(ooc: do the mosaics line up with compass directions? Scun will go upstairs and use survival to try to determine that, then come back down.)
Scun also decides to touch a gem twice in succession to see what happens. He presses the gem corresponding to listening to music twice.

depicting a thinking ruminating man, a man receiving a sensual massage, a man listening to music, a man performing an intricate ball-related game, a man dancing, a man recalling memories in a thought bubble, a man watching a play, and a man delivering a speech[/sblock]

*Scun goes outside and determines that the eight mosaics seem to be off the cardinal directions by a bit, but they are spaced evenly, possibly just for symmetry. Touching the gems does nothing. Touching the music mosaic lights up the corresponding gem. Touching it again does nothing--the gem remains lit.*

(OOC: Note that if you don't care to guess the order, there are 8 factorial possibilities. This is tractable to brute force if you set up each character to a mosaic (and a few of the people who can move 40' can cover two. It will take a few days in-character, but we can just skip out-of-character. Or you can think about it out-of-character and try to solve it. I'm leaving you the option based on your preferences)

The man with the probe
Cade emerges to ask the Seer about the Mosaics, since perhaps she can provide some insight. He'll describe them, and ask if she has any idea what they represent.
OOC: If not, Cade wants to try Massage, Ruminating, Listening, Watching, Speaking, Dancing, Playing, Recalling. If that, he'll move massage last.
"The Massage is the only time the man isn't actualy doing anything, I wonder if that's important?"

"I do not know any greater meaning that lies behind them. I can use my Sight to scan the web of fate that forms from threads of all things' ziivash that have been, but I would need to enter to do so, and it is forbidden."
*Cade's orders do not cause anything of note.*

ooc: Im here, nothing happens for a couple weeks, and if i dont respond in 1 day im awol 
still ooc: Trying 8! possibilities would take us 3 weeks, 16hours a day, if it only takes 30seconds per attempt. Even if we get lucky and only take half the time, that's still too long.
"Trying every possibility would take a life time. We should start a system of trying the possibilities, but meanwhile, we should continue to try to solve the riddle. Maybe alphabetical? I read the activities as Ballgame, Dance, Listen, Massage, Ruminate, Speak, Thought, Watch. Why dont we try that order. There are probably a couple variations of that we can try as well."
