everybody, put your hands up; yes, flying – imagine it like that!

[shuttermouse]

[ You know what this murderschool needs? Party games. She talked about it with Tarrlok during the afterparty and today's the day she's going to host a game of truth or dare. After that unpleasant little motive, she's sure a lot of people are going to appreciate a distraction. She's a little too old for this, but watching each other perform stupid dares should be entertaining.

So during the day, she writes a bunch of notes and slides them under everyone's doors. One also goes up on the fridge. ]

Are you looking for a distraction after yesterday's incentive? Are you just bored?
Come to the dining hall at 6 pm today!
There will be food and we'll be playing truth or dare!
- Chie Hori

[ As promised, there's food! The main attraction here is the build-your-own-parfait bar, but there's a nice assortment of other things too - yakitori made by Kyrie, Fern's mac and cheese, Sayaka's curry, plus a tea/coffee bar courtesy of Weiss. There's also a few bottles of booze Chie grabbed from the bar. Drink responsibly, please.

Have fun playing truth or dare, everyone! Remember, you can refuse a truth or a dare if you want to, but then you'll have to drink one of the shots of hot sauce Chie has prepared. Unless you're being asked to reveal what's in your envelope, then you can refuse without punishment. ]

[bloodisthicker]

[Look. He encouraged this. He should be there. En...joying.

...he's definitely eyeing those drinks as he digs into some yakitori, debating whether he should risk saying something really stupid or... you know... chill a little bit.

Hm. Decisions, decisions.]

[shuttermouse]

Hi, Tarrlok-san. [ hey buddy it's your favourite host. ] Truth or dare?

[bloodbiter]

[She speaks to a few other people before she notices him in the crowd, but when she does, she walks over to him.]

Hello, Tarrlok. Would you like to play?

[destage]

Tarrlok-san! I have a question for you, if you have a moment.

[She is here due to a dare, let's do this.]

[icysemblance]

[Weiss is decidedly not too old for this, even if she's pretending to be entirely too busy fussing over the tea and coffee to actually play.

...she's not going to refuse, though, unless it's something simply too embarrassing.]

[destage]

[Hey there, Weiss, hopefully you don't mind some company.]

...Weiss-san, if you keep fussing over the set so much, they're going to think you're not done with it.

[It's gentle, at least. It's a bit of a quiet invitation, if needed, to have someone for a distraction.]

[bloodbiter]

[When she sees Weiss looking over the beverages, she wanders over, standing next to her.]

Is everything quite alright?

[firstaid]

[Well, Estelle's here because she just wants to do something other than stay holed up in her room or more failed attempts at reading so... here we are. Once they're settled she'll just get this game started because it will be another interesting and hopefully fun way to get to know others.]

Um, so I suppose I'll start! Truth or dare?

[destage]

Let's start with a truth, Estelle-san.

[what's the worst estelle could possibly ask--]

[notaccurate]

[Okay. Estelle is a sweet, kind young girl. So, totally not the kind of person who would take advantage of this situation. Luca decides that makes her a good candidate for easing into this 'game'.]

Truth.

[icysemblance]

Okay, truth, then.

[Sayaka finally got Weiss to stop messing with the coffee bar and socialize.]

[greenmamabear]

[Fern is one hundred percent grabbing some liquor to get some liquid courage for this hot mess. Not that she hates the idea, just... high school, amirite?

In any case, she'll be wallflowering, watching the others, smiling and lifting up her glass at passerby, and generally enjoying what she considers kind of absurd. But its fun.]

[destage]

Hey, Fern-san!

[Like heck is she gonna let you wallflower, girl, she's walking right over.]

Enjoying yourself so far?

[matchbreaker]

So the way this works is that you do whatever I say? Okay, let's do it, truth or dare!

[ ... she's not eating or drinking anything.

As usual. You've never seen her eat anything or drink anything but some isolated waters or teas. ]

[greenmamabear]

Little more complicated than that.

[Yeah you know what. This is actually bugging her.]

...I'll take truth.

[destage]

[...Well, you know. Hopefully no one's gonna try to get people to reveal their secrets here, but she won't necessarily be surprised either way. Still, she helped out, so she may as well stick around and enjoy herself, yeah?

She's not going to wallflower, though--she'll be walking around a bit, waving anyone who doesn't look like they'll mind being bothered down with a smile.]

Hi there! Are you up for playing the game, or would you like to chat?

[shuttermouse]

What kind of host would I be if I wasn't up for playing? Truth, Maizono-san.

[evilfrenzy]

[Rideaux is here! He has brought his own alcoholic beverage with him- a direct result of the tension from yesterday's incentive reveal. Like hell is he trusting anything provided by others right now.

He settles down in a spot at the table, generally making himself approachable for the game as it's a pretty decent one. However, he can't help but comment...]

Considering what's inevitably coming, isn't this theme a bit tacky?

[...]

Ah, well. Let's have it, then.

