A young transgender girl (as in pre-transition MtF) was in her apartment, having read the chapter on her way to work and having her interest peaked. (For the purposes of privacy, her true name in this thread shall be merely listed as "B.A"). Similar to Lost, B.A didn't believe such a tale to be reality: Magic was fantasy being the main point. But she decided to entertain the possibility and thought over her options, she didn't want herself (her self-insert?) to be mentally warped or something... Although, at least before Flora became Frey@, she did do a lot of nifty animalistic changes; which did peak B.A's interest, alongside Frey@'s biomechanical change into such a divine cyborg pushing a lot of buttons for the ace girl. There was a big issue though, one that she had encountered for the last week on a forum... What does she do?
B.A doesn't trust herself to write other people. But she'd must to avoid a Reality Restructuring Event- Well, to ensure the story leads to a better fate than the world being reshaped, or for better or worse, to ensure the story continues. But she can't change herself nor affect her friends, plus, her thoughts on the train to work were very... Fanficky, to say the least. Both in tropes and the concern of steering too close to pre-existing media.
So B.A was there, tapping her fingers on a wireless keyboard and her feet on the floor, thinking. As she had learned from a cartoon (and her own life), this can't be as easy as saying, "Frey@ was benevolent now", that would be boring and there's a lot of room for 'benevolence'. It was very likely that Frey@ already saw herself as the hero of this thread and seeing it would be 'perfect' if she had her way. So that wouldn't work. After reading Freya@'s Domain she had a new thought that immediately went out of the window, making Frey@ not care about things would just make it worse and potentially turn Frey@ into a Maximizer of some kind with even less worry for those not her; but maybe B.A can make her not care about her specifically... "But I need a safeguard, even if she doesn't care about me all too much... There's still a chance of her getting me. Well, my self-insert. And shutting her off would just be cruel."
Then as a synthwave soundtrack swelled, B.A perked up as she got to work. "Man, I feel like Alan Wake right now,"

Frey@. The recently reactivated cybernetic goddess stood there. Even in such a low-powered state, having attempted to lure in some lowly fools, found her mind drifting. It has been so long, and seeing how her gifts her squandered or even just deactivated, was it truly worth continuing to meddle with these lives for her perfect world? She had been the one to re-enable the spell and have it spread within such a melting pot of ideas, only for it all to end here. At least, seemingly end here, with her alone in this grand domain of hers. Mono out there hopefully recovering power for Frey@, despite how long it has been...
Wait. Where were these thoughts coming from? They were far more melodramatic and full of despair. Which ironically sparked hope in the former Wert. This means the plan worked. Someone was writing changes here, and in an apparent effort to dissuade Frey@ from acting any further. From achieving her perfect world- THE perfect world!
Only a matter of time then for this newcomer to post and see what she can do to them...

B.A looked at what she had wrote in mild surprise, this was where the story should go... But it was escaping her. The words were being typed by her, without any outside influence or anything (that'd be insane), but they were in the opposite direction- At least later on, than what she had intended. And it looks like, unless if B.A can... Break Rule 3. (She shakes her head at that thought, sighing in resignation.) It looks like Frey@ will be able to do whatever to B.A.
Unless if B.A were to make herself a blindspot or something. But despite everything, despite her growing fear as she neared the point where she felt like she should post it... "That'd be boring, I want to be TFed. But I don't want to become a bimbo or get big boobs or become something mystical and magical or something. But my life is at stake- Well, my self-insert is at stake, which feels oddly... Painful."
"Must be bleed." She said, before putting down the options and wincing. Her 'clever' try at preserving herself backfiring, and by her own hand too!
B.A soon sighing with, "Ready, fight."
