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!

[stands up]

I will not. How can I let you leave when you are clearly only running away to lick your wounds? It may not be my place to do so when I've hurt you, but I wish to help you.

[dismemberthename]

[about ten minutes in Sudoh starts fantasizing to keep himself from snapping, which is something of a mistake, since he's just working himself up more, and. Whoops.]

[artisticliberty]

[good!! more blushing!!]

Yes... that expression is perfect.

[dismemberthename]

Fuuuuck...

[counterfaith]

[ ssstaying in his spot, with a smile ]

Please, I am alright - you didn't do anything to hurt me. It's only, a little difficult - but I am in no need of help nor comfort, I can assure you.

[artisticliberty]

Is something the matter?

[he stops drawing for a moment, raising an eyebrow]

[motorcycle_noises]

Good. I'm glad. Stealing other people's work is terrible. He deserves every bit of punishment he could get.

[artisticliberty]

Is this what you do when you cannot face others? You simply run away?

[dismemberthename]

No, s'fine, keep going.

[artisticliberty]

Yes. He is serving time in prison now, and will be for a good many years. Perhaps he'll learn to value his own work in that time, instead of using others to fuel his own wealth.

... but, I've distracted us from the game. Let us speak of something else.

[motorcycle_noises]

....Sorry. I guess I got caught up in hearing about you. I'll take a "truth" this time.

[counterfaith]

............ It seems, Kitagawa-san, there is something of a misunderstanding happening here. It isn't as if I cannot face you - if you would like me to speak about my dead relatives, then I can. I have nothing to be ashamed of, in particular; as I stated before, I don't have any taboo subjects, so it isn't as if I mind the questions.

But, I find it is a rather awkward subject to be speaking to with another person - once I have brought it up, then I am looked at with eyes of pity, much like your own. For the sake of social politeness, I had hoped to excuse myself, but very well, if you are so eager to pay the price for an imaginary slight, by all means.

Go right ahead.

[artisticliberty]

Very well.

[he continues, grey eyes darting back and forth between sudoh's expression and his paper, a few strands of silky hair falling in front of his face, blending in with long eyelashes. he twirls his pencil a few times with his long fingers, thinking, letting it dance over his knuckles before catching it and picking up where he left off.

but these are all minor details that i'm sure sudoh isn't noticing at all]

[dismemberthename]

[please as if those hands weren't already featuring aggressively in his fantasies.

Yeah dying though. He's so pretty and Sudoh cares so much.]

[artisticliberty]

[eventually, yusuke will lean back with a satisfied expression and nod]

That will do for now. I'll clean it up later when I have more time.

[artisticliberty]

It isn't pity with which I look at you, Kotomine. It's sympathy. And... envy, as well.

[artisticliberty]

I would not mind telling you the full story, necessarily... but I fear I'll take up all your time today, if I do.

[... he hesitates a little, thinking about the question he really wants to ask]

[counterfaith]

My apologies for troubling you so. Why is it that you feel envy?

[motorcycle_noises]

Maybe later, then.

[ Like the next time he crashes into Yusuke's place to listen to his Gas Chamber CD— ]

[dismemberthename]

[sudoh's voice is kind of rough for some reason??]

C'n I see?

[counterfaith]

Thank you for your concern, Ryouka-san.

Did you want to start, then? Or shall I pick?

[artisticliberty]

[yeah like then. yusuke's still hesitating to ask]

[motorcycle_noises]

...You having a hard time coming up with something?

[artisticliberty]

No. I know what question I wish to ask, but I want you to answer it truthfully. And I have no interest in those vials.

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Tatsuya's quiet for a moment, flicking his zippo open and shut before saying anything. ]

....Whatever it is... I'll answer it honestly and without any help.
