I think Washer is the strongest to start.

Washer is good, for sure.

I think Tornado is the other Spin, instead of Sling or Whip (although I see the possible connection those could have).

If Tornado (“Eye” -> “Mascara”) is indeed a second answer for Mascara, we would still need one more.

I’m hesitant to go for it here though - if the other team can win next turn it won’t matter, and if they can’t, we can see more words taken off the board.

The problem I’m having is that there are a lot of possible options without anything really strong jumping out. Three of the suggested answers in the first round belonged to the other team!

So I’m seeing:

Pocket (it’s small, fits in a pocket, could be carried around in a pocket for quick application, and I’m not sure, but “Pocket Mascara” might be a thing)

Spot (like blotch, or an area that needs touching up)

Stream (Mascara can run, mimicking a “stream”)

And possibly even Point or Hide…

Faust has also been incredibly stubborn this game. In other news, it's hot in the summer, and water falls from the sky when it rains.

Regardless - I would go Tornado & Washer here to start.

Tornado - washer

I like Stream and Pocket the best out of your mascara options.

Only 2, hmmm?

SLINGs and Arrows is something... (am expression or maybe a TV show?)
Arrows POINT
They point to SPOTS
CRUSADERS used arrows
SAILs care about wind direction (this one is surely a stretch)

I think I like POINT best, and then I'd vote for SLING (but am a little wary there with SPIN...)

I'm very sure of the expression "slings and arrows" and it definitely seems the kind of thing WCD would know.

Sling would be my first guess as well if I had to make one, definitely not against going for it. I think there's some chance we hit red or assassin too though.

No way it's assassin, so let's go for it:

SLING

On the bright (?) side, it hit a word they were already clued for, so it could've been worse.

It's from Shakespeare, from the famous Hamlet monologue (To Be or Not to Be). Also the name of a very funny Canadian TV show about the theater.

I knew it! At least I was right about something - even though it was red. (maybe we should've passed and let red team stress about it - oh well)

And yeah, I think I was aware of the TV show as well. (though have not watched)

Pocket seems obvious (ie pickpocket).

Hide seems likely - either hiding yourself or hiding your loot.

Ring seems possible, as something valuable a thief might target.

Crusader maybe.
