At Harrow's left sits a jar full of jellybeans, with three envelopes neatly leaning up against it. Those curious can shoot it a look and, with a long-suffering sigh, he'll explain:
"It's a game. I have some prizes. You can win them." Which isn't enough, and of course the word
prizes will get some raised eyebrows and an edge of excitement, so he'll straighten out of his unhappy, slumped expression to explain.
"I put somewhere between, I dunno, 500 and a thousand jelly beans in there. You have to guess how many there are -- no counting -- and at the end of things I'll dump them out and count them up. The closest three people will get the envelopes, each of which corresponds to a fancy prize."
But what's in the envelopes?
"Are you serious? They're a free prize, does it really matter? Just
guess a number." Harrow shakes his head and sets his chin back on his hand, scowling a bit.
__________________________________________
To participate in the jellybean jar, simply enter this thread and and
guess a number between 500 and 1000. No dice involved: you get to pick your number, any number you'd like. You can only guess once per character. On the last day of the event, I'll roll to see how many there are, and the three closest guesses will win the letters above! Note that if two people are equally close I'll randomly roll between them to see who gets what.
Please use the following for your guesses, so that I can easily see them, and also RP at least 1-2 sentences of your character approaching the booth and placing their guess.
