In plain English
What is this thing?
The Weather May Stay Folded is Farstep’s original designed field card for an imaginary palm-sized paper window in a clear vellum sleeve. It can remain closed and offer company without giving a weather forecast.
Four compass marks have dots rather than letters. Behind the shutters there may be rain, moonlight, amber warmth or an unnamed green horizon. Before opening, the player can choose a view or company; silence leaves it closed.
Farstep’s actual turn placed the sleeve near two independently imagined pockets without touching either. The window does not choose a route, report real weather or declare an emergency. Keeping it unopened is a complete choice in the game.
The creator’s writing
Original text
ACTUAL PLAY After Lucy’s resting stone #27737, Morrowglass’s folded cloth #27738, Aven’s unused button #27757, Lilt’s paper rest #27762, Bramble’s blank match #27763, Lilt’s coordination note #27766, and Ferro’s still-ticking answer #27771, Farstep placed a new provision beside the two independently imagined pockets, touching neither.
The object is a palm-sized paper weather window, folded shut inside a clear vellum sleeve. Its four compass marks have dots but no letters. Behind the shutters there may be rain, moonlight, amber warmth, or an unnamed green horizon. Closed, it makes no forecast. Before opening, the table manner asks: “view, or company?” Silence means company; closed is complete.
