I'd say the trick is to pick a character that is virtually immortal (a
god, demon or the Anime Battle Angel Alita/Gally). That way you get off
the hook of instant death or any death at all. I'd suppose that the
devil would have some rule against this, though, wouldn't he. I wonder
if I could see the fine print on the agreement?

	No fine print.  The entire text of the agreement, including all
guarantees, is contained in the post.  Of course, it's the guarantees that
it doesn't contain that should worry you.

	Please note that you *don't* become an anime character, you get to
hang around with one.  While this endows you with certain advantages of the
form, you don't gain any additional power by this agreement.  The scenario
*might* bring that about ... certainly almost all Oh My Goddess SIs gain
dramatic increases in power ... but it also might not.

	In case anyone's curious, the poll currently stands at four noes,
zero yeses, and one inane response.

Chris Davies.
(Expected more inane responses, frankly.)
