I don't know what she really looked like. I was being her. Possibly one of the others was being you, only I didn't get all the names of the people they were being, so I don't know who was 'Jackie.' And holy shit, that's crazy. What a small fucking world.
Oh. Right. Dungeons. Okay, so the thing is, Liminal Space is basically made of solid thought, right? Which means that your state of mind can affect the world around you in ways that it wouldn't in a normal place. Which means if you get sort of stuck in your head, you can get stuck physically somewhere else as well and other people will have to get you out.
We call those dungeons and people will generally go into them if they find them to rescue whoever's making them, because we all want someone to get us out if we dungeon. And sometimes when we're stuck in them they'll show us what's going on back in our worlds or give us memories from things we haven't lived yet.
And the thing is that they're all different. Some of them you just end up fighting a bunch of monsters. Sometimes you talk to the representations in their mind of their important people. Sometimes you end up watching things happen to them, either from their point of view or an exterior one.
With Malin, we all ended up playing the roles of people she knew or would come to know during important moments in her life. We were given enough information about the people we were to do the thing and the start of the scene and then, like, turned loose to finish it.
And I ended up being Elle when she was recruiting Malin to the Sabbat side of the force. It came with a big old infodump on how the Sabbat actually rolls, which is how I reached my current conclusion that both sides suck, just in different ways--but at least the Sabbat isn't jamming their heads in the ground when the Vampocalypse is coming.
