MY LITTLE PONIES & GOATS (WHO ARE FOOD FOR DRAGONS)

►You have two hours to answer all questions.
►Teams who do not answer all questions may leave with the flu.
►Answers will be judged based on “correctness” (from Sepsis’ point of view), though don’t worry if the answer isn’t right – she loves to laugh.
►Brainstorming/team interaction will also be judged; the more everyone is involved, the better! Have fun together!

QUESTIONS?

[leadstodeath]

Sepsis is still playing with her makeup and leeches back in the main room if you need her.

3. If a headache is persistent and severe, what is a method of curing it?
4. If a patient has depression and schizophrenia, what is a method of curing it?
5. What is the fever that leads to death?

[gandere]

This is gross. This is all too gross.

I want to leave!

[unguilded]

It's really gross.

Maybe we should just fill everything out standing up, in that case!

[ looking over the questions now and.



um. ]

[gandere]

[ Refuses to sit down. ] Sounds like the surefire way to beat this game!

[unguilded]

Ah, but anyway! My name is Rook. Let's do our best to work together to win, okay?

[gandere]

I was planning to win before you introduced yourself to me. [ Hmph. ]

I'm Schooler, you see. So something like questions should be an easy enough task to do on my own though I guess I could use your help.

[unguilded]

These seem like specific questions, though. Medical ones ... too bad Tart and Belt aren't here to play, they're both doctors.

Do you know anything about this sort of thing, Schooler?

[gandere]

Absolutely not, but that doesn't mean I'll give up.

Most of the others that I saw around the Echo's realm before we went into our rooms are idiots so there's a good chance they don't know either.

[unguilded]

I'm not one to give up, either. So let's do our best and try to at least give some well thought out answers on the off chance that we get closer than the others, then!

So the first question is about an oath. I'm not quire sure what Hippocratic is supposed to mean, but an oath is a promise. So maybe it's a promise to ... be a good doctor? Do your best to help people?

[onebullet]

[ Going straight to business, mainly to avoid dwelling too much on the state of the room they're in. ]

Hippo..? As in the animal?

[gandere]

Well, judging from the other questions, it might have something to do with Hippocrates? I mean, it sounds like something he'd do...

... but ah, I don't remember much about ancient Greece. Not yet at least. So it must have been a promise made back in the ancient times, yeah?

[gandere]

Maybe?

Or the ancient Greece guy. One of the two.

[unguilded]

I don't remember any names like that-- at least, not yet. Who was he?

[unguilded]

Oh, another Tiamat! Hi.

Schooler thinks it's named after a person.

[gandere]

Some paragon figure in ancient Greece--didn't I just say that?

I don't remember much, only that he's from that time period. Something to do with the creation of medicine maybe...

[onebullet]

Animal might explain the thing out there.

[ Jerks her head towards the door. ]

[onebullet]

Ancient Greece, right?

[ She knows nothing about it, she's just parroting. ]

[unguilded]

You didn't say what he did! So he's connected to medicine?

Maybe it is something like that, then, the oath.

[gandere]

Every team has an animal associated with them.

[ It took her a while to figure this out when their Echo was a bird, but their animal a horse. ]

I guess since we're from different teams... [ Gag. ]

[unguilded]

It seems that way. And connected to medicine, too. So if it's an oath then it probably has something connected to doctors and medicine. I said something like promising to always do your best to heal people.

[gandere]

He must be connected to medicine if the rest of the questions relate to it though I can't figure out if he's associated with mental health or physical health...

[onebullet]

[ Scratching at a paranoid itch on her collar. Everything about this place is gross. ]

So, who's this hippocratic guy?
