Daniel finds Mark sitting on a stone pedestal that had a statue from 1970. Mark looks up to see Daniel wearing new clothes and slightly fazed by the sudden appearance change.

"Woah dude, are you Daniel? You look so different a few days ago"
"Thanks, I did some work for Nicole's favor, it was brutal, I had no sleep for 2 days straight. You have no idea what I've been through to get her favor over with"
"Well, I can see that, since your finished, I want you to do mine for helping you in finding some of your abilities"
"Oh dear, this better be good"
"Heh, it kinda is, you just need to get some skin-"
"Oh really? What kind of skin?"
"Eh, it's more like ghoulish flesh that you need to help me get, and the ghouls I'm after are a bunch of bikers pretending to be humans. They pick on the weak, insult the lame, and rob them"
"Hmm, well, I'm in. I don't mind helping you with your favor, seems easier than doing Nicole's Jobs without sleep"

Mark jumps off the pedestal and points to the direction of the biker-disguised ghouls. Mark looks ready to explode inside, but he's keeping calm to focus.

"Okay, you ready for a fight and some cannibalizing?"
"As ready as I'll ever be"

(5 minutes later)

They were exhausted from their attack on them, they were covered in scars, wounds and blood. They managed to kill them, and somehow cleaned up the mess that anyone didn't even notice. They sat under a tree near the treehouse.

"Oh man, that was painful, at least we stopped them from being the bad guys, and ate them as their punishment"
"Yea, and it looks like we're not gonna be fighting for some time, my wounds are so big"

Mark sees Daniel's skin healing itself in less than 15 seconds, and what's left is the blood on Daniel.

"Aw what, no fair, I want instant regeneration"
"Well, I guess your not gonna be fighting for awhile, as for me, I'm gonna do my own thing now that I did both your favors"
"Oh really? What are you gonna do now?
"I'll tell you some other time, see you later, Mark"

Daniel runs off to do what he always does, being a thief.
