Extra Season Negotiation

Extra Season · extra-season

Additional contracted season a crawler can trade for a concession; Tipid traded one for his key.

Story so far

An exiting crawler can negotiate extra time in the dungeon in exchange for concessions from The Syndicate. Tipid used that leverage on exactly one thing: keeping Tipid's Key. "They let you keep it," Damien tells him. "You negotiated an extra season just so you could have it. It's yours."

It is the worst trade in his record. He spent a season of his life on a spent, jewel-burnt key that only reminds him of Horatio, and spent nothing on Post-Release Health Care — leaving his Brain Lesions to eat his whole Crawler Pension. On being told the key is his, Tipid snaps the chain and throws it across the table.

Role

The negotiating chip Tipid spent on the one possession he ultimately rejects.
