dramatispersonae

Lorelei stands on the edge of the sandbar, holding something in her hands. She says nothing, but she holds it up to you with a plaintive expression of earnest curiosity: what is this? Then she sets it down on the sand, gives you one last longing glance, and walks into the water. There's a splash, and she's gone.

From somewhere out in the bay, Lorelei's voice suddenly rings out. "How boring! Your answers aren't interesting at all; surely there's more magic to human lands than that? Please tell me more interesting stories of these things!"

Your item is a pair of scissors.

Give a description of your item's intended purpose and proper use that is as clear, accurate, and complete as possible within forty-five minutes.

Your item is a pocketwatch. Its purpose and use has been described by Kunzite as follows: "It's a clock that you can put in your pocket. It's small, and the hands point to the right time. The big hand is for the hours, and the small hand is for the minutes. The thing on top is used to help wind it."

Make up a new description of your item's intended purpose and proper use that is as ridiculous and inventive as possible within an hour and fifteen minutes. It can be a genuine alternative use or an extravagant lie, but either way, points will be awarded for creativity, convincingness, and effectiveness at refuting the original description.

Really? Some game . . .

It really is.

Not so hard though, yeah?

It doesn't seem like it should be.

Right. I shouldn't complain.

Two blades each with a ring at the end for your fingers that are fixed together to cut through fabric and paper. What is it? —What else should we add?

Maybe not add anything, but be clearer? Like the fact they're on a screw?

That are fixed together with a screw?

Any ideas?

And you cut the paper or hair or what have you by bringing the blades together?

Not bad. Do you have anything else to add?

Nothing to add to what you've already discussed.

Not really.

The item has two blades that each have a ring at the end to put a finger through that are fixed together with a screw. You bring the blades together with your fingers in the rings to cut through paper, hair, fabric, or what have you.

Too much?

No, should do.

The item has two blades that each have a ring at the end to put a finger through that are fixed together with a screw. You bring the blades together with your fingers in the rings to cut through paper, hair, fabric, or what have you.

A wave washes over the sand, and the object you described is gone.

[pocketwatch . . . ]

Hm.

Now it's getting more fun.
