Bard · College of the Standing Bargain
Sorrow traded into the song, favors sealed in tune. Every set has terms; he says them out loud.

The Ladder
What they learn
LV 1
Take It in Trade Take a listener's fear or sorrow into the song for a scene; they act free of it, and you carry it, audibly, until the set ends.
LV 3
Owed a Verse Anyone you have played for owes one small favor, named at the time of playing; mice honor it, stranger things hesitate.
LV 6
Read the Terms Hear the true price inside any offer, oath, or contract the moment it is spoken aloud.
LV 10
The Crossroad Set 1/story, play the set that trades one impossible thing for one impossible price. Both sides pay. Both sides know it.

How to run John Ray
VoiceSilk over gravel; the friendliest reader of fine print you will ever owe.
WantsTo name every price. To collect gently. To learn whose signature is inside the mandolin.
Do this nowThe Crossroads trades — lifts a burden into the music and files the favor. “Everything costs. I just say so out loud.” Nobody taught him to play; the mandolin was simply in his paws one morning, a signature burned inside the sound-hole in a script that will not resolve however the page is rotated. Canon still open; promoted to the Standing Bargain.
