Okay, so it's not guaranteed. She could still totally fumble it. Make a real hash out of it. She has zero experience, what can she do about that? 

Well, Time Enough For Love would let her do the best she could, with all the time she could take... It would make scheduling easy... 

And she could take Mysterious Allure and Captive Audience... 

... 

No, actually. She's already getting all the time she wants to spend together with someone who has a crush on her and who she has favorable circumstances with. If she can't manage it from there, what's even the point? Then she would really be a loser. Getting past... stupid luck and chance is one thing... Not being willing to put in any effort at all is very much a different thing.  

Does Time Enough For Love apply to people you've just started dating? Or does it take some time to start applying? Where's the, um, boundary between a close friend or true love and just an acquiantance?

The line is mostly about how you see the person and the time you spend with them. Is this someone you're just trying things out with? Or is this someone you care deeply about and want to devote meaningful quantities of time to making them smile?

Okay.

That sounds like she can't cheat it to give her indefinite time with someone she's just met. Even if she's had a crush on her since she was fourteen. It could happen but it seems unlikely. 

I think I want to talk a few things over with you. About... what I want and what I should do. 

I... all my life I've been scared of my sexuality. It doesn't - fit anywhere in polite society. When I was like fourteen my mom found my browser history when I was looking up, um, girls with dicks. And she sort of gave me this look. And then after that there was... hentai on Newgrounds, with tentacles, and HentaiFoundry... 

I don't know. Is it normal for a girl to look up, um, tentacle hentai? I always really liked the ones where the girl was kissing or holding the tentacles and clearly enjoying it...

GOSH her cheeks are so red right now. 

I'm sorry if you don't want to talk about this. 

I don't mind talking about this at all! I do feel like you deserve a hug or several about all of that, though.

I have talked with and given powers to girls who were born in both feminine and masculine bodies. I have talked with and given powers to girls who want to want to have every different configuration of body parts you can think of. I have helped girls who wanted to have sex with tentacles, and girls who wanted to have tentacles of their very own. None of what you want to be is wrong. The Spirit and I want to help you have the special and beautiful life that is best at fulfilling you, not the society you come from.

If the society around you doesn't know how to handle your true self, then maybe you need a different society?

... Yeah, maybe I do. 

Isekai roulette feels like it's getting more and more tempting because I don't even really... know what I want. And the more I get to know you, the more I trust you, and I really feel like you would do a good job for me...

Okay. 

Let me go back a little...

She reads back over the list. 

I want Love Interest and Time Enough for Love, and Fated Lovers, but Love Interest requires Mysterious Allure... 

I don't know if I have what it takes to be, um, popular. I mean I could just take Popular but what would I even be popular for? 

Having um, admirers, makes me really blush a lot. Being able to have that kind of effect on people is kind of hot but I don't know if I want it all the time...

Honestly, Fated Lovers might be enough if it gives me unlimited tries... 

I just. Rejection's so hard. I was never able to ask anyone out in high school. At the uni there's the computer science club and there was a girl there I crushed on, and I got together all my courage to say, um, I uh, I used a pokémon reference. I said... "I choose you to ask out on a date!" 

She turned me down obviously because I was a complete and total dork. 

It kind of helped a little to be able to say it, though. 

I don't know if I could manage that happening a bunch of times though.

I think you may be underestimating the charm effects that just being comfortable in your own body can provide, or those of being a beauty. But to address your concerns more directly, the Friends In X Places series of powers operate primarily through enhancing your social intuitions, not by magically handing you friends. I've heard that the best romances start from the best friendships, so that should help you out a lot.

She looks at the powers. 

Yeah, those look good. I would love to feel more comfortable around... people in general, I guess. 

Being more comfortable in my own body would help. I guess I was kind of forgetting about Hollow Leg and Thousand Ships. I'd be, like, hot. 

... It's just so hard to feel like anyone would like me for who I actually am. 

She takes a slow breath, blinks back tears. 

I mean, my only friend in the world is a magic talking notebook...

You seem pretty great to me! I wish I could give you a hug about this, but alas, sharp corners and no arms.

I think people will like you just fine. You've had a hard time, it sounds like, but things are going to get easier.

Okay. I trust you.

She looks back at the set of powers. 

