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!

Alright. I dare you to only speak positively of yourself for the rest of today.

[slice_of_life]

[...!]

I-I... I can't do that!

[truthstranger]

Sure you can.

[slice_of_life]

Uuuuum... but... why...?

[SHE'S SO CONFUSED]

[truthstranger]

Because how you talk about yourself can affect how you think about yourself, and I think you should have more confidence in yourself.

[slice_of_life]

...That's a bad idea, Shuichi...

[truthstranger]

Why?

[slice_of_life]

I'm just... not very good with people, in general... I have to... keep reminding myself that... otherwise I'll just come off as too intense and I'll make people uncomfortable...

[truthstranger]

Mm, what if people like that intensity, though? I don't think you're that bad with people. You're just holding yourself back.

[slice_of_life]

[shakes her head]

[truthstranger]

Don't other people get any input on whether they think you're good with them?

[slice_of_life]

Uuu... that's just it, Shuichi... I've... always been told that...

[...]

If I just don't worry and act naturally, I come off as too strong, and intense... but if I hold myself back, people think I'm an awkward know-it-all...

[truthstranger]

...Well, I don't think whoever told you that was right. And even if that's true for someone, not everyone has the same perspective on people... something that might come off too strong to one person might be appealing to someone else. And, I mean, a lot of the people here are pretty intense, right?

[slice_of_life]

...I don't know.

I'm sorry, I don't even know if I can anymore...

[truthstranger]

Will you try? At least a little. You don't have to do it completely, or all day.

[slice_of_life]

Ahaha... all right... I... easier said than done, but I can... try.

[truthstranger]

Great!
