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.]

The best way to win games with yes/no questions is to ask compound questions.

Like, "Does this heart belong to somebody who is a male or whose name appears after 'M' in the alphabet?"

I kind of like your idea earlier regarding Wed, Bed, and Behead as our opener. I think it's a good way of narrowing things down.

They aren't mutually exclusive. If the answer is 'no' we've basically gotten two pieces of information with one question.

Well, I'm good with it.

[Smirks]

Pretty clever there, Flamingo.

I like games, y'know? Comes with being a clown.

[ taps his own nose ]

Honk.

If being a clown gets us through this, then I'd almost be willing to put on a nose, too.

Maybe if the second part was a little wider? Like M-T or something?

I meant it even wider than that, M-Z. But you're right in that we should definitely be that specific.

If we compound it with the one you suggested before later, it might work really well? I've weirdly met a lot of people without trying.

Compound questions are definitely a good idea, we just need to be careful how we phrase them don't we?

Yeah, yeah we do. I'd say we should do that no matter what, in fact.

Hey, not bad.

Thanks. I like these kinds of games when our lives, like, don't depend on them.

I could get behind that.