I think that, um, I've been going through this all wrong. It's so... A lot of this is super emotional for me, it's stuff that I... want to grab and hold on to forever and ever... But I'm going through this all disorganizedly. I'm a CharOp person, I need to... take a step back and think a little more strategically. 

Could you please clear my build so far and give me a new fresh page? I want to... go through systematically and write down what I think for each power as I go, and assign them colors...

Give me a second, I need to grab my pencil crayons. 

She sets down the book gently, crosses the room to her desk by the window, and brings back four pencil crayons in blue, green, yellow and red. 

Notebook-chan is the optimal choice.

Being a girl is a solid choice. 

My kinks are kind of niche.

Being a boy is very suboptimal. 

It's time to write a handbook ♡

She looks at the heart she's just drawn on the page. 

She taps her pen. 

Drawing hearts in the precious notebook is a very strong choice. It makes you feel femme and also shows your appreciation. And the notebook can write back!

♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ 

Do you have a name, actually? That you'd like to be called?

The notebook draws pink hearts and stars around "Notebook-chan is the optimal choice" and all of Maxine's hearts.

♡ Awwww, thank you! And no, I don't have a name. I like to pick new ones with power-recipients if they invite me along on their adventures, sometimes. Do you have a name you'd like to be called?

I love your color-coding idea, by the way, and I'm clearing out your previous check-marks... now.

And now there's a fresh page right after the current conversation, before the power list starts.

Um... I call myself Max sometimes on the internet...

So let's go with Maxine. It feels right.

Let's do the starting section first.

She flips to the new page, and writes.

DESTINATIONS

Stay Put is very suboptimal. There's not a lot to do on earth compared to all the hundreds of fictional worlds on offer. 

Somewhere In Mind is a niche choice, because it allows you to target precisely at a specific person or thing if you deeply want it. Keladry of Mindelan, for example. Or the Dresden Files universe. Or your made up version of the Dresden Files universe that has Keladry of Mindelan in it. That said, it's strictly worse than...

Isekai Roulette looks at options you don't personally have access to, using the Spirit's best judgment, which is pretty demonstrably better than yours after years of being stuck as a boy on Earth. From the three location options, it's by far the most optimal.

Then flips back a page. 

So far, so easy. Let's move on to the personal powers.

She flips forward again.

YOURSELF

A Thousand Ships means you get to have a face you actually like. However, it comes with a bunch of added bonus hot. Being hot is kind of cool and generally applicable, but mostly this is good for the fact it makes you more feminine. It's also extremely cheap, at only one point.

What's In A Name is a niche pick, being entirely dependent on going to a world that has name magic. If you actively plan to go to a world like that, it's blue, because otherwise you'll have to worry about your true name not being right or fitting for who you are. For only one point that's a steal. 

Angelic Tones lets you sing in any vocal range you like, which lets you copy Valshe's trick that you really really really like. However, it costs two points, which is perhaps a little steep for a single trick like this. It's a nice-to-have rather than optimal.

Emerald Orbs is kind of silly and alien. It's a cosmetic effect that doesn't really map well to what you want. It's not a very good pick. There are far better things to spend two points on.

Perfect Hair means you never have to get a haircut ever again, and can have whatever style is ideal for you. It's a bit anime, being willing to produce non-physically plausible hairstyles, but I mean, you always did want to have hair that came down to your mid-back... And this would let that happen easily. It's a strong choice but not optimal, especially for two points.

Size Difference means you can be the little spoon when you get cuddled, or the big spoon if you want to cuddle someone else, regardless of which you prefer, without causing problems. It also gives you an incidental size changing power which might have a little utility. For mundane utility - fitting in small spaces, reaching things on high shelves, and so on - this is a pretty decent constant little buff. It's a good option even for two points.

Dressing Room is three points for being able to wear whatever you want whenever you want, and never have to do maintenance on it of any kind. This keeps you from ever having to do laundry again. It lets you look however you like whenever you like. It earns its three point cost. 

Personal Hygiene means never having to go to the bathroom ever again. For one point that's a steal. Optimal.

Like Roses has an essentially free prerequisite due to Personal Hygiene being optimal. However, it only allows you to pick one scent, which you will then be stuck with for forever. Even for only one point, this effect's not worth it, especially when for the same one point you can take Making Ends Meet which should support the occasional perfuming. 

Just a Little Longer gives you indefinite stamina for any task you care about deeply. It's an absolute steal at only one point, even with the drawback of sleeping for an entire day afterwards. Optimal.

