she has given up on her hat at this point, so her long hair is lava, and it drips, but never goes anywhere. her eyes are also starting to turn one solid color.]
[lup's lava hair and eyes get a concerned glance - which is, uh, an eerily glowing green one! the veil is still in place, but there's a green glow that is faintly visible through the veil at eye level.]
It's like, a game? Where you have a word, and you have to guess letters to fill the spaces and get the word. And every letter you get wrong you have to draw a body part on the person in the noose, and if you draw a full person because you guessed all the wrong letters, they die and you lose.
... Yeesh, that sounds so morbid when you explain it.
[that is really morbid, yeah. the glow behind their veil vanishes for a few seconds, then reappears - almost as if they closed their eyes and then opened them again.]
I see. That doesn't really sound like a fun game, to me, but... you must have a reason you're asking.

It's fine, don't worry about it. [she says, sharply. wow, they didn't even say anything. a beat.] Do you play hangman in your off time?
no subject
...hangman? What?
no subject
Yeah, hangman. Do you even know what that is?
no subject
I... don't, no. I know what the word means, but it doesn't really make sense in context.

The reason I'm asking is because Emet-Selch told me he found something during his excursion, so I was going to see if you knew anything about it.

[there's a pause, and they look for a second like they want to say something else, but - they end up not doing so, for now.]

[and she hands them a hangman!]
Does this look familiar to you at all?
no subject
they groan]
Oh, no. Don't show this to Gemini, because we're all going to be in for a lecture if they realize someone was playing games instead of taking notes.
no subject
Oh, he -- they're going to be so mad, then? [her ear flicks.] It might be too late for you. Emet-Selch was going to talk to them about it.

[just. staring at hangman.]
You said Emet-Selch found it during his excursion? Did he tell you what was happening when he found it? Maybe that would give us some kind of clue.
no subject
[she just goes phbblbhththtt.] I'll talk to him again and see.
