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 just gonna come sit in her lap for a minute.]

My lightsaber? Well, I suppose as long as you are very careful - it is a weapon and dangerously awful.

Also, you cannot leave my sight while you are in possession of it - I have lost it before and it was a very... inconvenient and upsetting bit.

Do you agree to these terms? I cannot let you hold it unless your agreement is firm.

[Yeah, she has asked for one too many dares tonight.]

Why are you sitting on me?

[she's very small, bastila, this isn't going to work well]

Sure, okay. I know it's a weapon but it's weird and it glows.

[Bastila stands up and hands over the lightsaber.]

Yeah, it was for a dare. Please do not be scared.

I also have to speak only in rhymes. I might have taken on too many dares this time.

I'm not scared, just confused...

[Bastila goes to sit in the chair right across from Enna.]

I guess that is within the rules of the game. Thank you.

You still have not answered my other question. Truth or dare?

Dare!

[it's easier than telling the truth.]

[Bastila thinks for a moment. This has to be a good one.]

Okay, I want you to go up to anyone here, besides me, pinch them at least three times, and say 'mini hugs!'

[She just. Confused caw?]

I'll do it, but I don't get it....

They are soft pinches, so they are miniature hugs. Does that make more sense?

[Bastila may not be explaining this well. She only recently learned about them.]
