Trash Squad Day 11 - SECRETS

[chinhotta]

Are you ready for it?! It's the long awaited final event! This is your last chance to get close before your final dates and the final bonus event!

And, back by popular demand, it's the motive vi—wait, no, not that. Well, I guess you're motivated to build your relationships? That's better anyway.

...Anyway! Check your tablets! You will find you have a few interesting video files! They should be familiar to you! The catch is... if you don't share each one with a different person by nighttime today, they will all be shown to everyone here! We'll have a fun midnight viewing party!

This may seem a bit cruel, but... love is cruel sometimes. Take it as an opportunity to get a bit closer to the people you care about, or everyone will learn a bit more about you! It's win-win when you think about it that way!

[ On your tablets are a minimum of 3 video files! There is no maximum; it's however many you OOCly want to deal with. Each video contains some sort of secret your character has—'secret' loosely defined as anything they would be uncomfortable being thrown up on a big screen in the auditorium in front of everyone. The presentation can be as simple as lines of text with embarrassing facts (Alice wet the bed until she was in junior high!) or as involved as a dramatically edited montage of the murders they committed through their whole life. Your choice!

Each file should be shown to a different person to count as 'shared'. If there is anything they do not manage to, or choose not to, share with someone in particular, comment with a brief description of it over here. These will all be shared publicly in a post which goes up on Thursday before the date announcement post. ]

[and then the video ends, and yusuke blinks, and quickly withdraws his hand.

...

hey. hey, say something.]











You have excellent taste, I must say.

[truthstranger]

[So the thing about having been staring the opposite direction is that Shuichi notices neither Yusuke reaching for his sketchbook or any of his other reactions, other than the quiet noise. for better or worse.

He looks back when it seems like it's over, though.]

A-Ah... th-thank you?

[artisticliberty]

Would you object if I watched it again? Just for reference.

[might, be reaching, for his sketchbook again,,,,]

[truthstranger]

For—

[???????? ////////////]

W-What are you referencing?!

[artisticliberty]

You conjured up some impressive anatomical positions in that fantasy, and I would be very grateful if you would allow me to replicate them.

On paper.

[truthstranger]

[On the one hand, this is almost certainly the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to him, possibly even beating out that time everyone had to tease him about getting laid for his alibi.

On the other... hand... at least it's a positive reaction? Yusuke could be disgusted or angry.

Also the idea of Yusuke rewatching his fantasies and sketching them down permanently is kind of hot. Just a little. In addition to being mortifying.]

A...Ah... Um... i-if you really want to.

But you can't tell anyone where it came from!

[artisticliberty]

Rest assured, the individual details should not identify anyone. I'm more interested in the broader strokes, so to speak.

[he opens his sketchbook and replays the video, watching closely and doing some quick sketches]

Hmhmhm... I must admit, I am surprised.

[truthstranger]

[he doesn't look completely away this time, but even watching the video peripherally while Yusuke sketches makes his face heat]

...About... which part?

[artisticliberty]

Not the individual parts. Akechi, of course, makes sense. I can understand your attraction to Akira and Sonia, too. I... am somewhat perplexed about my presence, but I accept it. Rather, the vast spectrum of fantasies and individuals involved is what surprises me. It is a wonder you can think straight.

[truthstranger]

It's not like I think about it all the time!

[Definitely above that time everyone teased him about getting laid for his alibi.]

[artisticliberty]

[chuckles]

Who could blame you, if you did? These are rich fantasies, indeed.

[truthstranger]

Mmmmnnn...

[this is not a conversation he's prepared to have]

It's not like... those are all things I sit around thinking about at all. It's more like... you know, sometimes someone does something, and you're really attracted to them, for that moment... and then your mind turns it up later while you're sleeping and... builds something around it.

[artisticliberty]

Oh, yes. I have those, too. Though I usually imagine them posing for a nude portrait.

[truthstranger]

...I see... well, it's like that, I guess.

[artisticliberty]

You possess a great deal of eros, as the Greeks would say.

[truthstranger]

That's... an elegant way of putting it...

[artisticliberty]

But nevertheless true. Do not be ashamed of your desires, Saihara. Desire is a hallmark of the human experience.

[truthstranger]

I... suppose. It's not that I'm ashamed, exactly... it's just not something I ever planned on sharing with anyone.

[artisticliberty]

Fantasies often are kept to one's mind... I apologize if I've made you uncomfortable.

[truthstranger]

...Mm... it's fine. I appreciate you not judging me for it. And I'm glad if it didn't make you uncomfortable...

[artisticliberty]

No, although some of these images will be on my mind for a while. I hope you'll forgive me for that.

[yusuke is blushing a little, a rare sight on him]

[truthstranger]

That's... ah.

[for a moment he assumes Yusuke means that negatively, even though his tone doesn't really sound like it, but then he notices his blush and reassesses]

...a-also... fine...

[artisticliberty]

[focuses on those quick sketches while he watches, and then hands the tablet back to shuichi when it's done]

Thank you.

[truthstranger]

[he takes it back, an unreadable expression on his face as he continues to try to decide how he feels about... this entire sequence of events]

No problem?

[artisticliberty]

And...

[he tucks some hair behind his ear, which just falls back in place immediately]

I will not reveal anything I've seen to anyone else. I promise. So please, rest assured.
