GAME 5 - ROSE

[crittersheep]

This VIP room would probably be welcoming under any other circumstance. As is, it's poorly lit and doesn't appear to have a door. There is a fully stocked cabinet of alcohol in the back as well as a circular couch. There's snacks as well, but nothing really substantial . . . except for maybe the goat cheese balls.

Before you on a table sits a marble plate with dips for placing things. Nearby is a small notecard with instructions written in flourish:

Place a secret in the corresponding spot while speaking the name of the person you want it to apply to on that flock. Point values can be found on the back of each secret stone. The walls will not come down until at least three secrets have been played. Failure to earn at least three points will result in an automatic loss.

Secrets that have been guessed correctly will be on display for all at the after party. ♥

Nearby, in a small dish, your secret stones can be found. A list of names can also be found on a sheet of paper on the table, with a little note on the side: Choose wisely.

full submission was too long for a header lol

[finalbows]

<sub>[ well the first thing to establish here is that I'm going to draw him in this romper, but maroon and slightly more sequined.


...powers off means tail out, right when he was in the middle of doing a stealth mission to go harass someone for a quest for locks.....

there's a moment of surprise before ]</sub>


...I don't suppose the locks would have stopped this.

[finalbows]

_{[ he'll freak out over being a sketchy bitch in a minute ]}

[themanofyourdreams]

...

Hey, they brought the booze back.

[Face-Making Devil is wearing a rose-colored button-up shirt with an open black suit jacket and pants. He grabs a bottle of champagne before sitting down. He has decided that this game is fine too.]

[finalbows]

Quickly enough it wouldn't make us too happy to see it again, I suppose. _{[ not taking any, this time, until he sees if it has some kind of effect on ol' facey first. ]}

Re: This person aspires not for their own survival, but Lupin's. (2)

[finalbows]

For Lupin...? Well, it's got to be a Thistle, doesn't it? And there's been a bit of a rotating door on those. But, really! Who would place someone's life over their own after just a fortnight of knowing each other...?

This person stole from their employer. (2)

[finalbows]

Re: This person stole from their employer. (2)

[pleasantmisery]

Ummmm... I mean, a lot of people do, especially if their employer's a jerk, so... This one doesn't really narrow it down! I guess if it's two points, it'd have to be someone who felt really really bad about stealing from their employer...?

This person is terrified of dogs, even small ones set them on edge. (2)

[finalbows]

Re: This person is terrified of dogs, even small ones set them on edge. (2)

[finalbows]

Well....................................................

One of us could bark near a wall, and see what happens. Might get a recognizable scream.

This person was coerced by the US government, using a little girl as leverage. (3)

[finalbows]

[themanofyourdreams]

Okay, I'm curious. Raise your hand if you have heard of the US government.

[RAISES HIS HAND,]

This person is a convicted criminal who has served actual jail time. (3)

[finalbows]

Re: This person is a convicted criminal who has served actual jail time. (3)

[catposting]

Biscuit did seem particularly wary of the jail...

This person is a recreation of a destroyed soul, a patchwork of low level spirits. (4)

[finalbows]

Re: This person is a recreation of a destroyed soul, a patchwork of low level spirits. (4)

[finalbows]

I might have a thought about this. _{[ he scrutinizes the six slots. yup. just flower teams. in that case... ]}

...yes, I believe I have a good guess.

They were made, not born. (5)

[finalbows]

[finalbows]

This one... could be me? I... used to hide my nature, as an Angel-- made moving around in the world easier, as you can imagine. But there's that... 5, marker...

I suppose it depends on how this is all quantified...? Whether it counts as a secret if it's one you once kept, or keep now... I do lean to it being the latter.

Zenith did kill Patches in the middle of the pasture.

This person has destroyed a city (1)

[finalbows]

Re: This person has destroyed a city (1)

[finalbows]

Is that really a.... single point offense....?

This person is a war criminal of the highest degree (zalgo)

[finalbows]

Re: This person is a war criminal of the highest degree (zalgo)

[finalbows]

How do you even decide what 'the highest degree' is, come ON!

[wearing this outfit, complete with the enormous earrings, and some gold chain and charms wound around her antlers for Extra Accessorizing.]

Wow, these shorts are...really short! Are they supposed to be this short??

[themanofyourdreams]

Hell yeah they are.

[RAISING CHAMPAGNE IN APPROVAL]

[strateelgic]

[Pond Fiend is in this dusty rose number and looking over himself with a curious hum. He doesn't hate it.]

We're looking to win, I hope?

[pleasantmisery]

[wearing this with some extra gold chains wound around her horns for decoration]

Looking good, Pond Fiend!

As for angling to win, we might need to take a vote on that... Though, I'm not sure we even know enough secrets to have a shot at winning anyway.

a stupid idea

[catposting]

[ after four secrets have been played -

behold, Blood Fiend's stupid idea.

Sooooo. What do you guys say to playing the rest of the secrets on Stormy? For all we know, there could be a win condition like "most secrets played". We've played four "legitimately". If Stormy shows up to zap us, just tell him it was my idea.

— I still want to play the last one on Blossom, but Stormy is the funnier option. Or Red. Or even the snake.

Re: a stupid idea

[finalbows]

_{[ after what he and shadow fiend talked about... ]}

...Play this one on him.

_{[ tosses him the 'patchwork of souls' rock. ]}

After zenith discussion,

[finalbows]

_{[ lounging Pointedly near blood fiend. ]}

...So? What were you, anyway? A human, turned into a cat? Makes sense, what with what you've done here.

Re: After zenith discussion,

[catposting]

With what I've done here?
