"What sort of family you will have in the new world. Socioeconomic status. The type of supernatural power you will have access to. And so on in that vein."

"Those aren't minor, you florist's month-old discards." Maybe she shouldn't have provoked the magic thing with the power to fuck with her life so utterly oh well "What--" she wasn't going to ask about the Hermit or the Chariot those could die in a fire "--supernatural powers does the Hanged Man grant?"

"The ability to change your appearance. The ability to fly. The ability to speak with the dead. All of these are powers granted by the Hanged Man."

"What aren't you telling me about this card?"

"Quite a bit."

"...Out of the things you're not telling me about this card, which one do you think is most likely to make me not pick it?"

The shadow shrugs.

"Out of the things you're not telling me about this card, which ones have the most people who learned about them reacted negatively to in the past?"

The shadow shrugs again.

Augh. "What are the supernatural abilities of the Fool card?"

"Small wishes. Ancient artifacts. New skills."

"What kind of wishes? What kind of artifacts? What kind of skills?"

"Wishes like 'to be able to fly for the next hour.' Artifacts such as a set of goggles that would let you see through objects. Skills such as mastery of painting and drawing."

That's pretty great, but it doesn't necessarily stack up all that well against eternal youth. "How does the Hanged Man card affect what kind of family I would have?"

"Those who choose the Hanged Man will have a rich and powerful family in the new world, who will protect them from danger."

"What kind of family does the Fool card give?"

"A low or middle-class family, more likely a lower-class one."

"...Is there anything I can choose besides what specific card I get?"

"Yes. For instance, you may choose to pick now, or to ask more questions."

"Is there anything about the cards I can choose."

The shadow rubs its temples with one of its excess hands. "Yes."

"What can I choose about the cards."

"It depends on the individual card."

"What can I choose about the Hanged Man card?"

"The strengths, weaknesses, and general appearance of your new body. Your family reputation, your demonic bloodline, your bodyguard, and the supernatural augmentations available to you."
