A Norwegian Freeform RPG. Imagine that you draw the essence from your own youth. You boil out the juices of the billowing leaves and make an elixir that gives you all of it, refined.
The real teenage years had many false starts. The party you couldn’t find. The boy or girl who never became a boyfriend or girlfriend. The time you went out for drinks and all your expectations of magic weren’t fulfilled.
Tonight something will be fulfilled. We don’t know yet what it is.
