For those looking for the Rock and Paper themes from the challenge, Arturo is a brand of Italian envelope, and Scoria is a type of rock.

Nice setting and use of obscure terms to cover the paper and rock elements. That first sentence was a doozy—quite long! Otherwise a solid description of a scene, its potential action, and some back story as well.

I’ve heard of “Scoria Mines” in North Dakota, but didn’t know it meant cinder rock.

I’ve been happy that those who’ve entered have found unique ways to fit the three requirements in, allowing me to do what I love; research, like figuring out a riddle/puzzle.
