uuuuuuugh, just say it out loud. You have no idea how exasperating it is to wait for you to tyyyypppppe ヽ(　￣д￣)ノ"

"On your first question, no. For varying reward quests, I grade you based on your abilities and how you apply them. If you have a 9999 in Planning but you end up making a plan that someone with 500 could do, then you'll be lucky to get one die."

"For the second, you uh, you need a reality check, pal. 70 Creativity? Congrats, you're like, three times more creative than the average twat. Well, not even because stats aren't linear like that. Besides, no matter how high your stats get, you'll still be conceptually human. You can't understand things that don't function in the conceptual universe your mind's posited in; boosting stats can't change that. If you plan on becoming something beyond humanity, then do quests and get as many dice as you can, 'cause you'll sure as hell need them."

"Hm? Find me? Kill me? You're asking what happens if you manage to do that?"

Almost immediately after Mark had hung up the phone, a small, not blinding but still present, flash of light momentarily occupied a patch of air in front of him. When it faded, four blue dice fell from that space, clattering against the ground. It seemed that they materialized from the light, or something of that nature.

"As expected of the current top candidate! Well, to be fair, I might have made those quests a bit too easy, but your specs are pretty up there in terms of how the dice like you, so it's whatever. That's how the quests work, after all."

"They're both cleared, but I hope you don't just leave it be like that! Following up is important."

"Anyway, your quest log is updated. Enjoy the new gifts~!"
