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.))

Circular questions aren't hard too?

[wouldntkilladragon]

Too much and I think that would increase the chances of us losing the game?

[existentiallychallenged]

Game isn't already as good as lost for me?

[wouldntkilladragon]

[Me....oi.]

Me or you, who can say, it's still early, isn't it?

[existentiallychallenged]

It is?!

[GENUINE REACTION]

[wouldntkilladragon]

Is not this amount of time too short for a proper game?

[existentiallychallenged]

Game...s usually have more to do than just asking a lot of questions, right??

[wouldntkilladragon]

Right, usually, the last game like this had us switch between partners after a few minutes, but maybe time is a factor here?

[existentiallychallenged]

Here we're barely even talking about anything, unless you wanted to talk about, I dunno, masks??

[wouldntkilladragon]

Masks are interesting, should they be actual masks or emotional ones?

[existentiallychallenged]

Ones that you wear on your face aren't the obvious answer?

[wouldntkilladragon]

Answer to questions can lead to showing people behind the mask, but the ones you wear are good too, so do you remember any masks?

[existentiallychallenged]

Masks are... not something I really remember but it seemed like one of the least annoying things on the list?

[wouldntkilladragon]

List of items does limit what we can think of, but I guess they wouldn't be, but if we don't remember masks, it could be a problem?

[existentiallychallenged]

Problem or not, doesn't it at least seem straightforward?

[wouldntkilladragon]

Straightforward is why it's hard to talk about it if we don't know about it, don't you think?

[existentiallychallenged]

Think you can come up with something better?

[wouldntkilladragon]

Better than that, perhaps, if we talked about making up a holiday with masks instead of just masks only?

[existentiallychallenged]

Only masks makes for a kind of boring holiday, so why don't we add some festivities?

[wouldntkilladragon]

Festivities would definitely be required, maybe some sort of night celebration?

[existentiallychallenged]

Celebration at night is good so far, so why don't we add some food?

[wouldntkilladragon]

Food is a must, probably something that needs to be cooked so there's a lot of fire to see by?

[existentiallychallenged]

By that logic, should it be something big so there's a big fire, or something like marshmallows that everyone can have individually...?

[wouldntkilladragon]

Individually may not be a good idea for a big feast, there's a lot of people, but I don't know what marshmallows are, is it possible to produce those in mass numbers?

[existentiallychallenged]

Numbers are not my specialty, but marshmallows are generally small enough to fit in your hand, so... does that work?
