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!

[ Tatsuya nods. ]

That's no problem at all. What do you think of everyone so far?

[assent]

Is this in general, or should I talk about everyone specifically?

[ THAT WILL TAKE A WHILE... ]

[motorcycle_noises]

J-just in general!

[ Everyone specifically would take SO LONG. ]

[assent]

Everyone has been very kind, and I have enjoyed speaking to everyone. [ A pause, then it's like ??? She's someone else with the way her expression darkens enough that she looks angry. ] Except one person, that is.

[motorcycle_noises]

...Do you mind if I ask who?

[assent]

Isuke. [ At least that's the name she got from the record, so... ]

[motorcycle_noises]

I can't imagine what she did to make you angry, but it must've been bad.

[ Sonia's such a nice girl??? ]

[assent]

We had a disagreement, that is all.

[ That anger seeps away fairly quickly, at least, only to become more like guilt or sadness. ]

A dispute regarding our backgrounds, I suppose. [ She pauses, trying to give him an encouraging smile. ] Do not worry, it is fine. Which would you prefer, truth or dare?

[ EVERYTHING IS FINE. ]

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Everything doesn't sound fine, but Tatsuya recognizes a "drop it" when he hears one. ]

Ah... Truth, to start with.

[assent]

Of course. [ Her voice has at least softened out when she starts to ask her question. ] When we get to leave here, what will you miss the most?

[motorcycle_noises]

[ He's quiet for a moment while he thinks about that. ]

I think.... the company. The people. That's what I'll miss.

[assent]

I... definitely understand that.

[ She reaches for his arm and gently squeezes it sympathetically. ]

For asking something sad, I suppose this time I should choose dare, no? Feel free to not hold back.

[motorcycle_noises]

[ It's a good thing he hasn't told her EXACTLY how sad that is. ]

I dare you to kiss someone you like.

[assent]

[ He isn't the only one in that boat. ]

To... [ She pauses now, pressing a finger to her lip, worries her lip between her teeth. ] Um... what if there is potentially more than one?

[ ?????????? ]

[motorcycle_noises]

[ That's definitely true. ]

Um... Just... pick one? Lady's choice.

[assent]

[ A very sad boat. ]

Very well. Um... Should I go now and return when I am done, or do you truth me to do it without supervision?

[ Awkward. ]

[motorcycle_noises]

You seem like a trustworthy person. I'll leave it to you.

truth me... i wrote truth too many times ig oops TRUST ME

[assent]

Thank you very much. [ She smiles at him. ] Would you like truth or dare this time?

It's okay, I figured that's what you meant

[motorcycle_noises]

I'll take truth again.

cries

[assent]

Truth? Very well. Is there anyone here that has caught your eye?

[ Not a top ten but a top one. ]

pat pat pat

[motorcycle_noises]

Um... If there's one person, I'd say it's Sudoh.

[assent]

[ She pauses... He said he had a motorcycle, right? And he has a leather jacket. She's very much going by a stereotype here, but... ]

Um... if you do not mind me asking, do you play guitar?

[motorcycle_noises]

Me? Yes, I do. Why do you ask?

[ It's a stereotype for a reason. ]

[assent]

[ Well, it's probably??? A surprise for him so she doesn't say exactly. ]

Sudoh-san mentioned a "friend" who liked guitar when we were on our date, that is all.

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Yeah, he has no idea. ]

Oh... Yeah, that was probably me.
