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!

[Well she's approaching, but ... she's going to yell LOUDLY in her direction before she can say any of that.]

Y-YOU are SO cute!! That pink blouse looks GREAT on you!!

[Sorry if you are startled even more, Mikan]

[pecker]

[Soon...]

Well, how was that? You could hear it, right?

[flamingprick]

[Rin sits down, and he thinks over it a bit before he starts. It's been over a month for him since he heard these words, so he has to struggle to remember exactly what was said.]

Okay. It's a woman, but not too old of a woman. So like, mid-20s or so. She's got a face like mine and eyes like mine, but it's...kinder? Like, she's always smiling. That kind of thing. In fact, she looks like she doesn't have a mean bone in her body. Um...her hair should be long, and dark like mine is. Oh! And she has moles on her face too. Um...under her eye and on her chin, I think?

[Basically he is describing this woman here, though it's a secondhand description so it might not be 100% accurate. He also sounds a little anxious as he describes her too.]

[yusuke holds his sketchbook to his chest tightly, an anchor for him, even though his voice is trembling]

... I wanted to understand you, despite how frustrating you can be. I asked Saihara and Akira for insight, and I came to realize that we are more alike than I had thought. Even now, that thought perplexes and angers me. But I wanted to do better than before. I thought you deserved that much.

I decided that I neither liked nor disliked you, a few months ago. That was the best way to approach you moving forward. But it seems I am destined to hate you, if this is how cruel you can be--!

[pecker]

Ahaha, I see.

[She does not.]

Futayo-san, I'm realizing more that I don't know anything about the place you came from... are there really just witches and samurai everywhere? There has to be a backstory I'm missing here, right?

[truthstranger]

A-Ah, yes. You're getting along with Shinguji-kun, then?

[flamingprick]

So your name's 'Ruler', right? Are you the ruler of anything?

[truthstranger]

You mean... in general?

[counterfaith]

[ knocking back a vanilla drink, first ]

No, I am not. "Ruler" is rather meant to be more like "judge" - I am an arbitrator of the Holy Grail war.

[flamingprick]

Okay, so I have no idea what a 'holy grail war' is, but why would you be called 'ruler' instead of 'judge'?

[counterfaith]

That's just what the Grail decided the class would be called. It isn't something I chose to be called by.

[flamingprick]

Right, gotcha.

....wait, so that means 'Ruler' is a title, isn't it? What's your name then?

[counterfaith]

It is a title, yes - as is Avenger, if you've met him. You can call me Kotomine Shirou.

[flamingprick]

Yeah, We talked once I think.

[He perks up at that name, surprisingly.]

Shirou? What kanji for it?

[There is a reason he's asking okok]

[counterfaith]

............. Those are quite a few questions for a single truth, mm? You can ask that next time.

[truthstranger]

Maybe not. Anyway, I've certainly never watched anything like this one...

[flamingprick]

Fine, fine! Give me a truth then.

[He's not rushing to get a chance to ask Ruler that question, nope.]

[pecker]

[ > ART ROOM

Niwatori rummages around for some art supplies, eventually finding a sketchbook and some colored pencils.]

Here we go... [She pulls up some chairs together so Ruler can watch over her shoulder, and then grabs mostly purple pencils.]

I should probably start talking right away. Otherwise you won't be able to tell what I'm drawing... but for fun, you can take a guess.

[She's using the colors she grabbed to draw a circle, with some weird squigglier circles attached to the top and little clusters of sticks at the bottom that might be toes of some kind]

[pecker]

We really should be going to glamorous spots like the mountains if it was for mass entertainment. Don't you think?

[motorcycle_noises]

I'd like to ask you the same question— what prize would you go for?

[counterfaith]

Who, if anyone, do you have any romantic inclinations towards in this place?

[slice_of_life]

[she'll just laugh nervously to herself, while blushing...]

[flamingprick]

...

[He. Might be looking a little nervous.]

Define 'romantic inclinations'.

[counterfaith]

Romantic inclinations - in other words, you have a crush on someone, or you are currently or preparing to be in a relationship that is more than friends, or you are courting them, engaged to them, married to them, etcetera. Since it's Rin-san, I suppose it would actually more be "someone who you care for in a way that is not platonic, regardless of whether or not you would act upon that desire".

Is that a thorough enough definition for you, or would you like me to define "romantic" now as well?

[flamingprick]

No, no, that's enough.

[Well if crushes count then he's screwed.]

...Allen, then. And Sonia. And there's others I get along really well with and there might have been kissing at the bingo thing too. But Allen and Sonia are different.