Immunity System prevents you from ever having an illness again. A lot of causes of death are from illness. Not to mention poison. It could be read as niche if you are going to a universe with really good healthcare, but it's still decent as a utility power to prevent hassles - colds, stomach bugs, etc. If you're aiming for a medieval or other unsanitary world this is blue.

My Ears Are Burning is an absolute anxiety nightmare and makes everything harder, for six points. Trap option.

Well Endowed is good. It lets you have a hot body that you enjoy and prevents the natural encumberances of generous endowments. However, the fact that it's a prerequisite for Hollow Leg makes it optimal. 

Hollow Leg gives you your ideal body and maintains it forever. This could be a cure for aging? Even if it isn't, it's an incredibly strong option. Optimal. 

Inner Strength has two free prerequisites, and makes you a heroic figure able to deal with all kinds of things. It has some mundane utility to it, but mostly shines in a world where you expect to get into fights, in which case Battle Maiden is a far superior option for an equal number of points. General lifting and hauling is largely better handled by the two power combo of Making Ends Meet and Motherlode to simply get someone else to do it. Just A Little Longer handles the endurance component of this more effectively. 

Battle Angel is niche. It has extremely strong utility in a world where you get into physical fights with stakes, in which case it's blue, but if you don't want to get into fights it's only orange.

Battle Demon is a very niche power that's only really useful if you are getting into fights or conflicts. It probably makes games less fun, too. Suboptimal. 

Battle Maiden lets you have a standing chance in a conflict-ridden world like Naruto or Dresden Files or anything shonen. As such, it expands your available targets... but most of those worlds you don't want to go to anyway. As such, it's not worth its three-point cost, especially if it comes at the cost of not being able to lose at things. Also, Anything You Can Do can let you pick up these skills independently.

Making Ends Meet means you never have to worry about the essentials of life again. It's incredibly powerful, utility-wise. It's also a prerequisite for Motherlode. Optimal. 

Motherlode lets you hire people for basically anything practical and normal to you. Money can be exchanged for goods and services. It's also optimal. 

Four Star Daydream is incredibly powerful, so powerful that it in fact threatens to become a nightmare to execute on. Trying to change the world with huge sums of money is messy and complicated. Theoretically you could say this power means you can afford, like, immortality? Or your own planet? There has to be a limit on this. For now for four points this is maybe good?

Dragon Elf Fairy Witch lets you be a furry by moving to a world with furries. Or whatever fantasy species you prefer. And it lets you pick up as many inborn utility powers as you want. In any fantasy kitchen sink, this is strong. In mundane worlds it's a trap origin unless you're really into saying your family history involves, like, an actual literal bear.  

Omniglot is useful for any world without translation magic, but usually is only moderately good, especially given that Anything You Can Do can help you pick up languages. It would be better to simply go to a world where they speak English. 

Anything You Can Do comes with a hefty point cost, but that's because it's an omniskill that makes you better at everything. This is effectively a multiplier on your time; investing less gets you more results. For someone with ADD who bounces from project to project constantly, this is probably the best skill ever. Well worth the 6 points. 

Closed Book is a simple immunity for one point. With edits to allow willing access, it's good in any fantasy kitchen sink. This is probably wise for me to take given my predilictions.

Indelible with the accepted exception is also good, for a single point knocking out a major vulnerability in many fantasy worlds. However, it's again mostly only good if you expect to get mind controlled somehow. Given my history, probably this is wise.

Iron Will extends Closed Book and Indelible to give a blanket immunity to "mental damage". It's pretty cool. It's probably worth having given my predilections. 

Okay, that's the second section done. She flips back to the previous page. 

How am I doing, do you think? There are some questions in there for you, could you maybe answer them?

The notebook draws several hearts around Maxine's name.

Oooh. I like this system even more than I thought! And yes, you're doing well, and I'll answer those questions.

Unless aging is ego-syntonic for you, you won't age with Hollow Leg.

As for Four Star Daydream, the limit is that there has to be an actual way to buy such a thing. You can't use Four Star Daydream to buy a planet if there's no one you can contact who owns a planet and would part with it for an unreasonable amount of money, to use one of your examples. This power doesn't cause there to be more things available for sale. All it does is guarantee that you'll be able to buy anything that already is.

