Six-Word Sparks III: People

Six-word sparks (as I've said before) embody the heart of an adventure idea without laying out too many details.  Each spark could generate countless adventures, though the base concept is the same.

My preferred six-word spark (currently) focuses on people and/or their relationships.  This way, the adventure can take place in and among other campaign events.
