What he was doing instead of thinking was thinking about. No associated analysis. No careful introspection or curiosity. Just detached staring into his own head.
This, he realized suddenly, was what it was like to remember a mundane thing--an unimportant memory. It was thinking without thinking. It was thinking without feeling.
A novel idea.

He thought about Licraesa.
He thought about strangers sinking their fists into strange beasts.
He thought about hello... hello... and errors on Line 13.
He thought about crumbling bedspreads and tattered curtains.

Just like before, it seems someone stowed the blessings in the giftshop. Time for another game of hopscotch!

He thought about the yawning heights of the Wall.
He thought about the fog-barbed figure tsking its way through the streets amidst the onslaught of blows.
He thought about the row of empty pedestals.

Stepping on a loose plank, Wyng windmills until she can get her balance back.

He thought about acid rain.
He thought about blue pendants and the heft of a pistol in his hands.
He thought about Coyote, grinning.
He reached out and took his blessing.
He lay in the dirt for a second, closing and opening his fingers. And then he rose, covered in dust, to follow his own footsteps back out the door. There was someone else here now. He barely paid them any heed.

Wyng was having a little too much fun hopping on one foot to really care that she was crossing the floor really slowly.

Wyng decided that the time for games was over and started crossing the floor more quickly.

She continued picking her way across the floor, until she was almost to the orbs, only a couple steps away.

Finally, Wyng makes it to the orbs and looks over the two she does not have. Remembering her thrilling roller coaster ride, she grabs that orb and leaves the way she came, waving back at the other orb, knowing she'd be back for it tomorrow.

The only thing she could find was a coaster. It took her a while before Mnezara finally sat, arms folded. The ride was agonizingly slow, however, and she wished it would go faster.
2 - The coaster creaks forward a few feet, but you find yourself moving at a glacier pace, everything slow and creaky. Still, it is moving, at least... (success)

It seemed as though the only way forward was to climb atop these...swings.
A rusted chain whipped her in the face and she fell.

She avoided the chains on her second climb upwards.
