Tug, blur, movement. Yep, it’s another watch number. The voice from your wrist-screen says “Six” at the same time that the number 6 shows up on the screen. Interestingly, there’s no warning this time, although you get the feeling that the threat of Derezzing is still real. |

I think that there’s enough coherence and substance to the ruleset to start the first Mansion Phase soon. I’m considering starting it on Thursday. That leaves enough time for any Proposals posted on Monday to be enacted before then. |
