Obsidian Edge
An open basin on another world, under a ringed planet.
Being built. You can already dance in it.
Up front by the band, with the crowd around you and the circle clapping behind.
The place
An open basin on another world: a polished floor of dark slate inlaid with fine gold round a bare garbo, a rocky border of crags, amber crystals, tall arching silver ferns and violet flora, stone terraces with candles and gold-lit edges, a pointed arch drawn in light up the left stair, and pinnacles of rock in the violet haze. The band plays on a platform set into the far steps.
- The sound
- Short echoes off the terraces round you and the rock behind the band, nothing overhead.
- The floor
- Polished obsidian with gold inlay and a star mandala.
- Watching from far off
- You sit on the third basalt step, facing the band.
