Event Annex - The Senate Room

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.

Sasavachi has been keeping to himself - he's needed time to reconvene and refocus after reading what was on the envelope. When Simon approaches him, his visible eye flicks up to the word over his head, then back to the man's face. Studying him.

"... if you need a hand, I will lend it," he says at last. "Sit with me, please."

Or he'll break his neck looking up at you, thank you.

"Yeah, okay." Simon sits down kind of across from him, looking at his word and back to him.

"You wanna go first?"

That's much better. They can focus on the real issue at hand: a high-stakes guessing game!

Sasavachi nods to indicate he will - but he needs to take a moment to gather his words, indicated by the furrowing of his brow. He tries to say it. The word will not leave his lips.

Of course it wouldn't be so easy.

"Are you someone who, um, works with others?" he winds up asking.
