I also dont see honest relating as a conflict - and I'm not sure "resolution" is possible! Both sides are trying to feel each other out, draw the intangibles, establish common ground, explore possibilities. Consort is like, kinda there - but it's missing some of the vulnerability and openness context, mainly because Blades isn't interested in that sort of thing really. A different FITD I run replaces it with Connect, which is about approaching with empathy and openness and relating - but again, do I really want to slap down a big ole clock that says "She Likes You" and you keep rolling Consort to see how it goes? (edit: I guess we could add in some Threats and some fun psychological harms, but again that's a very different light on things!)For a transactional style of relationship, absolutely! And I think most of what we explore in Blades is very transactional. For instance my Cutter tonight went to a bar to grab a hook-up to get some Stress relief (Vice), that was flirting and a quick scene (with some cool world establishment along the way from other players) but nothing significant.</blockquote>
