Hm... assuming everyone would prefer to go hear the truth instead of facing challenges, we'll need to decide as a group who should go. (The composition of the other two teams probably doesn't matter except in who's going with who- not who's going where, since we don't have enough information about the Bridge of Sighs or Shrine of Lies to make decisions about it.)
The first thing we should do is vote- specifically, we should vote on what type of person we want to send to hear the truth. Do we want
a) The person most likely to come back and tell us all the truth
or
b) The person most likely to keep the truth to themselves?
Because, let's be real- we might all be victims of the same game, but I don't think everyone here trusts each other. Cancel's saying this secret could be pretty damn dangerous- do we want the potentially nefarious members of our group to all hear the secret, and then potentially turn on the rest of us? The truth might "change your perspective on the people around you", and I think that maybe we don't want to harm the fragile equilibrium where our perspectives are all "we hesitantly trust each other, given no concrete reason not to". Maybe we want to keep this big secret buried, at least until we have more context so we don't have people acting out based on incomplete information.
If we want to share the secret, I recommend sending Abigail- she's a little girl, so I'm thinking she's the least likely of us to have a nefarious secret agenda that'd motivate her to manipulate or lie to us. I'd kind of support her going in either case- she seems level-headed enough to trust with the decision whether or not to share. (Also, she's the least dangerous if she does happen to go crazy from the revelation.)
If we don't want to share the secret with the group, and we want someone to go who'll keep quiet about it and probably not freak out on us in the meantime, we should send Camilla- she's clearly the best of us at keeping her mouth shut, and seems the least likely to start behaving erratically based on distressing information. And again, she seems level-headed enough to trust with the decision.
For the other two groups... Daniel and Abigail potentially need to be protected if they go; Camilla, Kate, and Connor are potentially good protectors, Joe is kinda freaking out right now and might need protecting from, and Thalia and Camilla are probably best-equipped to defuse conflicts- although Thalia and Connor are also kind of wildcards.
Let's say... if Abigail goes truth, we want one team to be Joe+Camilla+Daniel, and the other being... Connor+Thalia+Kate. (I'm thinking both Connor and Thalia, even if they end up having problems, are the sort who'll listen to Kate trying to be the voice of reason, even if she's yelling. Camilla, meanwhile, is best-equipped to protect Daniel from Joe.)
If Camilla goes truth, we should put Abigail with Daniel and Kate (a pretty low-drama team, I'm hoping) and Thalia and Connor should be able to handle Joe.
Either way, just from the names, I'm thinking we should probably send Joe's team to the Bridge of Sighs- the guy's really worked up right now, and it'd probably be better to send him to a place that's a real bummer, rather than to a Shrine of Lies that sounds like it'll actively fuck with him.
