When I was looking at the box, I should have thought more about what “360 degrees of freedom” meant.

Merle says he’s still saving up for the Flaming Raging Poisoning Sword of Doom, setting up the entire scene. There is a moment where Griffin off-handedly mentions the Slicer of T'pire Weir Isles (pronounced like tupperware), which can be exchanged for someone’s most valuable item with a high enough persuasion roll.

Magnus takes a while deciding what he wants, giving everyone enough time to forget about both the Sword and the Slicer. Griffin brings out Garfield to get some more of Magnus’s… bodily materials, quietly setting up for the end of The Suffering Game, where he’d presumably die. Meanwhile, Justin has been silent this whole time, buying his time.

Then it’s Taako Time.

He keeps his poker voice while buying both the Slicer and – and Griffin himself brings up, which adds to the comedy of the scene as he fails to notice the trap he’s about to waltz into – Rickle Axage’s Pocket Guide to Adventuring, Third Edition, which gives the whoever reads it a temporary advantage on rolls of a single skill.

I can hear Justin keeping his voice deliberately monotone as he says Taako reads the guide for persuasion.

And then.

Taako: “I have one more transaction I need to conduct.

Garfield: “Okay.”

Taako: “Garfield.”

Garfield: “Yes?”

Taako: “I have something that I think is really gonna interest you.”

*beat*

Griffin McElroy, his very soul trembling with realization: “OH MY GOD.”

The US government is targeting people just for reporting on what is being done to migrants and how the situation is, including activists.

Disappointed that they caved to fan pressure and went with Ruth Bader Ginsburg over Elena Kagan.
