Fixation
Fixation occurs during predatory patrol events when the pursuer elects
to continue after the pursued even though they are making it more difficult
to do so.
Fixation builds over time but will only take effect if the target is captured.
As a target you can avoid fixation by either by abandoning the chase or
Letting them go when they try to dash past you.
If instead the target is captured, the pursuer will be affected by fixation
for some time afterwards, for a duration based on the level of fixation.
While affected by fixation in this way, they will have lower life force when
Not in the same room as the person they are fixated by and will have a
Harder time paying attention to other things going on. Meanwhile the
Victim’s invitation to them will be elevated. They can terminate
this effect early if they murder the target of their fixation, but this will
also cause a life force debuff for several weeks afterwards. They will earn
Some karma for roleplaying with the target of their fixation.
Fixation increases the Invitation level of the target to the predator.
