TURQUOISE

[dramatispersonae]

[ When you step into the room, you'll find it dimly lit once more, with a spotlight over a simple wooden table with chairs around it. On the table are three cards, one with a single word on it, one with a short phrase, and one with the rules. You can also hear Peter's voice, though you can't see him. ]

You can't just be strong and brave to be a good adventurer, you know. You must also be very clever. I'm so very clever that I can get other people to say exactly what I want them to say all the time. But I must know if any of you are as clever as I am. To make it much easier for you, I will give you a word and a phrase that you must get other people to say to you. Every person you trick will get you points and you'll get more points for phrases!

… Oh, and no cheating! If another team figures out your word or phrase and tells it to me, they'll steal one of your end points! Oh, oh, and let's make a bet if you think you are the most clever! If you tell me the name of one specific person you can trick into saying your word or phrase, then I'll give you double the points for it! But if you fail, you'll lose points. Won't that be most interesting?

RULES

[dramatispersonae]

1) Your goal is to trick a person/multiple persons on another team into saying your word/phrase to you.
2) You cannot say your word or exact phrase to another team, but you can try to prompt another team indirectly into saying your phrase.
3) Your character cannot remain silent during the game. If they try not to say anything, they'll feel compelled to respond instead.
4) If your team figures out another team's word and/or phrase, they can submit it under "TURN IN" to steal up to two points from that team! (One for the word, one for the phrase)
5) You can also make a bet with Peter Pan. Under "THE BET," you can submit the name of a specific person (1 per teammate ie 3 teammates, 3 targets) you are confident in being able to trick into saying your word and/or phrase. If you succeed, you'll earn double points. If you fail, you'll lose points equal to the original value of the points. A team cannot all pick the same target.
6) Once you've succeeded in tricking someone into saying your word/phrase, submit the thread to "TURN IN"

Re: DISCUSSION

[brociopath]

Really...?

Re: DISCUSSION

[screwthatnoise]

The second card should be easy.

Re: DISCUSSION

[brociopath]

Are you confident with your ability to look weird enough to make people comment on it?

Re: DISCUSSION

[screwthatnoise]

Yes.

Re: DISCUSSION

[brociopath]

All right, I'll be counting on you.

Re: DISCUSSION

[screwthatnoise]

[looking thoughtful]

I will do my best.

Re: DISCUSSION

[brociopath]

Thanks.

[virtuallyroyalty]

Woah, what's up with these cards. Treasure and looking weird have nothing to do with each other.

[screwthatnoise]

I do not think they're supposed to be relevant.

[virtuallyroyalty]

Yeah, but yo'd want people to say both... the second is definitely easiest.

[screwthatnoise]

As long as we do not need anyone to say both phrases in the same sentence, we should be fine.

[virtuallyroyalty]

Yeah, then we'd really be in trouble.

Anyone you think you can definitely trick? I have one or two in mind.

[screwthatnoise]

...

One for certain. In fact, I think I could trick her into saying both the word and the phrase.

[virtuallyroyalty]

Nice! I say risk the bet!

[screwthatnoise]

I may as well.

How about you?

[virtuallyroyalty]

I think I can do it, so I'll place a bet as well.

[screwthatnoise]

...make sure to try your best.

[virtuallyroyalty]

Yeeeeees~

[brociopath]

...I think there's someone I could get to say it, but the chance that he'll figure it out is high, but the chance he won't call me on it in his room is also high.

[virtuallyroyalty]

A high risk situation... you don't have anyone else, who might be less easy to trick but less likely to figure it out?

Oh right! And I'm Blizzard, by the way.

[brociopath]

Gust. Um, I suppose I do. Not a lot of people I know are currently playing.

[virtuallyroyalty]

That sucks. Depends on how much you think it's worth to try, I guess. Though if you don't want to, I can think of a second person.

[brociopath]

...I'll put the bet on one of his teammates instead. Neither of the ones playing are as smart as he is.

[virtuallyroyalty]

Sounds good!

[brociopath]

Hmm, the girl has problems with words, so getting her to say something with specific phrasing might be really difficult. I'll go for the guy.

[virtuallyroyalty]

Now that you mention it, it might be hard with going for the person I know on Kunzite for the same reason... I'll go with my friend on Coral, either one would work but he'd be more easier to get the phrase from.

[brociopath]

Mm. This is the best we can do to strategize, after all.

Re: DISCUSSION

[brociopath]

I think Peridot's phrase might have been "I like that" or "I'd like that" or something similar... not sure about anyone else. Anyone else have a guess?

Re: DISCUSSION

[virtuallyroyalty]

I don't really have any ideas, so if you have a good hunch we might as well go for it.

Re: DISCUSSION

[brociopath]

Brother kept saying things to me where that'd be the natural response. So it's the only hunch I have.

THE BET

[dramatispersonae]

Name your target here. You must pick a target before beginning play!

Re: THE BET

[brociopath]

Ventus on Peridot.

Re: THE BET

[virtuallyroyalty]

Uh... Shark on Coral!

Re: THE BET

[screwthatnoise]

Alena on Carnelian.

TURN IN

[dramatispersonae]

Re: TURN IN

[virtuallyroyalty]

I got Snow on Kunzite to say "treasure", totally by accident! I almost got him to say the phrase, but he didn't quite get it, so I guess that's out.

Re: TURN IN

[brociopath]

I was unable to get anyone to say my word or phrase, but I'm going to guess that Peridot's phrase was something like "I'd like that".
