Re: Day 3, sometime after the game

[presgarddihellis]

Smith&Raven: It was fairly tame. Mostly an icebreaker. But the "losers" might have gotten off easy thanks to the one that interrupted and ended up hosting it.

[tailsofwoe]

Foxglove: Well, I would certainly like to hear more about this "host."
Foxglove: Would it would be easier to have this discussion face-to-face?

[presgarddihellis]

Smith&Raven: Either way is fine with me. It's been a while since I've used technology at this level.
Smith&Raven: Anywhere specific you'd like to meet?
Smith&Raven: Any preferred face, even? Or just whatever strikes my mood?

[tailsofwoe]

Foxglove: The bar?

[ girl it's like the middle of the day ]

Foxglove: And surprise me.

[presgarddihellis]

Smith&Raven: Alright. I'll be there in 15.

[tailsofwoe]

[ When he arrives, she will be sitting in one of the booths, having already poured herself a glass of shochu. ]

[presgarddihellis]

[it's a stranger sliding into the booth!

well, probably.

the eyes are still pretty familiar, at least. but hair is long and lighter in color and this face does seem to be a softer one more prone to gentle smiles than either of the other faces he's worn tend to show.

also, he has an ale, ftr.]

[tailsofwoe]

[ Her brows raise in confusion when she first lays eyes on him, but it does not take her very long at all to figure out he must be. ]

Well, I did say, "Surprise me."

[presgarddihellis]

You did.

It did allow me a chance to see what other faces I could access.

[tailsofwoe]

And does this one have a name?

[presgarddihellis]

It did. It currently doesn't.

I spent some time as a wandering magician like this.

[tailsofwoe]

Going to show me a trick?

[presgarddihellis]

If you'd like. After we discuss business, of course.

[tailsofwoe]

Mm, of course.

On that note, what exactly happened? All I've heard about it so far is that you "found things in common."

[presgarddihellis]

Well, that is more or less what it was. It was an icebreaker challenge of "find out what the people you're sitting with at this table have in common". We had to name up to five different things and if we managed to find the thing that we had in common, according to them, we'd get the full extra points and thus win.

It's a little difficult to sit at a table with similarly minded people.

[tailsofwoe]

Let me guess: by "similarly minded," you mean "similarly secretive"?

[presgarddihellis]

A bit like this table.

[tailsofwoe]

[ Huffs. Touché. ]

At least this one isn't being graded with our memories at stake.

[presgarddihellis]

True. And I feel as though, for the sake of not losing memories, you would be more cooperative about some of our commonalities.

I admit, I was being overly playful for the situation and one was a bit resistant to one of the suspected similarities.

[tailsofwoe]

[ Sighs. ]

From the way you're talking about it, I assume you didn't win.

... What was the similarity?

[presgarddihellis]

I haven't an idea what our host thought it was.

But I strongly suspected none of us were human. But I was being frivolous and made the claim that we were all human. Mr. Warden was a good sport about it, but he also said he didn't want to submit anything that could be a lie since it may have resulted in other consequences.

So we opted for something else like "we all are mistaken for something we are not".

[tailsofwoe]

When you make it that broad, it feels like it could apply to almost anything.

[presgarddihellis]

Which is likely the reason that person agreed to it.

I was actually more surprised he agreed to "we have all taken a life".

[tailsofwoe]

[ A slight eyebrow raise. ]

Yes, that does feel like it tells me something about the priorities of the people at your table.

[presgarddihellis]

Doesn't it?

Miss Eowyn was with one of the winning groups, so she received the extra coin and flashlight. I believe people will be testing those out in short order.
