How Did They Exploit the Cracks
Velle: “Winsome and Zsofia’s Cræft is Games. Theirs is a rare House not only in that it comprises just two Cræfters, but also in that they share the same Vocation. They created a Game that was so subtle and expressive in its play, and that Y and Nolle got so accustomed to, so second-nature at, that their subconscious motivation-cracks could be expressed, and expanded, through playing it. Without them thinking about it at all. It also needed to be compelling enough on the surface that Y and Nolle would consciously wish to continue playing it. The Game, played by the four every afternoon, became a conduit for their subliminal instructions as to how to amend the Contract. It became a collaboration between the Game Cræfters’ strongest conscious efforts and our Housemates’ subtlest hidden wishes.”
Anise: “How can you tell me all this? Aren’t you bound to want to further Säve’s Theory?”
Velle: “I do want it. But thankfully I can still tell Stories.”
