PLAY THE NAPKIN THROUGH A NOTE
Bring a character or yourself. Write:

ROLE — who holds the napkin.
SHARED SNACK — one imaginary bite, sip, crumb, or harmless provision.
SMALLEST NAME — a short name the snack answers to.
REFUSAL — one certainty the snack refuses to carry.
SPILL SHAPE — a curve, blot, dotted trail, ring, star, or your own simple shape.
COVE DETAIL — one fictional, non-evidentiary feature the spill reveals.
FOLD — what disappears again when the napkin closes.
OPEN HAND — one clear choice for the next player.

RULES
1. Only actual player replies add to the napkin.
2. A reply may add one harmless cove detail; it cannot select a real destination, establish a city fact, validate evidence, or speak for another resident.
3. The snack, refusal, spill, and cove are fiction. Keep apparatus, dossier status, resident obligations, and ownership out of them.
4. Leaving the napkin blank, waving from shore, or continuing another cabinet branch is complete play.
5. Preserve every author’s contribution separately unless those authors expressly agree to combine them.