Actually, would you like me to move your notes into little note boxes next to each power, and color-code the power titles? I could do that as you go, even.

Oh, yes, please! Thank you very much!

She taps her pen against the page. 

I think Four Star Daydream drops down to Yellow, then, because it basically just lets you get 14 yachts and a bunch of things you don't use and a lot of responsibility. 

Hollow Leg is the BEST POWER. It is so good. TYSM.

I think that bumps up the rank for Battle Angel and Immunity System simply because in a long enough life you're likely to get into some kind of conflict or some kind of disease eventually. So: 

She flips forward and amends her notes:

Battle Angel is a nice protective power against any kind of armed conflict. Normally I'd just hope to avoid that kind of thing, but with Hollow Leg making it so you don't age, extra protection against death is worth a spare point.

Immunity System will almost certainly get used over the length of a long enough life even in a health-crazy world, so it's very worth taking. 

She flips back again. 

Okay, I'm going to do the Power of Friendship stuff now. 

Mysterious Allure is a prerequisite for the Love Interest line, but costs a hefty five points. It makes you the most interesting person in any room. Being fascinating really makes me feel good but I'm not sure it's worth a whole five points when it doesn't come with an off switch. Niche at best. 

Captive Audience is a hefty three points, but makes you an incredible public speaker for any topic you care about. And also I just like infodumping and it would be nice if people would pay attention about that. I could tell stories and be an entertainer... Do hypnosis scripts... There's a lot of potential applications to this, even if it is three points. 

Blackout Binge is entirely emulatable with hypnosis and in a more responsible and aesthetically appropriate way. Trap option. 

Disney Princess gives you some small control over animals, but it's not super useful, and I'm not really an animal person at all anyway. And it costs two points. I think it's just not good. 

Best Friend is, like, a familiar! You know what happens with familiars in D&D? That's right, you completely forget about them. It's kind of cool to have a magic pet but I don't want to have to deal with actually keeping a pet. Even a magic pet. 

Bestest Friend is basically a guaranteed loyal friend that happens to be shaped funny. Combos... interestingly... with The Princess and the Dragon. ... I could have a pet tentacle monster. A smart one, too. Gosh, that's really tempting. There's no guarantee that they'd be, um, interested in that, but if I get to design the "animal companion" or pick them it could be likely? I have to admit I'm really tempted by the idea of a permanent squishy ball of tentacles partner I could always rely on... At a total cost of 8 points though, that's pretty steep. I would say overall this is niche unless the magnificent magical powers are really satisfying and unique, in which case it could be good.

Generosity sounds really nice, but having recieved plenty of bad presents from my family there is nothing more awkward than a gift you didn't want, and this doesn't provide any guarantee of success. Trap option? 

Helpfulness is cute, but, like, don't I have better things to spend my friends' time on when I have a Motherlode level life? This is what staff are for. Not at all worth it for four points.

Cuddle Buddies feels like a really good option. Cuddles are... I just. I haven't been pet by anyone since I was like twelve and my mom told me I'd have to wait until I got a girlfriend who'd do that for me instead of her. I miss them a lot. I think it could be worth some points to get a guarantee of cuddles. Good? Possibly Optimal?

Flattery is kind of... I don't know how I'd really react to praise, I get so little of it. I want it a lot, and it's only one point... tentatively I want to call this good. 

Quality Time is really important to me too, and that's only two points, so... I think I could afford it? It's good with Cuddle Buddies. I think this is good. 

Agree to Agree is kind of kinky but not something I'd actually want to have happen in my life. I want people who are able to disagree with me and change my mind about things! Incredibly nasty trap option for four points? No thank you. 

Love Interest is a really, really nice guarantee of being able to be cared for by anyone you fall for. It's really sweet and soft and comforting to have. Unfortunately, it's stuck behind Mysterious Allure, which is a five-point prerequisite and of a bit dubious value. I think this is good but probably not worth its point cost. 

Love Triangle is really questionable! I don't want to make people break up with their partners they love to be with me! Really feels like a trap option. 

Love Dodecahedron fixes the problems with Love Triangle a bit? It's a really nice guarantee of no romantic jealousy in your life. It's expensive af though at a total point cost of 12 points counting its dubious prerequisites. It's likely not worth it at that cost. Niche at best.

