* True Name tackling Answers Will Not Help while others jolt away
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
During the conference, True Name tackles Answers Will Not Help, who is slowly losing her mind and has said the Name. Obviously, everyone is kind of freaked out by this, so they all jolt away from the action, meaning Codrin, Tycho, and Sarah jolting to the side and the Artemisians, if shown, jolting back.

|
* Ioan, May, End Waking, A Finger Pointing, and Douglas camping out
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Ioan and May visit End Waking's forest along with A Finger Pointing and Douglas Hadje, where they eat a very good stew cooked over a campfire and share stories, guessing what the Artemisians are like and talking about why time skew sucks for Odists.

|
* Tycho and Stolon chatting in the sunny window
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Tycho and Stolon, as astronomers and fucking nerds, have a lot to talk about, so they take every chance they can get to steal some time away from the meetings and chat about stars. As a lizardy type, Stolon is fond of sunning themself, so they've found an alcove where they can do so on a windowsill.

|
* Emissaries' dinner in Tycho's sim
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Shortly after the list of emissaries are picked, they all gather along with Dear in Tycho's sim for dinner. His sim is a mossy meadow in the midst of a ring of forest in the pacific northwest. It acts as a dark-sky sight for naked-eye astronomy, so it's basically a forest at night. They have dinner in the field at a table with a single candle lighting them. It'd be pretty dark, but who knows, maybe it could work.

|
* Tycho and True Name talking in his sim
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Twice during the book, Tycho and True Name have a conversation in his sim, that same dark field. They use red-tinted flashlights to watch what they're doing. During the first meeting, they keep them nearby and pointed towards them so that they can see each others' expressions. During the second, they share champagne after the successful talks, though they do so mostly in the dark without the flashlights.

|
* Tycho watches news disseminate
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Odists control when and how the news of the Artemisians arrival disseminates through they system. They do so by posting five articles to the equivalent of the 'net, which are represented by five sheets of paper on a whiteboard. As the responses come in and more articles by others are posted, they are added below the first five and the relationships between articles tracked with marker on the whiteboard. A ton of articles come in, so the whiteboard grows upwards, and the Odists and Jonases watching the dissemination stand on air in front of the stuff they're working on if it's too high for them to reach.

Would like to keep the door imagery, preferring instances where someone is leaving rather than arriving

|
* Current best idea: Tycho leaving for Artemis through the Customs Office
|

|
|
* Codrin watching Sorina leave during sunrise
|

|
|
* Ioan and May stepping to abandoned hike sim to talk about the Name

* Tycho showing up at Dear/Codrin's the first night
