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.

[belph stifles a laugh.]

T-Truth.

[psychedelica]

Is there something strange other than what I said going on this week?

[ taking advantage of his current position here. ]

[axilium]

Are you reaaaaaally sure you want to know the answer to that question?

[wagashis]

[god, his poker face skills are getting a workout tonight]

[psychedelica]

Just answer it before I change my mind. You should be grateful I asked you something impersonal.

[axilium]

Are you absolutely, positively, completely sure?

[vigilantics]

[ and you guys called her mean :/ ]

[psychedelica]

[ the flattest look. Then: ]

Fine. Is that a wig? You look ridiculous.

[axilium]

You wear a vampire cloak.

[just saying.]

Anyway, to answer your actual question... there seems to be a compulsion that makes you want to hold your partner's hand. Very unusual.

[wagashis]

[he nods-- yeah, definitely a thing.]

Did you think this was just something we normally do?

[psychedelica]

You got dared to do it.

[ it doesn't count?! Still, Hikage seems slightly puzzled by this revelation. He didn't notice anything out of the ordinary . . . ]

... Just get on with it.

[axilium]

... I really don't know what to tell you, man.

[vigilantics]

[ COVERS HER FACE WITH HER FREE HAND. ]

[wagashis]

Just count yourself lucky to feel relatively unaffected.

[at least steph seems to know so maybe she'll tell him. shirasu's not taking that on right now.]

[psychedelica]

... Anyway, let's move on.

[ he knows what you guys are getting at he's just NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT RIGHT NOW... ]

[axilium]

[fine, he'll let hikage live.]

Truth or dare, Steph?

[vigilantics]

[ rip hikage ]

Truth!

[ even though it feels like the more dangerous of the two options in this current climate. ]

[axilium]

[ :) ]

Would you go on a date with your partner?

[vigilantics]

[ she looks over at hikage. ]

Hm. Yeah.

[psychedelica]

[ "he'll let hikage live" THIS WAS A LIE ]

... Stop it.

[vigilantics]

I'm just answering the question.

[ she would?? ]

[wagashis]

They're enjoyable enough. You should at least consider it.

[you know, like he said before?]

[psychedelica]

If you want my attention that badly, I'll give it to you. Just not with these two around.

[axilium]

Oh.

Are Shirasu and I getting in the way?

[vigilantics]

[ she... actually looks flustered now..... ]

What did I do to deserve this...

[ steph, that's your outside voice, not your inner monologue. ]
