Alrighty, sorry for being a lot less online and on the discord than I usually am, but between summer family travels and massive amounts of rain leading to a small flood and water damage in our house (have had to move so much stuff, and deal with the insurance company, ugh) I've been all out of social interactions.

Thank you so much for your support, and hopefully things will calm down soon. Got another project coming out in a few weeks too, and once that is done that will free up more time to finally finish the Rebirth update. And the puppet demo is coming, but more and more paths are getting dragged in there so it keeps growing wide rather than long!

Alright, please ask away, whatever strikes your fancy! (just remember I am unlikely to spoil what will happen in Revelations)

Question 1: Does Jake have insecurities about sleeping his way to the top? Question 2: If someone had the power to completely seperate parts from people, for example from targeted teleportation, would Anathema be effected? If she is would she survive, like if she was cut in half would both halves be fine? If she did survive would it be possible to put her back together? Question 3: Does familiarity with Sidestep effect how susceptible someone is to their notice me not invisibility? Question 4: Is one of the threads Nocturne requested something along the lines of "You are okay with people being hurt or killed to accomplish your goals"? Question 5: Does Nocturne keep a list of all her requested threads and a schedule for when they need to be renewed? Question 6: How well would Sidestep be able to navigate using only telepathy? Question 7: How well is Sidestep able to parse esoteric powered senses when reading minds? If someone had shrimp vision or could taste emotions what would that be like for Sidestep? Question 8: For trans Sidestep will there be an option to choose whether HG refers to them as brother/sister based on their agab or brother/sister/sibling based on their current gender? Question 9: Is there anyone HG has a relationship with where they aren't influencing them? Question 10: In hypothetical books where other characters are the main protagonist in which ones is Sidestep the deuteragonist, in which ones are they an antagonist, and in which ones are they just a supporting character? Question 11: Is Catfiend the tyoe of invincible villain who is desperate for a good challenge? Question 12: Is Catfiend aware of the mysterious threat Sidestep is preparing for? Question 13: Would a heavily modded individual have better chances of surviving a boosting that works normally kill someone? Question 14: Is Argent tempering her expectations for the regenerator?

Will rat king always be with sidestep whatever happened？

Can we make body for rats king

How did Daniel react to learning of Sidestep's apparent death? Was he inconsolable, fall into a deep depression, motivated more than ever to become a hero, or some other reaction? What are Five Pennies powers? What exactly happened during the incident where he killed a protestor? Was Anathema immune to the nanosurge, or were the nanovores able to overcome even their Invulnerability? Who was responsible for the Nanosurge, and what had they been expecting to happen before it got out of control? And most important of all: has Daniel ever rescued a cat from a tree?

weretoad

For injured Sidesteps that are stuck in their base after the escape from Rangers HQ, would the RatKing (theoretically) be capable of piloting the suit to help care for Sidestep (at least for things that don't require a high degree of fine motor control)?

All Blue

How did Deadeye come to be a sniper? Does Argent consider what she ‘does’ with the vores to be cannibalism? Does Jake sincerely believe in myths such as aswangs and mananaggals? Is he creeped out by supposedly haunted places? What about the Heartbreak site? How does he feel about banyan trees? What do Nocturne and HG think of his superstitious nature? Considering their affinity for eating, would the nanovores enjoy it if we doodled little drawings onto Argent’s skin? Hypothetically: what about when she’s asleep? I know it’s strictly not allowed by her, but: Would doing so risk a breakdown of cohesion between her and them? Would carbonisation via intense, concentrated fire from a flame thrower overpower the Catfiend’s regeneration? Or would whatever’s been burned eventually grow back? You mentioned before that Jake finds power sexy. How does that appeal translate to the bedroom? Does he like having that power over him be translated in similar position in bed? 👀 Or the other way around- does he like having power over it? If Sidestep has a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate), would the Rangers respect it? Or would *some* people (Ortega, Herald) try to revive them? 👀 From the previous QnA, HG doesn’t seem to take kindly to Lord Ember even having a *crush* on Sidestep… surely it’s fairly harmless? Or does Lord Ember have a track record for being dangerous to crushes/lovers? You mentioned before that Bo isn’t exactly thrilled to be roped into an ambitious Mob Boss’s plans. Do the henches have any preference for what kind of career path they’d be more happy to work for? Does Blaze ever use his powers to light a cigarette? Or is it not precise enough to do that? Does he smoke? Or is it just the sweet vice for him?