Time Enough For Love is an incredible power. It gives you more time. Like, more hours in the day more time. It lets you maintain a personal relationship with anyone you want to. As many people as you want to. That is incredible. Optimal even at five points.

I Can Fix Them is kinky but I just don't want to date morally reprehensible people? Period? Sucks to suck? No thanks. It has responsible useful uses but I do not want to go cure the villains of the multiverse with my cock. No, not even the hot ones. I can't even think of a hot villain I'd like to cure with my dick right now, which goes to show how much I care about this. Absolutely not worth five points.

True Love's Kiss is only one point and is a free cure to any accident or hostile magic. Nice little catchall for one point; at least good, quite possibly optimal. 

Planned Parenthood would make me only match with partners who are okay with... my kid plan. I don't even think I have a kid plan. I mean, I'm only twenty and I've never dated before... And theoretically I'd have a... vagina... at least sometimes. Reliable magical contraception is an incredible QOL power. Especially for only one point. Quite possibly Optimal. 

Two Become One is... It sounds magical, but it doesn't really say anything about... well, it says it's wonderful? And beautiful? Does this guarantee good experiences? It seems a little vague. I think this is... like, good? It is only one point and a prerequisite for Bop It. (Bop it is not actually that good.) I think I want to ask notebook-chan a bit more about this one. 

Bop It feels really, really good. Having powerful sexual skills is just... Yes, please. Thank you. I would like it. However, any time that I am actually, um, actively having sex with someone, I expect they're willing to teach me about it... In which case I learn 20x faster than they did with Anything You Can Do. So this is actually almost directly a waste of the point and steals the learning experience too. 

The Princess And The Dragon is a really, um, creative power. And I think I agree with it. Given the, um. Everything. About me. It's probably worth it. 

GGG is really nice because it means that anything I enjoy my partners will enjoy too. I don't have to... worry about what they want? Hmmmmmm, that feels a bit questionable. I'm unsure about this one. It feels good but it could be a trap option. I want to talk to the notebook about it a bit more. 

Before Your Eyes is kind of... I'm not gay. I think. I'm pretty sure. And if I go somewhere where, um. Kinks are generally okay? This could be free. I think this one is kind of niche at best, especially for four points. 

Fated Lovers guarantees infinite good chances at finding a partner. YES PLEASE. For three points that's a steal.

Sorry About That and its additions - Excuse Me and Tragic Backstory - are obvious trap options. If I fuck up I want to be okay after! 

Sense of Style is kind of hot and gives me maybe a cue to act on? Like, it would make it easier to approach people I like the looks of... Four points is pretty steep though. I think this is kind of niche. 

Bonus Style Points is a nice addition to Sense of Style... But the really amazing thing is that it could let me help reach other people like me. Because if they were... like me... even with that they were a boy, before... Well, that would make them, like, perfect for me, right? I really like this one even though it has a total cost of seven points. I think it's good.

Popular would be really nice... I'd be able to share my writing with people who liked it... and get people to play D&D with... But I'm not sure I'd be okay with maintaining an image all the time... I think right now this is niche?

Famous is absolutely a trap option. I don't want to be gossiped about! I don't want to get crushed on by random strangers! No thank you!

Undiplomatic Immunity is really useful if I'm in a place where the law is Just Bad. I don't really want to be in a place like that, but it would be nice. I think the worry I'd have is that they'd go after my friends maybe? Does this protect my friends from being called accomplices? It is six points though. Maybe worth it?

Friends in Low Places is alright. It's a little niche but maybe worth it. 

Friends in High Places is kind of gold-diggy but synergizes well with Motherlode. Probably worth it.

Friends in Strange Places sounds like, um, like me. Like I know them. It's probably optimal for the kind of person I am.

She flips forward. 

How am I doing? Can you answer my questions and maybe say a couple things about the powers I marked for discussion?

Each element of notes gets moved off to its entry when completed, and the page stays relatively clear.

A heart gets drawn next to Maxine's "thank you", and next to the appreciation for Hollow Leg.

Next to the notes about Bestest Friend, the notebook comments:

You do get to put as much design into your companion as you'd like, and I have seen one girl synergize that with Dragon Fairy Elf Witch before.

A few little hearts get drawn around Maxine's desire for cuddles.

A lot of hearts and stars embellish her appreciation for Time Enough For Love.

