Really the entire point of me doing a Twine layout that incorporated mouseover tooltips was that it's very easy for me to get lost/overwhelmed when there are lots of hypertext asides even though I love to read them, and I was thinking about how to work with that. I like that tooltips give the effect--you have to recognize that the interactive element is there and choose to interact with it--without taking you entirely off the page. My POV character (Batman) was also someone who tends to have a lot of thoughts Going On At Once and stuff he's compartmentalized so I liked the idea that following a link in the text was a bigger commitment--either to think more deeply about something or to follow a train of thought far away from its origin and into potentially weird territory.
