[As a rule, Jude doesn't like parties. As a rule, she tries to avoid participating as much as possible, and in fact, the plan for tonight was to find a nice comfy chair in the corner and people-watch for a couple hours before finding somewhere else to study.
But it's not the kind of party she's used to, and she stays longer than she intends. And then someone hands her a drink, and she takes a sip, and...
And, well, somehow she ends up at a table in a side-room, running a shell game with party hats and some very, very alcoholic gummy bears. Perhaps more alcoholic than should scientifically be possible, but only nerds care about stuff like that.
The game stakes are thus: if you guess wrong, you eat the gummy bear. If you guess right, Jude does. So far, she's only had to eat one, because a) she has very quick hands and b) everyone else is far tipsier than she is.
She looks up.]
Well?
[Apparently you stepped up to be her next victim. Hopefully you've kept track of the hats' movements.]
