There was a farm that had a dog

[Throughout the day on Monday, everyone still left in the building will find a handwritten invitation delivered to them at some point or another, along with a bonus sheet of paper.

WHO: You!
WHAT: Fun and games!
WHERE: The roof
WHEN: 6 o'clock

Hey, everyone. It's been quiet around here lately, so let's keep our spirits up and have some fun! The sun might not be shining, but we still have a great view of the stars, and somewhere warm to watch them from. Food and drink will be provided, so just bring yourself (and your bingo sheet!), and we'll enjoy each other's company.

- Rin Tohsaka

There aren't any decorations upstairs, but there will be food and drink as promised, and lots of variety. Curry, soup and sandwiches, parfaits, homemade potato chips, a cheese plate; Rin went all out. For sweets, there's chocolate chip cookies and a lemon meringue pie, with milk or juice (that looks like it was made from scratch) to wash it down with. Alcohol too, if that's your thing. There's even a bloody mary for Elda, somehow.

As you might guess from the invitation, the bonus piece of paper delivered with the invites is a blank bingo sheet! Whether it's when the invites are delivered or when they come to the party, Rin will give everyone instructions on how to fill it out, and how the game is played.

HUMAN GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER BINGO
  1. Fill out the sheet with 24 simple facts about yourself! They should be anything you're comfortable sharing with others, and most importantly they must be true
  2. Share sheets with one another! If you have something in common with what's on another person's sheet, you can sign off on that square.
  3. Players may sign up to two squares on one another's sheets, but only two! Normally you'd only collect a single signature, but this is a small group.
  4. When one row has five signatures horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, that's a BINGO!
  5. Whoever has the most BINGOs at the end of the night wins!

That should about cover it. But yeah, it's a game designed for the group to maybe get to know each other a little better. Discussion is encouraged, not just for what you have in common, but what you don't! What's most important is everyone have fun.]

...I fail to see what is backwards about it, but alright.

[It does mean that magic is in abundance, though.]

Admittedly, it does make magic dangerous. It requires a lot of training to use properly, but since most people can manage it if they put their mind to it, there are...well, a lot of accidents.

Exactly. The world decided it was easier to just give out licenses and jail anyone who practiced magic without a license rather than try to sort out the laws regarding accidentally burning down buildings because you couldn't control your magic.

Oh of course, it requires a four-year degree with a certificate of completion from the university. That is, truthfully, where I have been unable to proceed: I have more than enough knowledge and practice and could pass any test easily, but no university would dare speak for me.

To put it bluntly, Warassa does not trust foreigners much. One look at the name 'Valentino' would be enough for them to stamp any application with a rejection, if they stopped laughing long enough to even stamp it at all.

Can you at least use your magic to make them punch themselves in the face? Because let me tell you, that is particularly satisfying, especially when they lord their supposed 'magical superiority' over you.

[Encouraging delinquency in minors~]

It isn't too difficult to do, truthfully. It just requires a bit of minute control over your magic. You have to slip past a person's natural magical defenses and use your own magic to force their arm muscles to move, bringing their fist up to their face. 'Water control' is the easiest way, since humans are mostly water anyway. Iron is another good element to focus on, since there is plenty of iron in a person's blood.

Of course, this is a lot easier to do if you catch them by surprise, because they won't have thought to put up any defenses to protect themselves from a magical attack like that. If they know what is coming, you will have to override their willpower with yours, which may not be an easy task.

[It basically is bloodbending, and has been used for some rather unethical purposes in Luca's canon, so. Yeah. It's Very Dangerous and Luca probably shouldn't be admitting to knowing how to do it.]

Then you can punch to your heart's content. I am trusting you not to use this power for evil though, understand? Being able to control someone else's movements is a very strong power, and is usually treated with disdain. Making someone punch themselves would probably get a laugh or two, but don't take it father than that.
