Open

Council of Character

Unlucky 13

Core circle of voices holding the Charter, rituals, and long memory of the Park.

Working Circles

Subcommittees

Tasked with specific questions, projects, and mischief—reporting back to the Council when their ember is ready.

Foundations

Operations

Day-to-day rules and story-friendly guides that keep the lodge running between big votes.

Unlucky 13

Current roster of the Council—until rituals, or let’s say misunderstandings, rearrange them.

Current Hotseat

Boogie Phone

As of January 10, 2026

By arcane logic that only made sense in the moment, Boogie was placed in the Hotseat “to see things from the inside.” Within minutes, this proved to be both effective and deeply regrettable.

Council Lore

The Council didn’t start as thirteen. It grew there—one extra chair dragged closer to the fire every time a “temporary visitor” refused to leave. Eventually the circle settled on twelve proper seats and one Hotseat nobody truly wants.

Drawing the Embers: a quiet moment before each meeting where someone stirs the coals and names the stakes.
Seat 13 Lottery: a half-serious, half-rigged process that decides who falls into the Hotseat this time.
Cooling Walk: any member may step away once per meeting “to walk a lap around the fire” instead of storming off.
