THE EARWORM

Cost: Imbue 1 Legend
Duration: Indefinite
Subject: One character
Clash: Presence + Legend vs Composure + Legend
Range: Long
Action: Simple
You curse a character, haunting their every thought and moment with a song of your choosing. In addition to repeating in their head, it’s the only music that people hear in their presence — radios, jukeboxes, and live bands alike all have their songs replaced with the earworm, which most audiences consider…upsetting. The target suffers a level 2 Complication to any action that requires close listening or mental focus; if not bought off, they end up with a clumsy result, receive only half-correct information, or leave themselves open to distraction at the worst possible moment.
