Strolling along Takoba Beach, Samuel stumbled (perhaps literally) upon some boxed parts of a rocking chair. Happily, he hauled it out of the sand and brought it back to the Merlaut, where he begins to assemble it. The instructions are gibberish, as expected, but at least the pictures are clear. And while... engineering? carpentry? isn't his specialty, he's an intelligent man, he can figure it out.

Eventually, the chair seems complete, and he stands back to look at his handiwork. There are a few extra screws, but he can't find anywhere to put them, so surely they're just that -- extra, in case some get lost? Either way, he turns around to cautiously take a seat. Just as he fully rests his weight on the chair, though, trusting it to hold him up... the whole thing collapses.

Samuel gives a small yelp of surprise as he falls into the pile of wood pieces -- thankfully unharmed, only momentarily stunned -- but once he's able to catch his breath and realize what happened... he laughs.
