RATATOSKR

[soulping]

[ Inside the tree, it's much larger than it seemed on the outside, or is it that you're much smaller? In any case, the air smells of pine needles and sap, and there are comfortable chairs scattered around for you to sit in, as well as a table in the center of the round room. There's something on that table... ]

ROUND 1

[soulping]

[ A swirling blob of chaotic potential hovers over the table. Beneath it is a stiff cardboard box decorated with a leafy pattern in gold and silver. The box is open. Before it is a note in a messy but readable hand: ]

Think of a gift for team Ometotchtli, and it will be theirs. You must be reasonable, but you may be creative.

A gift for 'em, huh? [CONSIDERING.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[heron]

Do you know any of them?

Re: DISCUSSION

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Well, I was just talking to Quart. Talked briefly with two others. Do you know any of them?

Re: DISCUSSION

[heron]

Not at all.

Re: DISCUSSION

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Well...not sure on the other two.

But Quart knows Physics things, so maybe we should have a physics type present?

A set of three sand timers. The bases will have a fancy glass design. With little bunnies!

The smallest timer will have a max of ten minutes. However, one side will be segmented. For more accuracy, the segmented ends can be turned to adjust the amount of sand that's being timed with. The increments are one minute each. The bottom will also have lines for the minutes past. The time will start with a little latch and once all the sand has fallen to the bottom, the latch will release so a little bell will ring. Bright yellow sand.

The medium timer will have a max of thirty minutes. It'll also have the segments, but instead of increments of ten minutes. Also little dashes at the bottom for timing and a latch bell ringer. Red sand.

The largest timer will have a max of six hours. It'll have segments with increments of thirty minutes. Little dashes and latch bell ringer. Blue sand.

[Pop! The swirl of potential materializes into a lovely set of colorful, complex sand timers. They fall into the box below, land on some packing material, and are followed by some more packing material. The box then closes up tight and disappears.]

[Oooo, that was cool! =O]

ROUND 2

[soulping]

[ A box just like the one you put your gift in during the first round now sits alone on the table. It is closed, with a shiny red bow on top. Before it is a note in a messy but readable hand: ]

Make a guess about what's in this box, and it will be yours. You may ask up to ten yes or no questions, but you may not open the box.

Ten yes or no questions, huh? Oh, that is hard.

Re: DISCUSSION

[heron]

Let's approach this the same way the others would have. What best represents us?

Re: DISCUSSION

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Well, if they were around for the last game, purple may be in the color scheme. Something functional too. Did make that important.

We could probably mark off a lot if we asked if it's for use around the house?

Is the item something that's for use around the house-slash-dorm?

Re: ATTEMPTS TO IDENTIFY THE GIFT

Re: ATTEMPTS TO IDENTIFY THE GIFT

Is it something that can be worn?
