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.]

Why is our doll only a head....
bad_in_latin: (huh.)

[personal profile] bad_in_latin 2013-01-10 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
... This is suprisingly harmless.

[personal profile] tsuncience 2013-01-10 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
... Why a single head?
quarkylass: (huh | do what you're going to do)

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

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

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

Yayoi said it was a kid's game.

We should start with vowels. They're necessary, and common.
witheyesofgold: (Uh no a floaty-feeling dependency!)

[personal profile] witheyesofgold 2013-01-10 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
It is, but...

Re: Discussion

[personal profile] learntofly 2013-01-10 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
I think we'd feel more menaced if it was anything more than that.
quarkylass: (❊ startled | huh?)

[personal profile] quarkylass 2013-01-10 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
I've never played it. It seems kind of morbid!
quarkylass: (❊ faithful | good dog best friend)

Re: Discussion

[personal profile] quarkylass 2013-01-10 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
You're right. So what should we guess first?
quarkylass: (❊ baffled | whaa--??)

Re: Discussion

[personal profile] quarkylass 2013-01-10 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ considers this....and nods. ]

Which one? Probably not Y, since that's only a sometimes vowel.
bad_in_latin: (and you need me why?)

Re: Discussion

[personal profile] bad_in_latin 2013-01-10 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
Reckon a vowel might do us up good.
tsuncience: (And signed it just in case our work was)

Re: Discussion

[personal profile] tsuncience 2013-01-10 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
A, I, O, U. E could be used with 'es' to make a plural, so it's not as useful.
witheyesofgold: (But it isn't sad so hey)

Re: Discussion

[personal profile] witheyesofgold 2013-01-10 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
Mm, vowels are always good to start with.
learntofly: (Yes Dragonfly you're very pretty)

Re: Discussion

[personal profile] learntofly 2013-01-10 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
'A'?
witheyesofgold: (The water like a looking-glass)

Well, the more letters you get wrong, the more the figure will be completed. [gestures at the doll] You lose once it's complete.
quarkylass: (❊ sneaky | don't you like glitter?)

Re: Discussion

[personal profile] quarkylass 2013-01-10 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. A?

Re: Discussion

Let's just hope we never get there!

Mm, let's give it our best.
