Title: THREE OF COINS
Post by: droqen on January 22, 2025, 02:32:40 PM
a section of abstract architectural structure inlaid with three glowing coins separates the dark green underground from a sliver of sky, barely visible above.

one character stands at the top of a set of stairs in the background, presenting or reaching for the central coin-bearing section of the structure. further ahead of this background character is a fall into a pit, followed by a plateau. this character's journey is laid out for us to observe: their past, and perhaps their future.

two characters observe from the foreground. they are not participating in the journey but from their position they see -- as we see, as readers of the card -- what the character in the background cannot. and, between them, they share different expressions; even the two observers seeing everything do not necessarily have the same response.

at this moment, different perspectives are coming together. the collective action is productive, as long as these perspectives remain simultaneously distinct and focused on a shared goal.
