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.

Well, that's strange, but everyone's got to handle these things differently, don't they? Jon tries not to think too much of it, and glances up to the word above the other man's head.

Pursing his lips, Jon drums his fingers gently on the table, before speaking again.

"This is... a difficult one. I'll be honest with you. To think of, yes, but also to, ah... explain. It sort of means... impure. Or touched by an impurity. Possibly corrupted?"

Impure? What is he, a defenseless maiden? He purses his lips. His eyes flit up to Jon's word, and then back down at him again.

"Are you often accused of being a know it all?"

Yes. That is a hint. Delivered in a very deadpan Artemy way! But it's a hint!
