vigilantics | week 4, thursday

[ TWO THIRDS?!?!?! ]

... Why are we doing this, again?

[ unsurprisingly, Hikage looks... less than thrilled about these arrangements, even if he does enjoy Belph's company. ]

Because I invited Shirasu, and it would be rude to leave Belph out? It gets very lonely when you're left out of a sleepover.

[ a. pointed look at hikage. ]

And it'll be nice to spend a Thursday night doing something fun, instead...

[ of wondering if someone is currently getting murdered. hm. ]

[sits on the bed like he owns the place.]

So, what's the plan for the night?

I believe that's up to our gracious hosts.

[he'll take a seat along with belph, glancing between the two of them.]

This isn't what you would consider a date, is it?

[ Hikage is not on the bed. That said, he's already feeling vaguely annoyed that both of them just sat on it. He sleeps there... ]

Obviously not. You can't have a date with four people.

[ although that makes him remember what Shirasu said earlier... his gaze drifts from him to Steph as the wrinkle in his brow deepens. ]

I mean, technically you can? Those are called double dates.

[ or... poly dates... but she is fairly certain half the people in this room won't understand what that means and this is potentially not the best time to explain. ]

We can play a game though!

[sorry, hikage. belph is a rude butt...

also, he'll fill in for steph, because what is timing.]

Or polygamy.

[anyway.]

Yeah, games are what really make a sleepover, right?

[hikage slept on their bed. :/ it's fair...

at least he's not going to ask about polygamy, because that seems like a bad idea whether he knows what it is or not and I'm not googling that this early.]

Are they? You should have said so last time.

[a slight smile, there. yeah he's pretty sure that sleepover was not the time.]

Just what sort of games are you meant to play, then?

[ is it... :\

Hikage just wrinkles his nose at the suggestion of polygamy - he knows what that is, but he's not partaking, thank you!! ]

Games...?

[ he can't answer that, either, so he looks back over to Steph and Belph. ]

[ well, she cannot suggest never have i ever with these guys because she has a feeling she'd be the only person in this room saying yes to the usual questions and that would potentially be very embarrassing. ]

Truth or dare?

Ah, a classic.

[spoilers belph has never actually had a sleepover before, but.]

I think Hikage might die over that one, though.

Do you think so? I'm not familiar enough with it to say...

[the truth part does not sound ideal tbh.]

Is it one you're familiar with, Hikage?

[ he shakes his head. ]

I've never heard of it. [ a beat. ] ... I already died once. Do your worst.

[ hikage's response is the funniest thing she has ever heard in her life and she has to force herself not to laugh.

but also, oocly, francy is not entirely sure how this would work with a tag order and i realized this after tagging this thread. ]

Other popular games include things like spin the bottle, which we aren't doing, seven minutes in heaven, which we also aren't doing, never have I ever, which... we could do, I guess.

[belph, likewise, has to stifle a laugh at hikage's reply.]

Well, I'm always in favour of anything that provides an excuse to drink.

[the answer is you just yolo and fuck up tag order, source: have done four way truth or dare in exactly that fashion]

I doubt any of these games are meant to kill.

[hikage please... but also he is unfamiliar with the rest of those, please help your ye oldes. steph gets a patiently confused look at that list, though it breaks into a wry smile at belph's response.]

Are you sure we should bring alcohol into the equation, though?

[ yolo is indeed the only way. also, hikage was trying to be funny, so it worked...?! except nobody actually laughed. ]

It was a joke, [ he mutters offhandedly in Shirasu's direction, but continues. ] I thought she said we weren't playing the bottle one, anyway. Just pick one, Stephanie.

[ the "it was a joke" actually makes her laugh, i'm sorry.

and then she laughs again at the bottle comment. steph loves all of you guys who don't know what the internet is... bless. ]

Okay, okay. I'll explain the different rules for each and you guys pick which is more appealing? Truth or dare is basically what it says on the tin-- you're asked to choose between the two. If you pick truth, the person asks you a question and you answer honestly. If it's dare, you have to do some action that the person tells you to do. You get a punishment if you refuse to answer or do the dare.

For never have I ever, a lot of the time it's played with alcohol but you can do it without? Someone has to go, "Never have I ever... done insert a thing here." If you have actually done the thing, then you need to take a drink. Easy enough, right?

[ she does not explain the other games she mentioned because she would rather die considering who is in this room. ]

[excuse, shirasu, alcohols should always be a part of the equation.]

Well, whichever one we do, this should be entertaining...

[namely because of the people involved.]

[what are the other games steph :/

he's not asking, though, if they're already off the table-- that's a question for later. instead he considers the explanations for a few moments.]

...of the two, I personally think the first sounds more interesting.

[watch him as he never picks truth, probably,]

... Are these supposed to be fun? They sound...

[ stupid? embarrassing? like a recipe for disaster? all of the above? Hikage can't decide, so he just wrinkles his nose, shrugging his shoulders slightly.

But he's not getting out of this, and he knows it. ]

Whatever. I agree with him, [ he says, jabbing a thumb in Shirasu's direction. ]

Perfect! [ she is ignoring hikage's distaste because honestly she expected it. it's fine. hikage is just like this. ] So I'll allow our guests to start us off.

Belph... go.

Making me do the work? Fine—let's have you as an example for the other two, Steph. Truth or dare?

[ HMMmmmmMmmmm she even taps her chin. ]

Dare,

Hmm.

[he looks over at shirasu and hikage.]

So, what do you think I should dare her to do?
