Scenario #1

"<very angry>You've done it again. I can't believe it! After your promise last time never to do that, how could you!?!"

What is he/she talking about? What have I done to make them mad? "How could you!?! I can't forgive you this time, unless ... you ... explain ... yourself ... right ... now. If you don't, you'll be spending the rest of the event without me, and you'll be looking for a new place to live when you get home!"

I still have no idea what he/she could possibly be talking about. I'd better apologize, though, and I'd better make it good ....

Scenario #2

Because of your adept apology, your consort has forgiven you for your earlier transgression. They are now more than a little willing to make up, and are obviously feeling amorous. You have been told to "be back to the pavilion by 10 o'clock tonight, there will be a surprise for you. " You promise to come back of course, and state that you're looking forward to it with eager anticipation.

It's now after 1 am. You've completely lost track of the time. (Even the party at the Pirates' camp is winding down.) You return to the pavilion quietly, hoping that your consort is now asleep. To your dismay, you find that there's a candle lit and that your consort sits at the table ... drumming ... their ... fingers. You expect a tirade, but instead you are met with a stony gaze and cold silence. Explain yourself.

Scenario #3

Flattery - Choose a person (one of the judges, or a member of the audience) and display your prowess with words by flattering them in the style you'd expect from a silver tongued devil.
