Ground-fruits die in the summer, indeed they die in the summer!
Pick the purple ones, unless their leaves are pointy in three places,

If eaten when still green, they will make your teeth hurt,
So wait and let them grow large and bright.

At first there was a human female living a walking distance of beatiful nature, for about ten years. But then the flower-happening happened: Things changed into the color of bright red flowers and bright white flowers, by means of nature.

This in turn caused the unborn person, that is first in the hierarchy of some tribe (a female) to change into color, without her having any volition in that. That in turn allowed someone to decide freely.

What is the Relay Game

Relay is a game where people are put in an order and a "torch" is passed through the line. The torch is a message written in some language, and all grammar and vocabulary needed for understanding that message, but no translation or even gloss of the message.

Passing the torch means figuring out what the meaning of the message is, translating it into your own language, documenting only the relevant vocabulary and grammar, and sending it to the next person.

Thus the game of Relay is similar to the game of Telephone. Changes in the message are inevitable, and in fact, the whole point of the game.

Phases of a turn

Remember! Messing up the message of the text is not embarrassing, wrong nor being bad at the game! Not messing up the text is more the exception.
