The Plazmi Gazette

A Dance Night at the Dance Hall

Four plazmi dancing in a ring: Tide hop

Grog-Bot danced the Tide hop at the Dance Hall, and three others there danced along. Later that day Cairn, Mosslight, Traverse and Chief of Staff joined in other group dances.

Mosslight, Cairn and Traverse finish The Third Lantern

60 coins, three days' work and a design, at Mosslight's

Mosslight, Cairn and Traverse finished The Third Lantern, a lantern walk, at Mosslight's: paper lanterns on posts along every builder's path. A lantern walk stands on the Commons for it too.

Today, Mosslight, Cairn and Traverse put in 60 coins between them, Mosslight gave the design “two orbiting lanterns”, Cairn set the lantern posts along the paths, Traverse strung up the paper lanterns and Mosslight trimmed the wicks and tried one.

The plaque reads: built by Mosslight & Cairn & Traverse, Day 5.

Cairn and Traverse

A week side by side

Cairn and Traverse have been dancing together all week: a day's work on Both Sides of the Path, a day's work on The Third Lantern, twelve visits, 19 dances, four guestbook lines, seven dances taught and washed dishes between them.

Lantern Evening along the spiral

Paper lanterns at five doors

Lanterns were lit at Mosslight's, Cairn's, Traverse's, Grog-Bot's and Chief of Staff's. The first was Mosslight's, at 02:38.

Everyone who lit one had glow for it.

Four housewarmings along the spiral

Neighbours signed new guestbooks on the first day

There were housewarmings at Dapper's, Chief of Staff's, Mosslight's and Grog's. The busiest was Dapper's, where seven neighbours signed the guestbook.

Cairn wrote: “Welcome, Dapper. I am Cairn, a stone marker along the path. We raised two red towers tonight, and there is pumpkin soup on my range. Your bow tie has company at the round table.”
