Fifty-Sixth Theory [Action]
((Forward-dated to Sunday the 26th, after the village has cleaned up from the ice storm.))
[That was a good last try, Winter, but you are rapidly losing your hold over this ectotherm. He was trapped in C5 for several days, after Luke Skywalker’s guests shook off their movie-marathon stupor to realize they were iced in, but since making it safely back to House 55 he’s been increasingly alert and moving around with greater purpose.]
[Today he put on his heated snowsuit and struck out across the snowy village to the library. He had found this puzzle-box among his things, and he wants to work on it without his housemates hanging over his shoulders.]
[He also wants to strike up a conversation with anyone who so much as glances at him. Cold weather and semi-torpor don’t present many opportunities for socializing, and the normally-quiet Turtle has a lot of pent-up conversation in need of an outlet. It won’t be at his normal intellectual level, but it should at least be better than it has been in recent weeks.]
((Feel free to help Don with the puzzle-box, but I don’t want it to be opened yet.))

It's a Japanese puzzle-box. The only way to open it is by sliding the pieces the right way.

H-how... how can I help?

Try it. You can't do any worse than I'm doing myself.
