Just happy enough that you actually read my comment. I would love to support your work if you would allow. Patreon our some other source.
āDo you still have your powers?ā The question surprises you, and for a moment youāre not sure what to say.
Making up a lie that you have lost them seems as unlikely and risky as admitting that you still do. Ortega believes you are a Boost, someone who took the hero drug and lucked out with a spin on the wheel of fate. If you impliedā¦
I was re-reading the game (Iām practically addicted to it now) and thought that it was a very weird question since It seem like a boost losing their power never happened before, why would Ortega even ask if It was the case?
I think it was a way of opening the conversation into helping lady argent. Plus she thought you had died so she could reasonably expect anything to happen.
Yeah I may have just over thought it as a question instead of just as a conversation opener, Still think it a weird thing to say, like opening a conversation about juggling with āā you still have arms, right?āā
Perhaps it was more about whether you are still practiced enough to be helpful? Our powers seem to get stronger with use, like a muscle. If we really had avoided using them for all these years theoretically our powers could have atrophied to the point of being unable to help even if we wanted.
Maybe, It still feel like a kinda akward way to voice it + the fact our character seem to take the question seriously (as if Ortega is really asking if we still have power) seem to show that the question was really about if we still have power for me.
I personally like being able to choose body type.
If only so people can grope my bulging biceps as they swoon. āYour muscles are so big!ā
It makes the character feel like theyāre actually my character. Because I, also, have bulging biceps. [coughs]
if i had to choose body type, Iāll have massive boobs lol, cause I have such in real life. I can just imagine someone mentioning in the game something like āDamn girl! Are those ballons real?ā
As much as I like the extra attention to detail body type would provide, itād be more a bonus. If the writer can make the time and if its integrated well and not something tacked on, Iād love a petite Cynthia, but if not my imagination will more than suffice.
ā¦What? Iām petite, I like bigger women. Shushit.
Its why i like Ortega, sheās got like three of the things i love in a woman. Older, possibly bigger than me and badass. Sheās definitely all three to Cyrus.
I choose body type, average. Because Iām average.
Itās a bit awkward, but I just figured Ortega didnāt know how to segue into asking for help. Itās kind of a dumb question, but considering how often I ask similar sorts of questions, I wonāt fault Ortega for that one. Honestly, the MCās panicky inner dialogue afterward is more interesting.
Hoo boy am I loving this! I canāt wait for the next update! I did notice a pronoun error late into the script where talking about Ortega. The script says āhisā regardless of whether Ortega is a man or woman.
I created an account in large part to say how much I enjoy this story, itās well written, well paced and manages to have a good amount of detail without being bogged down in minutia.
The ethos and pathos of the PC come across strongly and allowed me to really slip into the skin of my character, which is the strongest praise I can think of for a CYOA PC. There were a couple of pronoun errors that have been pointed out but other than that I didnāt see much in the way of errors that jumped out at me.
I encourage you to keep chugging away,and Iāll eagerly look forward to purchasing this and recommending it to all my fellow COG/CYOA junkie friends.
Best wishes.
@malinryden, will there ever be a scene where we actually perform our method for gaining money spoiler[/spoiler] with our power? Seems like a really small part of the game, but if the PC had to save up for an awesome Ironman suit using only one of these methods, it seems like heād have to do so fairly often over a long period of time
Posses body of Corrupt rich person go into brain find account passwords take half of money from accounts dig a hole in ground put money in go to news declare crimes rich person commented leave body dig up hole o money rinse repeat until desired amount
Would still be interesting to see in the game. Maybe something doesnāt go according to plan in the middle of the operation?
@malinryden
You keep telling yourself that you have no choice, because you really canāt think of any. Or reasons, for that matter. Maybe they are to blame for that as well, they tried to make you into aweapon and thatās what you have becone.

You realized what was happening before it did, averting your eyes a moment before the scream started as abruptly as it was silenced. You remember the smell, and you remember the thud of the body falling to the ground.
Youād like to think you didnāt scream, but if you didnāt, what would have made Ortega and Steel double back?
Anathema scream could have been heard.
Youāre in the wrong body to keep smiling at him like this,
her, in my case
āWhy are you asking?ā You wish you didnāt actually feel real emotions at her question. Guilt. Excitement. Thereās never one or the other around him, thereās always a painful mix.

The taste of vomit in your mouth fades to bubblegum pink, and you open your eyes and realize he needs glasses but is either too poor or too vain to get a pair. Not that it matters, he has legs and arms which is all you have need of at the moment.
It feels odd walking down the street as a normal woman where you had fought as a silvery goddess just minutes earlier.
even if my character is a woman she is in the body of a man, is āāIt feels odd walking down the street as a normal manāā better in this situation?
Of course it wonāt remain hovering like this forever, you canāt risk building any permanent structures in here. But, it should last for a couple of weeks at east, if not longerā¦

on another topic, I wonder what Rosie power is.
I know weāre not supposed to necro, but Imgur decided to hit me in the feels today and it reminded me of this WIP.
Hereās hoping things are going well for you, @malinryden!!!
I just wanted to ask If there are any updates/progress happening here?. I kinda miss Ortega.
