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!

Truth or Dare?

[assent]

[ By now a bunch have already happened so it's easier to go with-- ]

I believe this time I am ready to start with a dare, please.

[dismemberthename]

All right, ummm.

I dare you to wear your hair in a new and interesting way for the rest of the day.

[assent]

In that case, will you assist me? It is... rather difficult to style.

[ It goes all the way down to like mid-calf??? Of course it is. ]

[dismemberthename]

Sure, though I won't pretend to be any good with hair.

[assent]

That is fine. Let me take out the style it is in now, then I will trust you to do something with it.

[ It takes a little time and effort with the braid though, sorry Sudoh... ]

[dismemberthename]

Sounds good.

[nah he's a patient boy]

[assent]

[ She works on it quietly for now, but after maybe five minutes of struggling with it she finally gets it all undone. ]

Then, when you are ready.

[dismemberthename]

Thanks for humoring me with this one.

[moving around behind her to start wrestling her hair into a big, heavy braid right down her back.]

[assent]

There is no need to thank me, it is par for the course in a game like this, no?

In return, would you like truth or dare?

[dismemberthename]

Truth sounds good. Easier to do while braiding!

[assent]

Are you trying to make the guitar for Tatsuya-san?

[ Her voice is softer when she asks it though, her hands clasping tight in front of herself. She's already talked to Tatsuya anyway, so... this is more just to confirm her own suspicions on things. ]

[dismemberthename]

...Caught me.

[assent]

[ She smiles at that, trying to not look back even if she wants to - she doesn't want to mess up the work he's doing either. ]

I realised when I was talking to him earlier, but thank you for the confirmation. [ She pauses. ] Do you like him?

[ yOU CAN'T JUST ASK SOMEONE THAT ]

[dismemberthename]

[Sudoh's hands only pause for a moment in her hair, before he answers, straightforwardly enough.] I do. I like him a lot. So I want him to have something to remember me by.

[assent]

For what it is worth... I am glad for you both. [ She pauses, hesitates because it isn't her place, but Sudoh is a friend and she watched him making part of it. ] But why will he have to merely remember you?

[dismemberthename]

[he doesn't seem offended by her forwardness]

We're not from the same place, not even a little, so... if neither of us lasts long enough here to get the world-jumping prize, it's better to be ready for that, right?

[assent]

[ He thankfully can't see it, but she bites her lip at that. ]

They really did not consider anyone's feelings at all when they started this, did they?

[ The chinchillas, that is. ]

[dismemberthename]

Mm. They really didn't. But I should've known better than to get as attached as I am, either. I did know better. It just never seems to stop me.

[tying off the braid with a bit of string.]

There, finished.

[assent]

[ I should have too is on the tip of her tongue, but she keeps her mouth shut this time. ]

I hope it all works out for you. [ When she turns back around it looks like she’s fine anyway, that her mind isn’t half occupied with what Sudoh said and how she relates to it. She just looks hopeful for him. ]

Thank you for your help. I will take a truth this time, I think.

[dismemberthename]

I'll miss you too, you know, when this is over.

[just. straightforwardly.]

So I'm wishing you good luck as well.

[TRUTH OR DARE CAN FUCKING WAIT]

[assent]

[ whY IS THIS HAPPENING ]

I feel the same. It is tiring but I am trying to make the most of the time I have here with everyone.

[ Her response is still pretty guarded though in all fairness. ]

[dismemberthename]

Yeah, s'definitely all people all the time. I've never been a super social person, so it's a lot. But let's do our best with the time we have, yeah?

[assent]

I have grown up with social events so I am more used to it... I can only imagine what it is like for people that have not been raised with events like this—ah, that is being forced to talk to many other people. Not truth or dare or bingo.

[dismemberthename]

I'm definitely not used to it, but it's a lot of fun.
