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.]
nojohnyouare: Feeling self-conscious. (you are the nighttime fear)

You deserve that. After how hard you work.

[ She laughs and shakes her head. ]

I wouldn't say I work that much harder than anybody else.
nojohnyouare: Actually smiling, with flowers. (out loud)

But they all depend on you.
serrata: (Oh if I were a zombie)

... They do?
nojohnyouare: Inspecting a piece of sushi. (you are the silence in between)

[personal profile] nojohnyouare 2018-10-01 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
Because you're dependable. And dedicated. ...Is it wrong?
serrata: (r073)

[personal profile] serrata 2018-10-02 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)
N–no, if you say so, then it mustn't be wrong, but...

[ But it feels odd, in a way she can't put her finger on, to be the dependable one again. Not quite Rii-san, everyone's reliable big sister, but... close.

She misses Yuki, suddenly and sharply, in a way she hasn't in quite some time. ]


It just makes me worry.
nojohnyouare: Full-body shot in the hall. (i need to make it right)

[personal profile] nojohnyouare 2018-10-03 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
Don't worry. We'll take care of you, too. I promise this time.
serrata: (18 - sj2UQYO)

[personal profile] serrata 2018-10-03 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I... it's not that I'm worried about.

[ Or maybe it is, in the back of her mind somewhere, but it's not her main concern. ]

It just makes me worry what might happen if I go back home without everyone. If they're all relying on me, then...
nojohnyouare: Ignoring Makoto being an idiot. (take me high and i'll sing)

[personal profile] nojohnyouare 2018-10-04 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
...We'll make it. Because we all protect each other. You're strong and brave. But it doesn't have to be just you. We fight for your sake, too.

Thank you.
