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

[axilium]

[...]

I mean.

Yes and no?

[wagashis]

I'm not certain that counts as a proper answer.

[he sounds a little amused, there.]

[axilium]

I'm a complicated guy.

[vigilantics]

[ she's trying not to laugh. ]

It seems like it.

[psychedelica]

You're just cagey. Yes or no.

[ HE HAD TO ANSWER YES, YOU GOTTA DO IT TOO BELPH!! he's giving him a serious look. ]

[axilium]

Well, yes, but I'm pretty sure I'm not entirely in my right mind at the moment?

[psychedelica]

[ ... ]

We're not even drinking.

[wagashis]

[wait. does hikage not know. has he not been able to tell this is a thing--

he isn't laughing, but he absolutely looks more entertained than he should.]

[axilium]

Maybe I'm always drunk and you just don't know it.

[psychedelica]

No, you'd probably be less of a pain if that was true.

[vigilantics]

[ stephanie is having the same kind of realization as shirasu is and she looks both amused and slightly alarmed.

but mostly amused. ]

[axilium]

[still laughing inside... hikage tried to humiliate him but is really just humiliating himself—]

That's very hurtful, Hikage.

[wagashis]

[he looks like he wants to ask--

but nah, saving that for a truth question.]

He would be a pain either way, you know.

[not that he sounds like he minds.]

[psychedelica]

[ poor hikage ]

That's why I said "less." Sake won't fix your bad personality.

[axilium]

Well, you're not wrong. It's a permanent part of me.

Anyway, truth or dare, Steph?

[vigilantics]

Hmmm... dare again.

[ she's not a coward. ]

[axilium]

[...]

Hold hands with Hikage. And you can't let go until Shirasu and I do.

[wagashis]

[did it REALLY need that last part, belph,]

[vigilantics]

[ yea ]

Hikage. Get on the bed.

[ he never sat down and she's not going to goddamn lean over the edge to reach him. ]

[psychedelica]

Wha...

[ why does he need to be dragged into this, too!! he thought he was off the hook for a little while. The blush that had barely left his face comes back; grumbling, he pushes himself up out of his chair, then plops himself down next to Steph, offering her his hand while looking less than amused.

Also, why is he the only one who's embarrassed by this stuff? This was a mistake!! ]

This is stupid...

[vigilantics]

[ because you haven't figured out what embarrasses steph yet :/

but she will happily take his hand, and even uses her free hand to gesture at it, as if belph needed the extra reassurance that the dare was completed. ]

Great! Shirasu. Truth or dare?

[ she's ignoring hikage's complaint. ]

[wagashis]

Perhaps you just need to play the game a bit better.

[or react less, honestly.

but in response to steph:]

I'll take another dare.

[he's not a coward either. :/]

[vigilantics]

[ git gud hikage ]

I dare you to...

[ hm. this is going to be slightly awkward since she's holding onto hikage, but she's going to reach over to open a drawer that's next to the bed. it'll... probably be easier to temporarily let go and then go back to hand holding. whatever. she pulls out her batgirl cape and mask. ]

Put this on and say, "I'm Batgirl." And then don't take it off. You can wear the cowl as a hat.

[ since it would probably be annoying to put it over his burns. she's nice. :/ ]

[wagashis]

[first of all, how dare you do this to me with a ye olde who can't do a stupid deep voice with it for the I'M BATMAN joke? can't believe this shit francy.

but he's just looking at the cape and mask in confusion for a moment... why...

he takes them though, and he is definitely going to just wear the cowl part as a hat. he's had to have something over the bandages once this week, thanks.

and, in a very weary tone:] I'm... Batgirl. --is that really what you call yourself? I don't see the need for the bat theme.

[like, you can just fight criminals as yourself? what is the deal here. this feels ridiculous.]

[vigilantics]

[ she looks delighted?? at this??

when he makes the bat theme comment though, she'll pout slightly. ]

It's special.
