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.))

You know I'm a scientist back home?

[wouldntkilladragon]

Home would be the place to be a scientist, but what is a scientist?

[lifeistooshort]

Scientists are the people who ask questions for the sake of answer, you didn't know that?

[wouldntkilladragon]

That wasn't something I know, but there's a lot I don't know, or didn't you hear about how a lot of normal stuff, to me, seems strange?

[lifeistooshort]

Strange things can sometimes be exciting things, isn't that what you think?

[wouldntkilladragon]

Think so, but I'm pretty sure people shouldn't be perplexed by a chair being too small when everyone else thinks it's normal?

[lifeistooshort]

Normal chair sizes are relative, don't people realize that?

[wouldntkilladragon]

That might apply for most cases, but that's only one of the things, since door handles used to be up more near my shoulders at home, so hopefully that gives you some perspective?

[lifeistooshort]

Perspective can change, but what do you mean?

[wouldntkilladragon]

Mean is also kind of common with all the aggression, but I mean the top of the door handle was here- [Puts a hand just below his shoulder.] -on my front door, didn't I mention how giant everyone was back home?

[lifeistooshort]

Home you might have talked about, but not to me, can I ask about what it was like?

[wouldntkilladragon]

Like everyone was two or three times my size with small always being the oddity, but it seems to make fighting dragons easier, which I have mentioned?

[lifeistooshort]

Mentioned dragons, you did, and doesn't that sentence just sound weird?

[wouldntkilladragon]

Weird, probably, but didn't I just establish I'm probably weird already?

[lifeistooshort]

Already, maybe, but do you think I think there's something wrong with that?

[wouldntkilladragon]

[There is a PAUSE there, but that is not thinking of sentence with that word pause.]

That...is something that I hope doesn't have anything wrong with it, but I suppose I haven't mentioned how I might be doing rather questionable things?

[lifeistooshort]

. . .

Things that are questionable should be talked about after the game, okay?

[wouldntkilladragon]

....okay, but only if you're not going to assume terrible things in the meantime?

[lifeistooshort]

Meantime doesn't matter, because you know I won't, right?

[wouldntkilladragon]

Right, sure you won't, but I like to be sure, since it may be nothing to worry about at all, so as long as you understand that?
