say or do

Who: everyone's invited, everyone
What: Truth or Dare!
When: Evening of August 25
Where: Keystone Rise common room
Warnings: nothing expected? there are children here

[Friday morning a network post appears which reads:]

For the enjoyment of all, and that we may come to know each other more closely, you are cordially invited to the Keystone Rise common room this evening at seven o'clock for refreshments and the classic party game "Truth or Dare." Everyone will be welcome, regardless of age.

[As promised, residents arriving in the common room will find a table with an assortment of food and drink laid out. (Don't worry, Yuuri helped with the food, so it's not just the candy aisle. Be sure to thank Goro for the drinks later.) Arianna's also brought in an assortment of couches (which she apparently carried???) and extra chairs, a few of which are those slightly uncomfortable bank chairs Arianna seems to like for some reason.

The lady herself waits by the entrance, greeting everyone who comes in, until it looks like her guests are done arriving. Then she gets up on a chair to speak.]


Good evening, everyone, and welcome.

I presume many of you are familiar with the game we are to play tonight. For those who are not, it is simple. We'll draw lots to determine the play order, and then each player will ask the next "truth or dare?" If the other player responds with "truth," you may ask them a question which they must answer truthfully. If they instead say "dare," you may instead give them a command they must obey. Once all players have taken a turn, we'll play a second around, and continue for as long as you are interested.

Now, there are of course several rules. While embarrassing other players is arguably an intended goal of the game, making them uncomfortable is not, and if that is the effect of your truth or dare I must ask that you change it. Moreover, please keep in mind your respective ages and those of your audience, and do nothing that the rest of us would find inappropriate in that regard.

If all this is understood, then without further ado, let us begin.

[OOC: So how this actually works is, you post a toplevel and other people respond to it. ICly the assignments are random like Arianna says, but OOCly you can just tag whoever you want, go back and forth, etc. And as she mentioned, there are children here, so try to behave appropriately.

I'll be ripping off Nai's format and posting toplevels for responding to Arianna's network post and for pregame chatter. Non-ToD threads should go under one of those.]

[Bastila is usually sure of herself, but she cannot figure Pidonus out. Pidonus has no doubts, but something is off. It is almost like she can sense danger in her return to her queen.]

Loyalty is admirable, as long as it is not misplaced. What is your queen like?

I should not speak, so as not to reveal her secrets, sorry.

[Considering what she's said before, the Queen's very much not a nice figure, though...]

[Bastila considers that. She is concerned for Pidonus, but says simply...]

I understand. Perhaps we should call it a night, it is getting late. Of course, we could see if there are any desserts left.

[Bastila is not tired. However, she is trained in diplomacy, so she is offering a change of topic and a way out of the conversation entirely.]
have_hat_will_travel: (Huhwhat?)

[Pidonus blinks, but...]

The night seems young to me, but I also kinda don't have to deal with a sleep schedule when I don't use my abilities much.

[Bastila smiles.]

Alright, then. I am not very tired either, and I could go for some chocolate.

[She walks towards the dessert table. There is coffee and hot chocolate and brownies and cookies and cakes and ice cream and so many sweet things it could give you diabetes just looking at it all.]
