Managaratha finds Diomarch to renew the shrinking spell.  

Gale tries to track down leads on Lisidor.  This seems to bring out the “Ah, you’re calling out the House, interesting” results.  Lisidor was a theorist rather than a practitioner, she’d happily spend all day theorizing rather than creating things.  Which is probably how she blew herself up, honestly.  There’s been a bunch of interest in “What can Orange do?” recently that she was probably part of / allied with.  Obviously that’s less important than making good product, and good product doesn’t get you blown up, so personally I don’t put much priority on that.  She was working for a time on whether you can use Creation to do some of the Saurien tricks, in which you need to not have Orange around to make it work.  Can you de-Orangeify your black powder creation to make black powder with Creation?  How do you separate the Fire from the Creation.

Was she working alone, or as part of a Mad Scientist Cabal?
There are other Mad Scientists, not clear they’re actually a Cabal.  The consequence of Creation is wanting to Make things.  i.e., Yes, I Paint in addition to casting Orange magic.  Sometimes that Making turns into a desire to make things that are… more theoretical, or don’t actually exist, so you have to spend a while figuring it out…  In the way that Battle runs to wanting to attack people.

Diomarch talks to the centaurs; the Yellow delegation did come through here on the way to Middlesea.  It did include a group of centaurs, so they’re interested in how centaurs work in Yellow.  Orange and Green don’t have Herds, in the way that Yellow or Red do.  (Purple has the One Giant Herd led by the Head Stallion.)  Centaurs are kind of a separate social stratum in Yellow, Red and Purple.  Yellow they have more ties into the human polity; Yellow herds organize more similarly to the humans, in terms of castes, etc.  Red has less of a united polity overall, but a single Herd might ally with a single Kingdom.  (The Centaurs here speak Common, even with each other, in a way that the Centaurs in Red or Yellow might talk to each other in Centaur.  The Saurians all talk Saurian with each other, but will speak Common when others are around.)  The Centaurs here are all in the Guild, and that is in some way taking the place of being in a Herd.

Managaratha takes a nap.
