event #2

[ As evening falls in Jo's realm, you will find that you have to get into your cars once more -- or walk if you ruined yours -- and drive yourselves down to the park.

Bright lights are strung across the trees, and there's music and dancing from ghosts as they swirl around the park. There's a stage set up in the center with a single microphone. ]

[ Your objective here, other to have fun and dance and enjoy the scenery, is to get up on the stage and make a speech about something you've learned about the other team you're sharing with. Looks like you'd better get prosy and creative! And you have to make it at the mic, so everyone can hear you. ]

. . . I could show you? I've a few shards . . .

[it's out of her mouth before she can second-guess that]

Oh, if you're willing, I would love that!

I do not mind. I would not offer if I was not willing.

[mostly. But she's going to try]

Thank you. Once we leave this game, then?

I - sure?

I'll look forward to it.

[time to spend the rest of the game figuring out which memories are safe to show]

Mm . . .

[a pause]

Do you want to dance?

—beg pardon?

I asked if you wanted to dance! It looks like fun.

. . . I do not know how to dance.

I can show you! It's not very difficult as long as you don't use complicated steps.

But it all looks complicated.

You won't know until you try it, will you?

. . . I have tried it, that's why I say it is complicated . . .

Then it'll be easier if we do it together.

. . . [she heaves a sigh]

I will try for a bit, I suppose.

[reaching forward to take her hands]

I'm taller, so I can lead if you like.

If . . . you want?

[girl you're only like an inch taller get out]

[THE MOST IMPORTANT INCH

but here we go we're doing this dancing thing it's happening]

[congratulations you've found the most awkward dance partner ever]
