THISTLE

[crittersheep]

You find yourselves in a room that's like an empty circus ring, smaller than the Big Top that you were just previously in. The stands surrounding it are completely empty and, for some reason, you cannot exit the tent. In the center, a magician's box dangles from the ceiling by a chain, with more chains winding around it and locking it shut tight. It dangles high above your heads, just out of reach. Instinctively, you know someone is in there.

Underneath the box is a small, circular table with a magic 8-ball sitting there. Just by looking at it, you all know that if you ask it a yes or no question, it will respond truthfully. You can only ask it up to three questions, though, and it takes a moment to reset.


Although the demon is not immediately visible, you can still feel its presence lurking about . . .

[JUST. GROANS]

[survivaltricks]

[and after groaning. . .]

. . . Lily, Bluebell and Rose have ten people, while Daffodil and Clover have seven.

So if we asked "are you with Lily, Bluebell or Rose," then either answer would eliminate at least half of the potential options.

[dadinside]

Smart.

[a weak smile]

I'm doing my best.

[pictureimperfect]

[looking down the roster, sweats]

What if it's one of the Weeds?

[survivaltricks]

That's why I said "with."

[because the Weeds are "with" those teams]

[survivaltricks]

[AFTER THIS]

Okay. So it's someone with Clover or Daffodil.

[dadinside]

Now what?

[survivaltricks]

"Are you human." That'll narrow it down even more.

[dadinside]

Could try gender, too.

[survivaltricks]

[and after this]

. . . so it's-- Tart, Biscuit, Muffin, Zenith or Warden.

[survivaltricks]

[AND AFTER THE LAST ONE. . .]

Zenith or Tart.

[pictureimperfect]

...Can we guess Tart?

Are you with Lily, Bluebell, or Rose?

[THIS IS NOT A MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION, he just wants a yes/no!]

Are you human?

FINAL GUESS

[survivaltricks]

Tart

[allreturnsarevoid]

Ah.

[allreturnsarevoid]

[The shadows leap from the walls, forming the shape of a great viper. Long fangs pierce the sides of the box.]

[allreturnsarevoid]

[And Tart is set gently down onto the table.

The demon is gone.]

[WHAT DOES THAT MEAN WHAT DOES THAT ME--]








[OH MY GOD]

TART!
