[Amid the sounds of the Institute break room comes the noise of a crisp bagel being buttered, followed by a particularly bored drawl. With little elaboration to where this is coming from, a clearly very hard at work Dorian simply asks:]

Three points per round, and the first to three rounds wins. Foul for rhetoric, repetition, synonyms, and statements. No non sequiturs. Now, is anyone up for a game of questions?

[ Ah. ]

Are you bored, then, dear Dorian?

[flashystyle]

What gave you that impression, dear Byerly?

Voice | un: BishopRunout

[poolhall_killer]

You've piqued my interest. Let's begin, shall we?

[flashystyle]

Oh for goodness sake, my man, foul already. Statement - Point to Dorian.

[If anyone can make biting into a bagel sound smug, it's Dorian.]

Start again.

[heraldsdawn]

You have nothing better to do I take it?

[ Is he playing? Who knows. ]

[flashystyle]

Do you have anything better for me to do?

un: nash

[latkje]

[ From the other side of this feed, there's a few seconds of pristine silence. And then: ]

How do you play this game?

[flashystyle]

[Dorian laughs from being left in suspense for that, but continues without hesitation.]

Would you like me to repeat it for you?

un: SizzleItUp@LinkedIn

[chaoticlootral]

What the fuck?

[flashystyle]

[That really shouldn't count because it's rhetorical, TAAKO, but who is he to resist this line of questioning?]

Who the fuck?

[taryon]

I'm afraid I don't understand.

[ Dammit Taryon. ]

[flashystyle]

[Dammit Tayron, you beautiful angel. He almost feels bad. Almost.]

Foul - statement. Point to Dorian. What's so difficult about answering questions with questions?

un: wellsuited

[ofobedience]

I'm not sure I quite understand how to play.

[flashystyle]

And that's a point to me.

[He's writing this down on his napkin.]

Weren't you listening when I spelled it all out for you?

voice | un: colt.saa

[shashka]

Is this really the best way to spend your time?

[ is he playing? he's playing. ]

[flashystyle]

Are you doing anything better with yours?

[punshots]

[ Ah, he understands the rules...he thinks. ]

Is there gonna be a prize?

[flashystyle]

[Smart boy, for someone that seems a mess.]

What kind of prizes do you want?

video; un: deathweaver

[respired]

What kinds of questions?

[flashystyle]

What kind of questions do you like to ask?

[agradecido]

[Not the sort of mind games he's used to playing--a statement he almost lets slip, but it peters out into a quiet non-word. This is going to be difficult.]

Ah, but how can one expect to defeat the master?

[flashystyle]

[Come now, the roguish type are at least quicker thinkers than their heavily armored companions.]

Are you the master, or am I?

audio | un: aceofhearts

[exorion]

What do I get when I win?

[flashystyle]

Are you opposed to a gift basket?

audio; un: armstrong

[wallofbriggs]

How many have said yes?

[flashystyle]

Can you not count on your own?

un: badgerlock

[badgerlock]

What manner of questions?

[flashystyle]

Do the possibilities excite you?

audio; un: beatrix

[fiendennor]

I'm intrigued.

How do you play?

[flashystyle]

You start by giving me a point for that foul.

Try again. Make it interesting.

Science not cutting it today?

[flashystyle]

Is doctoring not keeping you entertained?

audio, un: Linneus

[inaurare]

[a light chuckle over the device. These games rarely ended in his favour, in childhood. He doubts it will end much better now]

Then for a time shall I relieve your idleness?

[flashystyle]

How long a time will you relieve me?

un: trickfoot

[trickfoot]

[This seems like a fun game.]

But what's the prize?

[flashystyle]

What would your ideal prize be?

audio; un: Rivaini

[seagoing]

Is it truly that boring where you are?

[flashystyle]

Are you opposed to play between work?

audio | un: justice

[whatisright]

What is the purpose of this game?

[He thinks he's figured out how it works from how people are responding, but he still doesn't get it.]

[flashystyle]

Do you exercise your mind regularly?

[Come on, spirit, you can do this.]

audio; un: R

[winecasks]

Ah, but monsieur, you've made certain that you'll best all of us with rules such as those, haven't you? Why such militant guidelines?

[flashystyle]

If there weren't guidelines, would the game ever end?

audio; un:xxDogLOVERxx

[otiosity]

What do you have against a good non sequitur?

[flashystyle]

What do you have against following guidelines?

audio, un: a.izunia

[daemonized]

How many of these have you won so far?

[flashystyle]

Have you seen a game end?

audio: un: swan

[sheriffing]

What prompted all of this?

[ questions? she has plenty of those, but there are already too many rules for her liking. ]

[flashystyle]

[Hey, sheriffs gotta follow the rules.]

What made you answer?

text; un: mad-dog

[hannya]

What do synonyms got to do with anything

[This is more a genuine question than him playing, but he'll realize what he's tripped into soon enough.]

[flashystyle]

[He didn't even use a question mark? What is this low effort garbage, Majima.]

Is it truly fair to ask why and what for in succession?
