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.

[LUCIEN YOU CAN'T JUST DO THIS TO HER? LUCIEN????

Which is to say, she kind of stiffened and started to flush immediately.]

...Of course I am, Lucien.

I am relieved to hear that. I had worried that, given how I am, I was just causing you further problems.

[See! Right answer! You made the boy happy!]

[she is going to die again just from sheer heart palpitations.]

You're not, believe me. Helping you isn't a problem for me.

I am relieved to hear that. Perhaps I will be able to return the favor, one day.

[Hey, you're undead, that should be less of a problem for you than most.]

So I believe it's my turn again... Dare?

I'm sure you will.

[She's considering this for a moment.]

Go introduce yourself to three new people.

[Naeva, are you going easy on him?]

...Right now? In the middle of this?

[He blinks a bit; he wasn't expecting such a dare.]

Why not? There are people here gathered together, without any strange alcohol...a game such as this may be a good way to get to know them, even.

[ . . . ]

You can always refuse, if you would rather.

Refusing defeats the purpose of the game, does it not? So I suppose I will be back momentarily.

[He gets back up, then, and heads off to find some people.]

[In the meanwhile, she's gonna go bully the fuck out of Crow.

Maybe put a leash on your dog when you remember, Luci.]

Naeva?

[HE KNOWS THAT LOOK even if he doesn't know why he knows that look.]

[Well now she's extremely flustered but she's coming up to him. Right. Up to him.]

Lucien. [How do you even approach this.] I, er...I'm sorry about this.

[Sorry about what?]

What, pray tell, are you apologizing for, Naeva?

[Oh no. Someone's getting called on the carpet for this. It's not something she gets to put off.]

...This was a dare, so. Please excuse my boldness.

[Right. Just. Grabbing him by the collar.

>Naeva used Smooch!]

[ Please ignore the cheering and whistling from over here. ]

[Oh I'm sorry were you expecting him to just faint or freeze up, Naeva? No, that wouldn't be enough to make her life hell. This is a proper romantic movie climax kiss, because she's clearly so into him that he might as well really try for her, right?

This won't cause a problem at all for them being in public at all, we're sure. Everything's fine.]

[oh god she hecked up she hecked up she hECKED UP--

Yeah she'll uh. She's sure not going to pull away, but she's aware that he has to, you know, breathe so eventually she does step back. Flushed. Kind of obviously dazed. Heart palpitations.

I can't believe Naeva is fuckin' dead.]

I apologize but, you'll have to give me a moment after such a dare. That was passing bold, Naeva.

[Oh god, this is dumb and he'll probably be mortified it happened in public once he gets over the initial rush.]

[She's already mortified enough for the both of them. Like literally putting her face in her hands.]

Take...take your time.

[He laughs a little bit at that reaction and places a hand on her shoulder.]

Are you quite alright, Naeva?

...It's a little embarrassing, to do this in public.

[Along with all these complicated emotions.]

I think we hold ourselves to a higher standard than most of our peers.

I think that most of our peers don't remember, and thus are free from, the expectations of their own societies.

[Puffing air into her cheek.]

Well, it isn't as though anyone is here to report back on us.

[If he reaches out and strokes her hair a bit will that help?]

[She.

Just went incredibly red. Soft yip. Leaned into hand on instinct.

Lucien why are you petting her in public? Lucien pls.]

I...I suppose that's true...

[Well he doesn't remember it being incredibly improper and she also really liked it last time????]

So do relax, Naeva. We are not going to be scolded for acting such.
