23rd Trial - Licorice + Clover

Upon entering the tent, you find yourself in a plain, undecorated conference room with white walls and grey carpeting. The room is largely taken up by a table, surrounded in rolly chairs, upon which lie the tools you'll need for this game:

☆ A sheet of paper with three prompts written in bold text.

☆ Three unmarked envelopes.

☆ A deck of 32 image cards.

☆ A single blank card and a 12-pack of crayons.

☆ A wooden box with a slot just big enough to fit the provided envelopes.

Good luck, heroes!

For this round, you must select which cards to send to your partner team. Please check the rules for restrictions.

Your prompts are:

☆ Swimsuit
☆ Castle
☆ Mother

Please submit your answer by 8:30pm PST

Please submit 3 cards per prompt, by placing them in the envelope and the envelope in the box. Each card, including the blank, can only be used once. The blank card must have a drawing, not a word, and may not directly depict the prompt.

"Swimsuit," huh...?

....

[Oh you.]

Water and the dress might work well for that.

[ Crow grins at Dusk. ]

Actually, I was thinking...

[ He lays out three cards:

]

[Somehow I missed the middle one at the first look.]

Isn't that-

Oh, I guess that isn't a swimsuit itself.

Yeah, that works.

Exactly! It's close but not quite there.

All the better then.

[

] These would work for castle and maybe....

[

] Either this because castles usually are places of governmental power or... [

] Because usually made of stone.

Let's go with the rocks, I like that one better. And maybe for "Mother..."

[

]

[He nods.]

[Considers a moment.]

I think those would work.

I think we're good to submit?

Looks good to me! We work pretty good together, huh?

We are pretty efficient.

Or at least just interpret symbols the same way.

Let's just hope whoever we're supposed to be working with does, too.

That is always the sticking point. [CLOVER KNOWS IT WELL.]

Swimsuit:

Castle:

Mother:

Yeah... well, we'll just have to see how it goes.

At least it's just losing pictionary this time.

[Though he'd rather not lose, but SYMBOLS.]

I can handle losing...

[ Crow grins. ]

...but winning is so much more satisfying.

It really is. It'd be a real shame for our first team up to not end in a win.

Exactly! So we've gotta win and that's just all there is to it.

For this round, you must use the cards sent to you to determine your partner team's prompts. All prompts are single word concepts. Your clues are as follows:

1.

Please submit your answers by 10:00PM PST.

....two might be ground?

...You know, I can see that. I almost think one is "spice."

Growing things, then rocks. Don't use grass so we don't think it's grow.

I could see that. Save for the sticks?

The sticks are throwing it off, yeah....

Really, the first two could be a lot, but the sticks are throwing it off.

But there are spices that are stick like, like cinnamon and vanilla is a flavor.

Alright, let's go with spice then. I'm confident enough to give that guess a try.

Three, though... Somehow, I want to say "egg." A bird lays eggs, and a baby would be inside one, and a circle could be an egg.

[Considering for a few moments.]

Could be. They did bypass fish, but they could have thought we needed to see the baby. But they did bypass fish Only other thing I could think of is Cherub, but I'm not sure if those definitely have halo's, and the blue circle is kind of distant for that.

Edited 2019-12-07 03:35 (UTC)

I thought about "cherub" too, actually.

....wanna go for that? If we both thought it, might be it.

Let's give it a shot.

All right.

So Spice, Ground, and Cherub?

Yep. Let's do it.

1. Spice
2. Ground
3. Cherub

And done.

Time to see if we're as good at reading them as making them.

[ Crow grins again, tucking his hands behind his head. ]

I have confidence in us.

[He chuckles.]

You're a pretty reassuring person to be around. You know that?

[As you're talking, suddenly another card comes out of your box. It's a blank card, coloured on as such:

This isn't part of your clues but it sure is cute!]

Haha, thanks! I try.

...Oh, that's cute. Should we respond to them?

....good luck?

Sure.

...wouldn't happen to know what a Yew tree looks like, would you? Yew, number two.

[ Crow is already sketching a thing. ]

[He's not gonna self portrait, so have a sketchy version of this]

Perfect! Let's send it.

Sounds good to me.

[Sending off cute things ftw]

After you submit your responses, a slip of paper comes out of your box.

☆ Your partner team's prompts were Lollipop, Garden, & Egg.

☆ You guessed zero correctly!

After this, a door opens in your conference room, allowing you to proceed to endgame.
