Katrin Krabbe (qi-) appears in front of my -eng-set. She cannot enter. A huge CYAN-colored bale of hay blocks the entrance. But no problem for Katrin. She always has her medicine-ball (月) ready. One strong throw and there's nothing more remaining than some CYAN-hay-straws.

ChiChi pulls up at midnight out back of my eng yard in a car with the headlights off. She quickly jumps out of the car and rushes up to a hay bale 龶 and digs a little underneath it to get at a secret cache of magic blue/green moon月 shine marked CYAN ide and leaves her payment of a small sack of sapphires and emeralds. She hurriedly darts back to her car and races off sans lights into the darkness.

Katie is outside the penguin house at the zoo. She is using a bale of hay to make bedding for the outdoor penguins, but she thinks the colors are too boring. So she pulls out a moon and shouts "by the power of the moon I adjure thee!" and boom, the hay is now teal. But then she finds out she has accidentally also turned the penguins teal...whoops

Qin Lan is outside Mt Engadine Lodge dressed in a cyan coloured jacket holding the radio tracker antennae high. It is night, the moon is out and she is ready to track nocturnal animals.

QiQi (qi-) is outside the Engineering Bldg (-ng) ice skating on the tunda while eating a loaf of bread. The moon (月) is shining in the ice making a reflection that is just beautiful because it’s paired with the ice which is a BLUE GREEN CYAN color. She feels so YOUNG and fresh.
