Room 1: Jasper, Emerald, Citrine, Iolite, Heliodor

[dramatispersonae]

[When you enter the rooms, they're fairly open and large, with enough space to spread out. On the walls are posters with a list on them:

1. Trickery/mischief?
2. Love?
3. Truth?
4. Snakes?
5. Masks?

Can you ask a question when it depends on the last thing asked? Asked thusly, what would you say? Say what you would freely, or falter? Falter on the same word, or manage to soar?

There is a strange humming sense of expectation in the air.]

((We're playing the questions game with a twist! Each question needs to start with the needs to begin with the last word of the previous question, like in the IC example above. There is a list of themes and starter questions if you'd feel more comfortable springboarding that way -- using one of our starters will not lose you points! You'll have the standard five hours, after which we'll cut you off, but you can pretty much go wild and have as many question conversations as you feel like before you call it quits and head to endgame.))

[wat]

Wouldn't asking so many questions at once be annoying?

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Annoying to whom?

[wouldntkilladragon]

Annoying seems a bit harsh, doesn't it?

[existentiallychallenged]

Annoying, or really annoying?

[generating]

Annoying sounds right for this place, don't it?

[bondingspirits]

Annoying or not, we should try our best . . . right?

[itsalluseless]

Annoying, maybe, but is it really that bad?

[alldesires]

Annoying as having to talk to you normally?

[wouldntkilladragon]

Soar and flying high should be possible, don't you think?

[mysong]

Think so...Have you played this game before?

[existentiallychallenged]

...Out of those, "mischief" seems like the only keyword that's even kind of appropriate, doesn't it?

[bondingspirits]

It seems so, but do you think it matters?

[itsalluseless]

It seems like they might have just picked subjects at random?

[wouldntkilladragon]

It doesn't seem the only one, masks could prompt a lot of questions, yeah?

[generating]

It seems like all of 'em kinda make sense, except, why snakes?

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Is that all this game is?

[itsalluseless]

Is there something wrong with having a simple game like this?

[debossy]

[slept through the night and has recovered some at this point. FURUDO ERIKA, A FANTASTIC START TO ANYONE'S MORNING]

Is that displeasing to you?

[wouldntkilladragon]

Is there a reason it needs more?

[mysong]

Isn't this the sort of game you like?

[generating]

What's all this about?

[wouldntkilladragon]

About as much as could be expected for a good first game, don't you think?

[debossy]

Is Azure not present to consult with on the topic of snakes?

[mysong]

Snakes are what he knows best, right?

[alldesires]

Is it just me, or do you think the personae roll dice to figure out who will win in games like these?

[debossy]

[aha, my replacement . . . ]

These games are not so terribly common, in my past experience, but have their systems of grading ever been fair or made much sense?

[shipwithwings]

Well now, this will not be so difficult, will it?

[wouldntkilladragon]

It is kind of fun, actually, but do you have anything you'd like to talk about?
