Orders and the Tasks App

Everything with a clock on it in one place, who set it, and how long you have.

Quick facts

Tasks app: Free, no toggle, appears when you owe somebody something
Orders track: Free since 0.4 (Patreon in 0.3.5), on by default, switch it off in Settings > Content Preferences > Orders
Deadlines: Four slots at a time
Way out: Ask for a week off, in character
Added: v0.3.5

TL;DR

Two layers with the same name. The Tasks app is a read only ledger and it is free for everyone: it invents nothing, it just shows you things that were already true and were only ever said out loud once. The Orders track is the layer that hands out deadlines. It was Patreon in 0.3.5 and is free for everyone since 0.4. It is on by default, and you can switch it off.

The app

It appears on your phone the moment somebody is waiting on you for anything, and it groups rows by who is waiting.

Group	What lands there
Your Owner	The five orders, the curfew, the daily cage post with its streak
Her / Him	Your half of the flat, her rules line by line, his open ask
Yours	The rent, an active dare

Rows only appear when they have a real clock or a real counter. Some things are rhythms rather than deadlines, and the app deliberately does not invent a due date for them.

There is also a What stuck block: each permanent consequence, and beside it the sentence that says how to undo it.

The Orders track

It is on by default for everyone, and you can switch it off under Settings, Content Preferences. It still needs someone to issue them: your Owner from Landlord upward, or Sarah if you live at her place. While it is on, either can set a task with a day attached; with neither, the switch has nothing to do.

The track never issues the five shipped Owner orders as timed tasks, those already exist and counting them twice would make two systems argue. What it issues instead is one of five shapes: be dressed for so many days, be home before curfew so many nights, be seen somewhere before the day is out, hand over an amount, post it so many days running.

What sticks

Miss enough and something lands that does not expire. There are three, each with a repair:

Consequence	The way back
A curfew, imposed	Seven nights home on time
The cold shower at home locked	Ask for it back, he will want something for it
A purchase put on your rent	Pay it off and it is yours

The spa cold plunge is untouched by the second one, on purpose.

The week off

There is no safeword button. There is an in character way out: ask for a week off. It works, and it costs you standing with whoever you asked.
