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!

[ She smiles at him, but it's half like a grimace. ]

It is all right, take your time.

[ She'll just sit waiting here. ]

[lacrimose]

[Akira skids into the greenhouse minutes later, having run ahead of Reyson after hearing she was stuck in a tree. He stops at the bottom, looking up at her.]

Sonia! Are you okay?

[assent]

[ By the time anyone comes in to help her she's already managed to calm down all the more, though she is also still refusing to look down just yet. ]

Ah... yes, I am unharmed. Are you here to help?

[ Reyson did say he was going to ask, so... ]

[lacrimose]

Yeah, Reyson sent me. I can fly up and get you down easily, but you have to trust me.

[aka: pls don't freak out if he becomes a giant winged hellbeast]

[assent]

[ More like she’ll get excited—which is probably not the reaction he’ll expect. ] Of course I trust you.

[lacrimose]

[Akira transforms, huge bat wings sprouting from his back (another shirt ruined, oops), growing claws and fangs, until he's fully in his Devilman form. It only takes a single beat of his wings to reach a branch adjacent to the one she's stuck in. Burying his claws into the tree and using his tail for balance, he carefully reaches to put his other arm around Sonia's back to scoop her up.]

Put your arms around my neck and hold on.

[His voice has more of a coarse, animalistic growl to it, but he definitely still sounds like Akira.]

[assent]

[ You have to trust me, he says, but really she can't not be surprised when her saviour changes in front of her eyes. When he lands on the tree her gaze shifts over him, her cheeks flushing slightly because this is?????? incredible???????? ]

How...? [ Her arms are reaching up blindly though, gaze unable to look away from him. ]

[lacrimose]

[Akira can't help but stare back for a moment when he catches her gaze. Up close like this it's impossible to miss how pretty she is, especially when she blushes.]

...I'm a Devilman. My body is a devil's, but my heart is still human.

[He holds her close in a gentle but firm grip, and once he's sure her arms are securely around his neck, he leaps down from the tree, landing on the ground light as a cat.]

[aria_ardeinae]

[ Rushes in, takes one look, casually, quietly backs right back out. They're clearly having a moment. Goddess damn, those massive hairy arms though ]

[assent]

[ Her mouth opens slightly, like she's about to ask something else but instead she holds onto him a bit tighter, all the more aware that they should probably get her out of the tree before asking him a million questions.

Sorry Reyson... for that.

When he lands down on the floor, gracefully and carefully, she lifts her head again to ask: ]

Have you always been like this?

[lacrimose]

[There is room for two in these massive hairy arms, Reyson!! Akira sets her down and folds his wings, shaking his head.]

It happened recently. A demon possessed me, but my heart was stronger than his, so the only thing that changed was my body.

[assent]

[ She says a soft "thank you" as she's set back down, feet now on solid ground again. Her hand tucks a piece of her hair behind her ear, and it's very hard to not delve into a million other questions about it. ]

I see... You seem to have a lot of control even though it happened recently, however.

[lacrimose]

Yeah. I'm not dangerous to anyone here.

[And if he is... Well, he has Rin to count on, if it comes to that.]

If I tried to use my strength to escape, though, my powers stop working, same as anyone else.

[assent]

Ah, that is not what I meant... more that you were able to move quite freely despite it being new to you.

[ She already made the mistake of almost triggering Rin into a negative spiral a day or two ago, so here's hoping it doesn't happen here. ]

[lacrimose]

[He already had his freakout when people here first discovered what he was, there's (probably??) no risk of negative spiralling now.]

A lot of it is instinct. I learned to move like a demon as soon as I got this body.

[assent]

[ Akira... no. No freakouts now, okay. ]

It is truly incredible! You moved so fluidly too... as though nothing could hold you back.
