SAFFRON

[The tiny, medieval school room you wind up in is small, and just like the outside of the house, completely run down. Dust coats the desks, the windowsills, and the floors, and the windows are so tarnished that hardly any sunlight streams through. There doesn't seem to be a door. . .

A doll-sized gallows with a cloth doll in your team color sits in front of the room. . . er, well, actually it's only the doll's head hanging from the noose. Sorry about that! There is a series of horizontal lines etched into the base.]

[There are four cards on the teacher's desk in front of the room. Each one has a picture on one side, and a bit of text on the other. They're super old cards and look a little yellow around the edges. ..

Eraser: Erase one correctly named letter from another team's word
Trash Can: Erase another team's entire word, forcing them to start over
An eye: Check on a another team's progress (what round they're on, how many turns they've taken, how far they are in solving their word)
Arrows: Swap words with another team
Chalkboard: Guess two letters in one turn]

Why is our doll only a head....

... This is suprisingly harmless.

... Why a single head?

I think it's supposed to be a game...but what should we guess? They could be anything.

We should start with vowels. They're necessary, and common.

[ considers this....and nods. ]

Which one? Probably not Y, since that's only a sometimes vowel.

It's just a kid's game . . .

. . . I hope this isn't what it looks like.

Yayoi said it was a kid's game.

It is, but...

I've never played it. It seems kind of morbid!

I think we'd feel more menaced if it was anything more than that.

You're right. So what should we guess first?

Hmmm, I should warn you about this one! It's a bit unconventional, so make sure you guess unconventionally!

We would like to start with a Y, please.

Oh, and play the trash can card on either Teal, Copper Rose, or Lilac. If any of them are still playing!

Lilac it is ♥
