FRESH ROOSTERS

[soulping]

[ In this isolated chamber, there are enough chairs around the rickety, rotten wooden desk to seat everybody. Some sunlight streams through the boarded windows to give enough light. You have pencils, pens, some scrap paper to brainstorm with, and a formal test sheet to put your final answers on. ]

RULES

[leadstodeath]

►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.

QUESTIONS & TURN IN

[leadstodeath]

1. What is the Hippocratic Oath?
2. What are The Four Humors?
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?

Re: DISCUSSION

[harerazing]

...I know the answers to very few of these.

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

....

I know the answer to one.

Re: DISCUSSION

[harerazing]

Which is it?

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

Three.

There's medicine to help that. Ice may also help.

Re: DISCUSSION

[harerazing]

That's where our knowledge overlaps, but your answer is more thorough.

I believe five is a trick question, as many fevers can lead to death.

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

It's possible. Do you know what those fevers are called?

Re: DISCUSSION

[harerazing]

[shakes her head]

I do not.

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

I suppose just calling her out on it would have to do.

Do you know what schizophrenia is?

Re: DISCUSSION

[harerazing]

I have no idea.

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

We'll just have to focus on the sadness then.

Re: DISCUSSION

[harerazing]

Yes...

Feed them something delicious?

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

...would that make you not sad?

Re: DISCUSSION

[harerazing]

If I wasn't terribly sad, yes. But coming up with something that works for anyone is the problem.

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

Is it?

Re: DISCUSSION

[harerazing]

Yes. Different things work for different people.

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

Oh.

What do you think would be the most universal?

Re: DISCUSSION

[harerazing]

Food, as I previously suggested, or hugs.

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

...what is a hug?

Re: DISCUSSION

[harerazing]

...

Hold still.

[hugging you]

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

[What.]

[What are you doing.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[harerazing]

[hugging you

don't panic]

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

[BUT THIS IS DIFFERENT.]

[WHAT IS BEING TOUCHED WITHOUT IT BEING THE SOUL PLANE OR PAIN.]

What are you doing.

Re: DISCUSSION

[harerazing]

This is a hug.

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

And this is supposed to....help?

Re: DISCUSSION

[harerazing]

In theory.

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

I see.

[I am.]

[Very confused.]

I believe I understand the technical aspects of it.

Re: DISCUSSION

[harerazing]

All right.

[lets go, stepping back]

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

[I will just be...awkward over here.]

So.

Food and hugs for the depression.

The first one might have to do with an oath of a hypocrite?

Re: DISCUSSION

[harerazing]

So a lie?

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

Yes. Someone aims to break their word?

Re: DISCUSSION

[harerazing]

That seems as likely as anything.

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

[Nods.]

The four humors?

Re: DISCUSSION

[harerazing]

A series of jokes?

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

...perhaps?

[I do not know anything about humors.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[harerazing]

That doesn't seem right.

But I can't think of anything else.

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

Neither can I.

Is that everything then?

Re: DISCUSSION

[harerazing]

I believe so.

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

[Nods.] All right.

Re: QUESTIONS & TURN IN

[harerazing]

1. An oath made by someone who intends to break their word.
2. A series of jokes.
3. Medicine for headaches and ice.
4. A good meal and a hug.
5. This is a trick question. Many fevers lead to death.