All Blue

How good is Skybright at in arm wrestling challenges? Given how strong her boost is, is she physically strong as well? Or is she reliant on her telekinesis? How durable and strong was Cavalier? Would bullets hurt him? Bombs? Does he have any drug resistances if someone wanted to knock him out? Could he be shoved by an average person? Considering Seattle holds itself to the highest moral standards compared to other states, would they take in runaway Re-Genes seeking sanctuary/safety from the Farm? Or would their backgrounds bar them from ever entering + get them arrested/killed? How are valuable Re-Genes treated? Do they get extra perks for consistently doing good jobs? Experimented on (or tortured) more often to possibly induce greater power? What about Re-Genes who don’t contribute much to the Farm? What are their odds of getting scrubbed/killed? Based on the previous QnA about Blaze having no leg to stand on when people like Ortega more than him, after he claimed he didn’t get into the hero business to be liked… how would he react? Would he ignore those words, or think them over? Considering the food fed to Re-Genes, does the Farm breed/keep animals on-site to make into food? Or do they get the meat from cities and transport it back? Can Zephyr be genuinely selfless? Or is their only concern being money and recognition/attention? If the Farm wants to look for runaway Re-Genes, why not station some of their staff at hospitals for deep covers? Even if a Re-Gene managed to unfailingly evade being sent to one, there are still valuable medical records and ‘samples’ their spies would be privy to, making for good resources to send back. Would HG and Nocturne eventually tell Jake the truth on their own? Or would they need outside influence to do it? (Say… Sidestep) Can Blaze cook? If he does, what sort of cuisines does he do? Or is he more of a takeout guy? I’ve seen some people claiming it, but is it true that part of the reason Blaze hates Julia is because she turned him down? Or is he used to having flirtations turned down (Argent) to not really hold it against her? If released, is there anything stopping the Catastrofiend from barging into HG’s turf to devour everyone, including their own people? There *is* a lot of tasty people who tend to gather on their territory… 👀 How did Tina and Teddy get married? They’re both criminals. What’s the process there to getting hitched?? Who proposed?

All Blue

How did the HG trio react to reading the Catfiend’s Mitchell profile? 💞 Is Tina tech savvy? Compared to being the LBH leader and being the captain of the Guardians, what would you say Blaze’s favourite things about either position is? What about his least favourite? Speaking of Blaze: is it still safe for him to surf when he has a bad leg? Is Zephyr at all happy about being the better surfer if so? Or are they miffed they didn’t beat him by their own merits? If Argent gets sleepy, does the cohesion/connection between her and the vores weaken, and risk ‘accidents’? How does she deal with tired days?

FishSticks

Does Chen know he has the WORST taste in people? Esp when it comes to a romance Sidestep? Like really? The Rat of Los Diablos? Why??? Who initiated the relationship between Blaze and Steel? And am I reading it wrong that Blaze still has lingering feelings? Also on Chen's romantic life, I think you said he never had anything serious after Soo Park. Does he feel that Sidestep is more like those last relationships? Or something finally serious? Will Dr Mortum know that Step is a ReGene after kidnapping them if they help bust the puppet out? Or can that still be a kept secret? If Sidestep used sign language more than actual speaking, would any of them have learnt it for them? Would Chen have difficulty due to his hands not having that kind of dexterity? More for my own amusement, how would they (ROs) take it if a tall step put things on the top shelf after fights? Just to be a dick Why did Jake call a short step, yknow, short at the meeting? Like throwing rocks while inside a glass house after getting your ass handed to you after the auction .

