==The Court of Apes== ''This is where you belong. A man in military trousers reads a newspaper. A masked gorilla holds a sheaf of documents written on banana leaf. On the wall is a sign that says, "Everything in its place." When you read it a second time, it says, "The Queue Forms to the Right." This is where you belong.''<br><br> <big>'''Trigger conditions'''</big><br> [[File:Pairofeyes icon.png|23px]] [[Known in the House of Days]] β₯ 10 <br> <big>'''Interactions'''</big> {| class='ss-table' style='width:100%;' !style='width:15%;'| Actions !style='width:30%;'| Requirements !style='width:40%;'| Effects !style='width:15%;'| Notes |- | {{effect title|Lurk near the Court of Apes}} <div>You may wish to observe its protocols.</div> | <ul> </ul> | <span style='color:white'>'''Those going in '''</span> <div>This Court attends to apes and monkeys, to humans, and to certain orders that appear similar to humans. It issues Testaments of the Feather, when the attendants think another Court should listen to someone's rightful claim.

It shakes hands with the Ape to its left and the Ape to its right: grave courtesy from gorilla to chimp, from chimp to woman, from woman to gibbon. At last, Ape 2047 may approach the window. You perform your handshakes. The attendant holds the lease close to the eyeholes of its mask. Finally its voice-jar speaks. "Clarifications on existing contracts go to the Court of Mules. You will need a Testament of the Feather to be heard there." It hands the lease back and summons Ape 2048.</div> <ul> * [[File:devilshell icon.png|23px]] [[Involved in a Rental Dispute]] = 30 <span style='color:#C03060;'>[</span><span style='color:white;'>Go to the Court of Mules in the House of Days to argue about contract terms</span><span style='color:#C03060;'>]</span><p></p> </ul> | |- | {{effect title|A Rental Dispute: Begin renegotiating the Embassy's lease}} <div>Take a number.

But no sooner do you get there than the attendant clicks angrily. "No boons, favours, requests or solicitations are honoured from persons with a Clear soul!" it snaps, as though you ought to know this already.

One by one the others in the Court of Apes offer you these ambitions, and then they go to the window and meet with the creature that presides. Every one bows to its edict.

You will only need to bring a message from me..." says the attendant, proud of his generosity. All the trouble of your case will land on someone else. The attendant inscribes the Testament of the Feather in clay and bakes it with the glare of his will.