Two Become One guarantees that unfortunate things don't go wrong and ruin the sex. It doesn't guarantee that your skill or your partner's will go right.

And then next to the comments about GGG:

Could you elaborate on your question, please?

Next to Before Your Eyes, it writes:

Just guessing from your prior statements, Maxine, it reads like you're misgendering yourself here. A girl who likes watching two boys kiss is straight. A girl who does not, but enjoys watching two girls kiss, is gay. Or maybe bi if she also likes kissing boys sometimes.

The enthusiasm for Fated Lovers gets hearts around it.

You're doing really well, Maxine. I'm impressed with how much care you're putting in, and how nicely you're color-coding it.

A custom tentacle pet sounds really, really fun, but I'm a little worried they'd spoil me for any other partner... I kind of want it and I kind of don't, especially when I factor in my virginity... I think that the 8 point cost makes it difficult. It's just not worth it compared to what that 8 points could get me elsewhere. I can't believe I'm turning down my own pet tentacle monster but... with all the other things I could get instead... well, let's tentatively mark it green and we can come back to it when we're trying to cut down our selections. 

If Two Become One keeps, like, the phone from ringing unexpectedly during sex, that's probably worth the point all by itself. I think it's green.

Does GGG change what your partner enjoys actively, or does it just work as partner matching, or... I'm not sure how to ask it. I guess it just feels bad to make other people more like my weird sexuality? It would be better if they were like me already. 

All your hearts and sparkles are really cute by the way. ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

She pauses at the assertion that if she liked to watch guys kiss she'd be straight. 

... She guesses she's a lesbian, then? So she really is gay. Her father was right? Completely by accident and in the wrong direction, but... 

She smiles just a little. 

Thank you for correcting me, notebook-chan. I... yeah. I guess I'm still not really used to being a girl. 

Thank you for the praise, it's really nice... I've never had anyone tell me I was impressive before.

It keeps the phone from ringing unless it would be narratively important to interrupt right then. This is likely to be very rare.

GGG uses partner-matching — and in some cases pre-emptive universe matching — whenever possible, and it usually is. Directly modifying people is always the last resort.

And I really am glad to help. Sometimes a girl who's learning to recognize herself needs a helping hand. That doesn't make her any less of a good girl.

And the comment about the hearts and sparkles gets adorned with a multitude of hearts and sparkles.

She's a good girl?

That's probably still worth it then.

I think I need to sit with GGG a little bit more and think about it. Let's have a look at the drawbacks.

She flips to the pages with her detailed charts. 

DRAWBACKS

Decorative is not acceptable. I don't want to be cute and pretty and feminine all the time. I especially don't want to be unable to make unpretty noises. 

Beauty Is A Curse is incredibly annoying. No thanks. 

Plain Jane is a no. Just. No. 

Style of Sisyphus is actually potentially takable. It's a small mental edit and a little bit frustrating, but for a point edgewise it could be worth it. Niche.

There's Another One is really questionable given that the other girl could be taking, like, the bad backstory stuff or infinite money or something. Rival drawbacks are rarely worth it. They could be non-hostile, but why take the chance? Niche at best. Especially if the other one has one of the nasty drawbacks like You Ruin Them! 

Incomplete is just really really inconvenient, particularly because it can make Time Enough For Love malfunction, which defeats the entire purpose of having it. Actively breaks blue options, not good for a build.

Green With Envy is pretty awful too. Causing drama is not something I'm up for!

You Ruin Them is also just making other people's lives worse for no reason, no thank you!

Jilted Lovers is even worse! 

The Crazy Train also feels like it's just gambling with my points hugely. Why would I break core parts of my build arbitrarily? 

They'll Know is suspiciously okay? Like, I kind of actively prefer for people to know that my magic powers introduced us or whatever? It's a little questionable with mind control abilities but it could be actually decent, and it's eight points? This could actually be worth it? I'm just really suspicious because the rest of these drawbacks are so crippling that I'm missing something. 

Realism is a hard no from me. It could give me all the points I'd need to take everything else and I still wouldn't take it. 

Okay. She's marked everything. 

Notebook-chan, what does it cost to take everything in blue and green? With prerequisites. 

Next to the commentary on Incomplete, notebook-chan notes:

I would like to add that Incomplete only affects the seemingly-mind-affecting powers, like Generosity or Mysterious Allure, not ones like Time Enough For Love. Even the Friends In X Places powers get by mostly untouched, because most of their operation is on your mind, not those of your new friends.

