<p>All,</p>
<p>You&rsquo;ll have to forgive a rather rambly sort of letter, as it&rsquo;s currently being co-written by two Bălans and two skunks. Aurel was just forked,<sup id="fnref:justforked"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:justforked">1</a></sup> and the four of us are sitting out in Douglas&rsquo;s field along with him, E.W., Debarre, and a few other friends after having a small potluck of sorts. There wasn&rsquo;t any real reason for the get-together other than it&rsquo;s snowy at our sim, the skunks were whining, and it&rsquo;s always nice here. What started as a plan for Ioan, May, Sasha, and Douglas to have a picnic blossomed on a whim to something of a party.</p>
<p>As parties go, it&rsquo;s been a very laid back one. We all brought some food along with us &mdash; the Bălans brought <em>musaca</em>, May Then My Name made a cake, Sasha brought few roast hares, and so on &mdash; and set set up some tables out back of Douglas&rsquo;s house to eat.</p>

<p>Not to be outdone, A Finger Pointing and Vos, one of the other techs from the theatre, set up a small bar where they started making outlandish cocktails based on what they thought each of us wanted, rather than anything we asked for. They&rsquo;ve had about 70% hits, 30% misses, so far, which is pretty good, all told.<sup id="fnref:rambly"><a class="footnote-ref" href="#fn:rambly">2</a></sup> May currently has a drink that seems to be something between melted chocolate ice cream and brandy. It&rsquo;s quite good, but so rich that we can all only handle small sips of it at a time. Ioan got stuck with a vodka and soda water. One of those &ldquo;why bother?&rdquo; drinks. Are the Bălans really so boring as to suggest vodka sodas?</p>
<p>A Finger Pointing&rsquo;s up-tree instance, Where It Watches The Slow Hours Progress, played a baffling&hellip;I guess party trick on us earlier that I think some are still recovering from. She suggested we play &ldquo;two truths and a lie with a twist&rdquo; and, after May explained what &ldquo;two truths and a lie&rdquo; was, we all agreed.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, the twist was that she went around and, for each of us, told us two things that will probably happen to us in the near future and one thing that definitely wouldn&rsquo;t, then set us to discussing which of ours we thought was the lie. None of the things she said were all that big or consequential, and certainly none were cruel or sad, but while the conversation that ensued was quite lively, it wasn&rsquo;t exactly fun, either.</p>
