The Beanie's burdens: all-biz TRIGSITs, lost sleep, puerile pranks

texture · STANDING, YDAU fall

When: STANDING (the YDAU-fall game-master tenure, narrated within the 8 Nov scene and its endnote).
What: Lord builds each game's baroque apparatus in advance — "Lord's stayed up well past several bedtimes" developing the World Situation — though in Triggering Situations he "shows a bit of an Achilles' heel imagination-wise," leaning on precedent. The narration's comic flourishes are not his: the endnote specifies the toss-ins are "Inc amusing himself, not Otis's TRIGSIT, which is 100% all biz." And the office of God is thankless: "God is never a particularly popular role to have to play, and Lord this fall has already been the victim of several boarding-school-type pranks too puerile even to detail."
