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!

[assent]

Of course. Um... I mean, that is to say I have been in a similar situation to that. I did not have friends my own age or status until perhaps... twenty days ago?

[redcarnation]

And you all just trust the content. Isn't that a little bit naive? ♥

Isuke wouldn't trust a drink she hasn't made herself in here. [ Might or might not be because drink poisoning is something she would personally do... ]

[counterfaith]

Oh my, that is difficult. Hmmmm. . .

[ taking a vanilla bottle and drinking it ]

Perhaps, pickled plums? I like chestnuts, too.

[lacrimose]

Yeah. I'm not dangerous to anyone here.

[And if he is... Well, he has Rin to count on, if it comes to that.]

If I tried to use my strength to escape, though, my powers stop working, same as anyone else.

[aria_ardeinae]

Rushing to complete it wouldn't make for the best work, anyway. [ Casually... sidles... Yusuke is too tall for him to look over his shoulder but he's making an attempt. ]

[aria_ardeinae]

Look at her physique, and then look at mine. There's no chance of victory without resorting to underhanded tactics.

[aria_ardeinae]

All right, then - just how many people here do you know? From before this all started, I mean.

...I suppose that's too easy a question. How many do you know, and which do you find the most attractive, that's more like a "Truth or Dare".

[cluelesscavewoman]

What is it like there? Where I am from there are many species living together, it is strange that so many here are not used to it.

[cluelesscavewoman]

[Can you feel the disappointment in her stare?]

You used the potion so it is the truth...

[lacrimose]

Think I could win? [He smiles, which just looks more like he's baring his fangs, but]

I'll come see you, when everything's settled in my world.

[afailedmurder]

It's been a few months for me.

[redcarnation]

Our hosts don't seem to think so, so Isuke's going to have to keep an eye out for repercussions. If they decide I'm a party pooper, it could get troublesome.

How annoying.

[assent]

You did not have any before that?

[ She actually looks surprised, too. ]

[cluelesscavewoman]

I do not know, they have spells to increase their speed. [She squints back, can he win? She just doesn't know. But then she jolts up.]

Judge! That means you have to do really well here. I want to get to the end and be able to visit a friend afterwards and show them Musashi.

[aria_ardeinae]

Just so. [ Kiyo's pretty easy to fluster. Not that Reyson's much better but look, he's on the offensive so he's not the one being surprised ] I'm not one for obvious public displays, but it's hardly the most risque action that's been taken in this room today.

[counterfaith]

. . . Was that a disappointing answer?

[aria_ardeinae]

[ Well, time to go be courtly at Kiyo, then. Reyson likes him well enough and there's a convenient barrier between skin and skin. He returns, dignity more or less intact. ] Are you satisfied?

[aria_ardeinae]

You're not too worn out, I hope - were you up fighting all night? [ Those wounds look fresh, after all. ] Oh, truth or dare, which is your preference?

[afailedmurder]

...No. I was alone for a long time.

[afailedmurder]

Then you should understand that the concept is irrelevant.

[assent]

[ Her hands clasp together on her lap, and she goes quiet for a long moment. ]

I understand that feeling. That is why... I almost wish I would not have to leave, even with circumstances like these.

[assent]

Ah, that is not what I meant... more that you were able to move quite freely despite it being new to you.

[ She already made the mistake of almost triggering Rin into a negative spiral a day or two ago, so here's hoping it doesn't happen here. ]

[afailedmurder]

You don't have to go home if you're not happy there.

[fightingoverdose]

Well, the lone wolf-thing ain't as fun as it seems after a while. You must have bunches of supporters too, bein' a princess and all, right?

[assent]

Of course I do. [ Her voice is firm, partly because Ruler's voice keeps echoing in her head now any time any of this comes up. ] I have a duty to my country and my people.
