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]

So it would seem. [ She taps her lip as she thinks of a dare that isn't Too Much for him to handle. ] Um... Take some toilet paper from one of the bathrooms and attempt to decorate a person of your choice with it? Like tinsel on a Christmas tree.

[counterfaith]

Alright, I will do so. For yourself, truth or dare?

[assent]

[ To be honest it actually sounds like fun more than a challenge, but okay. ]

Truth, please.

[ Even if she's wary of taking it. ]

[counterfaith]

Do you have anyone you feel anything romantic towards?

[assent]

[ She immediately regrets choosing "truth" now. Her gaze dips instinctively, cheeks flushing enough that there's really no way of denying it. It's hard to admit though, at least to him. ]

Yes... [ The word almost comes out choked until she clears her throat, stands straighter almost like she's challenging him??? to say it isn't allowed or something (why) ] Allen and Rin.

[ Like there are other people she likes well enough but it isn't... the same. They don't make her knees weak or her heart beat as quickly as those two do. ]

[counterfaith]

[ honestly, clapping his hands together ]

My, how wonderful! I'm glad to hear - is this something that was borne with this game, or had you already blossomed a romance from the game prior to this?

[assent]

[ She's surprised that he's actually encouraging this. ]

I did not know either of them before we arrived here, therefore... it was here, yes.

[counterfaith]

[ to be honest, he isn't exactly orthodox anyway - his master has like 100+ Servants that they are all in varying degrees of in love with and also, even barring that, he personally doesn't think that love can be wrong. moreover, allen deserves that happiness? so. ]I

see. Are they aware of this, or should I be keeping this as a secret?

[assent]

[ 100+ Servants they are in varying degrees of in love with... That's insane.

But considering this is going all right, she'll respond instead of trying to hedge around it. ]

Yes, they are aware. [ She pauses. ] So there is no need to keep it a secret.

[ If anything she's at least honest about this, she just sits and stews on the implications later. ]

[counterfaith]

[ fucking html fuckups no

100+ servants yes ]

I see. I'm happy to hear that you're getting along well with Mister Walker and Rin-san, Miss Sonia.

Then, I'll pick truth for myself this time.

[assent]

[ it's fine!!!

At least he doesn't know that she's watched them both kiss as well. As long as he thinks it's Pure they're fine. ]

Truth? Then... have you ever been in love before?

[counterfaith]

[ just don't tell him ANYTHING ]

Mm . . . I would say yes, I have been in love.

[assent]

[ That would be for the best, yup... ]

In the past? What were they like?

[counterfaith]

Let's see - recently, I received chocolate from her under threat of death.

[assent]

U...Under threat of death?!

[ Ruler???? That doesn't sound healthy??? ]

[counterfaith]

Of course, I took it because I did not want to die.

[ with a little boyish giggle, however. he loves her so much ]

When we had finally met, she was beyond my expectations. I'm very grateful to have met her.

[assent]

[ Oh no... The content of this part of the conversation is worrying but he looks and sounds so happy like... Can she argue with it? ]

I... I see. Then I am very happy for you. Is she here?

[counterfaith]

Fortunately, she is not.

[ what is this whiplash of contrasting expression to words ]

[assent]

But if you love her, would you not want her here?

[ This is so alarming stop this, Ruler... ]

[counterfaith]

But then, wouldn't I have to share her with someone else?

[ lightly, with a wink ]

. . . I'm joking. But, for the sake of everyone here, it is better that she isn't here. After all, she isn't "Assassin" for nothing.

[assent]

...Are you? [ She blinks, because honestly that's a feeling she can understand in a way--even if things have changed a bit now. ]

Though it seems rather unusual for a priest and an assassin to be together... Almost like a forbidden love.

[counterfaith]

It's definitely a joke. After all, we aren't together - I did say I was in love with her, but it is impossible for us to be anything significant. After all, if that sounds ridiculous to you - that is, a priest and an Assassin - then is it not even more ridiculous for a priest and a Queen to be together?

[assent]

Actually, it is not... At least in my opinion. Royalty often have a religious advisor by their side. Why could it not be that way for you?

[counterfaith]

Ah, I am not her religious advisor. Moreover, I am a commoner, and someone who was never supposed to meet her in the first place.

[assent]

You may not be now no, but if you both felt that way... it would be a good way to stay close, would it not?

[ If you want to be by her side just go for it??? ]
