What would that look like? I don't think I really need it even if I'm staying but it feels worth seeing.

Let me see if I remember...

Name: Severance - Cost: 2 ☐
(Requires What's In A Name)
Identities that you gravely and deliberately cast aside no longer describe you or refer to you. You cannot be traced by them or identified with them. No one will ever know that you are the same person you were once known as, unless you choose to personally tell them.

"That's... wow, I don't... I never really expected to see them again but that's very very final."

Tom pulls her up and into a hug. "It's okay, none of this is final yet. And even if you do take this you can still go find them if you want to. This just prevents them from surprising you. They can't do anything to you anyway you're an adult now."

"I haven't thought of them in years but..." she takes a slow shuddering breath. "I left for good reasons. I just wish I could have protected everyone else."

"I know, I know you do, but you were ten it wasn't your responsibility and they got out. It took longer but they got out. You checked."

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?
