week 4, thursday

[vigilantics]

[ in hindsight, deciding to host a sleepover when 2/3 of the people here is someone you kissed is a little #awkward but like. it's fine? she's going to make this work.

so, when everyone is here, stephanie will gesture wildly at the room from her spot on the bed. ]

Hellooo! Welcome to our humble abode.

Comments

[psychedelica]

[ he shakes his head. ]

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

[vigilantics]

[ 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.

[axilium]

[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.

[wagashis]

[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?

[psychedelica]

[ 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.

[vigilantics]

[ 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. ]

[axilium]

[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.]

[wagashis]

[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,]

[psychedelica]

... 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. ]

[vigilantics]

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.

[axilium]

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

[vigilantics]

[ HMMmmmmMmmmm she even taps her chin. ]

Dare,

[axilium]

Hmm.

[he looks over at shirasu and hikage.]

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

[psychedelica]

[ stephanie has learned how to deal with him properly ]

Can we dare her to not get injured for a week?

[wagashis]

[-sorry, steph, he's trying not to laugh.]

That doesn't sound like a bad place to start, actually.

[vigilantics]

[ ]

[axilium]

... Well, the audience has spoken. Steph, I dare you not to get injured for a week.

[wagashis]

She has already gone most of a week without doing so-- shall we count that?

[psychedelica]

Oh, that's a good point. Good job, Stephanie.

[ it sounds slightly condescending... ]

[vigilantics]

[ her expression makes it clear that she is like two seconds away from throwing something, but the moment passes, mostly because she can't decide who to attack with a pillow. ]

Shirasu. Truth or dare?

[wagashis]

[steph you put them all in one room...

but he considers for a moment, before-]

I'll take the same option. Dare me.

[vigilantics]

I dare you to...

[ hm. ]

Take Belph's hand and tell him you love him.

[psychedelica]

[ he is not involved in this one, but watch the color drain from his face as he realizes the true, evil nature of this game....... he must never pick dare ]

[axilium]

[...]

Wow. You really are vengeful, Steph.

[vigilantics]

I don't know what you're talking about.

[ she knows. ]