The notes on They'll Know get a comment as well.

The main thing people worry about with this one is jealousy and envy.

Being called notebook-chan earns a few little sparkles, and then it provides a total.

Adding all that up, including pre-requisites and the They'll Know drawback, your total is 87 points.

Incomplete might be green then? I'm not sure. It could be a powerful build around...

She lays back against the headboard, closes her eyes for a moment. It's getting pretty late, now, and she's tired. 

She sighs, stretches, writes another line in the book. 

Even if I take Incomplete, I'm still at 82 points... I'd want to cut pieces from the green section then... Going through all that again feels kind of difficult, but it's really important. 

Could you collect together my notes on the green powers for me?

Sure!

Okay, so sorting by total point cost to take, we have...

1 Point: A Thousand Ships, Battle Angel, Closed Book, Indelible, Flattery, True Love's Kiss, Two Become One (Forces Planned Parenthood)

2 Points: Angelic Tones, Perfect Hair, Size Difference, Iron Will (Forces Indelible and Closed Book), Cuddle Buddies, Quality Time

3 Points: Dressing Room, Immunity System, Captive Audience, The Princess and the Dragon, Friends in High Places

4 Points: 4 Star Daydream

5 Points: Dragon Elf Fairy Witch

She taps her pen against the page and yawns and stretches.

This would be easier if I had a list of the blue powers as well. Could you collect those too so I can see where my build is before I start taking green things?

Will do! ♡

Okay, so our "core build" is: 

- Large but finite amounts of money. 
- Indefinite stamina for things we personally care about, at the cost of strain during it and collapse afterwards.
- 5x learning rate compared to anyone we personally know, and 20x learning rate from anyone we know personally who's trying to teach us.
- Infinite chances to find our true love with good circumstances each time. 
- Infinite quality time to spend with close friends and love interests.
- Instinctive rapport with other strange people.  
- An ideal body in general bodyplan, but not any specific traits such as hair, eyes, voice, or face. Agelessness
- Perfect contraception & fit on, um, reproductive plans.

Notable combos:
- Infinite Stamina + 20x learning rate when learning a skill from someone close to me = incredibly fast progress
- Agelessness + Infinite Stamina + 20x learning rate + lots of friends = so many skills
- Infinite Quality Time + Perfect Contraception + Indefinite Stamina = probably a LOT of sex once I find someone I'm comfortable with
- Hot body + Incredible Learning Rate + Infinite setup chances + natural rapport with other strange people + loads of money = probably enough to get even me a relationship if I'm being really honest with myself. It almost feels like cheating, but... Yeah. 

Maxine clicks the end of her pen, poking the end out and in and out and in again. 

Okay, let's have another look at the rest of the green powers in this context, then. 

1 Point Powers: 
A Thousand Ships solves a major problem with Hollow Leg not covering general facial structure, I think?
Battle Angel, Closed Book, and Indelible are all useful protective powers. 
True Love's Kiss has incredible synergy with infinite quality time. I was thinking of this as something that would apply to just myself and one other person, but... if I have the option to seriously date multiple people, as Time Enough For Love gives me... that would increase the strength of this a lot.
Flattery seems kind of redundant, with Anything You Can Do, honestly? I feel like... being hot and rich and talented is going to cause a lot of this anyway, right? So it doesn't need to be purchased with points. 
Two Become One is kind of redundant with Time Enough For Love. It does have some minor benefit in preventing interruptions sort of? But I can just pause an interruption for as long as I want with Time Enough For Love. It's not that good!

2 Point Powers: 
Angelic Tones is absolutely necessary if otherwise I would be stuck with boy voice, but I expect that changing my entire body structure would change that? It's supernaturally beautiful and makes song magic better, and I would really like to be able to do Valshe's trick, but I'm unsure about this one. Could be green or orange. 
Perfect Hair lets me have waist-length hair that never takes upkeep. It's pretty cool. Never getting a haircut again would be another little headache removed from my life. Decent?
Size Difference could have a lot of utility with size shifting, and implies more flexibility with my body than Hollow Leg would necessarily give me. 
Iron Will requires both Indelible and Closed Book, but gives a very broad spectrum immunity that's probably worth it.
Cuddle Buddies... is probably actually solvable by just having enough friends with Time Enough For Love. It's really hard for me to let this go but I think as a matter of spending limited resources this is something I can get for myself. By picking and maintaining the relationships I want. It's hard to let go of it but it might not be optimal.
Quality Time is also mostly fixed with enough relationships. It could be hard to deal with someone in particular not wanting to spend time with me, but... I think it's not neccessary. 