Ashlyn

Ortega picks up on step’s secret crush at some point, but when did they start to notice? Was it anything particular that Step did like getting annoyed and jealous when they flirt with the waiter at Hoots? If we’re soft with Argent and staying at Ortega’s after the crash, has she noticed Step’s secret crush yet? If you choose rival Ortega in rebirth, you get a hefty relationship drop but not in retribution, what’s the logic there? If you date Argent in part 4 and have a secret crush on Ortega they’ll ask if you want to hang out instead. Was this Ortega trying to get close to Step before anything serious could happen with Argent while they still had the chance or something else? Because they don’t do it if you try to hang out with Herald or Steel. Did Argent make up a fake birthdate as part of her cover story? Is Step that first person who can potentially visit Argent’s apartment? How much older was HG than their younger sib? Did HG and all their sibs share the same father? You mentioned in an earlier QA that Nocturne is the main reason Ortega hasn’t had much success in pursuing HG. What’s her method of choice? What’s Herald biggest regret regarding his career, if he has any? How about Steel? Argent? Danny’s true power seems to be gravity, and it’s being kept from him. Wouldn’t it only benefit him and the Rangers to know that? Has HG ever been as close to someone as Nocturne or was she the first to be let all the way in? You’ve mentioned Ortega would be the RO most interested in step’s tats. I see that being a sore spot for a lot of Steps, can we tell Ortega to back off if they try and push that envelope? Is HG’s aware of Re-Genes or just think they’re an urban legend? How long have Lord Ember and HG been rivals? Is the rivalry between them personal or just business? Does Nocturne have bigger plans than LD? Did Argent go thru TBR at nanosurge? Does Jake think of himself as a self made man or someone who got lucky thru his powers/close connections to HG? Has HG ever gone thru TBR? Has HG ever thought about taking boost drug again since their powers can help them survive? I’m not asking for it as an option, but would HG be willing to thread sibling(ish) step who wanted to get double boosted? Was Anathema the “heart” of the Rangers when they were alive? Was Rat King ever part of a rat colony? If so do they remember it?

Stellar Skadi

1) Is it possible that a Step who uses the regenerator could end up regretting it, and/or still try and confess to being a re-gene? 2) If Ortega knew about the regenerator plan before hand, would they be for or against Step using it? Would they keep their opinion to themselves and let Step decide? 3) Does Ortega still plan to come out as Bi in a straight-passing relationship? 4) Would Ortega immediately come out to a gender-questioning Step who confesses to wanting to be the same gender as Ortega? 5) Similarly, for gender-questioning Steps who still think Ortega is straight, could they be afraid that coming out would be the end of their relationship? 6) Can Argent blinding one of Step's eyes ruin her relationship with any of the other Rangers?

FishSticks

What's your opinion on the hypothesized feathered dinosaurs? And what's your favorite dinosaur?

Halfbad

If Step told Ortega about being friends with the Rat King would they be interested or curious about the relationship between the two telepathic entities, given Ortega seems to have an interest in telepathy in general and because it’s Sidestep related? Or would their response be more along the lines of “I don’t get it but good for you”? We’ve been told a few time the autopsy tapes were pretty traumatic for Steel; was it just because it was seemingly an autopsy on someone he knew or was there something else that made is especially brutal, like the body being treated in a way different to normal autopsies? Is the toxicity of Step’s mind, to other telepaths, a result of their trauma/bad mental state? If so would a Step who heals become less toxic to other telepaths? If it’s not related to their poor mental health did left over effects of their experience with the Void, Nanosurge or Heartbreak contribute to the toxicity? There’s the fan club variable, the Rangers, Blaze, Mia, ect that we can use to gauge how some people feel about Sidestep’s actions; but how do the general public of LD feel/view about anarchist, prepare hero hunter Steps and thief Step’s who give to charity? The way LD works gives me the vibe that people would be very cynical or apathetic but there are smaller communities like Vera’s that are able to see the effect of direct action to help each other. The HB site has been weird and off putting for a while, would there be any way of cleansing/exorcising/fixing (I’m not sure what the most applicable word would be) it?

weretoad

Could you share a random fact about Ben, Vera and Arde?

All Blue

Would Argent like it if we dropped the ‘you like jazz?’ line from the Bee Movie as a really, really bad way of flirting with her? (Platonic or romantic)

Nugget

I am a free-time writer, and I have a very strong dislike for my writing. So I just want to ask you; as someone who has written for a long time, does that feeling ever go away?

All Blue

Referencing a past QnA where the HG trio had stats as if they were Sidestep (Career path, motivation, etc), is Nocturne actually *interested* in justice?? Actual justice, ‘make a fair place for everyone and tyrants/cruel people/etc don’t go unpunished’ justice?

All Blue

Th Farm can manipulate memories… so how would Ortega react if the Farm had cut out Sidestep’s better memories of them so they wouldn’t come to Ortega for help/help see them as a threat, instead of a friend/ally/past love?

John Allen

Do anyone have vampires like power in the world

焼きドーナツ

1、Would Chen's heart override his logic for a romanced step,like forgive him for killing Blaze or some other outrageous thing? 2、Just curious.Why is Chen the only one who can only be romanced by male/trans step?I know he is gay but why，since the other ROs are all open to all gender.

