I'm looking for inspiration. I'm not too well-acquainted with how people might enjoy themselves at 'celebrations' except beyond telling stories and dancing.
[ Over an open fire. They are from ancient times. ]
Telling stories is a classic - I know some of the kids back home really love telling ghost stories, trying to scare each other.
[She may or may not feature in some of those stories because her reputation proceeds her, but she's not mad about it.]
Though not sure that'll fly with this crowd. There's always other options, even if some might be a bit... juvenile.
[But Mio and Noah are here - and while she hasn't had the chance to speak to either of them yet, she's long since memorized everyone's profiles. They're babies, so maybe some of the more childish party games would be fine.]
They're a bit childish? The sort of silly things that kids would get excited or embarrassed over that wouldn't bother anyone more secure in themselves.
If I said "spin the bottle", what do you think of?
[Since he wants to be juvenile, that's one of the most absurd things she can think of. Most of the kids in the Wrench don't even play... Every time there's been attempts something's exploded.
But also, she has no idea what Noah knows or not. It's not like she knows if "never exactly children" is literal or metaphorical!!]
It's what it sounds like. You get everyone together, then challenge someone to pick "truth" or "dare". Pick "truth" and the challengee can ask you whatever they want and you gotta answer truthfully. Pick dare and you get dared to do some task or another.
[Is that a good enough explanation... It better be.]

[ They mean it. Enkidu does like surprising things; interesting curveballs in tales that can catch their interest well enough. ]
Though at the other comment, they tilt their head. ]
What do you mean by 'juvenile'? Can you explain?
[ They look very interested in what she has to say. ]

[So, you know. Perfect for everyone here.]

[He learned what a kiss was like, a week ago. Go easy on him ma'am...]
no subject
[Oh Buddy.]
You spin a bottle, sure, but then you have to kiss the person it's pointing at.
1/???
done
[That runs so contrary to what little he knows about kissing!!]
Can you do that? Kiss random people? No, it's more like— why would you do that?
no subject
[Why Not???]
Well, kissing is enjoyable, isn't it? Also it's fun to tease.
no subject
[Teasing!! How cruel!]
Well, you have a point. The others would have to agree to your game, of course.
[Surely he is not the only one with vague reservations?]

So, what do you mean by that? As in, can you describe to us what silly things these would be?

[Some of the children Azure knows may or may not be chuuni. She doesn't know the word but that's what she means by roleplay.]
To name a few.
[Will she have to explain them...]
no subject
[ Enkidu picks that one out first! It sounds potentially really interesting.
...She will definitely have to explain it to them. ]

That sounds like fun. Let's play it.

Did you actually play 'em? Because I don't have much firsthand experience.
