Mary gasped when she saw Shona in the break room. [color=pink]"Oh, Sho-Sho! Hey, it's fine, really~"[/color] She smiled in embarrassment. [color=pink]"You go on and have fun, I'll just take five. You know us girls gotta take care of our looks. Byeee!"[/color] Mary then headed straight for the fridge to grab whatever was left from the breakfast. A ton of stuff happened, but Mary just wanted to a moment to handle the mix of emotions she was feeling, particularly in regards to Caora. She went to sit a table leaning on her arm, staring into the distance. [color=pink][i]Sigh, he's too much of a crybaby to really have fun with...And it's a shame too, cause he's so cute. Maybe if I show how nice it's to be with girls...[/i][/color]

It was at that moment that she fantasized about Caora coming to the break room and speaking to her in a deeper voice, like one of those dashing game protagonists, and she opened her eyes with a wide smile. [color=pink]"Oh Cookie, you've grown into a real man!"[/color] But the man who spoke to her was actually Davis, and he snapped a picture of her befuddled face. [color=pink]"EEEEHHHHH! Get out of here with that shoddy example of flirting! And I'll have you know I don't only stream games, but other events as well! I'm not one of those fake gamer girls who have no idea what they're doing! Bwah, you guys are all the same, no respect at all."[/color]

Mary felt a bit bummed out, and so she decided to try talking to people. She noticed that Aleecia was by herself, and she smiled. [color=pink]"Hi Aleeeciaaa!~"[/color] She greeted her, and took her hand. [color=pink]"I'm Mary, in case you didn't recognize my voice, not that many would, ha ha!"[/color] She then let go of her. [color=pink]"So you're the Ultimate Dice Master, huh? I never could have guessed! Have you played Lizards and Labyrinths? I hear that the rules can be obtained in Braille as well!"[/color]

Mondatta found the repository of knowledge quite a find, as he slowly turned over pages from a stack of books he picked out for himself. None of them had relevant hints to their situation, but as a wise man Mondatta knew to trust in the written word in times of crisis; he gave a book of history on the Byzantine to Shona as well: [color=gray]"You might find this interesting?"[/color]
When Daimyon entered the study the monk greeted him as well. [color=gray]"We appreciate any assistance we may receive, especially from a man as well-read as the Ultimate Poet."[/color] Mondatta returned to his search, but then stopped when he noticed that the Poet found a book in an unusual spot. [color=gray]"Is there a clue in the book?"[/color] He asked the man of literature.
