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.

Comments

[for_i_have_none]

"Yes, it seemed like he opened it. Or perhaps someone else did, after stabbing him."

Ghastly thought -- what happens if someone rips open someone else's envelope, the word unguessed and unspoken? He doesn't want to bring it up, in case he's the only one who's thought of it.

"I thought I heard... someone say, he opened his envelope," Papyrus remembers slowly, trying to place voices and names. It's harder, when he'd been in the middle of another conversation when whatever this is happened, but he's sure he recognized whoever rushed by. From the flower festival, maybe.

More reluctantly, not convinced of his own idea but wanting to be, "didn't I hear once that 'skin' is an organ...?"

[for_i_have_none]

"Is it? Good heavens, what an appalling thought."

He considers it for a moment, then shakes his head. "No, I see where you're going with that, but ... I think if the skin failed, it wouldn't look the same as if it were very neatly pierced through with a sharp blade."

[spaghettimonster]

"Unless it was a very pointed failure, to trick us all," Papyrus suggests, with even less conviction and an unsettled expression. "So... S-So, someone... might have stabbed him. Maybe, the very same someone who just ran away..."

Papyrus glances back off in the direction he saw her running, and- that's strange, she's still in the room.

"...Isn't rule one of doing crimes, don't stay at the crime scene?"
