Envoy, short on funds, left behind by her airship, and stranded in Safar, takes an odd job and capers around in a costume as "Cris Creen", advertising a theme park. A collie Gallah cub gives Envoy quite a bit of trouble, but Vielanika the Eeee bard arrives and intervenes on the part of the "creen". Vielanika asks if there are any ships headed for the City of Hands, and finds out that it is Envoy in the costume. Vielanika indicates that because Envoy can't finish her contract on the airship, she may well lose her membership in the Bards' Guild. However, she gives Envoy two coppers to help her get an airship ticket. Envoy decides to at least finish up her day's work as "Cris Creen" before finding a way back to Rephidim.
