Between The Lights, Session 7: Tundra

[liquidcitrus]

This is an actual-play writeup of a game I am running on the Jenna Moran fanclub on Discord.

Slip your perception sideways and see the social fabric like those diagrams of star orbits from the Prosaic textbooks. Many collect in stable orbits around single charismatic individuals. Sometimes there are binary systems, or trinary ones; though in the long run these are unstable. Occasionally an Excrucian rogue planet spears through a planetary system, fatally wounding one and disarraying the others. Planetoids, comets, and moons, though almost never relevant, on occasion interfere with others and force themselves to be seen.

There are others of these diagrams that depict gravity as a rubber sheet. It is this frame of reference that most clearly throws into relief the true power of those most charismatic individuals, who warp perception and reality wherever they go.

To conclude this analogy, I can only hope I never see a black hole; for such a thing would fatally distort even me.
