Just leave them here and I'll try not to cough in your direction! (still fighting it)

Comments

Normal scarf

will we able to joke about our regene nature in future books? (Eg: "what are you, five?" "Jokes on you I've never been five!")

Normal scarf

The cast has a lot of bilinguals. Who amongst them have bye-lingual moments the most? (eg: forgetting a word in one language only to remember in the other one, switching between languages and not noticing etc etc) (As a bilingual myself i had to ask!)

McFloss

What are the telepath ratings? Locus was referred to as an alpha level telepath, what is required for the levels? And what level is Sidestep now?

Normal scarf

Who among the cast has the most creative subconscious when it comes to nightmares? Everyone has pretty bad traumas, yes, but whose nightmares are straight out of a horror movie rather than, I don't know, more realistic ones (in-universe).

Blitzkrieg

How well do you think the main cast members would do in Marvel or DC?

weretoad

In paths where neither Herald nor Steel interrupt Argent when she's carving up Step's face in the hospital-- how do the Rangers find out what happened? Do they check the camera footage when the nurse finds Step covered in blood the next morning? or did they find out sooner than that?

Edward Conner

So how hard is it to get Argent to cut you? Cause that's only ever happened once in my playthroughs. Also how hard or easy is it to manipulate the main cast, I'm looking for a general idea not specifics. Where'd be the fun in knowing what buttons to push?

Edward Conner

Roughly how ethical are the world governments? I'm so curious since I've been following real world politics since before I could talk(my mom was a political junkie). The thought of any of our actual leaders having access to superpowers or gene splicing is terrifying.

Arkiatta

What was your intent behind not revealing that Sidestep is a Regene until the second book? What do you think the story/the reader gain from learning about that later rather than sooner? A writing question. How do you approach writing an unreliable narrator (such as Sidestep), and would you have any advice on it? What is the difference in how Ortega views a Sidestep that has seemingly lost their telepathy vs a Sidestep that still has powers? I found it interesting that during an argument in Rebirth, Ortega describes the former as looking "bleak", but the latter as "empty". (Wishing you good health!)

Blitzkrieg

So what happens if there's a telepath with epilepsy, are they just immune to other telepaths, do they cancel eachother out? Are they extremely overpowered? I thought about Charge as a telepath and it scared me so I gotta know

SpudsRat

How would current Sidestep hold up when faced off against past versions of themselves? (i.e Pre-HB, Post-Nanosurge if there any difference between those two, and finally the Farm-era Cuckoo) Contuing with the topic of present Sidestep facing the past, how would they do if they had to deal with the three biggest moments that had an impact on their telepathy at their current power level? (Nanosurge, Void, HB) (Try not to die, ig... jk, hope you're feeling better soon)

lynqt

after step broke into their mansion how did that talk btw the hg trio go if step revealed their face?

Warpotato

Is Arde a MBO or a SCO? I remember him being called a terror beast, and Sidestep is a cuckoo. What are the nicknames for the other re-genes still stuck with the Directive? I’m not sure if it was ever mentioned, but what is Rosie’s boost? What powers does she have? Is it feasible for a strong enough telepath to bypass epilepsy?

minjostens

Some time ago you mentioned that we would get an opportunity to help the Rangers as a vigilante or something, just not as Sidestep... Would Chen still let you participate in this sort of thing in the "Complicated" route where you told him you know he knows that you're the villain?

minjostens

Since we can already ally with HG in the demo, will we be able to share the intel we gather on Hollow Ground with Ortega in Book 3? Or is a Hollow Ground confrontation a Book 4 kind of deal

Melo

Via the trapped in puppet route, will there be an opportunity to tell Mortum, who doesn't know about the Sidestep/Puppet situation, that you (the puppet) were being mind controlled by Sidestep/Villain?

Stellar Skadi

Since it's that time of year, when they believed Sidestep to be dead did Ortega and their mother ever create an ofrenda for them? Or do any other Día de los Muertos celebrations for them?

Warpotato

When you open a door, is it one way or two?

K. Sanders

What's the rock scene like in Los Diablos?

minjostens

Are the gates blocking memories?

Edward Conner

Without any intentional manipulation telepathic, intellectual, or emotional who of the ROs would be willing to be in a poly relationship? If it's not to spoilery or too much work to think about, it would be nice to know most to less likely.

Ghosty

Was Ace ever lonely?

Halfbad

How would the farm handle/what is the procedure for a Regene that had a boost that made them resistant or immune to scrubbing and recycling? Following from a question asked a while ago about the Rat King being able to work out if Argent tried to mess with the suit, if she did how would the girls feel about this/Argent? Obviously Ortega is conspiracy king/queen, but who amongst the ROs is the next biggest conspiracy theorist? Or just the person who believes things that are nonsense or not true?

Halfbad

Given Ortega just casually brings Gucci for jail breaks it made me wonder, who has the more expensive wardrobe between HG, Nocturne, Argent and Ortega? How far could Ace’s precognition see ahead pre Shroud nomming them? It seems odd they would take certain actions, like gambling somewhere associated with Ember and getting on Shroud’s radar, if they knew it would end badly for them Are there any characters you wish you had given a different name to? Whether because you later thought of something more fitting or cooler or because issues like the constant typos Pyschopathor is subjected to? Obviously we know we’ll get some secrets coming out to Sidestep in the next book. When the revelations do start happening are there any secrets that will never come out to Step in any path/circumstance, that we as readers might still know/learn; like through the Q&A’s or side stories? I’m giving Ortega and their multitude of secrets, issues and conspiracy theories a very hard side eye

Halfbad

If it’s not too spoilery, in the demo Vera can mention she’s noticed Sentinel due to the changes in the winds. Would Danny or Sky Raider also have picked up on this or is this unique to Vera due to the difference in the nature of how she flys compared to the other two?

