Odd Jobs, Long Nights, and Cold Mornings

Odd Jobs, Long Nights, and Cold Mornings is a game about adjacent acquaintances, professional respect, and catching feelings, for two [or three] players.

It was written by cobalt tower [& daniel] for the once upon a blue monday + record collection 2k21 game jams.  The scene prompts feature lyrics from: 

 + Alarm Call, by The Correspondents
 + Arrow, by Polite Fiction
 + Autoclave, by the Mountain Goats

One of you is the Established and one of you is the Incoming.  You have known each other for a while, sharing different spaces in a broader social circle. Now, you are allies together, serving a cause that brings you up close and personal. How does your relationship change over time? One of you is the Outsider. You’re new here—or at least, you are now. You have a way in: legacy, or finally coming home? You’ve entered the Circle, joined the Cause—for a reason.  Why are you here?

You will need:
 - two or three players interested in discussing feelings, navigating complex relationships, and exploring a dark tone
 - somewhere to keep track of your characters, the prompts you choose, and the scenes that follow
 - a few hours [don't be afraid to press pause between scenes and come back later for another session—with or without a  parallel time jump in your story]
