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!

Well how about you, huh? You want a truth, or a dare?

[motorcycle_noises]

I'll take a dare this time.

[flamingprick]

I dare you to wear your shirt inside-out until someone notices it and asks you about it.

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Tatsuya looks down at his jacket. ]

I should probably leave this unzipped if I'm going to do that.

[ Tatsuya unzips the red motorcycle leather jacket, revealing a black T-shirt underneath. ]

Can you hold this for a second?

[ He holds out his jacket. ]

[flamingprick]

Sure.

[He holds onto the jacket for Tatsuya.]

[motorcycle_noises]

Thanks.

[ Tatsuya takes his shirt off— he's got some decent lean muscle going on, though if Rin catches sight of his back, he might notice an old but gnarly-looking scar on the right side. Tatsuya flips his shirt inside-out, then puts it back on before taking his jacket back, leaving it unzipped. ]

There we go.

[flamingprick]

[Rin definitely notices the scar, and he knows he shouldn't ask, but-]

That's a pretty big scar.

[Welp.]

[motorcycle_noises]

Yeah, I got that when I was a kid.

[ You know, nbd. ]

[flamingprick]

Oh.

[YYYEP HE REALLY SHOULDN'T ASK-]

Bike accident or something?

[motorcycle_noises]

I got trapped in a shrine with a friend one day.... That night, a local serial arsonist set the place on fire. While my friend and I were trying to escape, he....

[ Rin can fill in the rest probably. ]

[flamingprick]

[OH NO]

aah, shit, sorry! I didn't mean to bring up bad memories.

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Tatsuya shakes his head. ]

You didn't know.

[flamingprick]

Still, I'm sorry.

[Tatsuya will get apology-food later.]

We, um. We can keep going on with the game if you want?

[So Tatsuya can forget about the conversation they just had.]

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Awww. He'll appreciate that. ]

I'd like to keep going. Truth or dare?

[flamingprick]

Alright, give me a question then. Truth.

[motorcycle_noises]

What do you think you'll miss about this place when everything's said and done?

[flamingprick]

The people, definitely. Everyone here is...I dunno, friendly? Fun to hang out with? There's not really anyone here I dislike.

[motorcycle_noises]

That does make it nicer.

[flamingprick]

Yeah. Last time I was here, half the people had rotten personalities. Which was worse because people kept dying and it was hard to know who to trust.

[motorcycle_noises]

That... that would make things significantly harder.

[flamingprick]

...someone I trusted killed someone.

[He's not going to name names, since that person is here too and he doesn't want to cause trouble for them, but.]

It was...that one was the worst, I think. I trusted him with my life, you know? And then he went and killed someone. He almost got away with it too!

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Tatsuya actually assumes that person ISN'T here because why NOT warn about a murderer? ]

I can't imagine that kind of betrayal... Are you okay?

[flamingprick]

[hahahahHAHAHAHA]

Yeah, I think so. It's just...not everything's as black and white as you think, you know?

[motorcycle_noises]

It never is, and anyone who thinks otherwise is fooling themselves.

[flamingprick]

[It's actually pretty refreshing to know Tatsuya thinks that.]

Yeah...

But it's your turn, isn't it? Truth or dare?
