Looking down at the sword from where you are, you see the runes inverted in the polished blade's reflection.

##use quill to write inverted runes in sand

You move over to the northwest pillar and write in the sand. When you are finished, a gust of wind suddenly rises up around the pillar. The sand in the bowl is blown smooth and flat once again.

Do the runes look the same from the north as from the south?

You look at the sword's reflection from the north, by the bowl of sand. Inverted and reflected in the sword's blade, the runes appear as such:

I'm willing to use my turn thinking about something, if anybody can think of anything to think upon, but also, we could be asking the person who supposedly has an unlimited think ability to be helping us out with that.

You need to write something in the sand. Standing by the sand, you see inverted reflected runes on the sword blade.

For the sake of clarification, you can ##think about something multiple times. Don't feel like you got the one and only hint for something by thinking about it once.

If you look at the runes from the bowl of sand in the blade's reflection, they are both reflected and inverted.

Anyway forgive me if I'm not exactly willing to leap on somwbody's sword here, and being frank the utter lack of conversation around today's vote is starting to feel scummy as hell in its own right. I still say yuming makes the most logical sense but damned if Hal being so puzzle-focused doesn't strike me as weird when we should also be trying not to lose the Mafia game. :colbert:

I'm glad yuming got the boon this time - I had copped her as town N1. The boon from that day also gave role name along with alignment.
I copped Opop as town last night

I think if there's no scum shanigans like a busdriver or godfather that leaves scum as YPM or MSRR (assuming 2 scum / 7 town?)
