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!

Something like that. Is that fine for you?

[motorcycle_noises]

That's an easy one. Sudoh is.

[dismemberthename]

Whoa. Sounds rough.

[justpure]

[Okay, how do we do this without incurring the Count's wrath?]

I dare you to go to someone else and pretend you're Sinbad the Sailor. From the Arabian stories.

Think you could manage that?

[slice_of_life]

[nods]

A-Anyway, of course, I don't mind... spending time with you. [pause]

I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that... I meant, you seem very nice too, Shuichi, so...

[...]

Ah... why don't you give me a truth or dare? ...Let's say dare, for now.

[fightingoverdose]

Ah... Guess if I stole it from someone else they coulda stole it, too. You surprised me there for a minute!

[plsbully]

... Well, that is doable enough. Shall I do so now or as it comes up?

[justpure]

At least you're not heartless.

... But I think it's your turn to ask now?

[counterfaith]

. . . This physical display of tiredness not a toll on my health, so much as. . . mm, a power-saving method. As you're aware, Spirits do require magical energy, after all.

By dulling my senses, it is possible to conserve that energy.

So, once more, you needn't worry about it. Think of it as similar to switching on power-saving mode on a phone.

[counterfaith]

Mm, I'll choose truth this time.

[motorcycle_noises]

The condensed version is this— rumours were becoming reality, which led to fighting Hitler in the ruins of an alien spaceship right before the world ended, killing most of the people with it. It was all the plot of a being called Nyarlathotep, but my friends and I were given a chance to fix everything if we gave up our memories of our friendship. We all agreed. I broke my promise, which caused everything to start happening in the new world we'd created. Along with a few other people, I managed to stop Nyarlathotep again... but he's unkillable, so the only way to keep everything from happening again and again was for me to go back to that old, mostly-dead world.

[counterfaith]

At your earliest convenience.

[justpure]

[... Oh no.]

You realize most phones switch to power-saving mode when they're low on charge, yes?

[lefthandpath]

What lead you into priesthood to begin with?

[counterfaith]

Well, I'm not that low. This is in preparation for the coming days.

[fightingoverdose]

'Course. You look too pooped to deal with that kinda bullshit anyway. The confessional competition keepin' you up at night?

[smalltales]

Doesn't that go against the whole the spirit of the game?

[counterfaith]

. . . My adoptive father is a priest, and he encouraged this as a path for me to take, in order to see and understand the world.

[justpure]

... Someone other than yourself?

[Why would he wanna say lewd stuff to people he likes?]

[plsbully]

[ why are you like this ]

-- There's no need to apologize, when I brought up such a topic in the first place.

[ ex


hales ]

... I may need to ask you a favor.

[counterfaith]

No, actually, I sleep very well at night.

Truth or dare then, Sara-san?

[justpure]

... Can I give you a dare, then?

[plsbully]

I do not see how, either way it is not an easy task.

[counterfaith]

Certainly - ah, but before that, I'd like to make a request of boundary.

[fightingoverdose]

[looks up, sharply, then looks away, cheeks a little pink]

...That's sweet of you, Yuri. I appreciate you thinkin' of me.
