CARNELIAN

You're in a small grove of trees off the side of the road. Somehow, their thick leaves muffle all sound from beyond, leaving only faint whispers and echoes at the fringe of your hearing.

It is not other people to whom my sorrow is given. They are not bound within this loveless pretense you speak of.

Yeah, I know. I'm just saying.

That the difference is there, but perhaps not so great as I had initially perceived it?

Ah, from Ruby, though I can ascertain none of their usual craft for word in this. Nor indeed their penchant for bacon.

Yeah. I guess that it's not socially accepted but people do it anyway.

The first looks to be acceptance of the fact that some cannot dance. And later there seems to be a reference to Ruby's treehouse; perhaps the fat that hangeth down is their beloved bacon.

Do you think the words are the same, just in another order? Or are the words mixed too? Why would they talk about a cache?

The cache is a mystery to me as well; and for that reason I believe the words to be mixed. If it is indeed the word they meant to use, it is nothing I have heard from any of them thus far.

I think it's just Tavros. He's kind of weird.

Is he? I have found him to be a fine, upstanding troll. Yet I have not heard him refer to the treehouse as "a tree of the house," for it would instead be "a house of the tree."

Perhaps something indicating the welcoming nature and then an indication that there is plenty of bacon at Ruby's treehouse for visitors. I cannot decipher "to give easily," however, if it is in reference to this lack of pressure. It is only on its own that I would take it to mean that Ruby is friendly and open to sharing with others.

Yeah, maybe. I don't know what to say. There are a lot of "the".

Perhaps that has been added to the message to confuse us. It may be something along the lines of…

Ruby welcomes all to our treehouse, well stocked with bacon which shall be given freely. There is no pressure to dance, and we shall speak freely to anyone."

Sounds good to me... I don't have any other ideas.

[he nods.]

Nor do I. I do not think it entirely incorrect, at the least.

Ruby welcomes all to our treehouse, well stocked with bacon which shall be given freely. There is no pressure to dance, and we shall speak freely to anyone.

The white bird flies in once again, drops the scroll it was holding, takes hold of your scroll, and flies away.

I know not; and thus I will do as you did and find all words I can, that you may choose.

Yeah, I'll do the same.

This is what I have so far.

It seems we have found the same-- though I found instead "morality" where you found "immoral," and I am saddened for it, for these are all negative traits that I do not believe my human friends to have.

Oh, yeah. Immorality works.

She did say it was going to be a negative game. And anyway, you probably just met the good ones.

I see Deceit, as well. And woe.

I have met a great many in my time, in my own world and here. I do not think it entirely luck.

[he sighs.]
