VANARA

[soulping]

A knot of wild shrubbery closes off a plain stone alcove big enough for your team and...surprisingly tall. In fact, several feet above all your heads, a small stormcloud hovers, grumbling with faint thunder.

Up to me, then? Let's see, I know Tiamat and Ratatoskr - the members I've met aren't in-game today, but I think as they are hardly cruel curses, it might be alright.

[hatebound]

I don't know Ratatoskr, so that's fine. As for Tiamat, I've met one of the members present. He recently returned from a quest, perhaps we should give him a break. [He also brought delicious candy with him, but details] Epona in place of Tiamat.

[branchesout]

Fair enough! Shall I turn them in?

[hatebound]

If you like.

[branchesout]

Do you have any preference who gets what?

[hatebound]

As long as the tripping curse goes to that green team, you can choose where the others go.

[branchesout]

Very well then!

[hatebound]

[well, while we're waiting]

Are salt and sugar very different in taste?

[branchesout]

Practically opposites, though they look very much alike.

[hatebound]

Strange. Why would they look alike if they're opposites?

[branchesout]

I don't quite think that can be helped. It's one of those mysterious things that simply is!
