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!

Oh! I'm half-demon, that's why. It's why my ears and teeth and stuff are the way they are too.

[He'll smile big to show off those teeth, too.]

[artisticliberty]

[yusuke leans in to look at his teeth up-close]

I noticed they were rather sharp when you held that strawberry before, but I did not expect that to be the reason why.

[flamingprick]

Yep! Pretty cool, huh?

But anyway it's your turn: truth, or dare?

[artisticliberty]

They do cut an imposing image.

Truth.

[flamingprick]

How many paintings have you done here so far?

[Since Yusuke seems like an artist, this feels like a safe question to ask.]

[artisticliberty]

Just one. The rest have been sketches, although I'm considering transferring some of those to canvas.

[flamingprick]

Yeah? What do you draw here, people?

[artisticliberty]

Primarily portraits, but I also draw landscapes, still-lifes, and abstract. I need the most practice when it comes to portraiture, however, so it has been a good opportunity to hone my skills. Would you care to look?

[he has his sketchbook nearby, because of course]

[flamingprick]

Sure, I'll look.

[Rin doesn't exactly have an eye for art, but with portraits it's just trying to make them look like a real person, right?]

[artisticliberty]

[yusuke opens his sketchbook for rin to peruse:

virtually everything in his sketchbook is portraits: there's one of shuichi framed with cyclamen flowers, as well as ones of joker!akira, tatsuya, sudoh (there's about three just of sudoh, including one of him sleeping), allen, kotomine... some quicker sketches of other people, most likely done on the fly--sara, sonia, rin (yeah, you), yuri, elizabeth, zen. there's a prototype mural design for the one before that had the phantom thieves design with the calling card on it. and a page with a still-life of various flowers in the greenhouse.

there's also a weird-looking mural design near the back. it's a series of ostentatious, wild-looking figures--monsters? demons?--that looks kind of like it should be on the cover of a manga or a video game.]

[flamingprick]

[Even with his lack of artistic skill, he can tell these are pretty good. Yusuke is definitely more talented than Rin gave him credit for.

He's going to ask about the mural near the back in a moment, but first-]

You drew me?

[He's not upset or anything, just curious.]

[artisticliberty]

[the quick sketch of rin has him grinning with the strawberry in his mouth, ftr]

Yes. It was an exercise in examining my feelings, as most of my art is.

[flamingprick]

[He's almost afraid to ask.]

And what was the feeling there?

[artisticliberty]

Hmm... for this one, I would say--amusement. I was pleased that we were no longer fighting, and I've come to find you an interesting and amusing presence.

[flamingprick]

[Those are pretty positive thoughts at least.]

Yeah? Well that's good. You're not too bad of a guy yourself, you know? And you're REALLY good at this drawing stuff. I bet you could draw something without looking at it, huh?

[artisticliberty]

I often do, but it's often a test of mental fortitude. If I want the best possible picture, I need a model.

[flamingprick]

..say, um. If I describe someone to you, do you think you could draw them? It's okay to say no if it's too hard to do.

[artisticliberty]

It would be quite difficult for me to do so based on description alone... but it sounds like an interesting challenge.

[flamingprick]

It's alright! Even if it's not perfect, just trying is enough. Can we do it now?

[artisticliberty]

Very well, I will accept your challenge. Shall we sit?

[he goes over to a love sac with his sketchbook and opens it, at the ready]

[flamingprick]

[Rin sits down, and he thinks over it a bit before he starts. It's been over a month for him since he heard these words, so he has to struggle to remember exactly what was said.]

Okay. It's a woman, but not too old of a woman. So like, mid-20s or so. She's got a face like mine and eyes like mine, but it's...kinder? Like, she's always smiling. That kind of thing. In fact, she looks like she doesn't have a mean bone in her body. Um...her hair should be long, and dark like mine is. Oh! And she has moles on her face too. Um...under her eye and on her chin, I think?

[Basically he is describing this woman here, though it's a secondhand description so it might not be 100% accurate. He also sounds a little anxious as he describes her too.]

[artisticliberty]

[yusuke listens to rin's description, studying his face for a similar structure to build off of, and nods before he gets to work]

You said two moles, one under her eye and on her chin? Which eye?

[flamingprick]

Left one?

[He sounds unsure, but that's where Yukio's moles are, so maybe hers was like that too.]

[artisticliberty]

[yusuke takes note and continues]

Are there any more details you can provide?

[flamingprick]

No, that's all I really know...

[He wishes he could have seen a picture or something, but nope. He's got nothing.]
