*One charm for each destiny Down among the Lorn-Flukes - I tried matching string color and nodule so they’d be like bookmarks guiding you to your destiny–but I overrefine. (also, don’t throw tiny cave fish at the Outcast :[ it’s already very sad)  

† Exquisite Corpse is where you match words and adjectives or pictures in a flip book, which works very well for the Lorn-Flukes. (tendrils in eyes! swollen hair flex!) 

I only noticed this year that the whole section was exactly thirty-three sentences of three words each, except for when they speak like, damn.
