Wonder Wink
Winking can have different meanings in different contexts; a casual greeting, an indicator of a shared inside knowledge, a disavowal of a spoken statement, etc. With this perk, any time you use the gesture of closing one eye for any of the usual purposes, your intended meaning will never be misinterpreted.

Lapel Manicure
You get all the benefits of a professional manicure simply by breathing on your fingernails and buffing them on your torso garment. Each hand requires a Ready manouever.

Hobo's Ambition
Treat this perk exactly like Doodad, except instead of providing variable items it provides exclusively a ten-dollar bill.

Finger Gavel
With this perk, tapping your fingers at a service counter will compel an NPC staff member to immediately approach you and ask "Can I help you". However, their Reaction roll to you will be at -1 as will any Influence skill you attempt on them.

Amorphous Backstory

Between adventures, you may trade traits that are considered "background traits" (GM's prerogative; consider social traits and skills like hobbies and area knowledge) for traits of equal value. For example, you could trade a point in Area Knowledge (Seattle) for a different Area Knowledge, a Hobby Skill, a Contact, or to buy off a background disadvantage. In exchange for this difficult to change modular ability, the GM can make changes to your "background traits" at will.

Wordle Wizard
Whenever you compare a day's Wordle result with anyone you will have gotten it in one less than them. Except, if they got it in one, you will also have done so.

Concert Coincidence
Pick a genre of music. Any time someone mentions a live performance in that genre, if it occurred during your adult lifetime, you will have been at it unless it conflicts with something specific in your character's history.

Others are at -1 to spot or notice you in a crowd as long as you wear a hoodie.
