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.

"That's just it," Jon insists, lowering his voice a bit. This isn't a topic that he wants widely advertised, after all. "I imagine, if someone were to mislead someone else and cause their death, they'd be able to take the key from their envelope without ever having to dare open their own. Their freedom more easily attained at the cost of another's. It's the sort of thing the domain of Betrayal would like to see us turn to."

All the more reason to refrain. And, despite a knee-jerk reaction to turn his envelope away from Papyrus's gaze, he does eventually turn it towards him. He won't be handing it over, but he'll let the man read what it says, at least.

"I think being certain if someone accidentally misled another to opening their envelope under false pretenses versus deliberately doing so would be... tricky," he adds. "Not all of these words are terribly common. It may be a matter of... failing to get them to understand a denial. Mistaking it for agreement to move along. It's all— deeply fucking nebulous."
