Also, the librarian gets to lecture you about civil liberties while looking somewhat like an angry chicken.)You lost the initial roll by 1, meaning the amazing Husband/Wife Tag Team Of Awesome  get one bonus die to their attempt (via Sway) to, knowing that something is up and this spells the end of a terrible day, convince you that they couldn't possibly be of any help. (0, 0, -, -, and I GoD them to another 0, meaning total of 0.)Your action was perpendicular; over their protestations, you grow grim and threatening. Right now, you're *also* sitting on a 0; if you had Sway you could get right back @ 'em, but this sounds like an untrained sway, thus failing.Perhaps spend pool or GoD or convince someone else to GoD you?Also note, since both sides failed their duel of wits (staring at each other slackjawed, mustering up a new point!), you can change your stated intention now for free.They're not going to; you threatened them, deepening their resolve to not help, but otherwise they're pretty happy with "trying to make you go away forever".You can change stated goal if you like, though. I spent one GoD, I have 5 left </blockquote>
