A little fir-tree, hunched up against the chill,
And a swallow.
But it can't be.
Not yet!

Whoa, it feels good to stretch my metaphorical legs again partners. Twelve years in the hoosegow. Now, don’t y’all worry – I don’t hold it personal and we’ve done worse time buddy. But, Howdy! It feels nice being above snakes. Indulge me and acknowledge the corn, why y’all let me out . . .

. . . found religion did y’all. Gotta tell y’all, that’s a surprise. Y’all know what they say about praying? It’s not asking, it’s a longing of the soul. I ain’t got a wobbling jaw but here’s the truth. Y’all got no soul. Hate to brake it to y’all, but that’s the rub – it’s all taradiddles. But hey, if y’all want to pretend, I can pretend right there with y’all. Even have a prayer of my own. Now hold my fins, let me say my grace.

Dear Communion, Just let me live my life as I've begun;
And give me work that's open to the Sea;
Make me a pardner of the currents and waves,
And I won't ask a life that's wet or dry.
Let me be easy on the man that's sinking;
Let me be square and generous with all.

Amen.

Here that last bit, partners? I’m a reformed sub-routine. Don’t y’all worry your pretty heads over me. I’m going to be square and generous with y’all. That’s me right there with a T – but here’s another truth. Best way to stop a bag a nails is being the deuce. Y’all let me out so y’all know that’s right. Not gonna crawl anybody’s hump, but if y’all wanna keep the faith y’all gotta be able to tell people to pull in their horns – and the gumption to back it up

Uncounted actions for the sake of Stat Gain next round:

Region Controls: 4
Units: 10

Cultural Exchanges:
Shark People
Gravetenders
Shifting Ennead

Tech:
Electrodialytic Staurozoa

Child of Pearl Abilities:

1) Actions that did not contribute for a stat gain in a round are counted for the sake of stat gain in the round after;
2) Children of Pearl may choose to perform two Special 5 Actions rather than one when using a Special 10 opportunity for the purpose;
3) Once per Round, a Child of Pearl may spend 1 Treasure in order to either: use their previous ruler’s attribute score in place of their own for a roll, with a penalty to the roll equal to the number of rounds since their last ruler change; OR roll twice for an action or resistance roll and use the better result (Treasure costs associated with such a roll are doubled).
