Secrets

The floor's currency: a deity message Carl copies before it vanishes and cannot repeat to Donut; Mordecai's foster children behind a pink bow; Katia's crown and her drugs; a guild job that fails if spoken aloud; Carl's lies at the table with Bautista in the room; a well-worn book a spider finds in his inventory. 'I'm fine,' I lied.
