[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?

[flashystyle]

Wouldn't you like to lead the way?

[ofobedience]

You think I'm the type who prefers to lead, then?

[flashystyle]

Is that an incorrect assumption?

[ofobedience]

Would you say you know me well enough to make a correct one?

[flashystyle]

Are you implying I don't know you well enough?

[ofobedience]

What evidence do you have to the contrary?

[flashystyle]

Must seeing be believing?

[ofobedience]

Surely you can't have that much faith in me?

[flashystyle]

Why wouldn't someone put their faith in you?

[ofobedience]

Do I seem like a trustworthy sort?

[flashystyle]

Have you done anything untrustworthy since you've arrived here?

[ofobedience]

[Ah, well. This time his answering question is a little heavier, perhaps.]

Did you not see the public broadcast that went out some time ago?

[flashystyle]

[He pauses, because though he's quite certain he knows, he doesn't really know how to feel about that.]

The one three months ago?

[ofobedience]

Was there another government broadcast that I missed?

[flashystyle]

Ah - you made quite the mess for me, you know.

[It's worth the loss of a point.]

[ofobedience]

Is that so?

[His voice is a little cool, a little soft, though it's impossible to say whether there's anything of regret in it.]

Although, ultimately, it's not as though I set the bomb off, myself.

[He has set of bombs that killed thousands in the past...but not this particular one.]
