Stephanie is getting ready to leave Lexi alone for a couple weeks. Lexi is due for a trade. So let's decide what that will be.

I'm adding two new options into the mix.

"Lexi should delay her next trade""Lexi should stop taking new trades"

Basically as we got deeper with Steph's trades there wasn't aways a notable change in our girl, and maybe 14 trades were too many. Especially with some trades bleeding over into extra traits, and come trades cutting off others. So I wanted to give the option for Lexi's trades to finish before hitting 14.

As always, welcome to share your thoughts on this below.

The fandoms sound nice. I am always a fan of trades that don't end up all nice and taking away something you like is cool, especially as so far Lexi enjoyed all of her trades more or less. Though I may suggest to not trade the interest, but the skill. So she still has interest in gaming, but looses every bit of skill in this. Being overwhelmed by how fast even the simplest games are that go beyond "Farmville". Instead she gets a skill in something like crocheting or embroidery. Something she still think is boring, but her muscle memory makes her pick it up again and again nonetheless. If the "job change" wins, I vote for Barber as the new occupation ^^

I think that is a fun suggestion that seems entirely inline. I'll consider it.

What I like on this is, that is not such a deep change of personality. If you just like something new quickly gets to "oh well now I have fun with this. I still have fun... let's move on". But changing just the skill and eventually add an urge to sew or something, that keeps the personality the same, but requires actual adapting. Actual thinking about how to adapt yourself to the new situation. And (which is a theme in this comic imo) forces you to think about consequences... About good, bad and just different. Especially as Lexi actually wanted to become a woman, this may spice things up when at some point she may have to consider staying a woman and leaving gaming behind or getting this back but becoming a man again.

What job skills does Lexi have currently?

We haven't seen her go tomwork. But she works in IT
