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!

Thanks. By the way, if you want to keep going, I pick truth.

[dismemberthename]

Hmm. Then, what do you think of Yusuke?

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Oh boy. ]

...He's a kind person. Talking to him makes me happy. I-I like him. But.... There's several reasons I can think of why doing anything with that would be a terrible idea.

[dismemberthename]

Is it okay if I ask? Not- not within truth or dare, obviously. I wouldn't force you.

[motorcycle_noises]

One, he's from eighteen years in my future. Two, I could never visit him at home. Three, I'm not entirely sure how much of my feelings are because of who Kitagawa-san is as a person and how much of it is because of how much he looks like my last boyfriend.

[dismemberthename]

Those are all... extremely legitimate.

The resemblance is that strong?

[motorcycle_noises]

It's not a perfect resemblance— Kitagawa-san is taller, for one. But it's enough to make you take a second look just to make sure you aren't seeing things.

[dismemberthename]

It's not... it's not quite the same, but. I think, if you're worried about not seeing Yusuke as himself, you're already past not seeing him as himself. Because, I've done that. I've treated someone like a road to someone else, and it took me... too long to realize, but once I did, it stopped happening.

[motorcycle_noises]

Nobody could ever replace Jun, but... Maybe I'm just being paranoid.

[ He rests his head on Sudoh's shoulder. ]

[dismemberthename]

"Paranoid" implies you don't have good reasons to be worried. I'd say you have more than any one person should.

[motorcycle_noises]

Thank you for understanding.

[dismemberthename]

No worries. I'm here for you, until I can't be. But that's not yet.

[motorcycle_noises]

Selfishly.... I want to hold onto you for as long as I can.

[dismemberthename]

[fuck

clings to.]

Me too.

[motorcycle_noises]

Sudoh...

[ He's going to cling back tbqh. ]

[dismemberthename]

I wish... I could guarantee what time we'll have together.

[motorcycle_noises]

There's no guarantees in life. There never is. I'll just treasure those moments I can get.

[dismemberthename]

Just... treat yourself kindly, okay? For me, if not for yourself.

[hey sudoh why does it sound like you're saying goodbye]

[motorcycle_noises]

....Don't say it like that. Don't say it like you're saying goodbye. Don't say goodbye yet. We've still got at least until they announce eliminations, right?

[ Yeah, Tatsuya's more and more convinced he's going to be up for those. ]

[dismemberthename]

No, I-- I didn't mean it like that. I'm thinking about after... after all of this, no matter how long either of us lasts.

[motorcycle_noises]

[ I'm a lonely, messed up wreck don't leave m ]

I promise I'll keep going, regardless of what happens.

[dismemberthename]

[we really fucked up with our emotions didn't we

kisses him, gently]

Okay. Thank you.

[motorcycle_noises]

[ We totally fucked up. Tatsuya kisses him back every bit as gently. ]

I know you're going back to a difficult place, but.... try to take care of yourself as much as you can.

[dismemberthename]

I'll do what I can.

[which is not the same as saying he'll do his best.]

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Tatsuya knows that... but also realizes it might be the closest Sudoh can honestly respond with. ]

Thank you.
