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.]

no subject
She... very clearly has no idea what she's doing, but she likes this enough to put that aside and try.]
no subject
[Even with her mask, they'll both have to come up for air eventually. But... maybe not just yet.]
[Just now, this is all that matters. How often has Lily been told, has she told herself, that she didn't matter, that other people were the only thing that counted?]
[Too often, Jail's pretty sure. So even if it can't make up for that, just now she's going to kiss Lily like she deserves, like she's the only person out there in the whole entire world. Everyone deserves to feel that way, at least once. And Lily's earned a lot more than that.]
no subject
But still... She likes this. Some part of her, some deeply repressed part, wants more, craves this, craves to feel like she matters.
It's awkward. Clumsy. Her nose bumps Jail's mask a couple times. But by the time she has to break it off to let them breathe, she's breathless and flushed.]
... Wow...
[yeah that's. that's all she's got now.]
no subject
[Jail agrees, smiling softly. It's a strange expression for her, but maybe... not a bad one? More gentle than her usual grin and unfamiliar on her face, still not quite able to believe that just happened.]
[But she wouldn't mind being convinced.]
no subject
[words. words are hard. how is she supposed to words at a time like this?]
... What... does this mean...? For us?
no subject
I dunno. Think maybe we're gonna have to spend some time figuring that one out.
[She looks at Lily at her expression is... surprisingly vulnerable for a moment, hesitant. It's a far cry from her usual recklessness- but Jail's never been afraid to put her life and limb at risk. This? This could actually hurt her, and she knows it.]
Know I wanna do this again. That I wanna be with you, and stay with you, and make you happy. See if we can make each other happy, and figure out how all this dating shit works.
Is that... something you want, too?
no subject
[That vulnerable expression catches her off-guard. She's not sure what to do. How to handle this. But... She knows one thing.]
I want... you to be happy. More than anything... I want to make you happy. And I'm... willing to try to learn... to figure all this out...
[She's growing steadily redder and redder, but.]
So... Yes?
no subject
[She can think of worse fates.]
Probably oughtta ask this all proper, think that's how people do it, so:
You wanna go on a date with me?
[Oh sure, make out with her and then remember to ask.]
no subject
Yes. Yes I would.
[help her]
no subject
[Jail's grinning like a dork and she's not even sorry.]
I'm free tomorrow night if you are, we can meet up in the common room? Think I can come up with a couple fun things for us to do 'round here. ...Not the euphemism kinda fun things, but we can totally do those too if you want.
[Well, that was almost a normal attempt at asking a girl out, at least.]
