At some time in the recent past someone had decided to brighten the ancient corridors of the University by painting them, having some vague notion that Learning Should Be Fun. It hadnโt worked. Itโs a fact known throughout the universes that no matter how carefully the colors are chosen, institutional decor ends up as either vomit green, unmentionable brown, nicotine yellow or surgical appliance pink. By some little-understood process of sympathetic resonance, corridors painted in those colors always smell slightly of boiled cabbageโeven if no cabbage is ever cooked in the vicinity.

Your lucky food is small cucumbers. People pointing knives at you are probably up to no good. PS, we really mean it about the druids.
