randangonpa | Trash Squad Day 5

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!

What, you won't say it's a godly sort of charm?

You are as aware as I am that these rankings are noted to be "hottest" - or, in other words, "most attractive". There is nothing godly about that.

I doubt it's purely physical attraction that had people voting for you. If you were entirely unpleasant but very handsome I doubt you would be as high up.

[ rolls to be on his back, pink at the ears ]

I should hope it's not about physical attraction!

[ he laughs. is Shirou still in his lap ]

Then it is as we were discussing -- they find your personality endearing as well.

[ yes ]

Endearing - in the dating sort of sense! I don't care for it.

[ ok keeps up pets ]

You already admit to being charismatic.

[ what! blinks a little, though he doesn't like, move away from them ]

In life, it was only a matter of being able to motivate my comrades - simply a factor that resulted in my ascension as the leader. But, this and that are two different things.

[ mya ]

But you can still use that sort of persuasiveness, even when you do not intend to, here.

I understand it, I know - logically, but it is still hard to digest. . .

Would physical attraction be such a negative thing...?

. . . Ultimately, it isn't something that I mind, in the end. Love is love, after all.

But, given who we are—is it not already tragic, when we are like a dream that will fade away in the morning? Even if we should meet again, Master is the person in my life that I devote myself to now.

Moreover, I am far too preoccupied as a person to be able to receive any sort of affection like that.

I did not say we should wholly commit ourselves to any here. You and I both know - - such an idea is unrealistic, considering who we are.

But you would not entertain trysts of any sort...?
