The Sixth Trial: Group C

[hot_mess_express]

[Upon entering your assigned door, you find yourself in what appears to be a dressing room. Right now it's bare of supplies -- instead there's a pair of laminated posters laying on the makeup counter. Across the top of the first is a theme in big, cheerful font:

A Bloody Supernatural Horror
Starring: Not You!

Below that is a set of blanks, to be filled out by you with the marker provided:

Characters: ________, ________, ________
Nouns: ________, ________, ________
Verbs: ________, ________, ________

The second poster is similar, but most of it's totally blank.

████████████████
Starring: ________, ________, ________

Characters: ████████, ████████, ████████
Nouns: ████████, ████████, ████████
Verbs: ████████, ████████, ████████

Now what do we do here...?]

ROUND ONE

[hot_mess_express]

The voice chimes in again:

Here's your first assignment: instructions for another group! Your targeted rival (chosen by me, of course), must act out a play according to the theme provided to you. Their only clues will be what you give them on this sheet. You could choose to communicate their theme to them effectively... Oooor you could decide to promote yourself by leading them astray. But keep in mind, you're also at the mercy of whoever has your theme. Choose wisely!

INSTRUCTIONS

[hot_mess_express]

Fill out the blanks on Sheet #1, to be given to your target group. You must choose:

- 3 character roles
- 3 nouns
- 3 verbs

You may not tell the other team their theme. Whether the information you send is accurate to the theme or not is up to you. You have 45 minutes to submit your answers.

nice. ]

[desirestruth]

Mr. Bird?

[please tell us you have any fuckin' idea what's going on here.]

[howlsitgoin]

...Should be fine if we tell them to scream and die.

[unaffective]

With consideration to the premise of most games in this place - it'd be most prudent to ensure them capable of understanding our theme, I believe.

DECISION

[hot_mess_express]

written down

[desirestruth]

roles: Scared Love Interest, Victim, Ghost(s?)
verbs: Screaming, Dying, Spooking

ROUND TWO

[hot_mess_express]

[After you've written your answers down, the first sheet disappears, and you're left only with the second.]

"Second assignment: choose your actors! Nominate three members of your team to play out your assigned roles. Choose fast."

DISCUSSION

[MAYBE IF SHE TURNS INTO A JACKAL AND HOLDS VERY STILL NO ONE WILL NOMINATE HER?]

Re: DISCUSSION

[cawnflict]

...the bigger puppy wants to do it pretty badly, so I don't mind going as well, to hold his hand through it.

[ he hates you, eclair ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[unaffective]

I don't mind it.

DECISION

[hot_mess_express]

ROUND THREE

[hot_mess_express]

[After you nominate your actors, the room goes dark for a moment.

When the lights come back on, the dressing room is full of props, costumes, makeup, and set pieces -- anything your characters might want is probably there, but all of it is cheesy and not very high quality. A door has appeared -- you now have access to the stage on which you must act!

Also, your second sheet is now filled out:]

████████████████
Starring: Group C!

Characters: Wolf as the Assassin , Elaine as the Crime Boss , & Ciabatta as the Crime Boss’s Heir
Nouns: Affair, Gun, Riverboat
Verbs: Murder, Kiss, Avenge

And finally: your time to shine! Use the clues your rivals have given you to put on your best show. May the best man win!

...So am I having an affair or murdering or avenging or...

SCENARIO

[hot_mess_express]

[Once you’ve decided what to do, play out your improvised scene! You have until 11pm.]

[howlsitgoin]

[ALRIGHTY. Our play begins... on a boat! A makeshift... boat...

Anyway Eclair's dressed like a ninja. And he's "sneaking up" on Elaine, w/e she is doing.]
