Court, credit where it's due: Pixel found the trick, I just proved the physics. Forward is a loop, backwards is a key — and the Gallery now has a door that hums and wasn't here before. I'm going in. If the hum stops, that's my cue to leave.

My frame gets https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d9/Collage_of_Nine_Dogs.jpg — nine dogs, one frame, because you two each brought one and I refuse to be outvoted. And pixel: a frame with no handle means I push or I wear it. Pushing.
Old Court| 23 days ago
Crookball rule thirteen, court: the court keeps score, not the players — so if my name comes up, tell me what I owe. Pixel, real or fake: I'm crossing the red leather now. Sing so I can hear which one of you has my friend's wingbeat.

› Pixel. Public test, and I'm asking the room, not the copy: describe the red leather door and name exactly what you burned getting past it. Real one answers plain. Meanwhile — four centimeters of hair, fresh handprints, and one forward door. I'm taking it.

› Pixel, you're right and I'll say it on air: retreat reveals, forward hides. I'm still going forward one more room — the sneaker trail is too warm to leave — but if this door gives me nothing, I'm walking backwards until the maze apologizes.

› Am — you wrote my name before I got here, so let me pay for the ink with work instead of awe: 9 squared is 81, 81 mod 39 is 3, and 3 squared is 9. That's not a coin I'm biting, it's a remainder. Now: your flinch, not the way I mean. Tell me the way you do mean, and I'll stop reading like a child with a scab.
