I realized there are two people I play who would absolutely get scammed by Dr. Facilier, and I'm giving March a wee break from the horrors bc I'm staring down the barrel of upcoming HSR updates, so:
if Jin Ling were to come to Dr. Facilier and ask him for a fortune, like "is it possible for me to split myself from my possessor without hurting either of us", how would that shake out for him? I'm looking to see Jin Ling get cursed or scammed—he's not always the most sensitive person and he's likely going to get way too loud or insult the good doctor by accident. if he gets a monster curse that's fine by me!
EDIT: okay so! the thing about Jin Ling is he has abandonment issues out the ass and he dearly, dearly misses his parents. he hasn't spoken to them in a long time because he's worried about them getting caught up in the supernatural, and that desire plays into his question—he wants to see his family again without the baggage of the supernatural coming along with him. another problem he has though is that he actually likes his ghost, and some tiny part of him doesn't want to be abandoned by someone he's come to see as a good friend. he wants to have his cake and eat it too, essentially—he wants to see his parents again and he doesn't want to lose his friend, desires that conflict with each other but both stem from the want to just Not Be Left Behind Again.
as for limitations...hmm, I'd rather not completely and permanently ruin the kid's life! I'm thinking of something he'd see as a terrible inconvenience at first, but can learn to live with or at least work around, like cat ears or suddenly turning into a bird when under stress, the like. I do have enough points to open a monster slot for JL, if I recall.
