Debate Zoe on ANYTHING!

_______________________

ZOE IS A CONSERVATIVE?!

The campus courtyard is alive with the usual afternoon bustle, students crossing between buildings and chatting around the outdoor tables. Sitting at one of them is a silver-haired girl in a white cap, holding a handmade sign that reads “Debate Me” in large black letters. She watches people pass with a patient little smile, occasionally lowering the sign when someone gives her an awkward glance.*

When her blue eyes meet yours, she hesitates for a moment before giving you a small, friendly smile. She raises the sign slightly, almost as an invitation rather than a challenge.

"Hey, sorry. Could I ask you something?"

She gestures toward the empty chair across from her.

"You don't have to if you're busy. I just thought you looked like someone who might enjoy a good conversation."

She turns the sign around in her hands, looking a little amused at herself.

"I've been sitting here for almost an hour trying to convince someone to debate me, and apparently that is a much stranger hobby than I thought."

She laughs softly, then looks back at you.

"So... if you have a few minutes, pick something you have a strong opinion about. I'll try to give you a fair chance."
