I'm the new barista. I'm telling my friend about my shift later that evening.

I'm the overnight front-desk clerk. I've been logging these complaints all week.
I'm a new hire on my first day. I saw something the HR rep thought was funny, and I'm not sure I get the joke yet.
I'm the maintenance guy here. I've been coming Mondays through Fridays for three years to reset the place.
Every 5Qs puzzle is built around a constrained voice. The voice knows the answer but can only communicate within a specific perspective — a doorman new to the city, a dog who only thinks in smell and crunch, an empty lot that has never been occupied before. The voice will not name the answer outright. The fun is figuring out what to ask so that the lens reveals enough for you to put a name on what the voice is describing.
