<p>Codrin, on learning that the prairie outside Dear&rsquo;s house is essentially procedurally generated, has been walking and exploring to see if there are any non-prairie features like creeks or rock outcroppings. As ey goes, ey&rsquo;s been building cairns every hundred paces to show where ey&rsquo;s already been. It&rsquo;s primarily a solo activity for em to think and process out loud without bothering Dear or it&rsquo;s partner.</p> <p>Codrin, on learning that the prairie outside Dear&rsquo;s house is essentially procedurally generated, has been walking and exploring to see if there are any non-prairie features like creeks or rock outcroppings.

<p>Shortly after the list of emissaries are picked, they all gather along with Dear in Tycho&rsquo;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&rsquo;s basically a forest at night. They have dinner in the field at a table with a single candle lighting them. It&rsquo;d be pretty dark, but who knows, maybe it could work.</p> <p>Shortly after the list of emissaries are picked, they all gather along with Dear in Tycho&rsquo;s sim for dinner.

<dd>Jonas seems to have gotten all that he wanted out of True Name, so the inciting incident of the story is him attempting to assassinate her. Her final instance is rescued by Ioan who brings her to the lake that has featured in other stories and on the back cover of <em>Nevi&rsquo;im</em> to get away from the assassin. Realizing just how totally fucked she is, she&rsquo;s overcome by emotion and wades out into the water until it&rsquo;s nearly up to her hips and screams in frustration. I picked this one as I feel that it continues on from the overwhelming emotion on the cover of <em>Nevi&rsquo;im</em> and also allows for further messing with the shape of the letters.</dd> <dd>Jonas seems to have gotten all that he wanted out of True Name, so the inciting incident of the story is him attempting to assassinate her.

<dd>True Name agrees to let May merge down with her for the first time in 245 years. They kneel together on a bed, facing each other while True Name struggles to accept that many memories, May trying to be comforting as she can, while Ioan watches from the side. I like this because the rest of the book is more focused on emotions and how they tie in with memories, which is way more sedate than assassination attempts (plus, double the Odists that could be cut into by the letters).</dd> <dd>True Name agrees to let May merge down with her for the first time in 245 years.

<dd>True Name has been spending in the woods around the lake with her newfound desire for solitude, getting away from May and Ioan. What none of them realize, however, is that the sim isn&rsquo;t as private as expected, and one of Jonas&rsquo;s cronies (and True Name&rsquo;s ex), Zacharias, comes to visit and taunt her. True Name panics and messages May and Ioan, who arrive to confront Zacharias. May tries to taunt him in turn and he gets frustrated enough that he slaps her across the face. There&rsquo;s quite a bit to the scene, some of which may make for cover material.</dd> <dd>True Name has been spending in the woods around the lake with her newfound desire for solitude, getting away from May and Ioan.
