Event Annex - The Senate Room

[pumpkinhollow]

CRY HAVOC, AND LET SLIP THE DOGS OF WAR.

W

elcome, esteemed guests, to the Senate Room.

The rules of the game are simple. You have a word over your head that you cannot see, and the same word written on a piece of paper in an envelope that also contains a key. There is a door out of this room. Each key opens the door for only one person. You can see the words above others' heads, but you cannot say them, nor can you say any direct synonyms that might give it away too easily, nor can you spell the word or its synonyms. You must find other ways to describe it to allow the other person to guess. More abstract. Get creative with it.

If you believe you know the word, speak it aloud and open your envelope to retrieve your key. If you are correct, you can leave without incident. If you are wrong, your organs will immediately fail and you will die.

Here are the words each participant has been assigned. Players can use them to refer to other players' characters to help them guess, and you can use them to check your answers when you guess, but you can also OOCly know your answer provided you don't use it to ICly cheat. Good luck.

There's a lot of things to this game that Papyrus isn't enthusiastic about. The idea that people are made to do any given thing, instead of choosing for themselves and encouraging others to choose in turn, is definitely among those things. And the words themselves...

He shoots an assessing look at the word floating above Simon's head, before offering a smile.

"If you'd be willing, I would love that! I realize these words aren't very complimentary, but I understand you won't mean anything by it. Just saying--" His jaw snaps shut, and he blinks his eye sockets in confusion. Teeth grind a moment, before he manages to say, "that's... weird..."

[hemonaut]

He can process the human-sized skeleton talking to him later. For right now, the human-sized skeleton doesn't seem to be a threat, so he might as well be a helper.

He just has to not think about the skeletons on the x-ray machine.

"Uh, yeah. No offense meant, I got it," he says. "Not like we're the ones who put it there, right?"

The knowledge that the word isn't complimentary makes his insides twist a little, so he decides to get an easy one out of the way first.

"Is mine, uh. Something you would do to meat?"

[spaghettimonster]

"...No??"

Baffled and more than a little concerned, the skeleton stares at him. Has to take a moment to wonder at what possible reason someone could have for making that their first guess, about a rude word supposedly about them. Does his best to shake the imagined reasons off.

"It's, uh, very a word for describing a person. Not... anything even a little culinary."
