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 . . .

FINAL GUESS

[soulsurvivore]

[. . .]

[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.

[survivaltricks]

Are you with Lily, Bluebell, or Rose?

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

[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]

[AFTER THIS]

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

[survivaltricks]

That's why I said "with."

[because the Weeds are "with" those teams]

[pictureimperfect]

If that counts then yeah. Smart. let's do it.

[dadinside]

This ritual interrupted my gaming time.

[survivaltricks]

[and after they get an answer--]

"Are you human" will narrow it down even further.

[survivaltricks]

[. . . A BREATHLESS LAUGH]

That's rude. They owe you.

[pictureimperfect]

Wow, some people are sensitive about that kind of thing Senpai.

[dadinside]

Where do I lodge my complaint.

[dadinside]

Now what?

[survivaltricks]

Are you human?

[survivaltricks]

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

[survivaltricks]

[wryly]

I know, but at a time like this I think we have to throw politeness out the window.

[survivaltricks]

Unfortunately, there's no complaint box. You'll just have to take it out on the rage room.

[dadinside]

Could try gender, too.
