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!

What are your feelings towards me?

[artisticliberty]

Of course.

[he turns over the image, a sketch of sudoh that is almost wanton in how thirsty he looks. his blush is obvious, his lips parted slightly, and his eyes half-lidded. the blush travels down from his cheeks to his neck, disappearing under the pelt. there's a rose sketched in the corner, as well]

I want to frame it with roses, even if they are somewhat cliché.

[artisticliberty]

Because I can only imagine what having such beautiful memories to cherish must be like. I asked you because I want to paint an image that brings about an idea of serenity, of gentleness... your answer was unexpected.

[counterfaith]

Surely, you have memories of your own that are precious.

[artisticliberty]

Yes. But none I have of my family. I was too young to really remember what my mother's face looked like.

[pecker]

Mm...

I'll take a dare then. That's, um, the red tequila, right?

[motorcycle_noises]

[ He thought that's what it might be. ]

....Talking to you.... makes me happy. You're a kind person, a passionate person... and I admire that. You seem to have this inner strength that shines through you. And I can't help but think, "I like him."

[counterfaith]

[ isn't it hilarious how fast he goes from fake smiling to dumping all his feelings into the ocean so he can feel for yusuke ]

. . . I see. A sensitive topic for both of us, then. My apologies.

[artisticliberty]

[yusuke doesn't look embarrassed very often... but he's definitely blushing now. he tucks some hair behind his ear, which just immediately falls loose again]

I... have similar feelings towards you.

[dismemberthename]

Saw right through me again... I never realized how much my face shows.

[Glances away from it, embarrassed, something complicated flitting across his face.]

Roses are great. It's a cliché for a reason.

[motorcycle_noises]

[ While the question had made him wonder from the moment he suspected that's what he'd wanted to ask, Tatsuya's cheeks still turn a distinct shade of pink. ]

...Yeah?

[artisticliberty]

I think perhaps I just have a habit of looking at your face more than necessary.

[artisticliberty]

That is why... I don't wish for you to leave. I want to support you even if I'm envious of what you had.

[dismemberthename]

I'll take that as the compliment it is.

[counterfaith]

. . . Then, let us at least take a seat somewhere quiet. I was not lying when I said that I was tired.

[slice_of_life]

Ah... Well I suppose if I must...

Have you ever been in... love?

[counterfaith]

[ taking a drink from a vial, first ]

Yes.

[slice_of_life]

Was it... a happy experience?

[artisticliberty]

[he squeezes tatsuya's hand]

I want to support you. I want to fight by your side, but more than that, I want to be at your side. I admire your strength, your compassion... I want to help you carry your pain, and I want to see you smile. I want to tell you everything about my life, my thoughts, my feelings... it's so strange to me, to have felt so strongly for someone after only knowing them for a few days--but I do not mind it at all.

[artisticliberty]

Shall we continue?

[artisticliberty]

... very well. Please lead the way.

[dismemberthename]

Sure. My turn to take a truth or dare, right? Truth, then.

[artisticliberty]

What do you think of Suoh?

[dismemberthename]

...I like him a lot. He's sweet, and kind, and I've fallen for him for sure. I just... wish I could do more for him, you know? Outside of this place. He's so alone...

[artisticliberty]

[dang those are basically my exact same feelings]

I, too, wish I could help him more. Akira and I offered to take him home with us, since we seem to live in a universe parallel to his, eighteen years in the future. Knowing the solitude he has to suffer in to save the universe... it's too much to comprehend. Recklessly, I think I would take the risk, if it meant saving him from that fate. But... I cannot make that decision for him. Wanting to is just my own selfishness.
