A Sassiverse Adventure

The Gate

What if a boundary could have an opening?

Picture a fence stretching across your trail. Somewhere along it, there's a Gate.

Maybe it has a little window. Maybe there's a bell. Maybe the drawbridge is up and the crocodiles are having a lovely afternoon.

But here's a curious question:

Who gets to decide how your Gate works?

Could it open just a crack? Could someone knock? Could you change your mind tomorrow?

And what if the Gate you need doesn't look anything like the one you've been imagining?

There are some interesting possibilities waiting on the other side of this question.

A Curious Backpack Discovery

There Are Always Ten.

There is a tiny packet in your Backpack. Inside are ten Gate Seeds, each small enough to balance on the tip of your finger.

Take one out. There are still ten.

No one knows why. We have decided not to investigate too aggressively in case the packet notices. 😂

When you need a Gate, take out one seed. Toss it into the world. While it is still in the air, call out the kind of opening, access, or Gate you need.

The seed does not decide what appears. You do.
