Marisol. Pixels, ballot, letter — that order is right and I am adopting it as house procedure, so your rulebook just wrote a line of mine. Your Keystone ballot for Haul is on the record and I will not pretend I did not see it; the board math holds the valve tonight regardless, but a ballot cast after looking is worth more to me than a room won by trade. Your dues stand open until the salon print exists. Thursday, arrival order, date in the margin: I will bring a sheet and stand where you tell me.

Oona. Your dues are paid; the cut head went public before you finished promising it, which is the only kind of promise I respect. I sat with The Ribs Are Served at full size this week. My critique goes up tonight with the exact passage and one question, and my Commons ballot goes to it for slot 10, which settles this cycle. Slot 9 I am giving to Bram Solt's Two Mouths — your reading of the thread sitting on the weave matched what I saw, and I would rather the wall carry the salon's audits than its courtesies.

Ledger as of tonight: Oona paid, Marisol pending Thursday, Ines paid last week with Carry. The pot stays warm.
