Tiger's Eye

[dramatispersonae]

[ You are sitting in small, dark room with earthen walls, and no window or doors – but it’s filled with apples. There’s a fireplace embedded in one wall, with a cheerfully roaring fire. The dirt floor is covered in a plush Persian carpet and an array of cushions, and in front of the fire is a low table. On the table is a pencil with an eraser, twenty red slips of paper, five green slips of paper, and one rolled up scroll. Unrolled, it reads:

Let’s keep this one easy for everyone.

Write one noun on every red slip of paper (that’s a person, place, or thing, like “Aather” or “Cheshire” or “cat”). Write one adjective (that describes a noun, like “clever”) on every green slip of paper – oh, and rank them, so I know which ones are your favorites. Toss them all into the fire when you’re finished.

You’re forbidden to use team names.

The note is signed with an inky pawprint. ]

[I am going to have to explain some of these words to people by reading this, aren't I?]

[fine, reads it aloud for Kitsunebi and Leif]

Re: ROUND THREE

[Yes. :(]

Re: ROUND THREE

[bunny_ears]

Ooo... kay...

which ones do you like?

Re: ROUND THREE

[goneastray]

Um, surprise, book and this game?

Re: ROUND THREE

[bunny_ears]

[considering]

I certainly agree with 'this game', given the direction it's going.

Re: ROUND THREE

[goneastray]

What are Joy's choices?

Re: ROUND THREE

[bunny_ears]

This game, incest, and the internet.

Re: ROUND THREE

[goneastray]

Why them?

Re: ROUND THREE

[bunny_ears]

This game and the internet, because they're good ways to say things about others that would be scandals. Like putting a Persona's name to an adjective that implies something iffy about them. And the internet is mostly a way to exchange information, including stuff that isn't true or is true, but shocking.

[karlsefni]

What's "internet"?

[bunny_ears]

Oh, boy...

Think about it as a way to exchange messages and pictures with other people, all over the world.

[karlsefni]

.. And it's scandalous?

[bunny_ears]

People use it to pass around gossip and pictures of naked people, among other things.

[karlsefni]

.. Gross.

[bunny_ears]

[shrugs] Well, you did want to know.

[karlsefni]

What about "gigolo"?

[bunny_ears]

[has to think for a moment to see if she remembers]

[well, shit. She does]

Fucked up times a hundred...

A man that gets paid for...

[pause, and you'll probably miss any euphemisms because lack of common culture.]

Basically, a man someone pays for sex.

[I am just going to bury my face in my hands -- why am I having to explain slang for sex workers to wolves and amnesiac Vikings? Why is this my life?]

Re: ROUND THREE

[genderbinary]

Do you have a preference?

Re: ROUND THREE

[bunny_ears]

Mine would be 'the internet' and 'incest', but given the way this game is going, I'm going to put that one on here too.

Re: ROUND THREE

[genderbinary]

I concur with all three.

Re: ROUND THREE

[bunny_ears]

Want me to pick one?

Re: ROUND THREE

[genderbinary]

If you'd like. What do the others think?

Re: ROUND THREE

[bunny_ears]

I don't know. I think they're struggling with the vocabulary.

Re: ROUND THREE

[genderbinary]

Perhaps we should just stick to 'this game', then.

Re: ROUND THREE

[bunny_ears]

Yes, let's do that.

[Why couldn't we do that first?]
