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]

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.

[wagashis]

... I see.

[he does not. he still feels ridiculous.

but he's moving on, he'll ask about that later.]

Hikage, it's your turn to choose.

[psychedelica]

[ it looks about as silly on him as it did on Steph, honestly. Hikage snorts. ]

Maybe they're her favorite animal. [ weird choice but okay. ] ... Do I ask Belph again?

[vigilantics]

[ she just makes a face. rude!! ]

Hmm... you could ask someone else, if you want.

[axilium]

[he just smiles at steph and shirasu's antics, before turning to hikage.]

I think he's asking whether Hikage's picking truth or dare. No skipping your turn, Hikage.

[wagashis]

That's right. A good effort at passing, but I'm afraid you're not getting out of the game that easily.

[pick your poison, buddy.]

[psychedelica]

[ BELPH!!! HE THOUGHT YOU WAS A HOMIE!!! DON'T CALL HIM OUT. He gives him a look of betrayal. ]

He didn't ask me anything...! [ huff. ] Fine. Then... truth again.

[ this is... probably safer. probably. ]

[wagashis]

[is it really safer, though.]

Have you not noticed anything strange this week? Not counting the lack of death, naturally.

[he's just gotta confirm]

[psychedelica]

[ his eyes become a little sharper, expression more serious. ]

This feels like a trick question. If you know something, then just tell us.

[wagashis]

It's not a trick question at all. I'm only curious.

[this is innocent??]

[psychedelica]

... We all got forced to go to a dance. Stephanie didn't break any more bones. Other than that, everything's as weird as it usually is.

[vigilantics]

I don't know whether to be insulted or flattered right now.

[ hikage you moron ]

[wagashis]

Do you have to pick one?

[just go with both.

but good to know this has apparently been business as usual... hm!!]

I think that answer will do, though. You can continue.

[psychedelica]

[ Hikage arches a brow, clearly not understanding what just happened. Bless his heart. ]

Whatever. [ Belph!! You're up to bat. He turns to him. ] Your turn.

[axilium]

[belph stifles a laugh.]

T-Truth.
