Twenty-seven
[Audio; backdated......a while. Not long after Fourth Wall Day.]
Some time ago, when I was travelling on a more....mundane ship than this, the crew arranged a weekly music night - a time for those who wished to perform, and for those who wished to listen, dance, or simply reflect on the week gone by. On a long voyage that we spent in pursuit of an elusive goal, I believe it helped us to feel that we were not so alone. That our lives still went on beyond the tasks we had been charged with.
And so to the Barge! As best I can tell, we have a number of talented musicians on board, and the library provides no shortage of sheet music. I was hoping to learn if anyone could be persuaded to share their gifts with others here, or to come and listen. Or dance! I am sure the Barge is concealing many excellent dancers. Not a performance, just something social.
One night a week - the deck may be best. I think which night will have to change often, subject as it would be to the whims of the Barge, but I believe it would be manageable.
I will brace myself in readiness for your opinions.

Training with a martial arts master, you say? [YES HE SAW THAT.]

Yes, they are. Or very low colour perception.

May I ask, how did your people come to order yourselves in this way? Are there particular abilities granted by high perception besides the thing itself, or...?
no subject
It happened after the Epiphany. I'm not entirely sure, that's what I'm trying to find out. High perception gives you social status, as does the colour you see. I'm a Prefect because I can see a high percentage of Red, for example. And the highest perceptor of Purple is the Head Prefect, usually.
Greys... generally do most of the actual hard work.
