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.

A scroll rests on the ground before you, along with a quill pen. As a team, you will need to write a short message (about two sentences) to the other teams on it. (If no one here can write, the pen will respond to your thoughts.)

The scroll the bird just dropped is covered in letters--seemingly random at first, but with some patterns. Even if you cannot read, you understand that there are words to be found here...

Beneath the jumble of letters is a question: "Why would someone betray his beloved?"

The latest scroll has a short message on it, similar to the one you wrote earlier...but not quite. It seems to be another team's message, but somehow jumbled and distorted. It will be your task to try to ascertain what it was originally.

Beneath the jumble of letters is a question: "What is human nature?"

This time, the scroll is a bit more tattered than before. Is that dried blood staining its edges?

"The dance floor at there is no pressure to be able to, to give easily, to communicate to anyone and Ruby the fat hangeth down the hidden things there is a tree of the house of cache."

Beloved of them:
Even if all the features
It can not be done, which thou shalt do.
And so, I want to show -
The darkness:
To be vicious, they think. In this example
How shameful it is to believe the loss of this evil.

A single message to all the teams, then? There is only one scroll.

[and after a beat.]

Before, I could not introduce myself; I will now, for I have remembered the name Maitimo.

Maitimo it is, then.

And yeah, I guess. What sort of thing do you think we should communicate?

I know not what Carnelian would wish to. Were I by myself, I would perhaps issue a formal salutation, though I know not what would be proper for a place such as this.

Yeah. I don't know. We can do a greeting or something. I don't really have a lot to say to everyone.

[he nods.]

Something not unlike Greetings from Carnelian on the morning of this game. The best of wishes fly from our hearts for you to make reality, then?

Uh.

I'm not really sure that's our style. But if you want to keep the same sort of message, something like "Morning. Good luck in the game today. - Carnelian"?

[he laughs and nods.]

That does sound more appropriate to the language here. A simple greeting, and pleasant.

Yeah. Kind of cheesy, but maybe it means people won't be jerks.
