This post is
personal perspective and a
request for others' opinions.
This is the standard L.T. screen that I call: "The Post-Mugging Glow".
It occurs immediately after your character is mugged or assaulted by a stranger, then close-quarters negotiation or combat occurs, and finally a sexual interaction concluded with
The Post-Mugging Glow.
As a probable-romantic, the
P-MG has never been a satisfactory conclusion for me--even though it fits with the "combative-hypersexual" character of Dominion. It seems that after all this intense socializing it is an incomplete conclusion and there should be a few extra choices available at this point for the player.
A few
modest ideas for extra buttons:
Talk : It seems that this encounter ended well for the strangers and unless the participants need to hurry along to elsewhere then a bit of relaxing and socializing could extend everyone's well-being.
Introductions : "
By the way, my name is ..." All this passive-aggressive canoodling without proper introductions is, just,
so rude.
Cuddle / Nibble / etc. : The violence and heavy breathing could use a slower dénoument ... non-verbal and "lighter". ("He/She's so like a _____, after 5 or 6 quick-ones he/she's off to the bar to brag with their friends."
)
Cigarettes & Compliments : Baby! THAT was epic!!! Did anyone take notes?
"Continue Animosities" : Okay look, things started off rough but together you found something special. Twisted, but special. How about planning some tense-but-futile negotiations before further rematches?
Sedition : You've just made an ally with experience in sex, violence, and general skulduggery. Perhaps, they know others with similar interests.
So what are
your feelings about the
The Post-Mugging Glow screen? Does anyone else have extra button ideas?
e-d
P.S.: If anyone should actually want to use my ideas for buttons or similar in L.T., then go ahead & then cite me with a "Thank You" in the notes.
edit: Added sedition.