[bloodisthicker]

...in fairness, Chie brought it up to me before that whole mess on Tuesday. So.

[...he regrets a lot right now.]

[didntgetdadslooks]

[ Angel's here! She sticks near the outer edge of the party, since... what the heck is properly socializing, that sounds fake as hell, but she'll smile at anyone who approaches her. ]

Alright, so... you want to just talk, or go right into the options?

[zomgboom]

I mean. We're, like, here for a party, right? Truth or dare?

[bloodbiter]

[Everyone could use a distraction, and Adelina is no exception. Once she enters, she looks to the person who happens to be closest to ask them something.]

I will admit I have never played this before. Is the name of the game self explanatory...?

[She’s definitely going to indulge in the food at some point, too.]

[destage]

It is, Adelina-san. You either ask a question when the person says Truth, or give the person a task when the person says Dare. It's simple enough.

[Sayaka beams.]

Why don't you start off, first, and get a feel for the game? I'll take a truth.

[innocentloveholic]

[ There's a parfait bar and a party, why wouldn't Aligula be here.

She's also bubbly enough despite the awful incentive hanging overhead to go bouncing up to anyone who so much as looks in her direction—hi there, she's ready, she's in something aggressively gothic lolita, this is her life her choices. ]

You can totally start, buuut my answer's gonna totally be dare, so you might as well think of a totally good one! Starting... now!

[ ...yeah. ]

[destage]

Not one for truths, Aligula-san? Well, I suppose I could think of something...

[Sayaka taps her finger against her lip for a moment.]

...I've got one. I dare you to go to the person you believe needs it the most, and give them a makeover. You can go as far as you'd like with it, of course, but it should make them shine just a little bit more.

[She may be passing her a black makeup bag she got from the machine.]

[perpend]

It's been a loooong time since I've done truth or dare!

Go ahead; I won't dodge any questions.

[destage]

Well, if that's the case...then I do have one for you, Cabanela-san.

[Sayaka sounds entirely serious when she speaks. She's got a dare to fulfill.]

Why do seagulls fly over the sea?

[ninehundredlives]

[Susan's sitting off to the side, drinking coffee, but she's also clearly watching the proceedings. She's not going to join in of her own accord, but you could probably rope her into this.]

[bloodbiter]

[And when Adelina notices that she's sitting off to the side and observing everyone else, she does just that, walking towards her with a smile.]

Susan! Truth or dare?

[brandnewday]

Hehe~! You can go ahead and ask me to do or say anythin'! There's no way I'm gonna lose in a game like this.

[She seems a little too confident given recent evens. Given, well, everything. But games are fine. Games are a good distraction.]

[innocentloveholic]

[ OHhhhh is that so. ]

Anything, huh? [ |) ] Okay then, Vi-va-cious! Truth or dare?

[notaccurate]

[Luca is not normally one to play games like this. But he hasn't specifically heard of 'truth or dare', as it is called something else in his time, and he is curious enough (and tipsy enough, if the bottle of liquor with him is any indication) to at least go watch and find out what it's about.

After a few rounds of other people playing, he finally relents.]

Alright, I think I understand how this game is played. Truth, or dare?

[Yeah of course he's asking first, would you really expect anything else?]

[bloodbiter]

[She's definitely eyeing the alcohol with a look that's scrutinizing if not quite disapproving, but she does answer when he asks her.]

Truth, I believe.

[explosivecombat]

[...You know what, Kimblee is apparently here for one thing today and that is disgusting amounts of parfait. He's still seeming a little quiet today, given the...everything about this week, but he's got a total confectionary disaster with him and he will be over here watching the proceedings and picking at it as we go.

He'll play if asked, but for now you kids have fun.]

[bloodbiter]

[After a while, she notices him watching the proceedings, and walks towards him with a small wave.]

Would you like to play?

[sleepytimegal]

[ Today has been...something. This whole week has been something. But, at the end of the day, Alex will take being slightly uncomfortable in a crowd over locked in stasis, in her room.

So while she's not entirely...out and about and bouncy, she'll make an effort, go up to some people or wait for them to come to her, whatnot.

...and definitely having a beer with her parfait because screw it right. ]

[innocentloveholic]

[ That's okay, Aligula's out and bouncy enough for the both of them, and she as a dare to complete so...! ]

Sub— Alex! [ damn she'd been doing well too. Okay, anyway, moving on— ] You look like a pathetic puppy... Oh, wait, I gotta give you a compliment. [ ...give her a second.

Okay. ] You're actually not so bad, for a human. Like, you're pretty interesting? It's way better than like, most of the ones we have left.

[introspects]

[ well! this seems like a fun way to talk to people! orihime feels lonely around here, so it'll be a good way to get her to make new friends. hopefully. ]

Hello! Um...truth or dare?

[bloodbiter]

[She looks towards Orihime with a smile when the other girl approaches, giving her a nod in greeting.]

I suppose... Truth, to begin with.
