[dramatispersonae]

[ You're in a stucco-walled white room, lit by a too-high-to-reach (no matter how hard you try!!!) skylight showing a beautiful blue sky. Unfortunately, the room has the same weird patches as the Ring all over the walls and floors...

At the center, there's a rough-hewn wooden table, some wooden chairs, and a load of pens and paper. Chesh's voice floats from all the dark patches at once. ]

You know all about filling in the blanks... give me a word for every type of word I've given you, make a few guesses, and you'll be well rewarded.

Re: DISCUSSION

Quite a lot of words.

Re: DISCUSSION

[bondingspirits]

So many--!!

Re: DISCUSSION

[floorcandy]

Is it ad-libs?

Re: DISCUSSION

[forthefonofit]

Oh, you know what you're doing! Then please fill out Group Two for us.

Re: DISCUSSION

[floorcandy]

Yes, sir!

Re: DISCUSSION

[forthefonofit]

Excellent, that leaves us with the other two groups.

Re: DISCUSSION

[floorcandy]

I'll leave that to the rest of you to divvy up~

Re: DISCUSSION

[bondingspirits]

Adlibs?

Re: DISCUSSION

[floorcandy]

It's a game! Someone writes out a story and removes some of the words. By asking others for adjectives or nouns or whatever they fill in the blanks to get a new, sillier story!

Re: DISCUSSION

[bondingspirits]

[.....OH BOY]

I can only imagine what the cat's stories are going to be like then.

Re: DISCUSSION

[floorcandy]

We'll find out soon!

Re: DISCUSSION

[bondingspirits]

Re: DISCUSSION

Straightforward but tedious.

Re: DISCUSSION

[bondingspirits]

No kidding.

Re: DISCUSSION

[fraternalorders]

Strange cat.

Re: DISCUSSION

[bondingspirits]

Cats are pretty strange, aren't they?

Re: DISCUSSION

[fraternalorders]

They can be.

Re: DISCUSSION

[soundandfury]

[ugh]

Alright, how are we doing this?

Re: DISCUSSION

[forthefonofit]

Our knight is taking care of group two, I can easily finish off group three by myself, and then we can contribute as we like to group one.

Re: DISCUSSION

[soundandfury]

There are sixteen words in group one, and four of us.

Re: DISCUSSION

[forthefonofit]

Then four words each of us from group one. I pick the last four.

Re: DISCUSSION

[soundandfury]

[nods]

I've got the first.

Re: DISCUSSION

[fraternalorders]

I'll take the second.

Re: DISCUSSION

[bondingspirits]

I can do the third...

ROUND TWO: PICKING

[dramatispersonae]

I’ve put out everything you’ve helped me with. Now let’s see how well you can pick out who helped.

Every team had three pieces to finish. Read all the pieces, decide which team wrote which, then tell me the title of the three pieces your fellow teams wrote.

[what even]

Re: DISCUSSION

[forthefonofit]

As we have some we can reliably assume are correct, why don't we just dump the rest in and fill in the spaces?

Re: DISCUSSION

[floorcandy]

Ad-lib answers for an ad-lib game?

Re: DISCUSSION

[forthefonofit]

Exactly!

Re: DISCUSSION
