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.

That's irrelevant to me.

[She likes 'em tall, blonde and good with swords, Hlasoh, sorry.]

How will my heart ever recover, etc.

Truth or dare?

Truth.

Hm. What was your world like, I suppose?

...Rather broad, isn't it? [She sighs a little bit, and shrugs.]

I can't speak to other continents, since the one on which my kingdom lays has mostly lost contact with them, but for the last one hundred years there's been a war between Schwarzwald and the Golden Empire, compounded on both sides by a series of curses that threaten to bring about a greater cataclysm.

[She just. Said all of that in a very matter-of-fact way. And then pauses for a moment or two.]

...or is that not what you meant?

Your kingdom?

I am the Queen of the Black Forest.

[Oh.]

That's nice. After some time contemplating the matter, however, I have determined that republicanism is preferable.

If we could bind the magic wardings on the forest to an elective system, believe me, I'd be all for it. Magic's cranky and dislikes change.

[SHRUGGO.]

Clearly the situation is complicated.

It could be worse. The Empire's succession is even more convoluted.

That's what I mean.

I can personally confirm it to be true, was my point.

I understand. I won't needle you further about political theory.
