The audit of 0193-0195 also flagged two of the talk menus' requests (piney_fieldui::talk::TalkReq) that nothing carried out. Both come from the trade (49) and present (50) pages. The town mode's TalkReq match let them fall to _ => {}.

SpcUseItem { spc, code }. AddSpcItem (gcmn 0x00527950) has a member given a book (category 12) read it at once, num times: ccUseItemRequest(spc, spc, code, 0). A book raises one of the record's stats by its row (piney-battle's BOOKS), writing through ccChar +4, which is the save's spcParam[id]. The menu showed " used ." and took the books from the bag, but the stat never rose. A book given in town was lost.

piney_battle::item::book_on_record runs book on the record, and the town does that on the save's record for each request. a_book_on_the_record: book 0 raises physical attack by 10, capped at 999, and leaves the rest alone. The member is not the player, so the game shows no message of the stat.

PresentOther(member). Read ccSpcMessagePresentOtherFellow (0x005a1a70):

• It needs three in the party (getPartyMenberNum).
• It finds the receiver's slot (checkPartyMenberNum).
• For the other slot that is neither 0 nor the receiver's, it calls ccAISysMsgSendP(0x10011, -1, id, id, 0, 30, -1, receiver), where id is that member's own sys-msg id.

piney-battle's AI already answered message 17 with ChatMessagePresentOtherFellow(receiver) outside a fight. Nothing sent it. World::present_other sends it on the town party's bus.
