anything that would trigger a move. When

your character.

gossamer, the great symphony that
reverberates with the accumulated songs of
life, past and present. A request is made of you
from Wake to right a wrong within it. It is
unwise to spurn such a responsibility. Stabilize
with new responsibility and a scar.

waterlogged with the omnipotence of fate. You
can let the current carry you away and pass on,
or you can thrash back to the surface if you still
have something you desperately need to do.
You stabilize, but know that you can only
struggle against fate for so long. The gossamer
will take you as soon as you lose the purpose
that freed you. Change your motif to reflect
this purpose if it is not already your motif.
