It's Showtime! Time to Begin!

WHO: Lyney, Lynette, and You
WHERE: A Lounge Stage… Somewhere
WHEN: Late January
WHAT: A Little Introductory Word Game
WARNINGS: N/A

[ Elevator-riders today may notice an out of place card stuck on one side of the elevator, with the words "We invite you to Floor 11." Those who follow the guidance of the mysterious card and travel to the floor will find a trail of playing cards leading them to the floor's lounge, which has been brightly decorated in cat-themed decor of red and teal. There is also a gray and teal porcelain tea set on the table; the fragrant aroma of a rich black tea fills the air. There are also plates filled with shortbread cookies, scones with jam and small finger sandwiches.]

[ At the small stage in the center of the lounge are two similarly-dressed figures, smiling brightly (well one of them is) as people trickle in. The male of the pair steps forward to give a bow and a flourish of his arms. ]


Welcome to our welcome party, for us! We're so honored you could make it!

To help ourselves get settled in, we invite you to some tea and snacks made by my wonderful sister Lynette. Or to come and chat with myself, the humbly charming Lyney.

But if that isn't enough to keep things interesting, we invite you to play a game with us. A simple word game, of course, nothing complicated for our first meeting. Simply take the last word of our sentence and start your next sentence with it, and we will do the same. The first one to trip up is the loser! I must warn you though, my sister has a sharp way with words.

Ahem, now please enjoy yourselves and welcome to our starting show!

[ She nods slightly, impressed--Clara is also good at this game. ]

"Ago" does not mean long in your case, it is true--how are you enjoying your stay?

It has been rather relaxing, indeed—

[ Wait. ]

Oh! My, I answered without thinking.

Ah, but that means you are telling the truth about your experience, which is reassuring.

Yes, yes, this is not something I would lie about.

[ Way to leave that extremely open to interpretation, but— ]

Are you worried that you will not have an enjoyable stay?

[ She will raise one eyebrow slightly at the wording but won't comment on it. ]

Hm, I suppose it's in my nature to be cautious. Especially when it comes to situations where there isn't an obvious downside.
