Pius Fidelus: The Oque

[El_Frenchie]

Turn 7.2, Group 13, Ark

The trio's names are Uvst, Pktarb and Mevstk. They, however, do not understand what this congratulating is or why you would do it.

Ark explains congratulating is a method to encourage a behaviour, to promote or make it happen more often. In this case, he is congratulating them because he wishes Uvst Pktarb and Mevstk to not let go of this behaviour. He tells them they should congratulate the others when they think they have done something beneficial to the group and it would still be beneficial to do it again.

He then explains the branch process, climbing up a decently sized tree (not big enough that Ark might hurt himself seriously falling) and climbs upwards. He shows the Oque how they cannot bend the trunk. Then as he climbs more and more, he repeats the process until at the very top, the tip seems to bend under the strength exerted. If he is able, he will crack the top bit of the tree.

Ark then shows the Oque something. Going to a child tree that he knows will grow taller, he takes a stick and traces an "X" on the ground the tree is standing. Taking small bits of rocks, he fills the "X" shape and then puts some more gravel in a pile where the X stands. He accumulates the rocks until the whole trunk of the sapling is covered in a mountain of pebbles.

Mysterious as always, he tells them Akam will make sense out of it for them, intriguing them for the next step to take. Otherwise, until the end of 7.2, Ark will use story-telling to emphasize once more responsibility.
