Game 51 - Group #6

[dramatispersonae]

[ You're inside a dome :|b The walls are high and gently sloped -- the whole room must be twenty feet in diameter. In the middle of the room are a set of scales -- they are uneven. Three pebbles are on one side and nine on the other. There are three doors on the wall opposite you (past the scales). Each door is made of dark wood and has gold lettering.]

JEALOUSY RAGE FULFILLMENT

(ooc: Please move as quickly as possible through the first parts of the game; the quicker you get through them, the more time you'll have to complete objectives later. The group must all go through the same door. Please join #hospitaltheme on IRC so I can ping you/be pinged if necessary ♥! Your gamerunner is AJ.)

CHOICE

[dramatispersonae]

[ You've entered a small room with padded walls. Yes, they are actually padded -- like a dark red velvet quilt! … on the wall. A single lightbulb hangs from a black cord illuminating the walls.

In front of you is a single picture -- framed with a gold frame -- with a plaque hanging beneath it. Next to the plaque is a small mesh square. An arrow points to the square and there is white lettering next to the arrow "speak your answer here". ]


Rage is for Rhonda who now lives behind bars. She used to keep a collection of men's toes in her drawers. It first started with a man who had greatly wronged her sister.

But stopping can be so hard, you know. . .? What would you do with Rhonda?

THE TEACHER(loom)

[dramatispersonae]

[ You enter a room of stairs. Stairs everywhere. Stairs leading up, stairs leading down, stairs leading sideways. They run into each other, collide, seem to twine together. It's a bit like you're trapped in an Escher-world. Hanging from different points off of the stairs (or laying, as gravity does not go up as often as it goes down) are nooses.

It smells vaguely of apples and flowers. There is gold thread woven into the rope ... and if you listen . . . the pitterpatter of tiny feet...? ]

THE TEACHER(loom): CRACKS

[dramatispersonae]

[ SOOOOO THERE IS A BIG CRACK IN THE WALL AND UH. EVERYTHING IS CREAKING A LITTLE.

LUCKILY THERE IS A DOOR IN FRONT OF YOU. UNFORTUNATELY THE LOCK HAS A RIDDLE ON IT AND THEN A SPACE FOR AN ANSWER TO BE WRITTEN IN (and a small pen to fill in the answer):

"There is a bus with 7 children inside. Each child has 7 bags. Inside each bag there are 7 big cats. Each big cat has 7 small cats. All cats have 4 legs each. How many legs are on the bus?" ]

E-eeeh, maths!? At a time like this!?

Re: THE TEACHER(loom): CRACKS

[unfortunateson]

Is this a trick question or not, I wonder . . .

Re: THE TEACHER(loom): CRACKS

[mylittlecavallone]

... We can assume that the kids have their legs too, right? This isn't another one of those morbid things where they don't, is it?

THE TEACHER

[dramatispersonae]

[ DOOR OPEN!

YOU CAN ESCAPE TO A MUCH STURDIER ROOM . . . where there is only a statue of Three and two holes. And a marble. And a single word etched into the floor: CHOICE. ]

Re: THE TEACHER

[going to check out the statue!]

Perhaps I ought to just smash this too.
