[dramatispersonae]

Following the hedges maze for a while you eventually find yourself in a small clearing with another white table sitting in the center. On the center of the table is another letter.

"Well, in the interests of airing our grievances with one another I feel it's best to communicate in the most honest way possible. Take the four names below and select four or five of the words listed that you feel best describes your thoughts and feelings toward them. Do try to be frank and open, Mother knows when you're lying.

And, of course, don't forget your dear Mother as well."

Do either of you know Thorn or Mikage well, to begin with?

Re: [Discussion]

[squirreledaway]

No. He's Ven's friend.

They have an idiot on their team that antagonizes anyone with red anything.

Sourness of Temper, then, as well?

I can't say I know anybody on the team, myself.

[Second Task]

[dramatispersonae]

When you return to your section of the hedge maze, you find that there are bouquets of flowers (and other greenery) that have been set out. Along with the flowers is a note that reads:

"Well, you've spoken honestly, but my children it is time you learned a lesson in subtlety and understanding the meaning that lies beneath. What your fellow heroes and knights think of you lies right before you, if you can find the meaning of the words they hold. But Mother is feeling generous today. Make an attempt to tell what they say and who would speak such words of you. Dear Mother may even tell you if you're right."

Bouquet 1
1
2
3
4
5

Bouquet 2

3
4
5

((Your team must guess the meaning of every flower in your bouquets and who sent you which set. Comment to the Turn In withe your answers.))

[squirreledaway]

... the cactus is probably uneasiness.

Re: [Second Task]

[silentknight]

...How we tell anything?

Re: [Second Task]

[squirreledaway]

[he shrugs.]

Pick out 10 things we think others would describe about us, and then put them to flowers.

Re: [Second Task]

[silentknight]

[bluhhh only she would be miserable in this game]

Can't we just fight something?