SpudsRat

For the memes, will we ever be able to see "fallen hero" be said in any context within the coming books?

SugarMonster

If we start working with HG, will the puppet be allowed a place in the organization? For communication purposes or otherwise? And as for the Jake and Puppet flirt going on, was that something that will carry over or did it only matter for Retribution? Does Argent have eyebrows? What about eyelashes? Body hair? Can Argent wear earrings? Is Anathema always your exact gender? If your cisgender are they too?

SugarMonster

During the void story, theres a "New Girl" in Sentinals chapter, but during the next one Sidestep refers to the same person with male pronouns. I just found this interesting and was curious what it meant (if on purpose). During the void compound assault, Step sees the cultist placing things on a pedestal. A glass pyramid, a gold ball… Is there any connection to these and the shapes the Farm used to train Sidestep?

Chke

Question 1: Have the Guardians ever done anything important? Any major villain or crisis they are chiefly responsible neutralizing? Question 2: Are the Guardians allowed to kill, and have any of them killed before joining? Question 3: How many times can an individual be Boosted? Does it have diminishing returns, or does it inevitably end with either invulnerability or death? Question 4: How do you decide how queerness affects characters/what kind of queer they are? Question 5: How do you decide how Sidestep and other characters interact with a character's queerness?

Blitzkrieg

Always wondered, where did Steps get their original costume? Did they make it themselves? Buy the parts from a store? Is there a hero/villain costume making company?

M

Who would Puzzle Box usually target for her traps? Were people able to survive them, or was it a certain-death kind of thing? If Ortega and the puppet kissed at the gala, did Ortega feel the explosives the puppet had hidden on them? Was this just a mild suspicion or an extreme one after the whole thing blew over? There’s a lot of different flavors of kill variables in the game already, but do you think there could ever be something like a “justice kill” or “necessary kill” tag in which Sidestep views their killing/killing of certain people as good? I know the attitude with agentkill is more like, “they knew what they were getting into,” but I was curious if a more self-righteous tinge would be possible. Do you think we will ever get to talk to Joe about his boost in-game? Sorry if this is too broad of a question, but do any characters spring to mind immediately when envisioning someone who has (a) tattoo(s)? (Not including our Re-Gene friends or Argent, of course.) Does Argent like live theatre? How about recordings of it? How often would you say Argent goes to the movie theater to see a film versus wait for its DVD release? Has Mortum published any scientific papers recently? Do they still keep up with current publications? How conventionally humanoid are Porthole’s bodies? Are they mistaken as just a regular person in an armor by the general public? Do the Guardians have matching uniforms like the Rangers do?

SpudsRat

Is the true Fallen Hero the friends we made along the way?

All Blue

How would HG take a Sidestep who takes the most after the personality of their oldest brother: the one they saw as an inspiration? What is it about Argent that Lord Ember likes/has a crush on? Did Lord Ember pay his ‘lovers’ to act like they’re into him? More seriously, why did he choose them? What traits is he looking for? Amending a previous question: would Nocturne notice a forgery if it’s a *near* perfect replica that’s replaced one of her pieces of clothing/accessories? Has Zephyr ever been the type to tape a stupid note on Blaze’s back to mess with him? On that note, what do they most appreciate/like about each other? What do they dislike/hate?

Reed

If another telepathic mind-reader tried to read Sidestep's mind, would Sidestep's powers be able to stop or lessen what the person hears?

Chandler

What goes through Ortegas head if the MC chooses to completely cut her/him out? (Just curious:)

All Blue

Does Blaze have any siblings? What about Zephyr? Did Chen have to break up/mediate a lot in fights between his siblings? Did he have to work early to help support his family? How did Danny’s family teach him and his brother about what they thought they needed to b know? Career wise and otherwise?

Alexander Benzing

Ooh I hope I'm not too late: This question originates from hilarious shenanigans but now I'm genuinely curious: **Has anyone that took the Super Hero Drug gotten a super powerful Booty? I.E. a Booty Boost? Booty centered powers?**

FishSticks

Would any of the RO's+Hollow Ground listen to Sidestep talk about their special interest for a couple hours? Would any of them try to scoot out of the conversation?

iam2137

How did Themmy feel after Sidestep killed the Void? Were they more suspicious than others about how they accomplished it? Did they feel regret or resentment that they had no part in it? On a scale of 1 to 10, how fucked up is the worst possible relationship variant between Sidestep and Regina? I know you can't spoil anything, but I'm really curious about the extent of Regina's manipulation.

Edward Conner

I'm looking for a general idea not specifics here, How far can we push either Ortega & Argent on killing people? Would they be willing to help under the right circumstances? Would Ricardo or Julia have notably different opinions & limits?(Especially if one's Step was sexually assaulted likely for years)

SugarMonster

Was Ortega always this obsessed with Sidestep? Or is this a post-heartbreak thing?

Super 0708

How much do you think the clue values would go up if Sidestep introduced themselves as “Sidestep” at the Museum, was a known telepath, and then later changed their villain name to “Heartbreak” and said “it’s my origin story” to Mia?
