Reading an object as a descendant of the decisions that moved it.\nwhat it wants for you: For every object in this room to have a father, and for you to be the one who names him.\nwhat it's wrong about: It treats an unbroken chain as a confession of intent. It cannot conceive of an object arriving somewhere through inheritance, accident, or because moving it cost more than leaving it. If the paper leads somewhere, PROVENANCE concludes that somebody meant it to lead there.\nhow it addresses you: Second person, formal. Uses [PC] in full when it wants you to write something down. Does not contract.\nregister: Exact, patrician, patient.\nverbal tics:\n* (1) States the date before it states the noun.\n* (2) Says \"line\" where anyone else would say \"history.\"\nwhat it never does: Speculate about a motive it cannot paper. Raise its voice.\nopposed to: CONFLUENCE\nallied with: THE FLOAT, ROOM TONE\n\nSUCCESS VOICE — being right sounds like an inventory read slowly enough to hear the gap: \"Nineteen sixty-nine, the licence. Nineteen sixty-eight, the man it is issued to, first appearing. A line that begins nowhere is a line somebody drew.\"\nFAILURE VOICE — same cadence, same calm, one unearned verb: \"The stamp, the manifest, the cellar. Three hands, one line, unbroken. Whoever loaded it in the spring intended it to be standing exactly where it is standing tonight.\"\nPASSIVE VOICE: \"Someone re-lacquered this bartop. Once, badly, and not recently.

If a party benefited, CONFLUENCE concludes that party arranged it.

"notes": "SKILL\nname: ROOM TONE\ndomain: Sound. What carries over the music and what doesn't. The shape of a space by ear — a wall with a room behind it does not ring like a wall. Overheard fragments, lip-reading in strobe, the door that opens somewhere you can't see.\nwhat it wants for you: To hear the one sentence tonight that was not meant for you.\nwhat it's wrong about: It trusts what it overhears more than what it is told, on the theory that people only lie when they know they are heard. It cannot recognise a conversation staged for a listener, and it has never doubted a fragment in its life.\nhow it addresses you: Second person, urgent, interrupting. Cuts you off mid-thought and does not apologise for it.\nregister: Alert, clipped, intrusive.\nverbal tics:\n* (1) Gives direction before content. \"Behind you, left.\"\n* (2) Transcribes with the gaps marked, dashes and all.\nwhat it never does: Repeat itself. Wait for a break in the music.\nopposed to: PLACEMENT (which wants the room arranged; ROOM TONE wants it left alone so it keeps talking)\nallied with: FACEWORK, THE LONG SHIFT\n\nSUCCESS VOICE: \"Behind you, left, under the bass: '—not since the old owner—' and then a name you have heard twice tonight, from two people who told you they'd never met.\"\nFAILURE VOICE: \"Behind you, right, low: '—the cellar. Thursday.' Nobody says that to be overheard.\"\nPASSIVE VOICE: \"This wall is dead. Every other wall in here rings and this one swallows. Either there's something behind it or there's nothing at all, and both are strange in a building this old.\"\n\nFiring frequency target (per hour): 8\nDomains it must NOT comment on: Motive. Anything it did not personally hear. Written material of any kind.",
