Owl to Stephen Maturin, with a Jell-O Pudding Pop clutched in one talon. The owl contains the following "note":



Clearly, it is an invitation to Homsar's office!

Oh, if only Stephen had known the meaning of that term. As it was, he could not be entirely certain it was really a word. Still, the magical Scrabble board permitted it, so he offered no argument.

He had a new selection of tiles now, always fewer than Homsar's. He thought for some time, confident that Homsar would be patient, and pondered his next move.

Something within his mind was beginning to shift, slightly and slowly, dislodged by that word Homsar had spelled. Intent on his letters, he did not feel it.

To the first of the occurrences of the letter A in Homsar's new word, Stephen added some of his own tiles, spelling:

AWRY

Stephen regarded the board curiously. Stave it off? Homsar had spelled not one but three words, without spaces between them, and Stephen was unsure how to proceed from here. Was it even legal, under the rules of Scrabble? Homsar's Scrabble board was a law unto itself.

Shaking off the confusion, he tried to think of a new word to spell with his own tiles. Yet his mind was not clear, suddenly. And then something happened very like what Homsar's Scrabble board had done at the end of the game Stephen had seen played on it before (http://community.livejournal.com/hogwarts_hocus/698129.html?thread=33972753#t33972753): from somewhere indeterminate, a song (http://www.lyricsdir.com/the-cure-labyrinth-lyrics.html) could be heard. This time, no letters spun into the air, no rhinoceros was summoned. There was only the music.

Stephen could only stare at the board, and at Homsar, and then back again at the board.