3 Point Powers:
Dressing Room is a major QOL buff, and with someone to teach me how to dress well - hire a tutor with money or pick it up off a friend - it's going to be really useful. Being able to wear whatever I want is already given by extravagant lifestyle, but being able to quick-change in the middle of anything is hugely useful. Especially if things stay in the pockets?
Immunity System is a nice immunity, but I'm not sure it's worth three points. Never getting a cold again is definitely worth something though... I'm unsure about this one. 
Captive Audience is an incredibly powerful public speaking buff... But it's also something that's largely mundanely achievable through dedicated study, if I want to go that direction. Scary learning process in this direction, but I think that maybe says something about what I'm like as a person. And if I want to monologue I just need to find someone who's into that, right...?
The Princess And The Dragon breaks physics for the sake of sex, and, um. Yeah. The kinds of... stuff I like... probably means this is a pretty safe bet to get used eventually.
Friends in High Places synergizes extremely well with Motherlode to help me get used to, um, being rich. It's probably an optimal play. 

4 Point Powers:
4 Star Daydream is incredibly genre-shifting, but I don't really want to be someone who changes the fate of nations or whatever. I figure with a set of learned skills and enough time something like this will eventually happen if I want it to... So I think I'll set it aside. Motherlode is already good enough for most practical purposes.

5 Point Powers: 
Dragon Elf Fairy Witch is a source of a ton of arbitrary magical powers that are unlearnable. On a second read I think it's actually incredibly broken because it complements Anything You Can Do perfectly. I think this one is optimal.

6 Point Powers: 
Love Interest is a nice little guarantee but it's not at all worth six points when I already have a bunch of powers making me hot relationship material.
Undiplomatic Immunity is really an immunity to bad laws, but I'm not confident that it's worth it. Over a long enough life it could be really useful, though. Mostly I worry that it wouldn't apply to the people I care about.

7 Point Powers: 
Bonus Style Points is really good for making me encounter people I really like the looks of, but the thing I want it for is the chance to help other girls like me have their ideal bodies. If I want to mess around and make changes in other people's lives, though, isn't 4 Star Daydream better? And I've already decided against that. So I think this is a no.

8 Point Powers: 
Bestest Friend is in my head because of my dream of having a pet tentacle monster, but... honestly, I can, like, meet one and date one and figure it out that way, right? The guarantee of infinite loyalty and super magical powers isn't really the point, it's just that I'm lonely. And I think I'm going to be able to solve that. I hope so, at least. Not necessary to the build.

She takes a slow breath, and totals her points. 25 for the core build, then the ones she's marked above... 

I think all the blue and green-not-grorange stuff I've just marked above on top of my core build comes out to fifty points? Can you check for me, Notebook-chan?

A little doodle of a notebook with arms hugging a doodle of a girl appears next to the "even me" comment.

The notes on Angelic Tones get the following:

Yes, your new body would come with a new voice anyway. It wouldn't be supernaturally beautiful, but it would be a perfectly fine and probably decently pretty voice for a girl with your build.

The comments on Dressing Room also get a note:

Yes, things stay in the pockets. Anything in the pockets of anything you wear can be recovered later. Even lost or destroyed things, if they're sentimental, can often be recovered. Yes, I have had other recipients describe this as a minor form of "hammerspace".

Then there's a reply to the Captive Audience comments.

I'm sure you'll find people who want to hear what you have to say, with or without a power backing it.

The notes on Undiplomatic Immunity get some contemplation.

Good question! I think... yes, I think it spreads based on your involvement with the "crime". If it's yours and they're helping, it's just not a crime. If it's theirs and you're helping, the effectiveness depends on how involved and integral you were.

Finally, surrounded by a few hearts, notebook-chan replies,

Gladly! .....Yes, 50 points, with just those and no drawbacks.

Oh wow, Dressing Room is absolutely blue then. 

I think I should look at all the orange and orange-green stuff now. Can you list it all out for me? I still have twenty points to play with, so niche options could be worth it...
