More notes from the Short-Bus-Spanners Continuum campaign. This was certainly the most "adult" (read: juvenile) session of the campaign, but it was well received by the play group. I have fond memories of the synchronized head-turning.
-3241 BC - March 20th at 6:32 am - Kish, Sumeria - Tauran -
Dreamer Corner atop a ziggurat. Playlist: Middle Eastern
When you arrive: Span onto the roof of the tallest building in a large city. It’s the top of a huge stepped pyramid - a ziggurat. Bronze poles in each corner of the roof suspend a heavy white tarp above your heads as a sunshield. Even with it providing shade, the sun is painfully bright up here.
An uncomfortable looking glazed bed sits in the middle of the roof. A sexual act is taking place upon it. Music and moaning can be heard below.
Ooops! Izzy’s a little ticked off. This timing on the morning of the Equinox, proposed by En Hakana, made Izzy a little suspicious, and now she’s going to be in a little conflict with her host.
“Pam, be a dear and Span up to noon on the 21st. I’ll make sure it’s safe when you get then. Anyone else who’s not so keen on surprise Sumerian Crop orgies, feel free to span with her. I’ll stay here and try to explain to our host that this is rude where you guys come from.”
The party's hostess will of course be atop the ziggurat, where she makes love to all three of her husbands in ritualistic succession. The Tauran symbol is painted on her forehead.
Izzy knows her from dreams. The woman’s name is En Hakana, the high priestess of the Goddess Innana. En Hakana has three husbands, named Kahlil, Gilgamesh, and Nippuren. And no, it’s not THAT Gilgamesh.
There's a very good reason for this big orgy. We’re at the end of The Hunt Of The Sun, where Antedessertium attempts mystical earthworks to turn the planet into a sort of reactor. The bad guy’s idea is to cause the sun to collapse into a tippler cylinder, destroying the future. The Sumerians have the technological advancement to build the massive components of the macrocomputer and drop them on the Chi points & Leylines of mesopotamia. The continuum’s only found one good way to keep them controlled and distracted: sex worship. This morning is one of the big orgies.
Before you leave: En Hakana apologizes. She’s never been to the Piscean Age physically, only by Dream Projection - and people’s dreamlife in the your time is every bit as sexual as here. Orgy dreams are less common than individual encounters, she should have inferred from that.
She genuinely thought you’d be honored to be included - timing your arrival this way was intended to make you the guests of honor in the most important celebration of the year.

The players had a lot of fun with this - either playing out there shock and disgust, or their curiosity. When in Rome... er, Kish...
