Conversation Game
Meliss and I kinda started playin this game in the halls of Lewis Mills. We were conducting a psychological experiment, I guess you could call it. I think the first official game started with a conversation about our livers.
"So, Meliss how's your liver today?"
"My liver feels fine. Nice and Purple. How's your's?"
"Really big. Gigantic."
"I bet my liver's bigger than your liver."
"Oh yeah? That's impossible! My liver is the biggest liver in the world."
"How would you know?"
"I measured it."
It went on something like that. That isn't the exact dialogue but it ran along the same lines, fighting over the size and shade of our livers. We got the desired reactions, although it would've been nice to watch someone run down the hallway yelling "Livers! Livers everywhere! That's all they talk about. The Livers! It's maddening!" So I guess you've figured out the gist of the game. It's just testing people's reactions against a conversation you hold with someone.
There really aren't any rules to this game. It's more or less like a tango. You both move and sway together, playing with the reactions of the on-lookers, or listeners in this case.
- Place:
- Should be public with plenty of people in listening distance. There should be just enough noise in the background so that you're not center stage and you aren't being rude. There shouldn't be so much noise that the person your talking with has trouble hearing whjat you're saying from a comfortable distance. A nice place would be a mall or at a restaurant.
- Procedure:
- You should wait until there is an unknowing victim within hearing range of you and your partner. You should chat with your partner as though it were just a normal conversation you were having, as though it were an everday topic. Don't make it obvious you're trying to let the person hear you. Make it seem as though you don't even notice the person.
- Topic of conversation:
- Something abnormal. Your dog has spores growing off of it that spit out pink fluid. The vet says it happens if you keep your dog in sun too much. Or maybe a famous hair product can make glass disolve. It should be something that you can build off of. If the person is eating or looking at or wearing something you notice, you should comment about that, as long as the person doesn't notice you saw them. Maybe the squid they're eating causes fingernail cancer. Be creative and watch the person's reactions. If it seems to be working than roll with it. See if there is a topic you and your partner can really hit home with.
