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!

Is there anyone here you have romantic inclinations towards?

[motorcycle_noises]

[ What if I listen to it every d— ]

....Thank you, Kitagawa-san. It means a lot to me.

[truthstranger]

U-Um, then... I dare you to borrow an item of clothing or an accessory from someone, and wear it for the rest of the day.

[counterfaith]

Not particularly.

[counterfaith]

[ . . . :|a ]

I have already returned Avenger his hat. . .

[plsbully]

[ buddy ]

... Was it intentional, sleeping at all these locations?

[counterfaith]

I don't mind answering these questions, but I think it's your turn for this truth or dare game?

[slice_of_life]

Ahaha... that's... those're the words of someone who's not a fan but wants to sound polite... it's okay, Shirou. I know it disgusts most people...

Um... well, there are a lot of good ones, but the first that got me interested in the genre was Portrait of Markov... you may not have heard of it, but it has to do with a girl in high school who moves in with her long-lost sister... But, as soon as she does so, her life gets really strange. She gets targeted by these people who escaped from a religious camp that was turned into a human experiment prison... And while her life is in danger, she needs to desperately choose who to trust. No matter what she does, she ends up destroying most of her relationships and her life starts to fall apart...

[artisticliberty]

[please do, please visit me every day and listen to music with me while i draw you.......

yusuke stands up and closes the distance between them, touching tatsuya's cheek again]

[futurebullets]

Sure. As long as it's not anything too weird, I don't mind.

[Hinata doesn't think Ruler's going to hit the Betray button on him, but you know, better safe than sorry]

[truthstranger]

Ah, you had his hat before?

[counterfaith]

. . . Certainly, it is not to my own taste, but it is not as if it disgusts me? These are fictional, after all - if you were to have such a taste for real people to be assaulted in such a way, I would be concerned, but wanting to read something thrilling - is that so wrong?

[ pausing ]

. . . I haven't heard of it, you're right. But, do you think it would be a good beginner's book for someone who is unfamiliar with the genre?

[counterfaith]

Yes, for the bingo - though I did not return it to him until now.

[ debating stealing it again anyway ]

Mm, I'll figure it out, however.

[artisticliberty]

I did not think so, but it would have been interesting if you had said otherwise.

[counterfaith]

It isn't anything too weird - rather, I would like to prevent "too weird" things from being asked.

Since our hosts do not have anything outlined for us by way of boundaries, I would like to establish a 'no physical intimacy or cruelty' rule - though violence is against the rules of this entire event, it is still possible to be cruel to someone, in particular given the tools we've been supplied. In exchange, I don't have anything that I would be uncomfortable with answering as a truth.

Is that alright?

[counterfaith]

I'm leaving the romancing to the young folk.

Truth or dare?

[afailedmurder]

Yes, I'm fine with that. So which will it be? Truth or dare?

[counterfaith]

Thank you for listening to my request. I'll take dare, then.

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Tatsuya leans into the touch slightly. ]

I'll probably come by again, then.

[artisticliberty]

[he slides his fingers along his jawline a little...]

You are welcome here anytime. I drew you again, just now.

[slice_of_life]

R-Right! You're absolutely right! There's a stark line between fantasy and reality, and everyone needs to pay attention to it...! And not judge people for what they like to read, even if what they were reading ever happened in real life, it would probably be the equivalent of a national headline about a serial murder with how depraved it is!

[afailedmurder]

I don't need to be humored, either.

[pulls the cap off with a pop]

[artisticliberty]

[his eyes get really wide and he reaches out to stop him]

Stop--!

[motorcycle_noises]

[ I should really stop him from doing that, this is a terrible idea, i should really st ]

....Can I see it?

I really do... it sneaks up on you. You're reading it, and you just think "Nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong," until all of a sudden the descriptions are becoming more gross and the scenes are becoming more tense... if you know it's a horror book it's even better because the scenes start so sweetly you just know the horror is waiting for you. It really amplifies the anxiety and unease you might feel... knowing that eventually the other shoe is going to drop, even as you start to get wrapped up in the characters and their interactions...
