Kiri's up early the next morning, restless with various low-level simmering concerns, and wanders out of her room.

"I will do that, then."

She goes to the bin and starts picking through it.

Aleko helps.

It doesn't take long.

"Three of each exactly," Sarelle concludes. She separates out one each of synthesis, triumph, and time. "And now what remains is neatly divisible by six."

[liakoura]

"Right then. I guess we can distinguish bowls by - weight? And know how many more approximately to pour in. Where are bowls, Loel, we need bowls."

Loel giggles. "I'll go get bowls!"

He goes.

"I don't know why but I expect to be bad at this game," remarks Patience.

"Soon you will be able to find out," says Ekador.

"S'pose so. We should name it, anyway, That One Game With The Blessing Coins is kind of a mouthful."

[pyrophyte]

"I have no suggestions."

[salt_of_the]

"My only idea is terrible, and since Loel isn't here maybe nobody will badger me into saying it anyway."

"As long as you don't mention it again once he's back, you're safe."

[pyrophyte]

"Not that the rest of us aren't curious."

"Insofar as it's possible to do so without insulting Patience, I second her assessment of the idea."

"Trading Post. Blessing Bowls. Everybody Tries To Trade For Flexibility Because It's In Half The Sets."

"And intelligence, clarity, imagination, and power have two appearances each. An interesting selection we are."

[calescent]

"I have all duplicate blessings. You'll be able to make a Kiri set out of leftovers," snorts Kiri.

"I brought bowls!" announces Loel from the door. He enters, bearing a stack of bowls.

[calescent]

"Hurray for bowls. Anything else we need to figure out before we start trying to play - I think I like Blessing Bowls best of Aleko's ideas?"

[free_flowing]

"Not bad," says Loel. "I think we've covered everything."

[pyrophyte]

"Who starts?" inquires Ekador. "And in what order do we proceed?"

[liakoura]

"For no particular reason except that I am the first person to try to come up with an answer to that question I shall go first and I'm gonna arbitrarily say that we go widdershins from there."

[pyrophyte]

"Very well."

[liakoura]

Aleko starts trying to pour equal quantities of coins into each bowl.
