It's cold and snowy outside the schoolhouse, and you wonder what prompted you to travel into the mountains in the winter. Of course, the weather had been fine earlier in the day, and it's not as if the Empire has weather satellite technology. Or television, much less TV news and weather.
Someone offers you a warm drink, and you trade a basic token for it, enjoying the spicy smell even before you taste it.
Rai Kunabei looks up as you walk over. She has her own mug of the drink, which, when you taste it, is similar to spiced apple cider. There's people waiting, so she draws a disk out of the bag. It is gold, with an image of a man and woman holding hands. "Ah--this is marriage. It could be a romantic connection, but the primary meaning is that there's a connection that's intentional, that was created by the people involved.

She reaches to touch you briefly, on the arm. "Implementing it could be something as simple as a touch or as complex as a licensing application, but don't forget the point of the exercise."
