It is rather early in the morning, but some people are already out and about:
- Asar-Suti is in the garden, trying one magical Ihlini rune after the other from a large, iron-bound, evil-looking grimoire. None of them work: they don't even fill with sizzling purple fire, let alone produce a result. The purple deity is getting more livid by the minute.
- Teja is at the practice grounds, going through the exercises that Ryu Hayabusa taught him. He's been shown how to put them together to actually fight, before Ryu left to face the dangers of his own world; but still, the practice of the parts helps him to focus at the start of each day.
- Tower is leaning on a railing, looking at the lake, drinking a triple espresso and smoking a cigar. He wishes it were a little later in the day; by then, there'd already be pretty women in bikinis to look at, and not only ever clouds and birds and cheerfully waving squid.
