Two rulers want your loyalty. Your team must choose wisely
This Market Street story places you between the Red King and the Blue Queen, with the influence to shape what follows. Bring a group that enjoys discussing competing ideas and looking beyond a first impression. Your shared decision matters, so make sure every voice has the chance to change the conversation before you commit.
Your country has stayed neutral while two powerful nations move against each other. That position has made you valuable. The Red King wants your support; so does the Blue Queen. Each side has a reason to speak, but a reason is not the same thing as the whole truth. Messages and reports reach you against a background of rivalry, urgency and possible betrayal. You need to decide what deserves your confidence. A strong team will not simply agree with whoever speaks first or loudest. It will listen, question and bring the separate pieces of the situation together. This is your chance to take part in a story where judgement matters as much as conviction. Consider the claims carefully, understand the choice before you and make a decision your group can stand behind when the consequences begin to unfold.
Choose whether your team will support the Red King or the Blue Queen, then help your chosen side in the war. Consider the information presented, agree where your allegiance lies and work together on the challenges ahead. Your mission is to make a choice and act on it before time runs out.
