[Clarence has mounted his phone camera in such a way that the feed is focused on a desk where a piece of plain lined paper rests. Clarence’s hand enters the frame and he poises it over the paper. Slowly, he marks out several small, horizontal lines and divides them with a slashes. Then he speaks:]

Anyone want to play Hangman? The hint is “official title.”

[[L O R D | O F | C H A O S]]

[Status of man: alive! He has been saved! However there is now a long horizontal line as the base of the scaffolding with a vertical line shooting up from the middle and another horizontal line hanging off the top; the scaffold is complete. There is also a small line hanging down from the top, and a round circle is attached. Things were getting grim for the condemned man, but he is now FREE!.]

[Five wrong guesses were put forth. Incorrect guesses: X, Q, T, E, J]

[Clarence adds a few notes at the bottom:]

[Congrats to Wu Wuxian for guessing the correct phrase! Honorable mentions go to Emberto for doing his best and to Anakin for keeping with the spirit of the answer.]

Yeah for anything that you might use an alternate name for. When I am on stage, my name is Xian. So could be good for like a magician or a comedian or something like that.

Huh. I hadn't thought of that. Interesting idea...

I'll take that into consideration. There's still a lot I don't know about my past life or memories, or even how the world worked there. I need to keep an open mind... probably.

Yeah I can understand that. But eventually the mystery will get unraveled right? So it will just take a little time and then eventually you'll know what it means. For now it is kind of fun to take guesses at it and see which ends up being the right answer.

I would hope so. As long as it doesn't end up with me, like... Well.

Anyway, that's an interesting way to think of it. Guess I'll keep throwing darts until something sticks.

Well Good luck! And if you decide to have another game, count me in.

For sure! I had fun with this little puzzle. I'm glad you enjoyed it too.
