You know how in Warbreaker, colors become richer and brighter in the presence of someone with heightening, but colors get richer and deeper in the presence of Nightblood?

I think we should have something similar to this in Stormlight Archive: Knights whose eyes get darker when they're surgebinding.

For the ask meme, 8 or 28 whichever one you didn't answer yet :) - Heightening

28. What does Kylo see in Hux?

This is one of my favorite questions because while I think Hux’s attraction to Kylo is pretty easy to understand, Kylo’s attraction to Hux is more complex. What makes him stop seeing Hux as a nuisance and start seeing him as a person worthy of him?

Of course, I think there’s physical attraction, but that alone wouldn’t be enough. Hux is kind of in Kylo’s way. He’s irritating at worst and just kind of there at best. Kylo works with him because he has to.

Ultimately I think it’s a combination of Hux’s mind, his fearlessness, his ambition, and his ability to carry out hideous acts without remorse. Kylo appreciates intelligence; he doesn’t like dealing with people who can’t keep up with him. And while he enjoys that most are afraid of him, he ultimately has trouble respecting people who fear him. (He gets along well with stormtroopers because they are soldiers who are conditioned not to show their fear; they’re able to work with him just fine.) And Kylo and Hux are both very ambitious, which results in their being rivals for Snoke’s favor, making Kylo notice Hux more. But that last one is big. Kylo keeps feeling “pulled to the light.” Hux obviously does not. Kylo is impressed by this, though also irritated that someone who doesn’t even have the Force has more capability to be dark than he does.

So this all starts to intrigue Kylo more and more. Meanwhile Hux already has a thing for Kylo but is trying to fight it because he keeps getting rebuffed. Nothing happens until Kylo gets curious enough. After that, it’s not long before Kylo’s in deep 😁

Peas In A Pod (Matching, Heightening)

One players enter a scene based on a suggestion and starts with a physicality, a second player enters and begins to match the physicality, from there both players will match and heighten each others emotion. behavior, and attitude. This scene should be more than just agreement and following, but should be pushed further by each player. If one player is excited at the top of the scene, the other player should become even more excited and try to hype up and find reasons for the first player to become even more excited.

Fill In The Emotion and Object/ Location 

(Emotion, Heightening, Gifting, Framing & Justification)

Similar to accusations, accuse your scene partner of an emotion when you mention a location or object. 

For example: “Why do you get so ______ (Emotion) when I mention ______ (Place or Object).” 

Example of the example “Why do you get so excited every time I mention the grocery store.” 

Once one improviser has gifted the other with an emotion and reason for the emotion, the other improviser should play into the emotion they were gifted and justify why they have that emotion. 

For example Player 1 might ask “Why do you get so excited every time I mention the grocery store” and Player 2 might respond while acting excited “ I get excited because I have a crush on the deli meats guy”. 

This scene should continue to play out with the player who set the accusation continuing to gift their scene partner by continuing to introduce the idea of the grocery store or similar grocery like topics that would get their scene partner to continue to get more excited.  

For example Player 1 might talk about all the cheese and meats the deli guy is cutting which would in turn makes Player 2 get even more excited. 

These can be 3 line scenes or can continue full length with the idea being Player 1 will continue to gift lines of dialogue that will heighten the emotion while Player 2 will double down on the emotion they were gifted.

Emotional 1-10/ Emotional Wave (Emotions, Behavior, Heightening)- Players stand in a circle and the leader will pick out an emotion (Happy, Sad, Angry, Lazy, etc) Once an emotion is picked we go around the circle taking the emotion from a 1 to a 10. So there are multiple ways this can be played. One way is to point to a player in the circle give them an emotion and the players around the circle traveling left will heighten the emotion. So the first player may play angry at a 1, the 2nd player a litter angrier at a 2, 3rd more angry at a 3 , and so on until we hit 10 which whoever that lands on should be raving mad. Then a new person will be pointed at and given a new emotion to start and once again it will travel and grow around the circle and it hits 10.

 A 2nd way to play this is to have every player walk around the space of the room and the leader will shout out an emotion and a number. If I was to say Happy 7, every player in the circle will then start to walk around the space as if they are pretty darn happy, then I may say Sad 3, so players are not crying but maybe now moping around the space of the room. In this version the caller will call out any emotion they can think of and assign a number value to it  and all the players will embody this emotion at once.
