Oh. I thought it would be more like. Bob needs a shapeshifter, so Bob finds me or texts me or something? We could make it a note on the tablets- if you have special needs, call Quentin?
And then I'd find Sally, or call her and ask her hey, Bob really needs someone who can shapeshift because he lost his keys in the sink, he's going cave diving and there's a small crevice, he's raising a barn and he needs something large to put the roof on it. And then Sally could tell me yes or no. Like, no, I hate water. Or, Bob's just being a lazy asshole, he can take his own sink apart. Ir, sure, I'd love to help because of reasons.
And also, I know what you're asking. What if someone just wants to use powered people for something horrible? What if Bob really doesn't want to raise a barn, but he wants someone large to hammer his point home with Ernie. But I don't think people think like that? Not that people aren't assholes, like, a surprisingly amount of the time? But. I'd think Bob wouldn't ask for a shapeshifter. He'd ask for someone strong, or someone who could make ice, or lightning, or direct water. And I think there'd be more than one person who could help. In their own way.
It's really not up to me how people want to help each other? Unless it's something that would be directly dangerous to the town. Like, Bob wants someone who can control fire, when I ask him why, he gets cagey or says something stupid like I just want something to read by. In that case, I don't think I'd ask anyone to help Bob.
I would never tell anyone about anyone else's powers. I'm not someone who'd out anyone like that.
If I agree that Bob should really get help with his shapeshiting problem and Sally says no, because she hates playing fetch just because Bob misses his dog back home? I'd see if I could find another way to help Bob, but Sally has every right to say no. For any reason. Always.
