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.

I was dared to introduce myself to three people, and, well, as we are teammates, and I have yet to meet you, I felt it was a perfect opportunity.

[He'll return that smile and offer a bit of a bow, more an extended head nod.]

My name is Lucien. I am afraid I can't give you more than that, at the moment, though they tell me that is fixable eventually.

Sounds good to me. The name's Crow! I don't really have anything else to give you, either. But it's nice to meet you anyway.

You too? I don't think our team has a single memory to share between the lot of us, from what I hear. It makes me wonder if we were all grouped together for that reason, in fact.

It seems pretty unbalanced to me if that's the case.

I can see a logic to it, if they believe that it will help us if we all have to try to remember...

[He's starting to pace now that he is really considering it.]

Then again, we are more likely to work together if we have no memories to color our biases.

It also means that none of us know what we're capable of, which can be dangerous if there's ever a fight or need to call on any skills. We're at a disadvantage as far as that goes.

You raise a good point. It could be quite limiting... or it could be very volatile, if we are pressed into a corner. Let us hope that some of these memories come back sooner rather than later, then.

That's what I'm working on!

It seems so odd we'd get back memories for nothing more than playing along but... here I am, pretending any of this makes sense. Any luck so far?

Nah, but I just showed up like yesterday so it's still a work in progress.

Ah, right, we did both arrive at the same time.

[He shakes his head.]

How bizarre, then. That seems to be at least three of us, which would mean the majority of us arrived then, too.

Yeah, I'm trying to figure out how that worked out.... it's pretty interesting, though.

Well...

[He sighs.]

I suppose there is nothing to be gained by worrying about it. I just wish there was some manual for all of this.

No kidding.... this whole situation's pretty annoying and there aren't enough answers to really satisfy.

One of the others, a young blonde woman with an exceptionally cheerful attitude, was willing to explain some of it to me, but it is so surreal I have a hard time grasping it.

Eliza, right? She gave me the rundown too. There was definitely a lot to take in at once.

Yes, I believe that was her name. Quite a bright spot in this situation.

Hmmm... It would be rather lopsided, but, do you wish to participate in this game?

Sure thing! It's a fun way to pass the time, anyway.

Fantastic! Who will begin, then?

I'll ask first. Truth or dare?
