randangonpa | Trash Squad Day 5

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!

Ah... actually... I'm really sorry. I promised I'd read it with Sonia... we haven't quite... done that, yet.

I m-mean, I'd like to, and maybe... I can give it to you after...? We're just waiting for an opportunity...

Oh... all right. Do you want truth or dare...?

Well, that's fine. I don't mind waiting.

Ah, I'll pick dare, by the way.

[ and, grabbing a vial for himself ]

. . . Can I ask a favor first, Mikan-san?

Such is the nature of this excursion, I think.

A request first, please - if you would.

[Waves him off.] Don't worry about it. I wasn't going to ask you to do anything like that, anyway.

If you want to answer a truth... Did you get enough sleep last night?

[He might have nothing to hide, but Akira saw that yawn]

[ he's nodding while akira is speaking, bringing one of the bottles to his lips

though, he regrets it a little, now that it's down. ]

. . . Ahh, I, ah, did not sleep last night.

Why not? Is something on your mind?

Mmm. . . It isn't exactly that.

[ a little quiet ]

Truth or dare, Akira-san?

[Frowns, but he used his one question, so no point in pushing it.]

Truth.

[And he drinks a bottle of his own, just to make it fair.]

[ you can do it next turn

or whenever he says truth again

this might be never ]

Do you have anyone here you like romantically?

[rubs his neck and thinks about it]

Not really. I mean, we've all only known each other for five days, and there's already someone back home I...

[He looks faintly embarrassed and trails off. NEVER MIND THAT'S TOO MUCH INFORMATION, thanks truth serum]

...You already wrote such a nice poem...

It feels a little unfair...

[pause]

But you really did think fast...

[hmm...]

Okay, maybe this is too hard, but...

Try having a conversation with someone... without using the letter 'e'.

...If that's too hard, try having a conversation without using 'I' to refer to yourself.

...Do it until they realize you're doing it.

...

Is that okay?
