"I was thinking the same thing," Mei agrees. "Paintings or sculptures, which would all be in a gallery, right? But I don't think Lesviel..." she flips back to her map and drags a finger over each area in search of any location of the sort, "...mentioned one? Though we could ask!"

"You could have a commission in an army", Guardok pipes up, blurting out the first thing he thought of without considering the rest of the clue. "Although I guess you don't get an army in a university".

Chara shakes her head quickly, as if to throw off the strange sensation. She looks around at those who have showered her with concern.

"Thanks everyone, I'm fine," she says with an uncertain smile. "I just thought that getting up there would be easiest for me, so I should be the one to do it."

"I'm with the idea of a painting too. So we need to find a gallery." Her nose wrinkles momentarily. "And I'm sure none was mentioned this far. I guess we'll have to ask someone...someone not in the scavenger hunt."

"Ooh, ooh. Is there a place where former students have pictures on the wall? That would have to be huge though, right?", Guardok asks.

"I would think so! Since we know most of what's on the right side of the building, I'd assume it's to the left, but just to be sure..." Mei raises the copper ring to her bottom lip, index finger pointed in the direction they last saw Lesviel. It's a dreamy voice that enters their RA's mind, like a soft whisper in her ear. "Lesviel? Hi! Hello! I hope it's okay I'm Messaging you. We were wondering if there's any kind of, um... alumni art gallery in the Biblioplex? Oh, it's Mei by the way!" 

Mei does not hear any response to her Message. (You sense she's not within 120 ft. in the direction you pointed.)

"I'm sure we'll find this place if we just go looking." The purple-skinned tiefling suggests in a hopefully encouraging tone. "We have visited most of the Biblioplex so lets start with the part over by the gardens that we haven't been at yet."

Oh. Well, she supposes she should’ve seen that coming. Mei’s cheeks grow pink as her hand drops away. 

“I, um, oh! if we’re headed that way, we’ll be passing some areas that I think are answers to the other clues as well, if we wanted to try and tackle those on the way?” Nearly dropping everything again, she gets her sketchbook turned around to show everyone where she’s written her best guesses to the answers. 

She taps the respective locations, the Amphitheater and the Book Gardens, then turns back to her map to show the route they could take. "If, um... if you all think those might be the answers too? I could definitely be wrong!" 

"I'm sure you are right Mei." Malvyn says as he quickly glances at the energetic purple-haired girl's notes in her sketchbook. "We're right by the amphitheatre I guess." He admits a bit reluctantly. The purple-skinned tiefling certainly didn't look forward to meeting the pretentious actor again, but it seemed unavaoidable considering the last clue.

“One can commission plays too. But so long as we can visit the book garden at some point I’m happy”

Guardok looks over Mei's guesses as to the answers to the other clues.

"You have very neat writing Mei", he compliments. "What were the actual clues for 3, 4 and 5?".

Hearing Malvyn's reluctance and Knap's preference, Mei offers, "We could... split up? One group to the amphitheater and the other the book garden?" She adds quickly and with unusually loud insistence compared to her normal volume, "No one should go alone though!" 

Guardok's compliment is a stark contrast to her grandmother's scolding voice in her head over the sloppy script. At his question, her brows crease as she tries to remember the exact wording. "The third was about a free treat if you serve... up the list? The fourth was, uh... something about patting leafy beds that aren't what they seem. Aaaaand the fifth talked about stars being born on opening night?"

"No..." The purple-skinned tiefling says more firmly than intended. "...I mean we should stay together, we are in no hurry as far as I can see, but there might be need for all of us, or some specific member of our group to be present to solve whatever awaits us where we're going." He continues more calmly now, giving Mei a quick weak smile. "Let's start with the amphitheatre."

Mei startles slightly at the firm disagreement then nods fervently. "S-Sorry! Yes, of--of course. That was a bad, um... a bad suggestion." Her gaze falls to her disguised slippers and she holds her sketchbook to her chest as she waits for the group to move towards the grand stage. Following along towards the rear, the stony gazes of past Oracles feel especially heavy on her shoulders. 

Mae will walk next to Mei, put her hand on her shoulder and smile, "I thought it was a fine suggestion. I wouldn't feel too bad." She let the hand drop before heading with the group to the stage and immediately walking onto it as if moving by instinct. She then looked out across the hall and around to see if there was any further help. "What did the clue say again?"

Guardok looks from Mal to Mei, not really understanding how there was suddenly tension when they were engaged in a seemingly fun task.

"No idea is a bad idea, that's what we say in the circus anyway. Of course, some ideas ended up with people getting hurt, so I don't think it is the wisest saying, but I don't think that can happen here", he chimes in helpfully.

He thinks on what Mei had said of the clue, "Perhaps you have to act as though you are being born", he calls up to Mae.

"How about we skip number 2 for now? No point getting blue when we should be looking for that free treat in number 3..? Hmmm? What do ya think? I reckon that’ll be an easy one. Did I hear someone say the biblioplex cafe? We have time to sit and I can try one of those ‘coffees’ everyone’s been talking about. Unless there is another clue to solve on the way I reckon we sort our treat first. The leafy beds can wait."

Mellori is oblivious to any tension and is focused on the clues. She nods at the suggestion that they move on to the third clue. "We can always ask someone on the way where there is a gallery, for either paintings or sculptures." 

Mae makes her way up onto the stage of the Ampitheater. Guardok offering her a suggestion in response to her question about the clue. And Mei follows along clutching her sketchbook. None of you see any sign of Quentillius at the moment. If anyone happens to glance around, you see a couple of the groups wandering around in the eastern stacks.  More than one group is headed for the front entrance of the Biblioplex where the cafe and gift shop is located.  One group even seem to be coming back from there, laughing and joking with each other. 

Knap suggests moving on to other clues with Mellori suggesting asking someone for the location of a gallery.
