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.]

You did it, so the dare is done, so you can stop.
nojohnyouare: Contemplating. (some kind of resolution)

[personal profile] nojohnyouare 2018-09-22 07:55 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Maybe it's been half an hour. I don't know.

[She relaxes, gives a small frown, and then returns to the blank expression Enna saw her with before.]

...Thank you for worrying.

[personal profile] nocawsforconcern 2018-09-22 07:58 am (UTC)(link)
For a whole half hour...? Anyone's face would get tired holding a face for that long!

[She pouts.]

... Um, does that mean it's my turn next? Do I have to pick truth or dare now?
nojohnyouare: Opening a door. (mayday mayday)

[personal profile] nojohnyouare 2018-09-22 08:10 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. Truth or dare.
nocawsforconcern: (pic#12521252)

[personal profile] nocawsforconcern 2018-09-22 08:11 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmm.... Hm. Hm! I pick dare? I don't mind either. So dare.
nojohnyouare: Passively having her arms held up. (i just can't have tonight)

[personal profile] nojohnyouare 2018-09-22 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
...[think...] Put salt in your drink and drink it.
nocawsforconcern: (pic#12521253)

[personal profile] nocawsforconcern 2018-09-22 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
... You want me to drink saltwater?
nojohnyouare: Even her clothes look like Clarith's. (the ship is slowly sinking)

[personal profile] nojohnyouare 2018-09-23 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
Or salt pop. Salt milk? Gross.
nocawsforconcern: (pic#12521254)

[personal profile] nocawsforconcern 2018-09-23 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
Super gross.

[She just. sprinkles some salt in her water, chugs it, and makes a face.]

I need grog now.
nojohnyouare: In denial. (you're my heart)

[personal profile] nojohnyouare 2018-09-23 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
Do we even have that.
nocawsforconcern: (pic#12521246)

[personal profile] nocawsforconcern 2018-09-23 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll even take non-salty water...
nojohnyouare: Reaching for snowflakes. (but they don't know the feeling)

[personal profile] nojohnyouare 2018-09-24 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Mai passes the nearest unclaimed beverage that isn't a Dr. Jalapeno.]

Here.

[GRABS IT, STARTS DRINKING




nearly spits it out but manages to swallow.]


Salty aftertaste!
nojohnyouare: Happily eating. (to sing it to a crowd)

[personal profile] nojohnyouare 2018-09-25 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[Mai just pats Enna's head.]
nocawsforconcern: (pic#12521246)

[personal profile] nocawsforconcern 2018-09-26 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
I'm tired of salt... Salted meat, salted vegetables, salted biscuits...
nojohnyouare: Inspecting a piece of sushi. (you are the silence in between)

[personal profile] nojohnyouare 2018-09-26 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Preserved. Army?
nocawsforconcern: (pic#12521247)

[personal profile] nocawsforconcern 2018-09-26 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
What? No. I'm a ship's captain.
nojohnyouare: Confused. (you are the morning)

[personal profile] nojohnyouare 2018-09-27 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. So you still need to eat preserved things. Sorry. Technology levels.
nocawsforconcern: (pic#12521246)

[personal profile] nocawsforconcern 2018-09-27 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
Are you saying in the future sailors don't have to eat salty things?
nojohnyouare: In denial. (you're my heart)

[personal profile] nojohnyouare 2018-09-27 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Sometimes. I think it depends. Though I haven't seen something like the food supply here, which doesn't go bad after months. ...Though the peas did get freezerburned.
