On a 7-9, Nan will accept if you join her circle. (HANGER-ON).

Nan's face flickers with different expressions, different emotions. A flash of rage, a shadow of regret, a glint of curiosity. Her fingers stretch and curl, picking at the air. Then she focuses sharply on your face and begins speaking.

"Do you really love me so much, that you will willingly give yourself to me to spare Susan from my wrath?"

"I do!" you declare.

"Will you join my circle, to help me summon the Mother of Desire every moon?"

"I will!" you say.

"Then I accept you, Peregrine Poesy, body, soul, and spirit, as my disciple in the love of the Great Mother of Desire."

You eagerly turn your face up to hers. Her lips are warm and firm. Her insistent tongue parts your lips and quests inside. That salty thickness on her tongue...Bruno's seed, carrying the Great Mother's boon of revenge against Susan. Given to you, instead, for love. You feel so happy, so proud.

"Where are you rooming?" Nan asks.

"Trevor Harlequin's room," you say.

"Not any more," Nan says. "You'll room with me."

Gain +1 XP (2 XP total) from averting Nan's planned revenge on Susan Quaffle.

You and Nan still have a mutual CHARM on one another. Effects:

• +2 to ENCOUNTER Nan (as if a FRIEND) until you roll a Miss, take another CONSEQUENCE, go to Detention or the Infirmary.
• -1 to all rolls for the CONSEQUENCE "Charmed by Nan". Thoughts of her are a constant distraction.

Nan is now a HANGER-ON for you, constantly in your business. See the HANGER-ON rules: https://chyoa.com/chapter/The-HANGER-ON-who-gets-in-your-way.223291
Effects:

• -1 on all rolls vs. Nan while she's your HANGER-ON (she's a busybody, awkward to deal with, and is apt to press her will on you).
• Move resolution options on a 7-9 result now include "Succeed, then Deal With Nan".
• A complication for a Miss now includes "Fail, then Deal With Nan".

What's your next move?

• Consummate your mutual attraction, if you can succeed through your starry-eyed daze. Go to your room or hers and HAVE SEX: Roll +Diligence (+0) (+2 Diligence, -1 Consequence, -1 Hanger-On). Remember RAPID GENDER CYCLING.
• Go find Susan and have Susan and Nan make up. Roll +Diligence (+1) (+2 Diligence, -1 Consequence) to get Prefect Susan to agree to lay off on Nan. On a success, you may MAKE AMENDS on Nan's behalf: Roll +Bravery (+0) (+1 Bravery, -1 Consequence); on a success, gain +1 XP.
• Move your things into Nan's room. ENCOUNTER her and ask for a FAVOR (since no doubt, you'll need one, as tangled up as you are). Roll +Diligence (+2) (+2 Diligence, +2 Charm, -1 Consequence, -1 Hanger-On) to ENCOUNTER Nan.
• Advance the scene to your initiation. Roll RAPID GENDER CYCLING (-1 for your CONSEQUENCE), since it will be another day after you've slept. Roll +Diligence (+0) (+2, -1, -1) to HAVE SEX with Nan. On a success, make a custom move against Cunning (+1) to awaken your bond to the Great Mother of Desire. On a 7-9, choose one: +1 XP or learn a Forbidden Spell; on a 10+, choose both.
• Something else?

You have 2 XP, a Consequence (Charmed by Nan), an active CHARM (+2 to Encounter Nan), a HANGER-ON (Nan), and have promised to join Nan's circle. You are currently in female form.
