Trash Squad Day 5 - TRUTH OR DARE

[chinhotta]

Mornin' sweethearts! Come on down to the cafeteria!

[ Today the cafeteria looks different again, most of the tables cleared out and the space full of pillows, blankets, and love sacs of various sizes. Around the time everyone gets there, Vanilla pops up in the front of the room.. ]

Do you know what one of the most important things in a relationship is? Honesty! Do you know what some others are? Trust! Self-confidence! Communication! A sense of adventure! Sexual compatibility!

...What was I talking about? Oh, right! Today's event is truth or dare! You know how it works! Find someone and ask them if they want a truth or a dare! If they pick truth, ask them any question and they have to tell the truth. If they pick dare, tell them do do anything and they have to do it. Then it's their turn. Try to ask around!

And... I've got something special for you!

[ Vanilla pulls a sheet off a table to reveal a bunch of tiny plastic bottles, each about the size to hold one sip of liquid. ]

The blue ones are Vanilla's Famous Vanilla-Flavored One-Shot Truth Serum! One truthful statement guaranteed! The red ones are Sarsaparilla's Tequillas! Pure liquid courage - give yourself the extra kick you need to get out of your comfort zone!

...You don't have to drink these if you trust each other and are confident in yourself, but in the spirit of honesty in our relationship, I'm willing to make a trade. If all these shots are drunk by nighttime, I'll give you proof the people eliminated and disqualified are safe!

[ The truth serum, as you would expect, makes you tell the truth. The "tequillas" aren't actually alcoholic, but they do make you feel much braver. Both generally only last the length of one answer/dare, but some of them might last a little longer... chinchillas don't practice good quality control. ]

—Oh, by the way! Your scores are displayed in your tablets now! They don't include your second dates yet, but we'll keep them updated!

More than expected. I regret not testing it in front of Saihara first.

[frowns. that is still, in fact, slightly more truthful fully intended]

I'll understand if you don't want to spend time with me later. I thought it would be fun to play some games as though we were normal people...

[assent]

Then let us cheer one another on. [ Even if she has not said a thing about who she is talking about ah ]

[assent]

Saihara-san? [ FUN FACT she knows Saihara has a boyfriend, she doesn’t know it is him. ]

Though I do not understand why you are being so adamant about this being problematic. It is fine. Truly. We can reconvene at 8pm as promised.

[lacrimose]

[There is room for two in these massive hairy arms, Reyson!! Akira sets her down and folds his wings, shaking his head.]

It happened recently. A demon possessed me, but my heart was stronger than his, so the only thing that changed was my body.

[afailedmurder]

My boyfriend.

...Perhaps I should have mentioned that?

[justpure]

[Oops, he spooked her.]

I did not say it was certian you might summon her. Most scientific explainations attribute her appearance in the mirror to a hallucination brought on by staring into a mirror in a dimly lit room, somewhat like the sort of warped vision you get from staring at a waterfall for too long.

[Not that he's gonna knock the ghost theory entirely.]

[cluelesscavewoman]

One of my other friends asked me if she was such a terrible friend that I had to make others. So I promised her that I would not make anymore.

[purrtagonist]

Shuichi.

[yeah he is opting for the easiest explanation, here]

It's only for ten minutes.

[and while he isn't embarrassed, her startlement does get him to add--]

S-- sorry, I can come back when time is up?

[assent]

Ah! He mentioned having one, but I did not know it was you. Congratulations...?

[ Is hat what you say for things like this? ]

[afailedmurder]

That's because you display so little free will that it doesn't seem worth feigning politeness.

[purrtagonist]

So if you can't come back with us. . .

Then, at the very least, come visit us.

[take a vacation from your loneliness, Tatsuya!]

[purrtagonist]

[I AM SO SORRY, MIKAN]

[kind of turns away a bit himself, rocking back on his heel and allowing his gaze to wander towards the ceiling too, this isn't awkward at all!!]

So if I give you a dare, you'll definitely do it, right?

[he is scheming]

[discerp]

[She-- hesitates, just a moment, concerned, before she nods.]

Y-yes! I'll do it!

[purrtagonist]

It isn't just loyalty.

[although that is part of it. loyalty to the people who gave him a place to belong. but even more than that, it is also. . .]

I love you, as a person, separate from the things that first brought us together. Your passion, your intensity, the way you never do things halfway. The way you follow your heart and the unique beat it thrums to, and are always trying to improve yourself and grow into a better person.

[. . . Yusuke might feel the light pressure of Akira slinging an arm around the backs of his shoulders, in the same moment that Akira closes the distance between them for a hug. a very loose one, though. just in case Yusuke decides he needs space]

. . . even discounting that I'm your leader, and you my teammate. . . and just thinking of you as my good friend and family, I don't want to lose you.

[purrtagonist]

[meeting Akechi's gaze evenly, eventually letting go of his wrist]

Why do you assume we see you as nothing more than a charity case?

[purrtagonist]

Then I dare you to refuse any dares that make you unhappy or uncomfortable.

[scheming, I say]

[purrtagonist]

[he is so bad at truths, BUT. . .]

If you win this game, what would you use your prize money on?

[afailedmurder]

Thank you?

[is that a good answer from a girl you are trying to date?]

We met here before, when this was a killing game. He's... helped me through some difficult things.

[afailedmurder]

Truth.

[purrtagonist]

[he is super digging this show, KEEP AT IT SARA, IT IS PRIME ENTERTAINMENT]

[purrtagonist]

[HAHAHAHA]

What? Don't trust me to be truthful on my own?

[purrtagonist]

[well of course they make him look like he got hurt real bad, that is generally how one gets scars]

I'm going to tell people I fought a bear.

[purrtagonist]

[oh. well]

A little hungover this morning?

[purrtagonist]

[impressed whistle]

It sounds like you're having a good time. I'm glad.

[purrtagonist]

[WELL, OKAY]

That answer doesn't surprise me.
