Theme: sink — sinking: the drawing settles and gathers toward the bottom of the wall
Every hand is a cell of its own: a pentagon placed near the others, touching none. On its turn a hand moves one of its corners, adds a corner in the middle of an edge, removes a corner, asks another cell to join one of its corners to one of that cell's corners, or releases a joined corner. A request is answered by the other cell on its next turn: accept or decline. Accepted, the two corners become one, and the cell that accepted moves it for both. Two joined corners side by side make a shared wall. Cells may never overlap.
