Quelenna finds a bonfire, and gets rid of the card deck which has the card that says "ribet" (that Dryali put ages ago with magical tinkering). At the end of the prayer, she says "Good Riddance!" As a result, Dryali gets a magical tinkering slot back; he immediately knows what happened, and remembers it is Apastron! He starts going through all the junk in his room and also his Handy Haversack, but in the end thinks almost everything is useful but the never-used climber's kit, which he sells back to the quartermaster. Tuala, seeing Dryali's efforts, cleans his super-messy quarters and donates some obsolete books to a nearby library.
Cathance realizes she has 17 extra rations, which have been taking up increasing space in her backpack & saddlebags, so she goes to the bonfires where there are less affluent people and distributes them. Kaelani goes with her, and purges his old clothes that don't fit anymore at the bonfire.
Tai went to the park where, ages ago, he'd been on a mission to stake out a dead drop. Today they have a bonfire going where the bold were competing downwind for the longest-held breath. There, he enjoys an apastrami sandwich, before participating in the breath-holding contest.
