Room 3

You find yourselves in a well acquainted parlor while the storm rages on outside. Mother's voice resounds from somewhere unseen.

"Dear Mother will be with you in a moment, my children. But until then, please do try to become well acquainted with one another."

[You'll find a small dance card tucked into the pocket of your outfit. It has on it a description of your role. Please refer to the DP journal for a post locked to your team with the contents of your card.]

As your mingling continues, suddenly Mother's voice cuts through the sounds of conversation.

"Well now, I am so sorry that to so long my dears, but now I feel the game can begin. It's hardly the weather for a waltz but I think it is such a lovely atmosphere to get to know one another intimately. You'll find exactly how intimate on your cards, of course. Just write the name of the person who matches, in your humble opinion. Do try to be correct, Mother does so despise it when you try to pretend to be clever with your guesses."

[Your cards now have three items listed on the left hand side with blank spaces on the right to write names. Please refer to the comments of your team post in the DP journal for what's written on your card. You cannot share the contents of your card with others.]

... Well... do we guess? Ask? Pretty invasive.

Well, the measure of the game is simple enough, but not exactly something I think most people would be content with embracing.

I suppose my main question is are we talking about ourselves now or are we talking about our characters.

. . .

I'd rather do stupid dancing and party stuff.

I wonder if she timed this so we'd think "At least we aren't killing each other."

Now now, that isn't a polite thing to do as such a fancy gathering.

Charming.

Some of these could apply to any number of us.

Do you think so?

As vague as they are? Yes, I do.

Radishes, string beans, silverskin onions...

Turnips, celery . . . chamomile?
