Parlour Games, Friday, 5/24
The classroom was once again set up to resemble a comfortable living space, with soft chairs in a circle and a table at the side with little snacks. But unlike last week, Jack was a tiny bit ... off because of the phase of the moon -- the beast was very close under his skin today. He'd been drinking decaffeinated tea all morning in an effort to soothe himself enough to teach, and it seemed to be working as long as he wasn't provoked.
He very much hoped none of his students provoked him.
"Welcome back," he said. "The game we're playing today is one I'm sure many of you have played before, called twenty questions. Each of you should think of a person, place or thing, and then pair off. The guesser may ask up to twenty questions to figure out what is being thought of; the fewer questions you need to ask, the smugger you can be about guessing right. The questions should almost always be answered with 'yes' or 'no,' though it is permissible to say something like 'it depends' or 'partially' if the question is otherwise unanswerable. Once the first person's object is guessed, switch roles. Settle in, have a snack if you want, and get to playing. I'm here to referee should you need it."
And then he took a long gulp of tea.

Not unless someone had built a really, really, seriously massive television she hadn't heard about, yet.
