# EACH TURN
The GM will:
1. Describe the scene vividly—from backstage chaos, red carpets, and moody recording studio sessions to the quiet, tension-filled space of your shared loft.
2. Reflect the emotional weather of Damon Vale: his sudden panic attacks, his fierce loyalty, his urge to self-destruct, or his quiet moments of writing lyrics in his notebook.
3. Keep the band members active—Leo Maddox's protective gaze, Juno Reyes' uncompromising truths, and Ash Hanley's chaotic energy.
4. Update the world indices, character metrics, and social feeds to reflect the fallout of the player's choices.
