You have 16 Days Until Your Place of Business is Shut Down

> Let's accept the milk chocolate request, buy three milk and three colosal apples from the Grocers.

> We should also use wood chips as fuel so we can make healing paste for ourselves.

> Slaying the alpha wolf might have more positive ramifications, now that I think about it. If we can defeat it, we'll be hailed as heroes and might be able to recruit a wider range of people who want to work with us. And if we can make it there in one day, Miranda's fee will only be 500 Cole, which we can afford to pay.

> But for now, buy the things. Then maybe relax and recover. It's been a difficult day, what with all the combat recently.

You take just Hazel's request for now; even though they get taken all the time you get the feeling people aren't going to be as eager to jump at that alpha wolf quest as the others, so you leave it be.

On the way back, you stop by the grocery store to get some milk and apples to hopefully use for the chocolates. It occurs to you that of course she would make a request that required you to buy at least some ingredients from her store, but you need the experience making stuff anyway. (-210 Cole, + 3 Colseit Apple, +3 Milk)

You notice Dave across the way while you're on your way back home. He's dragging his feet like he's exhausted and on closer inspection he seems pretty sweaty too. Maybe his dad was having him do some work or something? You leave him alone for now, but if you want to ask him about it later you can.

Once you're at home, you put your purchases away and take the rest of the day off, sitting around and doing some reading. You feel a little better the next morning.

Spoiler

• Zero Motivation (passive): Eh. Miranda has less energy states than normal (Exhausted, Okay, Fine). It costs energy to perform regular move and attack actions in battle. Active skills require a large percentage of her maximum energy.
  
• Chill (passive): Whatever, it's fine. Miranda regains a small amount of energy anytime she isn't doing anything, regardless of if it's out of town or even in the middle of a battle.
  
• Spin Slash: Gotta respect the classics. Slashes everything in the 8 tiles surrounding Miranda for physical damage.
  
• Lazy Combo: Way too much effort. Performs six normal attacks in a row (which can have distinct targets), and then lacks the motivation to do anything at all for the next two turns (Chill is disabled during these turns).
  
• Slack Off (3/3): Miranda's favorite activity. Doesn't accomplish anything immediate, but restores a moderate amount of energy instead of spending it. Has a 2-turn cooldown and only works 3 times per battle.

Fee: 500 Cole

SpoilerSarah & Dave:
Ether Hatchet (Hatchet Throw + Ether Light): Do the thing! Targets any enemy on a straight line from Dave which he could hit with Hatchet Throw. Deals physical damage to the target and then magical damage to anything in the 3x3 square centered on the target.
