VANARA

[soulping]

These dressing rooms are simple, but comfortable! A large, circular couch curls around a table, atop of which you find a bowl of fruit. There's a water cooler in one corner, and in the other there is a small, private booth.

Should you check out the booth, you'll find nothing inside except for a comfortable armchair. Oh, and it's completely soundproof. Completely.

ROUND 1 - QUESTIONS

[soulping]

[ Come up with your list of six questions! When you're ready, please make a new comment with "SUBMISSION" as the subject. ]

[wittlich]

[ ...she magics up some tiny brownies. forget the fruit. ]

[allergictostairs]

[He adds some little cat-shaped cookies, just because why not.]

...I suppose we shouldn't ask anything too personal.

[wittlich]

[ the smallest of smiles ]

That would be rather rude, wouldn't it. How do you feel about riddles?

[allergictostairs]

They'd be an interesting twist. I can't say I know any good ones, though.

[wittlich]

Lateral thinking puzzles may work, too, if phrased like questions.

[allergictostairs]

[Nods...]

Do you have any favorites in mind?

[wittlich]

Yes, actually.

Adults are holding children, waiting their turn. The children are handed to a man, who holds them while a woman shoots them. If the child is crying, the man tries to stop the crying before the child is shot.

What do you think the explanation is?

[allergictostairs]

...Vaccinations?

[those exist already in his world. probably.]

[wittlich]

Yes, that's one of the answers. The other is 'getting their picture taken with Santa Claus.'

[allergictostairs]

"Santa Claus"?

[who the heck is that. some kind of celebrity?]

[wittlich]

...you know, Santa Claus? St. Nicholas?

[allergictostairs]

[?????]

I'm afraid I don't.

[wittlich]

[ Well, that's strange. Although they also have a teammate from a world full of birds, so this shouldn't be too surprising. ]

He's the mascot of a holiday called Christmas that brings children presents in December if they've been good. Although, he's gotten quite commercialized in recent years, so there's often official Santas that shopping malls hire to sit around and take photos with children.

[allergictostairs]

[that sounded normal until the last part.]

Oh. [well. okay then.] How... nice of him.

[wittlich]

[ waving her hand ]

Anyway...I've got A man marries 20 woman in his village, but is not charged with polygamy. Why is this?

Do you have a preferred team?

[allergictostairs]

Because his wives all went and died one after another?

Let's ask our allies. We may as well help them get some points.

[wittlich]

Because he is a pastor; he married the couples to each other.

Epona?

[allergictostairs]

Oh.

[he's starting to get the feeling that maybe they're from slightly different cultures.]

Epona, then.

[wittlich]

[ goes to write them down and-- ]

...actually, who are our other allies? I may have more.

[allergictostairs]

Barghest, Alectryon, and Henwen.

[Magics up some candies in their respective shades of green and holds them up for emphasis.]

[wittlich]

Everyone else green? ...understood.

[allergictostairs]

All the green teams tend to stick together, I think.

[not that he's too familiar with which team is allied with which outside of his own. Chimera leaves those candies on the table, after adding Vanara's color for good measure. sorry, epona.]

Re: ROUND 1 - QUESTIONS

[allergictostairs]

[Questions. His favorite.

Chimera's just going to go get himself some water before he sits.]

SUBMISSION

[wittlich]

Epona: Here's a riddle: a man marries 20 women in his village, but he is not charged with polygamy. Why is this?

ROUND TWO

[soulping]

What makes you the happiest?

What do you like to eat as a team?

[Decide as a group how to answer all questions given to the team as a whole, whether you're going to answer as a group or appoint a spokesperson, and whether you're going to answer in public or private!]

Re: ROUND TWO

[allergictostairs]

[not it for number one.

They don't really eat together a lot anymore, honestly... hmm.]

[wittlich]

...would you like me to answer the first?

[allergictostairs]

...If you would, please. I'll come up with an answer for the second.

[wittlich]

Very well. I can answer in public, as well.

[allergictostairs]

I'll join you on stage.

[maybe the extra point will make up for a less interesting answer.]

ROUND THREE

[soulping]

The time has come to give your answers! Answers spoken while still in your team room will be taken to whoever asked through mysterious means.

[Once you're ready to turn in your private answers, please make a new comment titled submission! If you want to give your answer publicly, go here.]
