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.))

Annoying only has one meaning, regardless of the degree, right?

[existentiallychallenged]

Right now, don't you think we need a word that means the same thing but a little bit worse? This is already a pain in the ass!

[lifeistooshort]

Tell me about it!

[pause]

Worse words will come to us the longer we do this. . . maybe?

[existentiallychallenged]

Maybe... "aggravating"?

[lifeistooshort]

Aggravating doesn't sound too. . . aggravating?

[existentiallychallenged]

...Aggravating to you, or not aggravating enough to describe things properly?

[lifeistooshort]

Properly aggravating things should be punched in the face, don't you think?

[existentiallychallenged]

Think you can punch a game?

[lifeistooshort]

Game, maybe not, but Personae are different, aren't they?

[existentiallychallenged]

They won't just disappear as soon as they hear you saying that?

[lifeistooshort]

That would be stupid, but also sensible, so maybe we shouldn't be surprised?

[existentiallychallenged]

Surprised would be if we didn't think about it beforehand, right?

[lifeistooshort]

Right you are, and isn't that why I said we shouldn't be?

[existentiallychallenged]

Be that as it may, wouldn't it be best if you just remember to punch them the next time you see 'em anyway?

[lifeistooshort]

Anyway, I plan on doing that, so cheer me on when I do?

[existentiallychallenged]

...Do you have a name I can cheer for you with?
