There are only two sure things in life: death and taxes and lists and poor arithmetic and overlong jokes and poor memory and probably a few more things.

Joseph drank the delicately flavored soup alongside the city's elite. He had a sense of power, given both by his company and choice of nourishment. But also of danger. These were men and women of carefully crafted reputations. They protected their own positions while exposing the faults of others, they placed extreme emphasis on propriety, and they would do whatever was necessary with the same cool emotionless gaze as the predators they dined upon.

Tonight's festivities were being held in the dining hall of the Mage's Guild. Tables had been moved to make room for dancing, there was an open bar with vintages half as old as the Valley, and music emanated from a small ensemble at the edge of the dance floor. Guests were waited on by fledgling Guild members, who presently swept out en force to exchange empty soup bowls for trays of desserts, mostly pastries with cherry, strawberry, or apple fillings. The real variety came from the herbs, imported from Paludan. Any number of options were available, and choice mattered in more than just flavor. Not only could the herbs impact the health of those than consumed them, they also gave a show to other guests of the character of the consumer. Some were dangerous if prepared incorrectly, eaten only by the brave. Others had sweet tastes but painful aftereffects, eaten by those for whom immediate gratification outweighed tomorrow's well-being. There were bland herbs for the stoics, regenerative for those with falling health, and spicy for those with the will to ensure it.


What dessert do you take? ((Either describe an herb and see what trait I give or describe a trait and I'll give you an herb. Or do both yourself. Only one significant trait, others can be gained later.))

WE should consume a herb that is dangerous, proving our iron will, bravery (and stupidity). Preferably one that might instantly kill us, but which shall give us helluva high when we consume it. Is this a good choice? I have no idea.

Joseph's indecision was beginning to confuse the other guests at his table...

After some thought Joseph grabbed a pastry which consisted of a square of flaky pastry with a half of a strawberry in the middle and a bright green herb dusted over it. The herb was called Nurse's Ivy, named for the fact that it was popular among individuals caring for the sick. It enhanced an individual's empathy, making them feel more acutely the suffering of others. It helped prevent those who watched patients die from getting jaded and losing connection with future patients. His choice was noted by those around him, and while he saw a number of appreciative looks he could also tell others had marked this as a weakness, and were likely deciding how to exploit it.

They weren't given much time to scheme. The desserts were quickly consumed and the music switched styles, indicating it was time to dance. Couples young and old hit the floor first, leaving single men and women to drift among each other in search of a partner. Joseph was admiring the flow of the dancers around the floor, their grace and elegance, when he was approached by an older woman. She explained her husband had passed, but they had loved to dance. Joseph had noted her being rejected by others earlier, and he felt her loss and loneliness as though it were his own. He walked her out to the floor, and they kept each other company to avoid the pangs of her sadness.


Character Trait Gained: Selfless ((Increased chance of Events related to helping others, to be explained later.))

Did you step on her feet? ((Pick a skill, which will give a bonus to related actions.))

No toe-stepping here, no sirree. How about the (not-so-)simple skill of Emotional Manipulation?

-1. We already have a sister game for that, no thanks.
