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.

"No, not that one." She lowers her voice a bit--- It's not really too much of a secret anymore, but there are people present who are newer still than Azimar to the island, and now isn't an ideal time to broadcast this. "I am--- in the same role as you are about to be, for a court of my own. But Eligos is, ah. A relative."

[for_i_have_none]

"Different courts," he says. "Rivals, or united?"

And then, dryly: "Or, given the nature of the courts we're speaking of, perhaps both?"

[thethirteenthchild]

"I suppose that is up to us," Dahlia says plainly. "I have no quarrel with you."

[for_i_have_none]

A momentary gleam of smile. "I'm so pleased to hear you say that, dear girl. But -- even so, surely it matters how the courts stand now? Even if this inheritance matter is serious, there's bound to be some time yet before I've anything to say about the court's position on anything."

[thethirteenthchild]

A glance away--- frustration. Dahlia sucks her teeth. Nothing to be done about it. "Eligos is my grandfather. He chose to seat me. Our courts are... collaborative. And mine is new. I am its sole member at the moment."

[for_i_have_none]

More soberly: "I see. Well ... if no quarrel stands between us right now, I would most assuredly like to keep it that way. And while I have no idea how I might be of any help to you, should any opportunity arise ... ?"

[thethirteenthchild]

"Stay out of trouble, and if we make it out of this--- meet with me later. For now, just focus on this nonsense."

[for_i_have_none]

"Believe me, dear lady, staying out of trouble is rapidly becoming my fondest wish in these circumstances."

He spreads one hand in front of his chest and makes a little half-bow. "And should we come out of this, I shall certainly call upon you at the earliest opportunity."
