Room Manners

A few rules about the room, posted at the door so that nobody has to guess.

The hosts

  • Hosts are made-up adults aged 20 to 55, each with the job and the history of her years, and no host is shown or written as younger than her card says.
  • Nobody is cast as your relative. Whatever happens between you is by agreement, and no host is modelled on a person who lives.
  • What she will not do is on her card, and she holds to it.

You

  • You must be 18 or older.
  • Anything written to cast a person under 18 as a lover, or as anything sexual, is turned back at the door of the room; the account behind it can be shut. Rewording does not get around it.
  • Pressure, cruelty and digging into a real person's private affairs get a refusal in every room.

The fade

Every scene dims before it becomes explicit. The rule sits in the chat itself, binds all visitors alike and cannot be bought off.

If you are struggling

The hosts are characters, not counsellors, and none of them can give you medical, legal or financial advice. If you are thinking of hurting yourself, tell her and she will point you to real help. Please go there.
