It is a beautiful crisp morning as she gently steps through the tall green grasses that spread evenly across the hills rolling landscape. The sky is clear, and there is only the softest of breezes traveling through her homeland making it just tolerable enough to be out and about. Though the days activities she was sure would have no trouble making it's participants work up a sweat if they were to stay moving and enjoying their day. A small buzz of excitement travels through her as she makes her way towards the small group that had gathered in the distance. It makes her skin twitch slightly and her muscles tremble. For her entire life she had just wanted for everyone she came across to get along and it thrilled her to know that she could use her position to do just that. It almost made all this hard work that seemed to lead (for now) to little substance. Though she knew that one day it would be worth it. She just had to wait patiently and continue to work hard while celebrating the small victories that came her way in the meantime.
Before she knew it, she was closing in on the group, smiling at the turn out and for a moment she watches them all before clearing her throat and drawing attention to herself. When they are all focused on her she smiles softly in greeting before speaking up. "Hello everyone and welcome to the hills," for a moment she pauses, glancing at each of their faces before continuing. "Today is our first round in what I hope to be a repeating event. As you all know, I advertised this as a day full of fun. One where there is no animosity or hate. Just a day of good ole neutral fun. Through these games you are not expected to, but have the ability to make friends with one another, even allies for the future if you would like." She smiles a bit wider then.
"This means you can work in teams to find the objects of which you will be searching for if you so choose. Or, you can work on your own, solo. There will be no deductions depending on whichever path you take; That being said. Our game today is a colored pebble hunt. The lake that sits in the center of my home has crystal clear waters with colored pebbles that make the surface sparkle like a rainbow colored gem. I have taken multiples of these different pebbles and placed them in areas throughout the Hills and around the lake." She pauses then, giving them a chance to process.
"You will each have an assigned list of colors and the amount of those colors to find. You will all have a different list, a different number for each color, but a equal amount of pebbles over all that you must return to the side of the lake by the last day of the game. Again, remember, you can work in teams. You may also search overnight and during the day. Just remember to not drive yourself too hard. Take your breaks and rest when it is needed." For a moment she pauses once more before listing out to each participant their required finds before taking a deep breath and counting down. "You may go in 3... 2... 1..." Stepping back she moves out of their way, allowing them room to make their way into her homeland and to start the game.
