I think the idea is less that you would be uncomfortable with nudity and more that you would be bored or unsatisfied with it, and would want to find new ways to decorate yourself. There are a lot of ways to decorate yourself, though, and I think some of them are compatible with being naked for most purposes, so if that's your strongest objection maybe you'd do okay with Style of Sisyphus after all!

That's true, it's not really specifically nudity that's important it's... not being ashamed or treating certain body parts as forbidden things only certain people should be allowed to see. I'll have to think about that.

And then the next drawback is a full inversion. Do you have any guidance on how narrow a signature style needs to be?

I'm not sure how to describe that, but if you tell me about a style you're thinking of I can tell you whether I think it's too broad to count.

I think I'm trying to squeeze enough things together that it probably won't work. But there are aspects that I try to keep to. I don't think I ever wear black, white or beige except for underwear. I always want to have some color. whether that's pastels or a deeper color with sparkles. I usually don't go for complicated patterns or flowers. And with the exception of some winter wear I usually wear clothes that are either... reasonably tight or airy? swishy? clothes that are either revealing the shape of my body by conforming to it or potentially revealing it by moving with or around it. I guess I would summarize it as... floaty elegance or maybe shameless elegance?

Hmm... when you're choosing your clothes to follow your style, does it feel to you like a collection of disconnected rules, or does it feel to you like a single coherent category of things you like to wear?

I think the honest answer is that there's at least two different styles that I use depending on circumstances and probably more than that. Some of that is about conforming to expectations about professionalism, but my more casual choices do feel different from what I wear around the apartment and they might also be different from what I use on my rare visits to naturist spaces. And I do like that flexibility. I guess I'll put this in probably not.

That makes sense. Being confined to a certain clothing style can be a pretty significant constraint, I think.

I don't think There's Another One is quite to the level of something I actively want. I'm a little unsure what it would mean honestly. There's so many powers and you're flexible enough with offering custom powers that I can't really predict much about what it will mean. I still think I'm willing to trust that the Spirit won't set me to encounter someone who has incompatible tastes in stories though.

I think someone who wants to work with other people the way you do could really benefit from There's Another One! There are lots of other vessels of the Spirit out there who want to help people, and while there are also vessels of the Spirit who aren't so nice, I think those ones often choose not to meet other vessels.

Huh, I hadn't thought of that. It makes sense that someone who wanted to mind control everyone probably wouldn't want someone else who might be immune coming in to mess up their plans. And I can see other ways of not being nice having similar sorts of reasoning.

I think you've convinced me that has a good chance to have outcomes I actively want. Incomplete and Nullified are also on that list.

It's not a perfect guarantee, but I do think it's a tendency. The more someone likes to be helpful and work together with others, the more comfortable they are with other people getting to be as special as them.

She nods at that. It makes sense. There's still room in there for conflicts about what constitutes helping people but she has a lot of powers that help her understand and talk to people.

Just for good measure she writes that bit of reasoning down.

Grimm's Fairy Tales is new of course. I think it might hurt less than Down To Earth but it doesn't have anything I want besides the point. And I don't want to undercut Cotton Candy that way

I don't see any appeal in sensory overload either and I'm not taking Like A Mirror.

Without taking Famous it's a bit less absurd to take Great Responsibility and now it has friends but... I still don't have a way to get to someone and help them. I guess that's part of why it's a drawback. I still don't think it would be a good thing to do to myself. I guess if I had powers that meant I could help them better I might change my mind but even if I take all the magic powers that isn't guaranteed.
