The Queen of Hearts (qi) is playing her guqin (琴) in the encampment's kitchen ((e)n2). She wants to play the music from 200 years ago, so she got a big calendar (今) which shows today's date 200 years ago. On the corresponding calendar page is an image of a 200 year old jewel necklace (玨) which inspires the Queen's music.

The Queen of Hearts (qi) got a little bored on the space station, so she started to play a game of chess (棋) against herself just inside the entrance (Ø2). She was so bored that she also invented new figures like the Christmas tree (木). It moves like the watchtower (其), but with each move it has a 1d20 chance to randomly distribute presents on the board.

Sheldon Shrimp is enjoying a good book in front of the space station. Because he is lazy, he built a thingy to hold the pages in place with a dinosaur bone and two ploughs. He is laying very comfortable on a petal leaf serving as sofa.
