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!

For such a greedy person you seem to enjoy limiting yourself.

[counterfaith]

You're speaking of lust, of which I have none.

[plsbully]

You've not allowed yourself to have any. Beyond your lust for the Grail.

[counterfaith]

In effect, it remains to be the same. I have killed it off, for it is unnecessary to me.

[plsbully]

[ he scoffs ]

I believe many celibate would say the same thing.

[counterfaith]

Incidentally, are you aware that celibate people do not have sexual or romantic relations?

[plsbully]

I doubt many really hold true to that.

[counterfaith]

The human heart is weak, after all.

[plsbully]

And yours is not?

[counterfaith]

The weakness of my heart is elsewhere.

[discerp]

S-sure, I'd love to! I mean, um, I-I'm not sure how good of a teacher I'd be, but um... I'd definitely like to try!

[assent]

It is quite simple. First, you move your right arm in front of yourself and stretch it out palm down.

[ it is time ]

[flamingprick]

Yeah, she really is.

[He. Might be looks a little fond as he says that.]

Both inside and out too. She's a good person in her heart.

[plsbully]

And where does it lay? Your weakness.

[counterfaith]

. . . I'm sure you, who loves to poke into the weaknesses of the human heart and tear them open, are already aware of where it lays.

[plsbully]

[ ha! ]

But it is satisfying to hear others admit to them all the same.

[counterfaith]

Haha. But, even were I to admit it, you were already so aware of it, to the point that I was even a representative of that weakness for you in that tower of yours. I am wholly and unabashedly selfish—unbearably so.

[justpure]

Who said that fact was meaningless?

[But if they can be revived by chance...]

[This is hurting his brain.]

[appleofhiseye]

[that fond look does not go unnoticed; she's seen it just enough times to recognize it]

You both have that in common.

It's certainly none of my business, but...I hope that you're able to spend plenty of time with her here. And with Allen too, of course. There's no harm in making a lasting connection with the people that you've come to care about.

[appleofhiseye]

Alright...

[she does as instructed and follows the steps Sonia gives her, clearly perplexed by this entire dance but not wanting to give up!!!1 Also it's less embarrassing to do in slow motion so it takes a while for it to sink in that this Isn't A Dance She's Used To]

[assent]

[ Each step is thankfully fairly short, nor are there more than 12 steps to it. Longer than a ballroom dance, sorta, but nothing too bad. She keeps guiding her through, eventually jumping to twist to the right to finish the routine. ]

After that, you keep repeating it.

[truthstranger]

You basically said it wasn't important whether you regretted it or not because they could be revived.

[justpure]

. . .

[He just falls silent. Occasionally, he glances about...

Then he closes his eyes.]

[plsbully]

Hahahaha! Yes, that is certainly a weakness of yours, but I would say a weakness can also be a strength. Your selfishness -- is it not a double-edged sword? You are certainly selfish but that selfishness drives you.

[counterfaith]

Well, but a weakness is still a weakness. Even if it is also a strength.
