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 really enjoy games like this, don't you?

[The hand raising is cute...]

They're fun! And they're great meet & greet's.

I'm seeing that.

[Giggling a bit.]

Truth, then.

For you or for me first?

I thought I just asked you one? Although I'm fine either way, truly.

That's the standard way, yep.

...Hmm. Let me think, then...[Considering this with a look of intense concentration.]

Is there anyone you remember or currently have a romantic interest in?

[IS THIS HOW THIS WORKS.]

Yes on people I remember, mmmmaybe on currently. There's some interesting and attractive people here, but it could go either way with how little I know them yet.

I see, I see...well, best wishes to you, then.

[That was a cute answer, too! cute! cute!!!!]

Hm, I will also pick truth.

Thank you!

Is it cheating if I just ask you the same question? It's a good question.

[She goes a little red. Okay a lottle red.]

...Well, the answer's the same either way. It's just...a little complicated right now.

[connecting those two dots real quick...]

—is it the amnesiac guy you asked about?

...Yes.

[Her life is very hard.]

Oh, geez. ...at least he's here with you?

There...is that, yes.

[She sighs a little bit.]

It's your turn to pick, Miss.

I'll do Truth again.

[She's considering this.]

What was your life like, before coming here? If you remember that much.

I only lost powers, so I remember almost everything. Um, it's mostly a lot time spent doing research, studying, or prepping for summonings... It's been a lot of that pretty much nonstop for twenty years. I'm a necromancer, and right now I'm doing my postgrad in paleobiology.

Paleobiology...[She's sounding out the roots of the words. And she looks fascinated.]

The study of dead life? I suppose that would pair well with necromancy...

[perking up immediately, yes let me talk about my passion career]

Oh it pairs so well! There's a lot of fields you can really group what I do under, like I do work with fossils and subfossils so classic paleontology isn't wrong, but I like "necrozoologist" best— I study extinct species by animating their skeletons!

Now there's an idea. I wonder if I could bully my brother into doing it...

Is he a necromancer? I do have to advise that he be really careful if he's not experienced with ancient dead. The age of the skeleton really does make a difference to the summoning.

He'll be alright. We probably both count as ancient dead, really...

[...wait, what.]

[holds up a finger like wait, wait let her figure what part of that to process]

How many years is ancient for you?

Well, we're only really about 100-ish, so I guess it's not that old in the grand scheme of things?

But we died right after we were born, so...
