Fair. But the cheatsheets shouldn't take up too much memory, so it would still be a waste not to bring them...

With regard to Inspirational, I was hoping that I would be able to inspire people to regret hurting people who are not me, but also...there are things that I've been leaving openings to have happen, that I don't expect to hurt me, but that would hurt someone else, like, you know, all the sexy kidnapping, and, frankly, Personal Space says it prevents intimate contact you don't want, not intimate contact you didn't externally consent to. Getting people to understand that even if I'm fine, the decisions they made weren't okay...

Unfortunately, Inspirational is pretty limited in that respect. I wouldn't count on it in any situation where you or someone you personally care about isn't in trouble. Getting it to work when you're okay but someone is trying to hurt you or being careless about potentially hurting you sounds more plausible.

If it won't do anything about hurting people who aren't me then I don't care as much about it. I really do appreciate that clarification. As for Chaser Six When, I had not intended to do that, whoops. I will go through things to try to see where I did that and fix it.

The notebook draws a little heart just above the word 'appreciate'.

She goes over her choices and moves anything where the prerequisites are lower than the postrequisites, and also bumps down Inspirational. 

So with Decorative I was mostly thinking that I like being pretty, tell me more about how it can suck?

If you like being pretty and you're sure that you will want to stay pretty forever, then maybe Decorative is right for you! But I think some people think that they like being pretty, and don't think about all the possible situations they could be in where being pretty might feel stifling or incongruous or alienating, and then they take Decorative and have a difficult time. Decorative is best for people who aren't attached to any ways of not being beautiful.

...I...don't think I know myself well enough, now, at age nineteen, to make that kind of commitment for forever, no.

She erases the star next to Decorative. 

I am very glad that I Can Help Them and It Gets Better are so inviolate! I was pretty sure that that was the case but it's really important.

One of the Spirit's favourite things is stories about people being redeemed by the power of love. And the kind of person who really needs It Gets Better usually needs to be really sure of getting better.

She draws little stars around this last line. 

I'm thinking about custom drawbacks some more...would it be possible to do something, maybe riffing off of Beauty Is A Curse and Even Worse, that makes it more likely for people who are inclined towards Sexy Kidnapping to hear about me and how pretty I am?

Oh, I see what you mean! I can probably manage something like that. ♡

Thank you! ...I'm thinking of variations on the Best Friend tree, but, like, mostly not things I feel like I need, because I think I don't fully understand what things-I-might-want are already covered by the perks I have?

Well, can you talk about the things you want and I'll tell you if they're already covered?

She taps her fingers thoughtfully. 

Okay, but fair warning, I am going to feel so extremely seen.

Understood. ♡

So...what I want...is an extremely hot god or godlike being, but like, in the way where they still have a real body that is themself, not where they actually are a concept or a nebulous magical space and just have an avatar for interfacing with mortals. And I want to be that god's high priestess or equivalent, in a way where, like, we're in a relationship, and the fact that he's a god and I'm a mortal--well, mortal-ish, I assume you get what I mean--introduces, like, d/s elements where he's dominant and I'm submissive, but not in a way where he's emotionally unavailable or doesn't respect me as a person. ...I don't require his real body that is himself to be, like, fundamentally humanoid or male, just for that to be a shape they can take for sexy purposes and for it to be present in enough relevant religious art that it'd be generally recognized, and for them to be fully present in it when we're together. Additional humanoid forms of any gender are fine, additional forms of arbitrary shape that are not present in religious iconography, either incidentally or for purposes of going deliberately incognito are fine, other lovers are fine but I want it firmly established that I'm his primary/favorite/etc. ...Also I didn't think of this until now but it would be very hot if he had a humanoid form several times the size of a human being that they used for things like sitting on extremely large thrones in temples being impressive and I could only have sex with them in that form on account of having taken the Princess and the Dragon. ...Also also, I think I do want kids someday but not anytime soon, so ideally they should be open to the idea of demigod babies but not, like, in a hurry about it, and it absolutely should not be baked into my role as High Priestess etc.

That all sounds like something that your existing perks could definitely deliver, and like if it's something that's really centrally important to you, your powers will arrange it or something like it! ♡

Some Best(est) Friends are created directly by your powers and some are arranged for you by having you find them early on in your new life. It sounds like this is going to be the second sort of situation, given the amount of infrastructure implied by that description. Or would you be open to an arrangement where you're a new god's first follower?

I would be open to that, but...I would rather be a very welcome present for someone who already exists and doesn't know yet that they have a me-shaped hole in their life, than create a new person who could have just as easily not needed me.

That makes sense! And is very much the kind of thing that these powers take into account.

I'm sure there's a kind of girl out there though who'll feel a lot safer if everyone around her was specifically created for her convenience, though.

I think having everyone around you be created for your convenience is pretty unusual. Having the Best(est) Friend specifically turn out that way is more common. And I think there might be an element of some people being easier to matchmake than others, too. I don't have any direct experience with relationships, but the thing you want sounds like the sort of thing that someone else could very easily want to have with you.

That is because I am a fan of healthy relationships.

Can you only read stuff that I write in you, or if I wrote a list in another notebook and pressed your pages to its pages, could you read the list?

Yes, I can read things that you press against my pages!

Cool. I want to write an inventory of things I'm going out and picking up in stores so that I can pocket dimension them later, and I think I probably should do that in a different notebook because I would bet I can't pocket dimension you, but if you had opinions I would love to hear them.
