"Depends on what monster. Does not make a sweet puppy into a menace but might wake a toothy something up from the nap it would have otherwise took."

"And...how common are these locations? Are they mostly sought out by people who want to fight monsters anyway or would I be missing out on whole corners of academic life by not visiting?"

"I live in a monstery place when at home! Girlfriend from an old Feywild family. Will not trouble you much if you just go to magical college then live on the moon or some such. Would make it a bit harder questing for your own alchemy ingredience."

"I think I'm going to leave this one as a 'maybe' until I've heard a few more."

"Fair is fair! This one makes you a magic black hole - good defensively if you are getting in duels, but also no buff spells, also-also harder to use magic, more mana and more exhausting."

"That one's a 'no thank you'; if I'm getting in duels I've already failed."

"As you like it! Popular one here, makes you light and floaty. No scubadiving without ballasts in your pockets, easy to knock over, less broomstick carrying because that is so many times your weight, but ignorable unless it is so blustery out."

"How does that interact with daeva strength?"

"Not weaker! Just lighter. Carry around all your sandbags and lead weights no problem. Broomstick is weaker, not arms."

"I think that one will be a yes also, then."

"Ta-da. And - this one makes you eye-catching. Not all bad, if you have no stealths you wish to stealth. Sticks if you turn into something else too."

"Yeah, that seems like the opposite of a problem to me, actually."

"Boop! And this one makes you cuter and makes your true awakened witchful form a kiddo - you can get as old-looking as a mature fourteen but not more than that. Hard to date, people may be condescending about this, but some people do not love being taken seriously or on dates."

"Well, if people don't take me seriously that sounds like a them problem, but I do want to go on dates, and not with the demographic I would attract if I looked fourteen. No thanks."

"Understandable. Not for everyone. This one makes you ugly? Also hard on the love life."

"No."

"Popular one: extra nipple! Appears in some random spot but I will move it for you where you please, no charge."

"I think on this one I'm going to have to diverge from popularity and say another 'no thanks'."

"Suit your own self. Be addicted to a thing? Cannot get too cute, no addicted to jogging. Coffee, gum, porn, all three of them for three times the points, roll your own."

"How brutal are the withdrawal symptoms? Headache, death, somewhere in between?"

"Not too bad, about like addicted to coffee the normal way. Hard to skip it if it is there to be not skipped though."

"Okay, that's doable. And wow, 'coffee, gum, porn'...what a trio of suggestions. It's like you know me! Well—"

She blushes.

"—assuming erotica falls under 'porn', anyway. And as on brand as chewing a piece of bubblegum now and then is," she twirls a strand of hair around her finger, "I don't think I actually want it to be as big a part of my life as caffeine and AO3 dot org. I'll have to think about if I would want to do a third thing—oh! Doing my makeup, maybe? If that's not getting too cute with it."

"Hmmm... think I can squeeze it in so long as it is makeup per se makeup and not the skincare routine. Caffeine erotica and your creams'n'powders, boop boop boop. Next, sensory disability. Legally blind, legally deaf, legally cannot tell if you have a gas leak, legally have no taste, legally never experience the scratch of wool sweater again, again can take three if you so care."

"I think I would prefer to take zero, actually."

"Opposite thing is also on offer! Most annoying supersenses."
