Sex Move Playing the Gorgon Like your famous relative Medusa your gaze turns

people to stone. Fortunately you are neither

If you and your partner can see each other when
you have sex your partner becomes Petrified and
takes 1 harm. The next time you meet, tell them
either:
● You think you were a pity-fuck, dare fuck, or
notch on their bedpost
● You think they were mainly motivated by
affection and give them a string
Then they tell you whether you were right as
either honesty or the audience demands. If you
were you both take 1 forward. If you were wrong
and they laughed at you they take 1 forward.
Scary and intense, the key to the Gorgon is that
they can’t meet anyone’s eyes without hurting
them. Some keep their eyes up and revel in this,
others you can tell are feeling extroverted
because they look at your feet rather than their
own. Either way their body language is wrong, or
they instil dread in the course of normal
conversation.
This means that you always have at least one
social condition on you. Your body language is
simply off, and it is very hard to avoid meeting
someone’s eyes by accident. Oops represents
this.
that old nor that powerful - it takes you
minutes, not seconds. But they start
shivering after only a few seconds.
And even if they don’t know what’s
causing it they become uneasy or
terrified, their skin clammy and
covered in gooseflesh So they try
not to look at you, and you probably
try not to look at them if only not to
see those looks of disgust or fear.

You’re done hiding your gaze. If people can’t
meet it, that’s their issue. You meet the gaze of
everyone you encounter unless they are taking
explicit precautions. If they try to hold your gaze
you aren’t backing down. Escape your darkest
self when either you actually turn someone to
stone or someone takes 2 harm trying to talk
(and stare) you down.
