In Love's name and for Love's sake, I assert that I will employ the Art which is its gift in Love's service alone, rejecting all other usages.
I will spread joy and ease pain. I will fight to preserve what loves and rejoices well in its own way, and I will change no object or creature unless its joy and love, or that of the system of which it is part, are threatened.
To these ends, in the practice of my Art, I will put aside despair for hope, and hatred for love, when it is right to do so-- Until Universe's end.

"Either vampires already secretly exist, or you have the ability to generate an entire sentient species that eats people."
"...at least it seems to be a... nice... omnipotent being? That wants nice things? What quests do you have."
"Joy seems like a pretty good thing to want?" He pulls up the quest menu.
"I have a quest for kissing someone, to go on a date someone else has organised, find my secret admirer, ask people to treat me more nicely, ask someone for a favour," he's skipping the parents one, for lack of a good way of summarising it, "tell you I'm a wizard, make you a wizard, and give cake to sad people."
"...ordering you to do the exact things a therapist would do... It should tell you to get a therapist."
Quest available: Even The One Doesn't Dare Disobey Wen Qing
Get a therapist. You must feel comfortable talking to the therapist and sharing your innermost feelings with them. (You do not have to tell them about being a wizard.) They must give you genuinely useful advice and not advice which is aimed at a slightly different person than the one you are. You should attend at least ten sessions.
Success: 150 xp; improved coping skills; the One has increased relations with Wen Qing
Failure: Unlock Rage Against The Psychiatric System quest

One day he will stop flinching at the boxes. (Otherwise he is going to have to come up with an excuse for why he is doing that.) "Apparently it agrees with you."
"Well, hit 'accept.' --Wait, if you accept a quest do you have to do something about it immediately, or can you wait and prioritize other things?"
A quest will generally not automatically fail if you deprioritize it for a while. If a quest has a time limit, the time limit is a feature of the world, not the quest, and failing to accept it will not give you more time in which to complete it. No currently active quests have time limits. However, if you accept a quest, you commit to doing it at some point; if you do not ever do it, eventually the quest will fail.
"I could wait and prioritise other things as long as there isn't a time limit, but the time limit isn't a feature of the quest as much as-- if I had a 'Make John Doe happy' quest, and he's in town for a week, that would be time limited. If I don't do it for long enough, it will count as failed."
"I think it should have a to do list. So that you can keep track of all the things you're supposed to do and don't have to rely on scrolling through the absurd number of quests it gives you. --I suppose sometimes it doesn't want to tell you what the next action is but it's omniscient, it can track what your plans are at least."
You are now under a status effect! Your sister's actions have put you under the status effect 'Your Sister Fears Neither God Nor Man.'
Manual // Status Effect // Your Sister Fears Neither God Nor Man
When Wen Qing makes a feature request for the manual, the manual will at least seriously consider it. If she chooses to argue with the universe itself, it may also have... interesting... effects. If Wen Qing successfully causes the world to become more magical via reasoned argument, it will increase WIZ.

"I-it's listening! Apparently you could argue with the universe, but it doesn't recommend it? Though you can make it more magical."
"I just looked at the quests in the 'Others' category so far. It seems a bit early to try and do things in the 'World' category, and I don't want to try 'Ordeal' until I have a better idea what it is.' And picking 'self' would be selfish. 'And I decided to look at the 'self' category later."
"Well, you can at least see what they are, that doesn't commit you to anything. And then you can agree to the quests you're sure you want to do and start work on them."
