Room 2: Peridot, Coral, Sapphire, Tiger's Eye, Kunzite

[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..))

[smiles a little at the beginning of that]

Time isn't going to make twisting these questions around any easier, is it...

[glorious]

It is certainly a challenge, but don't you think practice would make it easier?

[supersensitive]

Easier eventually, but won't speaking unnaturally always be a little bit hard...?

[glorious]

Hard is only a matter of the mind and you can tell yourself otherwise, so why not give it a try?

[supersensitive]

Try though I might-- is it really, uh, possible to succeed...?

[glorious]

Succeed you can and shall, now don't you feel a bit better?

[supersensitive]

Better than before; aren't you inspiring...

[glorious]

Inspiring is what I strive to be, unless that's too egotistical?

[supersensitive]

...Egotistical--

[...]

[........]

...is way too hard to work with... Aren't you trying hard to win?

[glorious]

[...chuckles.]

"Win" is a difficult goal to strive for when the criteria is unclear, unless you know something I don't?

[supersensitive]

Don't-- think so much of my knowledge... unless you're looking to be disappointed...?

[glorious]

Disappointed isn't what anyone will be looking for a game like this, I hope; shouldn't we simply try to have fun?

[supersensitive]

Fun... fun should be the ultimate goal in any game, shouldn't it?

[glorious]

It should or else you couldn't call it a game, now could you?

[supersensitive]

...You'd have to take that one up with the Personae, wouldn't you...

[glorious]

You think they would mind such a question?

[supersensitive]

...Questions aren't something they seem to answer very openly, are they...?

[glorious]

They don't, but perhaps we simply need to learn to ask our questions differently?

[supersensitive]

Differently... differently-phrased questions don't necessarily lead to different answers, you know...?

[glorious]

Know that in this place how you frame a question is every bit as important as what you want to learn; don't you believe that a world run by stories would care about how we use our words?

[supersensitive]

Words...

[...nope.]

Word...s?
