Adventure(hah)1:

It begins with the late night arrival of Lia in the stables beneath Tenochtitlan, Naknuk a priest of Gum has recently enrolled a Mastodon into the care of the stablemasters. Mercutio and Victor both have upcoming dealings with the Learnings Institute of Gnometek Higher Technologies

A dream of cosmic proportions happened to be shared by Lia, Naknuk, Mercutio, and Victor, a vision of the cosmos flying by, slowly centering on the blue globe often known as Earth, white stripes bandied about the earth seemed to be centered on a point to the east... Awakening.

Victor goes to work as usual, Mercutio heads to the textiles merchant to pick up his replacement lab coat, and Naknuk travels to the stables where Lia is skulking about, to pay the stablemaster, and pay him a visit. The office read "will return shortly" for a time, and Naknuk was able to perceive that the stablemaster and his wife were having a dispute, the wife wished to travel outside of Tenochtitlan, while the Stablemaster insisted it was pure lunacy, which it sort of is, due to the rampant dinosaur problem of ... y'know, the whole planet. However, being a priest, offering marital counseling is one of Naknuks duties to his deity, and thus he knocked upon the door and gained entrance, as well as was able to "invite" the stablemaster's wife, on his next excursion, in which he was most assured to once again see the beasts with the six... I mean sixteen, inch teeth. Needless to say, she's rethinking her desires to travel.

Lia decided to flee the stables before being caught, and snuck aboard the lift to upper Tenochtitlan with Naknuk. It happened to be the day of the mass religious procession of "Celebrate all holidays day" and after exiting the lift, they were swept along to the west, to the merchants sector, passing the university, and happening to see an escape route, that led Lia crash bang on her butt right into Mercutio. Mercutio being a gentleman, and Naknuk being a priest, both offered aid to the fallen lady, before getting swept up in a conversation comparing their staves. After a brief conversation, Naknuk decided to agree to a feast of the Badger, after slightly spilling his "odd dream" in his own revolutionary terms. Victor... being god of sound in mortal form(heh) was able to hear and deduce this dialogue, as well as track the ticking of Mercutio's arm to Naknuk's home on the upper Residential Quad.

Deciding to offer a free meal to Lia and Mercutio, Naknuk buys a chicken... a very large chicken, and heads home to prepare a meal, barely making it in time to cut ahead of the procession as it wends its way back to the temple south of the Residential Quad.

Victor sensing his chance to ask about the peculiar dream mentioned by Naknuk, arrives while Naknuk discusses the feast of the Badger with the others. The ragtag group has various conversation, as well as lining up a job for Mercutio, Naknuk is on the way to determining he needs a Badger to revere for the feast.

Naknuk and Lia in the Temple with the Badger, Mercutio and Victor at home(s?).

(Note, work done in the industrial sector is done late third shift, so that goods are deliverable to their vending points/merchants just as the merchants are arriving for work, keeping the level of 'yucky air' to a minimum for all, especially those nearest the industrial sector(the Merchant Sector))
