[...]Description summary:
The rest of the description varies depending on which Starved Gifts you are given.
Starved Gifts | Description |
---|---|
1 | One of the Starved[...] offers you a leather bag[...] Press your ear to it[...] you can hear rushing wind.
"A lot of us revere the wind, formless and ever-changing[...] many of us revile it for the same reason.[...]The bag is[...] part of the gift. The leather is home-grown." |
2 | [...] "Please accept this in the spirit it is given," they say hastily. The Starved Man steps forward and vomits a series of jewels from his mouth. [...] "Some of us believe [...] the stomach is more than simply a receptacle for sustenance. Please just take them." |
3 | A Starved Woman flops forward. "She has made a gift of her skeleton," says the [...] Lithologer. "Both to enable anatomical study and to show our own rather flexible attitude towards its containment." An extensive sequence of bones clatter onto the table. |
4 | A Starved Man steps forward [...] "He has spent [...] time learning your language, though [...] he lacks a mouth in the standard location." [...] his hand, though, buzzes with [...] mouths.
"He wishes to explain some [...] cultural fixations over the course of a long handshake." [...] |
5 | A bored-looking Starved Man plonks a cauldron of amber onto the table. "Amber..." says the [...] Lithologer, looking to their compatriot for substantiation. "...is very important to us. [...]" The Starved Man shrugs and shambles to the back of the group. |
6 | The Starved Man places a blue lump [...] "Every change he has made [...], he has documented in the amber, along with his reasons for doing so. [...]" He adds a second lump. "This one is blank. He hopes, if you feel inspired, that you might follow his example." |
