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.

[mortifer]

The Warrior of Light always leads the vanguard, as both the sword and shield of his allies. Which is why, when Azimar steps aside, Sasavachi doesn't protest. He manages only a single step forward when the door slams itself shut, a violent action as loud as thunder.

(In the brief glimpse of the outside, there's the sense that something is off -- a realization that a subtle wrong has left its mark upon the world while evading definition.)

Sasavachi visibly startles and his hand shoots to his pocket. He grips something within it. When he realizes what he's doing, he forces himself to let go.

"... that would have been too easy, I suppose."

[for_i_have_none]

"No doubt." He's not smiling; his gaze is on Sasavachi's hand at his pocket, lifting to his face.

Very quietly: "What are you thinking, friend?"

[mortifer]

Had he been noticed? Sasavachi immediately averts his eye -- the most guilty action he could do in this situation.

"... I'm concerned about this game," he admits quietly, "and of what lies beyond it. Aren't you?"

Shouldn't you want to leave, too?

[for_i_have_none]

"Oh, very." No louder, almost gentle. "But at the moment, you see, I'm also concerned with what you might have on your person that you don't want me to notice."
