It's been a long night, and it never officially ended. Rather than making it back to her bed, Daphne simply fell asleep on her books as she was studying for finals. If circumstances were different--if it was in fact going to matter anymore what happened to any of the things she currently owned--it would be lucky she wasn't inclined to drooling in her sleep.
Why would anyone choose anything but the latter? Except--"You said I'm going to have a new family and an entirely new life--how old do I start out in this place?"
Oh, good. "Are there any downsides to aging at one-sixth normal speed?"
"A body which ages slower will be more divorced from the rest of humanity, negatively impacting your social presence, and at the one-sixth rate you will additionally lose some of the speed with which you learn new skills."
"But this is just usual 'everyone is aging past me' kind of thing, not some kind of aura of unnaturalness, right?"
"Somewhere between. It would be most accurate to say that not all of your natural charisma or learning skill will transfer to the new body."
"...But this doesn't hold for if I choose the normal-aging body, right?"
Oh, right. "Half was the slowest one, right? Does that one have serious downsides?"
"Okay, lemme rephrase that. Does it have one-third the downside that one-sixth has?"
"Does the one-fourth aging rate have that, or come to think of it other, downsides? Does the one-half aging rate have downsides you didn't decide to classify as serious?"
Tch. Getting information out of these things is like pulling teeth. "What are the non-serious downsides of the one-half aging rate?"
"Are there any downsides of the Fool card that can be specifically linked to aging at half-speed?"
Okay, she'll have to think about that. And meanwhile she'll have to ask more questions so they don't mark her as stalling. "What can I choose about my body type?"
