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.

He wishes he knew. To send someone off one final time is an important, intimate ritual. Artemy had spoken of lines, connections unbroken even across the gulf of life and death. Sasavachi doesn't have anything to properly represent such a concept--

No. Perhaps he does.

Slowly, he undoes the clasp on his bracelet. He tucks it gently into the man's pocket.

"I don't know his people's rites. I only spoke to him once." Sasavachi looks around him. "But I know how to see someone off. It'll have to be enough for his weary spirit.. until we can find something better..."

He finally glances up at the horned man. "You'll help me." Won't you?

"What do you need me to do?"

It isn't quite an agreement, but it may stand in for one.

"We'll move him to the side. Somewhere quieter..."

Where he won't be a spectacle for everyone to gawk at. They can work on further details after that's been sorted out.
