Who: Everyone
When: Day 13, afternoon
Where: Public Lounge

[ Guess who's trying to earn as many Sparks as possible? This guy. So on Day 13, sometime during the day each Team may have received a quick visit from this guy, encouraging them to come to the public lounge during the afternoon to partecipate on a get to know each other exercise. For anyone who asks, he'll explain on very generic terms that it's just a game of truth or dare or kiss, and he's going to try his best to convince people to actually show up.

For those who do show up at the public lounge in the afternoon, he's going to explain the basic set up ]

All right, so, the whole thing is pretty simple. Usually, I guess there should be something to spin or help with randomly selecting people, but that's going to get complicated, so let's skip that one. You see someone you want to get to know, you partner up with 'em.

Here's the rules. You ask your partner to pick Truth or Dare, and ask or provide your challenge accordingly. As the person who's been asked or challenged, you will have the option to back out of it by kissing your partner instead. Doesn't have to be anywhere specific, there's kids here.

You won't win anything out of it except, huh, my gratitude for taking part, I guess.

You're an incorrigble flirt with very few boundaries?

Oh good, so we are on the same page.

[ HE'S COMPLETELY UNREPENTANT. ]

My engagement not even going to slow you down, huh...

[She pauses. Squints at his outfit. Wait...]

...Well, pick one, then.

[ He shrugs loosely at that. ]

Flirting's harmless. I'll go with dare to start.

Don't say anything that could be taken as a come-on for...60 seconds.

[Naeva's mean.]

No problem, I can handle that?

[ Can he? ]

[She tilts her head, and raises an eyebrow.

Yeah she'll believe it when you make it, buddy.]

Why don't you pick something while my clock's ticking?

Truth, then. It's only fair, since I actually remember...

[Weird definition of fair, but ok, naeva.]

[ He can live with this definition of fair. ]

So what's your fiancé like?

Ah...[She's already gone a little red, just from the thought.]

He's...sweet. The world he lives in--that we both live in--doesn't give either of us much reward for being kind, and yet...

He's a deeply honorable man, and carries himself with the pride you'd expect of a king, but he is always willing, first and foremost, to do whatever he can to help someone in need. He does not wield his crown as a weapon with which to take all he believes owed, but views it instead as a responsibility to those he is sworn to protect.

[These are maybe odd traits to gush about, naeva--]

Also he somehow always smells like sunlight, his blood tastes kind of like candy and I think he's on your team?

[--WAIT HOLD UP.]

[ Wait hold up! ]

I'm gonna need you to go back to those last two points.

He was wearing purple? That's the team you're on, right? Oh, but he doesn't remember anything...so maybe don't tell him I said all this.

[That's. Probably not what he's worried about, Naeva????]

Yeah that's my team, although I haven't met everyone yet. And the blood....?

I need blood or life energy sometimes to survive? I can go a while if I don't use any magic, and I don't have to take enough to kill someone, if I'm careful about it.

[She's considering this.] I don't drink from anyone without consent. I can't. But I'm not sure how my loss of power will effect it...

You "can't"?

[ He's considering as well. ]

Not that I'm particularly worried, you don't strike me as the careless type.

I can't. Or shouldn't be able to, I am oathbound and oaths are...serious business, back home.

[She shrugs a bit.]

I'm not sure what all has changed about that, in coming here. I'm not going to test it.

That's probably for the best, one way or the other.

...So I guess it's your turn?

[this is awkward.]

Hit me with a truth question.

[ He doesn't miss a beat. ]

Did you ever find a name to go by?

Oh right, I forgot to update you on that. The name's Crow.

Crow...

[The thought 'But you definitely don't look like a bird' clearly passes over her face before she gets a handle on it.]

Well then. Crow it is.

[ Blame his parents. ]

I figure I'll change it if I end up not liking it, but it works for now.

It certainly works better than 'Hey, you there', that's for certain.
