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!

[assent]

[ She hums, thinking it over. ]

Have you told Sudoh-san your feelings yet?

[ We're coming back to this apparently. ]

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Tatsuya ponders that question for a moment. ]

I've told Sudoh that I like him.... though I'm not sure he really gets how much that's true.

[assent]

I... can understand that, a little. [ Though she won't go into that either. ] I wonder if it is difficult to believe in a situation like this...? I could not say for certain.

[motorcycle_noises]

I think with some people... it might not be just the situation, but perhaps in general.... that they lack that sort of self-confidence.

[assent]

...That is true.

[ Thankfully she doesn't have that issue, hers is more rooted in what it means to have a duty to her country as well. But... There is someone she has in mind for that, after what she said to him during bingo and his reaction it seems fitting enough. ]

I suppose we will just have to work harder to ensure they can see it for themselves too, no?

[motorcycle_noises]

[ A smile flickers on Tatsuya's face. ]

...Yeah, we will.

[assent]

Then let us cheer one another on. [ Even if she has not said a thing about who she is talking about ah ]

[motorcycle_noises]

I'll definitely cheer you on.

[ He figures if she wanted to share, she would. ]

[assent]

Ah... thank you. Um... sorry I got caught up in this. Would you like to keep playing?

[motorcycle_noises]

I'm willing with you are. I think it's my turn...? I'll pick truth.

[assent]

Of course. If you were stuck on a desert island with little chance of escape, what three items would you wish to have with you?

[motorcycle_noises]

My lighter, my motorcycle, and my guitar.

[ Who needs practicality? ]

[assent]

I suppose a lighter would be useful for a while... but wouldn't a motorcycle get stuck in the sand?

[motorcycle_noises]

Yeah, but having it around will make me happier.

[assent]

I suppose that is true. [ She looks thoughtful. ] Hopefully you would be rescued before it got damaged, too.

[motorcycle_noises]

That depends on what world the desert island is on.

[ Tatsuya shrugs. ]

Either way, I'd prefer not to be trapped on one.

[assent]

It is not always a bad thing, however.

[ Speaking as someone who... was...]

[motorcycle_noises]

Just the same, I'll stick to my city.

[assent]

That is understandable. [ She smiles, though it's a bit weaker this time. ]

One more for the stove?

[ Road..... ]

[motorcycle_noises]

Stove?

[ He doesn't quite get that she's mangling a saying. ]

[assent]

Um yes... like the last one before we continue on to ask other people?

[ Maybe he'll get it now. ]

[motorcycle_noises]

Oh! One more for the road.

[ He gets it now. ]

Yeah, I'm willing if you are. Truth or dare?

[assent]

I did find it an unusual combination. [ Well at least she'll remember for next time. ]

But I will take a dare for the finale, I think.

[motorcycle_noises]

Could it be that you're not very good with sayings?

[That's cute.

Tatsuya takes a moment to consider his dare, though. ]

I dare you to dance with someone.

[assent]

It is not my first language, but I had thought I was fine?

[ SHE ISN'T. ]

In that case... [ She pauses. ] Will you dance with me?
