"..."
Akane seemed to get what she was talking about.
"Are you talking about how the chairs at each table are red, green, and blue?"

"Yeah, dat. Smart girl."
Mei smirked.
"Now, what about the chairs in this room? What do you think dey represent?"

"Oh, I think I get it now"
Fox rubbed his head where Mei had whacked him. Girl has a temper.

"So, you think the cyan, magenta and yellow seats are connected to the fact that red and green make yellow, blue and red make magenta and blue and green make cyan."

"Well, whaddya think? Take a look at the colors."
Mei gestured toward the yellow, magenta, and cyan chairs.
"Makes those chairs smell pretty fishy, huh?"

Akane thought about that for a moment.
"But what do you think that means? Maybe we have to... um... sit on them?"

"That is the raison d'etre of the chair."
He moved closer to the chairs
"My question is, who sits on which one?"

Mei crossed her arms.
"Don' ask me. I already gave my theory."

"Were there any other hints in that picture? Could you maybe go check for us?"

Fox recalled what he had seen in the frame of the picture...
- It showed people sitting at three tables in a garden, each draped with white tablecloths. Each table had a red, blue, and green chair. At the first table, two women were sitting in the red and green chairs. At the second table, two men were sitting in the blue and green chairs. At the third table, two other women were sitting in the blue and red chairs.

Fox was thinking hard, he was pretty sure he had an idea of how to do this.
"I remember the painting anyway, I have an idea."

"Ok, so we know the stuff I said earlier, red and blue make magenta etc, right? There were two women in red and green chairs, so yellow. There were another two women in the blue and red chairs, magenta. So that could be you two girls sitting in the yellow and magenta chairs. Not sure on which table yet."
He drifted around a bit
"If Saru, counts as a guy then he and I could be represented by the two dudes in the blue and green chairs, so cyan."
He appeared unsure
"As for brown, well, I think it's red and green, which would give us our last girl, Nona"

Mei interrupted Fox.
"You just said a second ago that red and green was Yellow. And there ain't a brown chair in here anyway."

"What?"
Fox stared at he chair in mute horror. He could have*sworn* the chair was brown when he first saw it. It was like it had magically changed it's colour when his back was turned. No that was ridiculous. He must have just made a mistake, he had been getting pretty riled up.
"I don't... damn. Let me just think about this some more ok? I know I can work this out"

"Okay, let's keep trying. I know we can think of something..."
Akane thought about it patiently too, trying to work out what the answer might be.

"How 'bout this? The red and green table has women, the blue and green table has men, and the blue and red table has women. So we sit Akane in da Yellow chair, you in da Cyan chair, and me in da Magenta chair. You dig?"

"Yeah, I thought about that too, but what about the green chair?"

Mei sighed with a show of annoyance.
"You damaged or something? It's a red herring! Thing doesn't fit into the pattern. Look at 'em."
She pointed at the chairs again.
"We got three secondary colors, and one primary. Green's the odd one out."

"... You mean to say I figured this damn thing out ages ago and the only thing messing me up was a damn red herring?!"
He seemed on the verge of hurling the green chair onto the exit door.

Akane tried to break up the fight.
"Um... shouldn't we see if it works first, before assuming the puzzle's solved?"

"Yeah, Akane is right."
Fox slumped into the cyan chair.

Akane drifted over, and slipped into the yellow chair, hooking her legs around the foothold to stay seated.

Fox felt himself drifting off, so followed suit and hooked on.
