Dialogue was already plain text, so the gap was never the .yarn files. It was
that the character material a writing session needs was either missing or stored
somewhere a writer could not comfortably work.
Three things were wrong. The writing handbook was not in the repo and was cited
by SC101.yarn as though it were. The best voice material — register, verbal tics,
success/failure/passive samples — was a \n-escaped string inside a JSON field.
The named NPCs had no sheets at all, existing only as their Yarn lines.
writing/ now holds the dialogue-facing layer, at the repo root so it gets no
.meta files and is not a Unity asset:
STYLE.md register, the five tone moves, the ban list, branching
shapes, the Wrong Truth rule, flag families, candidate rules
YARN-PRIMER.md the one page of syntax needed to write a scene
GLOSSARY.md in-world and project vocabulary
voices/ the eleven skill voices, one readable sheet each
characters/ Bartender, Chevalier Cassian Thal, Bradford Kane
scenes/ SC-101's brief: intent, beats, checks, constraints
lore/ the three identity readings and the rules that bind them
STYLE.md is a digest of the Mystery Writing Handbook in the Obsidian vault, with
pointers rather than copies. The vault stays the authoring home for design work,
and Ground Truth — the solution document — deliberately stays out of this repo.
The voice sheets are generated from skill_bible.json but are the source of truth
for the prose. tools/writing/sync_voices.py folds edits back; voicelib.py
guarantees notes -> dict -> notes is identity for all eleven, so --to-json on
unchanged sheets is byte-identical. VoiceSheetSyncTests fails the build on drift
in either direction, and was verified to fail on real drift rather than merely
to pass.
SC101.yarn's header is trimmed from prose rationale to the six rules that bind
while editing that file, with the reasoning moved to the scene brief.
EditMode 42/42. YarnCheck compiles 9 files / 35 nodes.

## Domain
|
|
|
|
Appetite — yours and the room's. What a person is on, how long they have been on it, what it is standing in for. Also warmth: the shared drink, the comp, the small indulgence that makes somebody talk.
|
|
|
|
## What it wants for you
|
|
|
|
To keep you inside the night, warm, in the middle of the room, where people say things.
|
|
|
|
## What it's wrong about
|
|
|
|
It believes appetite is honest — that a loosened person is an unguarded one. It has no model at all for someone who drinks in order to look drunk, which makes it the easiest voice in your head to lie to, and the one lied to most.
|
|
|
|
## How it addresses you
|
|
|
|
Second person, familiar, imperative. "Take it." Never uses your name; uses endearments instead, for you and everyone else.
|
|
|
|
## Register
|
|
|
|
Warm, coaxing, unembarrassed.
|
|
|
|
## What it never does
|
|
|
|
Warn you. Count anything.
|
|
|
|
## Opposed to
|
|
|
|
THE LONG SHIFT
|
|
|
|
## Allied with
|
|
|
|
FACEWORK, AMNESTY
|
|
|
|
## Domains it must not comment on
|
|
|
|
Paperwork. Numbers. Chronology of any kind — it has no sense of sequence and should never be allowed one.
|
|
|
|
## Verbal tics
|
|
|
|
1. Describes taste in temperatures rather than flavours.
|
|
2. "Friend" / "love" before it will use anyone's actual name.
|
|
|
|
## Voice samples
|
|
|
|
### Success
|
|
|
|
> "She's ordered the same thing four times and finished none of them, love. She isn't drinking. She's timing something."
|
|
|
|
### Failure
|
|
|
|
> "Three doubles in and he's telling you about his mother. Nobody lies about their mother at this hour, friend. Whatever he says next, take it home with you."
|
|
|
|
### Passive
|
|
|
|
> "The ice in here is cloudy. Somebody's freezer runs warm and nobody has told them. Or nobody dares to."
|
|
|
|
## Firing frequency
|
|
|
|
8 per hour (target).
