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!

Ah...

[ He waits, getting a vague sense he made a mistake somehow. ]

NSFW, probably

[justpure]

[Kiyo returns with a doorstop of a book in his hands. He sits down, flips through the page until he finds a suitably cringeworthy passage, clears his throat and begins to read...]

[... To Shuichi.]

When he had scaled the highest peak, when he hung suspended over the abyss of ecstasy, he paused, deliberately, waiting for me. I shredded his silk shirt with my nails and moaned, moving beneath him, wrapping my legs around him, and that great dam of sensation began to give, began to topple. I opened my eyes and stared up at the stars flashing, glittering, dancing with silvery brilliance...

[He's just reading this in the most uninterested monotone, like he's trying to add more discomfort to an already cringey passage. Someone stop him.]

[truthstranger]

[ In retrospect Shuichi isn't sure what he thought was going to happen. There's no way something like this would embarrass Korekiyo. At least maybe he could have inflicted his sultry voice reading dubious erotica on someone else??

As it is, he swiftly turns red as he reads, and eventually reaches his limit and cuts in. ]

T-That's fine, that's enough!

[justpure]

[To be perfectly honest, Shuichi never specified how Kiyo was meant to read it, and no matter how lowly he thought of himself he was technically a "someone."]

[Nevertheless, Kiyo seems to grin under the mask as he snaps the offending book shut.]

Now then... I believe it's your turn, Saihara-kun.

Truth or dare?

[truthstranger]

Ah... truth.

[ That seems... safer... ]

POSSIBLE V3 SPOILERS AHEAD

[justpure]

[You think so, Shuichi?]

Truth..?

[He leans in twoards Shuichi and speaks in a low voice, for the benefit of the other captives here.]

Then... Suppose you were able to bring back one person from our class. Besides Mamota-kun, Oma-kun and myself, who would you rescue and why?

[Don't forget, the truth hurts at times.]

[truthstranger]

[ His expression does in fact go much darker. ]

...I wouldn't... I couldn't do that.

[justpure]

Oh...? So there's nobody you wanted to save from that nightmare if you could?

Nobody at all?

[truthstranger]

Of course there is! I want to save everyone! No one there deserved to die!

[justpure]

Then why wouldn't you do so if you had to choose?

[He tilts his head slightly.] I'm curious.

[truthstranger]

...I couldn't... I couldn't choose. I couldn't bring back someone selfishly. If somehow that was possible... anyone is fine.

[justpure]

... I see.

[He finally relents, getting out of Shuichi's face.]

I must admit, that is rather noble of you to say such things.

[truthstranger]

...It's not noble. Maybe I'm just afraid.

[justpure]

At least you're not heartless.

... But I think it's your turn to ask now?

[truthstranger]

...Ah, right... truth or dare?

[justpure]

...Truth.

[Because dare sounds more dangerous now.]

[truthstranger]

...Do you regret... anything that you've done?

V3 Spoilers

[justpure]

...

[He must have opened his mouth for a second before closing it.]

[He fell silent.]

[What's wrong? He was so sure of the awnser before... But now he wasn't sure he ever did anything... Other than...]

[truthstranger]

Shinguji-kun...?

[justpure]

... Saihara-kun? Tell me you have heard of Schrodigner's Cat..?

[How else will he explain this?]

[truthstranger]

Ah... I'm familiar with the concept, yes.

Just puts spoiler warnings all over this thread.

[justpure]

Good...

Now, remember what you told me on the first day? And the bit about the different universes that exist...?

[Well, he may as well spit it out...]

What am I supposed to regret if I can't be sure I actually did anything...?

[truthstranger]

...At the very least, our game was real. And that was our reality.

[justpure]

So... That would mean I had only taken two girls...

For a dream that barely even existed...

[It's an... Interesting choice of words...]

[truthstranger]

[ It's an interesting choice of words, but less a vehement denial of the entire concept than he was expecting. ]

...Yes. All of the reasons to kill that were given to us... were fabricated, so...
