Ivans are playing cards.
Mileses, including Solvei, are debating the wisdom of borrowing another strategy game from Bar; Mark, a voice of caution, does not know what will happen if all of them (Solvei, Mial, Miles, Milo, Stalas) all start screaming at each other in twenty directions.
And -
"These are all full sets? I don't particularly wish to deprive someone else of a set just for my curiosity."
"I also have six extra heart candies if you just want to try one to see what happens," she says.
"I would like that - but given the rate at which people with exotic health problems are accumulating in here I might wait until you're about to leave."
"I'm a little torn," says Ashras. "What we've got is uncomfortable but it's not that inconvenient compared to what it sounds like the rest of you have. As Mileses go, I might not rate."
"Since the magic blood, I'm not especially in need of unnatural health," says Miles.
"...I want it," says Stalas. He approaches Sable and her rows of goodies.
"Actually I'm kind of curious - can you separate those out by yourself?" she asks, handing Stalas the red candy.
"It would be obvious how. Give it here, I'll separate them for you," she says. And when she has the candy again, she - does something to it - and now she is holding two candies, one of which she hands to Stalas.
"...That is so weird," he says. "But in a good way!"
"I'm not sure, but it's never seemed like a good idea to try it," says Sable. "Stacked items are sort of... abstract? Stalas, did you notice a difference between the candy and the stack?"
He eats the second candy.
"Wow, I'm very happy with my decision to try these."
He continues eating candies as Sable separates them out for him.
Elarron is carrying on a conversation with Inlaith that seems to consist mostly of body language and facial expressions.
She creeps up on the door. It continues existing. She snatches and turns the knob before it changes its mind and leans out into her house.
Several Mileses peer curiously at the door for a glimpse into this strange world, but although he is also curious, Stalas keeps eating candy instead.
Eventually she shuts the door.
"Furball nopes all the good wish ideas, says that soul gems are only a little more durable than random rocks of similar size and physical destruction will absolutely do the job of killing attached person, and organic body health is useful in most of the usual ways for everyday purposes even for people who are technically soul gems."
"Does that mean you would like some cozy health of your very own?" asks Stalas, accepting his first Life Fruit from Sable.
"Come over here and have some, then," says Sable. She slides a red-yellow pair away from the main row on the table to reserve it for Bella. "...Also, if I can get back to Terraria and come back here safely, I could make a pair of wings for anybody who wanted some. I could make a bunch of things, actually, but wings are the one I'm most willing to give away."
