She nods against his shoulder. They stand like that for a while. And then she dries her tears and sits back down.

Tom rests a hand on her shoulder.

She checks both options.

That brought up a lot of feelings. I don't really need these but I'm glad they exist and I might decide to take them if I have enough points. My first parents weren't good people and I chose a new name when I ran away.

That makes sense! I'm glad you found a better life for yourself.

Thank you. I'm really happy I found my brother and my new parents are also nice people if a little distant.

What does it mean for a voice to be supernaturally beautiful? Is that just hyperbole or does it mean my voice does something to people?

It means that you can make beautiful sounds with your voice that voices can't ordinarily make, and if you encounter music- or voice-related magic you have a big advantage at it.

Does this just give me more options or does it also mean whatever I say or sing sounds different in some way?

If being able to speak and sing the same way you do now is important to you, Angelic Tones won't take it away. If you would rather usually sound different from the way you're used to, Angelic Tones can do that.

I think I'm seeing a pattern here. Are there also powers where I can't stay mostly the same if I want to? And if so is there an easy way to tell which powers those are?

Well, for example, Well Endowed defines a specific type of figure, so if you didn't have that figure before, it would change. But then Hollow Leg lets you change it back. I think most of the appearance powers have some allowance for leaving things as they are, but you can ask me about any where you're not sure.

She checks Angelic tones. 

Alright thank you.

Is there a benefit to Emerald Orbs other than aesthetics?

That depends on whether you think it would be really cool if your eyes could see in the dark.

"Hmm, that seems kinda niche and I'm not sure I could muster the desire to have my eyes look different just so I could see better."

"You could ask whether your eyes have to look different but honestly it seems like you're checking everything it might be good to just leave this out if you don't see much benefit in it."

"I've been checking everything I think I might want but yeah that's been a lot and I don't really think night vision is that important to me."

She leaves Emerald Orbs unchecked and looks further.

I think I'll skip that one then.

What does it mean for a hairstyle to be physically impossible. Logistically impossible just sounds like something that actually I'm not sure what that would mean either. Could you explain?

Normally, in worlds that run on physics, hairstyles have to be made out of hair which is made out of the things that hair is made out of, and be possible for a person to construct using their hair and other objects made out of real substances, and behave in ways that result from the things they're made out of and the shapes they're arranged in according to the laws of physics, and appear to be consistently in the same places at the same times according to different observers. Perfect Hair removes those constraints.

"Do you understand that because if anything I'm now more confused."

"Not really. I guess we could go line by line?"

"Alright." She reads through it again more slowly this time. "I think what she's saying is that it would let me have hair that defies gravity or blows in the wind when there isn't wind or looks perfect from every angle even if that would mean it looks different for different people."

"I still think I want to ask for more detail though."

Wow, that took me a while to process and I still don't think I fully understand. I think the first example that's jumping out at me would be like if I was naked my hair would let the people I wanted to see my vulva see it and make sure the people I didn't want to see it couldn't. Could I do that?

The somewhat more out there idea I had is that my hair could literally look like normal clothes so I could appear naked to some people but fully clothed to others. Would that work?

Are those examples near the limits of what it can do or am I thinking too small still?

The first example is very easy for Perfect Hair; the second example would probably need Perfect Hair plus another power, but if you felt strongly enough about it Perfect Hair might be able to manage something.

Okay that's helpful, is the other power I would need already in the list or would I need a custom one? Also could you try to help me understand why the first one works but not the second? Is it about the hair not looking like hair or being too much unlike what hair is like?

You could probably get somewhere with Dressing Room but if you wanted your clothes to definitely be the same thing as your hair and definitely be visible to only some observers then I think I'd have to build you a custom power for it.

A set of clothes isn't a hairstyle. A hairstyle that looks a lot like a set of clothes is possible with Perfect Hair, but not a hairstyle that is a set of non-hair clothes, so observers who saw clothes-like hair would be able to tell it wasn't really clothes if they tried.

That makes sense, I don't really care about whether my clothes are also my hair but the idea of some people seeing me without clothes while other people see me as wearing them might be something I want. I think it depends on whether there's other powers that address the underlying desires better.

I have a lot of feelings around modesty and nudity that mostly amount to wishing that nudity wasn't so closely associated with sex and also relatedly that sex wasn't seen as something shameful that people have to hide or be embarrassed about.

Thank you for the explanation regarding why the second option idea doesn't work. That makes a lot of sense. I'll definitely have to come back to this but it seems like a really cool power.

She puts a check on Perfect Hair.

I'll think about what a power for appearing clothed to some people and naked to others might look like. I'm glad I can help!

Thank you.

She takes some time to read and think about the next power. "So... this is just Ant Man's power without super-strength."