DarkFire

I was wonderering a few things about Anathema and how their invulnerability affected them - can they get sick (common cold or otherwise?) - does their hair still grow and can they cut/style it still? What about facial hair? - for trans/Nb Themmy, would hormones work for them? What about gender confirming surgeries?

SugarMonster

Which of the RO’s have lost the most teeth while fighting?

All Blue

Why *did* Blaze join the Guardians? Easy money? In a previous QnA, Blaze thought that Chen was comparing him to Ricardo during their thing (which was wrong). Chen in return thought he might be more interested in Julia: was he similarly wrong? Does he celebrate pride month?

Remi

How much percent would you say the book is finished?

out of the blue

Was Sidestep influenced/manipulated by Heartbreak the same way that a random, non-telepathic Joe Shmoe would have been during the HB incident? Or did Sidestep’s telepathy allow Heartbreak to connect with Step in a unique way?

All Blue

How does the Handyman feel about Owl’s willingness to kill? Steel’s and Herald’s stance on her makes me wonder.

Cam Allred

Probably been asked a billion times, but is there a tentative release date for Book 3/Revelations?

Remi

Will we learn more about danny's past? Also why was he looking for some kind of recognition when he told us his last name?

Edward Conner

First off, I'm back finally! I have to ask would Jake wear a zoot suit & what are or would be his thoughts on them? For some reason he strikes me as an old-school So-Cal gangster & I can only imagine him wearing really nice zoot suits now. Sort of like the Joker's but way better quality & better kept. On a completely unrelated note can we please tease Argent and mess with her & everyone for that matter more moving forward? I find that people with serious trauma like pretty much any Sidestep tend to vent & deal with things by fucking with people and generally being a troll. Especially when they have severe trust issues & either can't or won't get help from others.

Edward Conner

No spoilers necessary(but desprately wanted) for poly steps just how of much of a cluster fuck can we make our characters' lives? like could we try to convince say Julia, Argent, and Mortum to all go on a date with us at same time? Cause the mere thought of doing so makes laugh like a madman. I'd love to know the chances of actually accomplishing this feat. For instance would we have a better chance of fighting Godzilla? If you've answered this before or if I asked this before then sorry for effectively wasting some of your time

Importer

Does the Rat-King have a natural lifespan or are the brains effectively immortal?

Edward Conner

How would the power players of the FEZ react individually to a no-win scenario? Natural disaster or enemy assault.

Edward Conner

Are the re-gene brands a custom built parasite tailored to each subject?

Sato Nanashi

In terms of Step's vices of sugar, tobacco, alcohol, and caffeine. On a scale which would the Rangers take the most seriously or would it vary?

Ashlyn

You’ve said Ortega punched multiple ppl over sidestep, did Ricardo ever punch a woman? How about Julia?

FishSticks

How would HG react if they slipped up and called Sidestep by their little siblings nickname? How'd they feel if Sidestep actually responded to it without realizing it?

Edward Conner

Can we get a movie marathon with Argent and Ortega? I'm a lifelong moviebuff & would love to see their opinions on a wide variety of movies if possible. I remember you said that fighter Steps would be the best of the main group in hand to hand at least in technique, how would a prime Sidestep vs Steel exhibition go?

Edward Conner

Who among our named cast celebrate Christmas & Thanksgiving? I mean actually participate not go to parties because they'd get shit for not going although that info would be great to. For instance I love Halloween so all October I'm just happier then any other time of year including my birthday.

murkdatthing

Will crashstep use a cane in recovery or is this headcanon territory?

out of the blue

With the Olympics going on, I wondered what Olympic sport/event you might associate with each RO (and HG trio, if you’re so inclined)? Doesn’t necessarily have to be the sport they’d be “best” at, more just a fun question based on ~vibes~

All Blue

If Ortega had one last chance to say everything they ever wanted to say to Sidestep they had a past thing with, and they’d *believe* it (compliments and all), what would they say? What would current!Chen caution past!Chen to do or think, knowing what he does now about Sidestep?

DarkFire

Would any of the ROs (with or without romanced steps blessing) get a tattoo or something to match/show support of steps regene tattoos? Like a little replica of steps barcode or something?

All Blue

Is a blue Re-Gene’s hair affected by the blue tint as well? Or does it look like normal hair?
