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.

Yep. He just waved at them. Isn't he supposed to be the most knowledgeable being in his own universe or something?

(Having knowledge, it seems, says nothing of how to use it.)

"As long as he keeps it to himself, it'll be fine. But if his word has any merit, we'll have to see how that actually goes." She sighs. "I don't--- I don't want to avoid consequences for what I've done. It was wrong. But I had to. I'll answer for it as best as I can without throwing myself on the sword. Just back me up if things get too bad."

"I believe him." And if he proves her an idiot for it, she'll smack him up the head later, so long as they both survive. "He— told me to take it, if someone gets to him first. But I'm not letting that happen if I can help it. Just like I'm not letting anything happen to you."

She'll back her up. Like she always has. Horrible as it is that she had to kill a man, Daisy doesn't care. Her people come first.
