"Will I also forget my current acting skills as they are?"

"No."

"But I presume the instinctive knowledge that props it up will be gone, alright. This looks tempting. Is there anything else you can tell me about this card?"

"Yes."

Sigh. "What else can you tell me about this card?"

"I am not required to answer such a broad question: such questions tread into the category of 'telling you what to ask.'"

"Of course. Let's see, you said something about my choice affecting my status and strength in the new world. What did you mean by that?"

"The cards determine your social class in the new world: for example, if you choose the Hanged Man, your family in the new world will be wealthy and powerful. As for strength, each card grants a different kind of power in the new world, wether that be precision, youth, magical competence, etcetera."

"Wait, family?"

"Yes?"

"...how exactly am I going to arrive to Shadopolis?"

"You will have been born there."

"Oh. That—okay. How does that work? Will I appear as a newborn with my memories or?"

"No, you will still be the same age as you are now. Only you will know that you came from somewhere else: as far as the rest of the world is concerned, you have always lived there."

"...will I have the memories of the alternate life I supposedly lived there?"

"No."

"Is there a way to get them? And if there is, what is it?"

"No."

"Right. So what status do I get from that card? What's my family like?"

"You will be from an upper-class family who are rich and powerful."

"Can you elaborate? How powerful and rich, where do the riches come from? Hmm I'm gonna need to ask about what society's like, too..."

"They are all very powerful and wealthy, but the source of wealth is not the same in all cases. They might be leaders of a criminal empire, or well-respected in the community."

"...is that chosen at random?"

"No."

"How is it chosen, then?"
