CHARLIE: (excited) That's what I'm talking about.
KEVIN: Let's get it.
CHARLIE: Okay, I see some people dancing, beer pong, or we can just chill on the steps for a bit. What do you wanna do?
COACH: This scenario lets you practice interacting in a group environment with alcohol. Right now, large gatherings are dangerous due to their ability to spread COVID 19. These strategies are transferable and can be used in smaller environments as well. Please follow your school's protocols about meeting up with other people.
EMMA: (Emma, Kevin, and Charlie hang out on the steps together.)
KEVIN: Two truths and one lie, huh. So I tell you three things, and you're trying to pick the lie?
CHARLIE: Yuppppp. And maybe we can say if I guess right, you have to drink? Eh?
KEVIN: Not everything's a drinking game, Charlie.
EMMA: I'm down, but I'm not gonna drink.
CHARLIE: Alright, I got you. Kevin's going first.
COACH: You told Charlie you didn't want to play with alcohol. Many people play party games without drinking.
KEVIN: Well, I'm not gonna drink anything, but uhh, I took dance class when I was a kid. I'm really into anime and I worked for a year on an alpaca farm.
CHARLIE: Easy peasy. I've seen you dance so no doubt you took classes, no disrespect but anyone who wears an octopus on their shirt is definitely into anime, and I don't think you could wake up early enough to be a farmer boy.
KEVIN: Mmmmm, I'm actually kinda iffy on anime, I'm glad you like it tho Ems. And I have no problem getting up early for animals.
CHARLIE: Aww, I see that. (fake sighs) Guess I have to driiink.
EMMA: Do you tho?
CHARLIE: (burps) Your turn, bud.
EMMA: Suuure.
EMMA: When I was four, I threw a rock at a kid on the playground and chipped their tooth.
KEVIN: What did the kid do to you?!
EMMA: Said I smelled weird.
CHARLIE: Did you smell weird?
EMMA: Yeah.
EMMA: Growing up, I had an imaginary friend named "Alex." And one time, she told me to shove a bean up my nose. So I did.
CHARLIE: Eww.
EMMA: Yeah my mom had to get it out with tweezers. I shoved it really far up there.
KEVIN: That's pretty metal.
EMMA: I ate a piece of pizza off the street once.
KEVIN: Like, you found pizza in a box on the street?
EMMA: Nah, like I dropped it and it fell. Cheese. Side. Down.
CHARLIE: Ugh.
CHARLIE: Alright, alright, we heard a lot of stories about (sarcastic) "Edgy Emmers."
CHARLIE: So rock chucking, pretty hard to believe.
KEVIN: Yeah. Especially for someone saying you smell weird? Feels a bit much.
CHARLIE: BUT! I could see four year old Emma being a lil monster. I'm gonna gooo, true.
CHARLIE: You say you had an imaginary friend and a bean in your nose.
KEVIN: That one was cute.
CHARLIE: Yeah, maybe tooo cute to be true? But, I'm gonna guesss true anyway.
CHARLIE: Which brings us to this allleged pizza story.
KEVIN: Gross pizza story.
CHARLIE: I mean, Emma would think about it. She ooobviously hates food waste. But, I think she wouldn't go quite that far. So am I right?
EMMA: Yeah, all three. Well done Charlie.
CHARLIE: CHARLIE. IS. UNSTOPPPABLE!!!! Now I knooow you said you didn't want to drink anything, but c'mon.
EMMA: You got me, okay? That's enough.
CHARLIE: (playful) I don't think so.
EMMA: Like Kevin said, this isn't even a drinking game.
CHARLIE: I don't see why it can't be.
COACH: You told Charlie you didn't want to drink even though he guessed your two truths and a lie correctly. You set your own limits.
CHARLIE: I mean you weren't even really pre gaming. We're here now, let's have some fun.
EMMA: Earlier tonight I told you my limit.
CHARLIE: Fair enough, my bad.
EMMA: It's allllll good. Just lemme do my own thing.
CHARLIE: Deal.
COACH: You reminded Charlie of your limits and he stopped asking you to drink more.
CHARLIE: Alllright, enough quiet time for Charlie. What're we doing?
EMMA: (Goes over to where people are dancing with Charlie and Kevin. They dance for a bit. Emma and Charlie step to the side.)
CHARLIE: Duderrr, is it just me or is Kevin kind of tearing it up out there? (laughs) We gotta step it up!
CHARLIE: Okay. Well, I know you're not looking to go tooo hard tonight, so no worrries if you're doing your own thing. But I'ma make myself a litttle something I like to call Goose Juice.
EMMA: What.
CHARLIE: It's vodka and orange juice, but more goosey.
EMMA: I'm good, thanks.
CHARLIE: Um, okay more for Charlie then! See ya in a sec.
COACH: You've continued to stick to your limits, and Charlie is starting to get a clear understanding about your expectations for the night.
CHARLIE: Alright, that's enooough dancing. What next?
EMMA: (Emma and Charlie stand on one side of the beer pong table. Kevin isn't around.)
CHARLIE: It's on like beer pong.
EMMA: I see what you did there.
CHARLIE: Wanna set up?
EMMA: Yeah, but I'm definitely not gonna drink out of the cups that the ball has gone in after being on the ground. And I don't wanna drink like six beers.
CHARLIE: I feel that. Maybe we can still drink beer on the side when we're supposed to or you might want to just not drink at all. Whatever's clever.
EMMA: Yeah, I think I'd rather play with water.
CHARLIE: All good. But now we got nooo excuses, alright? We gotta win.
EMMA: Pfft. Don't need excuses if you can't be beat, my friend.
COACH: You've continued to stick to your limits, and Charlie is starting to get a clear understanding about your expectations for the night.
CHARLIE: Oookay, good game, good game. Uh, next time I think we can maaaaybe step it up a little more. But for now, what're we doin?
EMMA: I think I'm good to head out pretty soon.
CHARLIE: Aww, really?
EMMA: Yeah, lemme just say bye to some people. You coming?
CHARLIE: Mayyyybee. I'm gonnna see if there's aanything else goin on, then I'll find ya if I'm down to leave.
EMMA: Alright, I'll check in with you again before I head out.
COACH: It's a smart move to check in with your friends before leaving the party. The buddy system can help make sure they are okay and make it home safe and sound.
