After rolling two natural ones… Jackie gets apprehended for cheating, and pulled to the side - Squee can't calm down after fighting the quartz stone, and Jackie kneels down and calms him down, pulling a shin out of his ear - Colours, frequencies; someone in charge of the pattern at the cardinal points - Like [rangolis](https://mymodernmet.com/rangoli-indian-folk-art/) or mandalas - People are sent in different directions - We are put in a larger column of people (±50 people each) - Then put into different sub categories > A, B, C - Squee just walks into C. - Venus bamphs into it via teleport cypher - Jackie fails yet another roll, but gets sorted into C. - Leaders… - Person with harlequin pattern & paisley & gingham… loud! - Others, different archetypes - Leaders fight over Squee - Shin obligations… eagle scout final project… peace corp? - Absolve a wrong, make a right… - Squee goes towards the paisley one and basically just agrees to go with their team. - Paisley says to Jackie they both know they are bullshitters, but that they recognized what Jackie did (both scanning the crowd, and calming Squee). Says they're connected, and it's clear there is value for them to be together. - Their name is [[Divine Nex]]. They introduce themselves, an aerosaltant - Ruby Rod, PT Barnum… an acrobat, a philosopher, snake oil salesman - Venus and Jackie have been assigned to [[Divine Nex]]; Squee has been assigned to the big brute. - Squee plants his feet and starts getting upset. - [[The Patriarch]] comes and settles him down, putting him on [[Divine Nex]]'s team
