Enya Mini Disc

Summary

The Enya Mini Disc is a physical music medium owned by Sucks Benedict, played on his mini disc player. In Session 9, the disc serves as a meditation tool that Sucks Benedict uses to achieve the calm mental state necessary for controlling the Ever-Living Branch attached to his body. The soothing sounds of Enya prove essential for relaxing Sucks Benedict enough to mentally command the living wood prosthetic to detach, demonstrating the importance of meditation and controlled breathing when working with ever-living wood technology.

Properties

The Enya mini disc is a portable music format from the early 2000s, played through Sucks Benedict's mini disc player. When played, the disc produces what other participants describe as magical-sounding music that creates a meditative atmosphere. The primary mechanical function of the disc is to induce a state of calm in the listener—specifically, the relaxed mental state Sucks Benedict requires to control the Ever-Living Branch prosthetic through mental commands.

The music's calming properties are sufficient to enable Sucks Benedict to overcome the difficulty of detaching the living wood from his body, a process that requires focused meditation and calm breathing rather than physical force. The music does not appear to have inherent magical properties; rather, it serves as a tool to facilitate the user's own mental abilities.

History

Session 9

During Session 9, Sucks Benedict uses the Enya mini disc to achieve the mental calm necessary to detach the Ever-Living Branch from his body. As Sucks Benedict explains: "I put my mini, I put in an Enya mini disc into my mini displayer and I listen to this song."

The meditation technique proves successful. After listening to the disc for a few moments, the GM describes the result: "And yeah, after a few moments of the soothing sounds of Enya coursing through your mini disc player, you feel the very unusual sensation of gently losing a limb." The branch detaches without the need for physical intervention, demonstrating the efficacy of Sucks Benedict's meditation-based approach to controlling the living wood.

Dayna, one of the players at the table, mentions experiencing the music during the session: "I'm listening to the really low while you guys were talking and made it really magical until that moment"—referring to how the ambient Enya playing in the background created atmosphere until the conversation shifted to cruder topics.
