randangonpa | Trash Squad Day 5

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!

Ah, that'll be simple enough.

[ pulling his cloak off, and then putting his hands out; he takes a moment, before hopping onto his hands to stand ]

Ten seconds, right? Truth or dare?

My, are you both from the same world? Or is this something developed here?

[Oh he actually did it! Somehow this surprises Mikan. She'll take and hold his cloak if he needs her to...

It's her turn now, apparently, but despite the reassurances she's still a little nervous about picking 'dare'.] Um. Truth? [She winces a little.] Th-that's a little boring, right? I-I'm sorry...

Ah, sorry...

[still not a very sincere one. sorry not sorry.]

Ah... Yeah, I can see that. You ever think of switching it up, like Japan or Britain or somebody? Seems like it might be less work.

[ this is almost like a therapy session or something except there's no therapying happening here just me talking about how fine i am ]

He wished to show me the world, and the way of life that people all around the country had, in addition to strengthening my faith. Largely, our trips were around the southern part of the main island, though - we did visit Edo at least once, if I recall correctly.

Oh, er...

I don't think I know that many songs...

[nothing appropriate for priests, anyway.]

I know a few melodies, though?

Here, but during the previous version; the killing game. He didn't have anywhere to go, so I took him home with me.

A melody would be fine, I suppose? Is that too difficult?

[There's a panicked, automatic sort of response:] I-it's you! Definitely you! S-so, please don't be mad!

[Except then she sort of clamps a hand over her mouth and looks embarrassed. Sorry Akira.] Um, no, that's... [She lowers her hands, twisting her fingers together anxiously as she thinks. You wouldn't think this something that actually needs a lot of thought put into it, but apparently...]

I-I'm really not picky... Someone who can forgive my existence, s-someone who isn't mean to me... That's really all I want. Guy or girl, i-it doesn't really matter to me. [Sorry Akira. You asked, okay.]

My - even that is possible? I had thought they simply deposited you back to your world, after the killing game.

It's fine, the game is called truth or dare, after all. Do you have anyone you like here, Mikan-san?

We took control of the facility at the end... though to be honest, I suspect it was an intended part of the experiment. Nonetheless, we had the option to choose where we would be transported, and to what point in the timeline.

[ To be honest it actually sounds like fun more than a challenge, but okay. ]

Truth, please.

[ Even if she's wary of taking it. ]

The work does not bother me, so much as... the lack of freedom, I suppose? Though I was allowed to travel to Japan to study, I cannot really even complain about that now.

Like? Um. I-I like a lot of people! [It's a definite 'safe' answer and she squirms a little, embarrassed]

...Th-the people from home that are here, I like them, of course... E-especially... Um. [Jesus. You'd think it was pulling teeth here.] ...H-Hinata-san... But, I like others as well! Akira-san and Allen-san have been very nice... A-and you have been too, of course!

That's probably true.

Last time, I decided to go home. I don't regret it so much anymore, but it's still a little hard not to think how much easier things would be if I'd started over with a clean slate.
