Event Annex - The Senate Room
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.

Such a thing might certainly be, he knows. Though that's not at all what he would have expected of Dahlia, on their admittedly exceedingly brief acquaintance.
no subject
What a thing to have maybe done, so shortly after their engagement. Surely one of the big tests for a marriage is whether they can handle their loved one becoming a murderer...?
no subject
"No, he doesn't seem to be. That might be for the best, all things considered."
no subject
Admittedly, at least one person has approached her so far, but he can't tell from here what they're saying.
no subject
"Ask her ... why she did it?"
no subject
Like, for instance, if she gets arrested about this. Or stabbed.
no subject
"It's a good thought," he says, his tone a strange blend of dry and gentle. "I'll be happy to accompany you, if you'd like to try it."
no subject
His own voice goes a little wry, as he hears this from the guy who did, after all, make the very first guess without any clues from anyone else, immediately and correctly guessing that word.
"But, it's a good point! Better multiple people know, in case anything... waylays the messenger. Even if I'll do my best not to be waylaid."
no subject
And, it hardly needs be said, not under the best of circumstances.
no subject
Yet. Feeling yet. Act like it's real, and it's already one step to realer.
Besides, with another glance around the room... there aren't that many people he knows much better, anyway. A few he's known a while, a couple he first met at that swift social, and many more that he's seen around the island at some point or another. No sense snubbing a potential new friend.
