"Bring forth the pineapple ceremonial wand!" bellowed a voice from the fog. It was the Town Oracle, who was neither old nor wise but had an unparalleled ability to juggle flaming torches while reciting obscure poetry. The crowd, a tapestry of laugh and intrigue, erupted in absurd chants that echoed through the mist – fractals of sound swirling into infinity.
