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!

....That's a beautiful answer. I like that. I'll take truth this time as well.

[plsbully]

[ he seems to debate how to answer this, before speaking. ]

When I was young ... I was a sailor at the prime of my life. I was deeply in love with a woman I was about to wed.

But others were jealous of my success, of our love -- they sought to destroy me. They framed me as a traitor of a government that went out of power shortly after this betrayal. I was imprisoned for fourteen years in a prison that was a hell in and of itself -- because of their greed, their jealousy, their wicked natures.

I became a man hellbent on revenge, no matter the costs, and no matter what obstacles arose.

[plsbully]

That is besides the issue, is it not.

[dismemberthename]

All right, ummm.

I dare you to wear your hair in a new and interesting way for the rest of the day.

[starinhereye]

[there is a smile, a very knowing smile coming sudoh's way then closing his eyes]

Good, I'm glad you're making some nice memories.

[truthstranger]

Ah... I'm sorry.

U-Um! Not that you were talking about me, I just mean—ah, I do like you, and would like to spend some more time with you, but...

[...]

Nya.

[aria_ardeinae]

I wish to express my feelings to a certain person properly.

[assent]

[ Akechi... ]

You... [ She blinks, startled rather than shocked or horrified at least because there has to be something to explain it. ] ...do?

[counterfaith]

Then, I'll ask the same of you.

[artisticliberty]

It's a design for another mural I intend to paint. It's been a work-in-progress since we arrived, but I should have the final design before the game is over. I thought about removing the curtains from the stage and painting over them but I may have to make do with another wall... I was thinking either the cafeteria or the gymnasium.

[counterfaith]

Shouldn't you be concerned for yourself first?

[assent]

Your lighter? May I ask why? Of course... it is not part of the truth so you are free to decline.

[counterfaith]

Ah, that will be easy. Please give me a moment.

[plsbully]

Mm, perhaps especially for those of that sort.

Well, then ... truth or dare?

[counterfaith]

. . . Dare.

[motorcycle_noises]

....My friends.

[ Though for a guy talking about what makes him happiest, he sure does look really sad. ]

[starinhereye]

I thought it might.

[i'm going to die, sorry avenger]

[dismemberthename]

[Sudoh's reaction is a little strange, hands tightening into fists, gaze going a little distant as Avenger speaks (is his hair a little longer than before? no, couldn't be)

but it clears up, after a few moments.]

Ah. Shit. No wonder.

[artisticliberty]

The singer is... then, the reason you asked about them before... you knew them before they became famous?

[lefthandpath]

Dare, if you please.

[artisticliberty]

I will not deliberately break the rules by fighting someone after I nearly ended up in a fight earlier this week.

[motorcycle_noises]

It's a memento from a very dear friend.... when we were kids, we exchanged gifts with each other. I gave him my dad's watch, he gave me his dad's lighter. We both agreed that it didn't matter who held onto those things, it was the same either way.

[motorcycle_noises]

I'll do a dare this time.

[fightingoverdose]

[and...recovering]

No wonder you're Mr. Popular, you should start holdin' classes.

[assent]

Of course. [ She pauses after taking his hand. ]

I know you said no questions asked, but do I need to close my eyes also?

[ ?? What is happening? ]
