UNHOLY DISORDER

[Something is wrong with the room you are in.

At first blush, it seems normal enough. It's nicely furnished, lavish dark oak, brass and a rich green drapery and carpet. Except in the middle of the room, a simple glass box sits wrapped in chains. Inside, a heart rocks back and forth as it beats, chambers constricting and relaxing around air.

But the more you look around, you might notice that the rafters beyond the brass lamps are made of bone, spine connecting them all. You might notice that the binding on all of the books seems to be an unusual leather. You might notice that teeth have been used as nails.

You almost can't help but notice the strange ... give... under your feet. Whatever is under the carpet seems almost spongy.

You know, instinctively, that the heart is in danger.

But so are you.]

Okay, the obvious questions are things like, "is this person a male" - since it's yes or no we can't give multiple options, which sucks. But, uh, that and like, are they over twenty, but that still leaves a lot of narrowing down. There's one thing, looking at the people on the list... if we ask, "do they have amnesia?" it'll either cut it down at lot, or just eliminate a small group.

... I think there's too many guys on this ship? That asking if they're a girl this time is honestly better. But the amnesia one might be okay.

Well, yeah, asking either way it's a yes or a no so we'll know, just, we can't ask "are you a boy or a girl" because the answer is yes.

The amnesia one is kinda high risk high reward so we might want to save it for after we've narrowed things down. I think... most of the amnesiacs I know about who are on this list are dudes? But I don't know all of them.

[ BYPASSING THE FIRST ONE BECAUSE PLAYER BRAIN IS STUPID AND HURTING ok- ]

Dove is.

[ But she's been missing and not here, so different story. ] We can do it later if we need to? I think we need something that wouldn't be something we largely know as guys.

[ ah. right. just - nods in acknowledgement of that, and also acknowledgement of moving on without examining feelings they don't have time for, yup. ]

Mm.

It's one of those - if it is a girl, it cuts down our options immensely, but if it isn't then we're basically in the same position we were in the first place. So, yeah, save it for later.

Yeah, I think we can come up with something a little less pedestrian than girl/boy questions.

[ at least it's teasing ]

What about "Does this person come from a family whose name is somewhere between A-H, excluding 'the' in the name".

That could help split the families up.

That is a good one, yeah - if it's Family names that's only a few options. And we can narrow it down from there more easily.

There are some people I'm not familiar with but I think the dudes are about three times the dudettes for this performance. So it's a bit...
