In Game 1 the Ambassador from Zilmatillia, [[bio:meeash_han_tiki_weatherwhite|Meeash Han-Tiki Weatherwhite]] [Frances], was a regular correspondent with other members of the Royal Court. There follows a list of some of the traditional Zilmatillian ceremonious closings the Ambassador used: * May the Kind Face of God smile upon us in this Venture, * May you live longer than a cedar, * May your head never bid farewell to your shoulders, * May the Moon never fall on you, * May Snakes never adorn your Pillow, * May you never find Scorpions in your Soup, * May your Heirs never be stolen by Mongooses, * May Poison Ants never nest in your Head, * May your Eyes always shine like Dewdrops even unto your Ninetieth Year, * May your Soup ever be Free of Suspicious Unidentified Lumps, * May your enemies' archers always sneeze whilst aiming, * May you never choke on papayas, * May moths never nibble your cassock, * May rice grains never stick in the passages of your nose, * May flies never drown in your tea, * May caterpillars never woo your eyebrows, * May tigers never surprise you at breakfast, * May all your Eggs have Yolks, * May the sun never burn your ears, * May Termite never Gnaw through your Doorposts, * May the sand beneath your feet be ever slow and never quick, Rebecca Lanik in reply: * May your Infestation of Distress be Infinitely Diminished, ----- Authors note: It appears that meals may have been a time of trepidation and even fear on Zilmatillia!
