"What do you mean by give up my body and future."

"You will have a new body in the new world - a male body. Everyone will know that you once had a female body. Love will follow you, no matter whether you wish it to or not. Your future will forever be dominated by an uncommon destiny."

Well compared to the other options that's not so bad.

"What about the, other one, the Hanged Man?"

"You will have eternal youth."

"...At the cost of?"

"That is the cost."

"How is that a cost?"

The shadow shrugs. "Some people prefer to grow old."

"But then you die. Is that all these cards do, is what you've told me?"

"They have other effects, but they are relatively minor."

"What are their relatively minor effects?"

"What sort of family you will have in the new world. Socioeconomic status. The type of supernatural power you will have access to. And so on in that vein."

"Those aren't minor, you florist's month-old discards." Maybe she shouldn't have provoked the magic thing with the power to fuck with her life so utterly oh well "What--" she wasn't going to ask about the Hermit or the Chariot those could die in a fire "--supernatural powers does the Hanged Man grant?"

"The ability to change your appearance. The ability to fly. The ability to speak with the dead. All of these are powers granted by the Hanged Man."

"What aren't you telling me about this card?"

"Quite a bit."

"...Out of the things you're not telling me about this card, which one do you think is most likely to make me not pick it?"

The shadow shrugs.

"Out of the things you're not telling me about this card, which ones have the most people who learned about them reacted negatively to in the past?"

The shadow shrugs again.

Augh. "What are the supernatural abilities of the Fool card?"

"Small wishes. Ancient artifacts. New skills."

"What kind of wishes? What kind of artifacts? What kind of skills?"

"Wishes like 'to be able to fly for the next hour.' Artifacts such as a set of goggles that would let you see through objects. Skills such as mastery of painting and drawing."

That's pretty great, but it doesn't necessarily stack up all that well against eternal youth. "How does the Hanged Man card affect what kind of family I would have?"
