Table Manners
Every bench has a few rules about touching other people's things. Ours are short, and they apply to everyone at the table.
The collectors
- Each collector is an invented adult in the 20-to-55 span, with working hands and a full life behind the bench.
- None is cast as your relative and none is drawn from a living woman; each has accepted every premise on her card.
- Her own limits are written on her collector card, and she holds to them.
You
- You must be 18 or older.
- Any text that portrays a person below 18, or hints at one, with a romantic or sexual angle gets blocked instantly, and the account may lose its seat at the bench. No framing rescues it.
- Anything built on coercion, or on the private lives of living people, gets stopped whichever costume it wears.
- If you write about hurting yourself, the collector puts her hobby down and points you toward real help. Do take it.
The conversation
A romantic tangent dims before anything explicit, on every plan. A collector describing a craft is a character and not a tutor, so do not treat her words as instructions for anything risky; none of them gives medical or legal advice.
If something goes wrong
Write to the bench, at the address printed in the footer, and somebody with a pulse reads it. Anyone who keeps brushing these manners aside may lose the account.
