Editing Bound to the Party (section)

==Boons==
Bound to the Party is useful for travel, as an escape route, or as a place to strand somebody.<ref>“I won’t get into the boons.  Running that path is more about escaping a worst-case scenario situation here instead of actually getting any benefits.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/11/13/playing-a-part-15-5/ Excerpt] from [[Playing a Part 15.5]]</ref><ref>The last times she’d been here, she’d been playing by different rules.  She’d brought Florin Pesch here, and so she’d been exempt from rules, and she’d been exempt from getting rewards. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/07/12/crossed-with-silver-19-14/ Excerpt] from [[Crossed with Silver 19.14]]</ref> Using Hazel's rule of pursuit for one of the latter lets a Finder avoid rules, but also prevents them from gaining boons.<ref name="pursuit"/> One of several weak boons can be obtained at the Party at the end of the Path. One allows a Finder to ask someone for a non-food item it would be common to have multiple of, such as office or school supplies or ammunition, and they'll likely spare some. Another causes free food to appear near the Finder.<ref name="boon">The box was a foot across on every side, red, and tied with a thick ribbon.  Avery opened it, then took out a bullet.<br>[...]<br>“It’s a boon, a little bit of magic I get for finishing the Path.  Bound to the Party gets walked a fair bit so it’s a bit weak.  Most of the easy paths are, just because they’ve been used a lot.”<br>[...]<br>“Anyway, means about once a day, I can ask a stranger for something you can have in large numbers and run out of, and they’ll probably have it.  Notecards, pen, bullet…”<br><br>“Food,” Snowdrop muttered.<br><br>“Not food.  There’s three boxes, each has a set of rewards that they tend to give.  There’s a cherry pit pie, and if you eat the slice, you find random food a lot.  Random box of cookies sitting by the road, or whatever.  Or if you’re stuck in a desert, like, a box will fall off a passing plane.  Makes it hard to starve to death.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/07/12/crossed-with-silver-19-14/ Excerpt] from [[Crossed with Silver 19.14]]</ref> Bound to the Party can also transition to one of a few other Paths at the end, such as the Crash Course or Down the Tubes, though the Finder can exit before this.<ref>But the music was too loud for an explanation.  Avery took her mom’s arm.  She wanted out of here in case the Path tried to move things along to another length.  Bound to the Party could connect to the Party Down, which could connect to Down the Tubes, which was best described as going down a child’s slide with a razor blade embedded in it, a fast track down to the Abyss.  But the Party Down wasn’t the only option.  This place couldbecome the Party Crash, which was a fast and frenetic transition to Crash Course. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/07/12/crossed-with-silver-19-14/ Excerpt] from [[Crossed with Silver 19.14]]</ref>
