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. ]

[flagitate]

That's good.

[ She shrugs. ]

Alright as I can be, I guess.

[destage]

...Worried, I'm guessing?

[She doesn't want to make too many assumptions.]

I won't ask for specifics, obviously, but...I wouldn't blame you for the worry.

[flagitate]

Yeah. I... my envelope said a lot of weird things, but nothing I'd kill over.

[ She sighs, a little frustrated. ]

But I can't say the same for the others. Everything and everyone's too unpredictable.

[destage]

...Just be sure to get inside early, when night falls. That may be the best way to stay safe.

[Sayaka can understand that frustration, at least. But what can they do? They're just...powerless, really.]

It's not like there's much we can do, for now. The most we can take are preventative measures for ourselves, really.

[flagitate]

Yeah. You too, alright?

[ She definitely doesn't want anything to happen to Sayaka. ]

I'd feel better if I knew people could defend themselves.

[destage]

...Don't worry about me. I'll be fine.

[she hasn't been found in a bathroom yet!!]

I think a fair amount of us...I think we can at least do something, but...

[Well. Look at how Blue killed Chitoge. Fuckin' cold.]

[flagitate]

... If you're ever scared or something, you can come find me.

[ She says it really quietly, and looks away as she does. ]

[destage]

[...that's...

...That manages to surprise her. She wonders if that'll remain the same, come...whenever their secrets get revealed, but--]

...Thank you, Katniss-san. It's...good to know that you wouldn't mind that.

[flagitate]

It's not that big of a deal.

[ She seems a little embarrassed. ]

... Anyway, you can just call me Katniss.

[destage]

...Forgive me, uh...not using an honorific with someone is...actually a really big deal, and usually reserved for people who are incredibly close. Family, or...other such ways.

[She understands, but that's the one point she ain't gonna budge on.]

But, it is a big deal to me. ...It's nice to not be alone.

[flagitate]

Oh. Sorry.

[ it's just weird sayaka!!! ]

... Yeah. I-- guess it is.

[ You can practically see the question marks over her head. ]

[destage]

[She'll wave it off--it's no problem, honestly. But...

...Huh.]

Is it really that shocking to hear?

[flagitate]

... I don't have friends back home. Everyone just tolerates me. So most of the time, it's-- it was just me and Prim, or me and Gale.

[destage]

[...Katniss...

Sayaka's smile is a bit gentler.]

Well, why don't we change that, here?

[flagitate]

[ ...! ]

You'd seriously want to be friends with me?

[destage]

Why wouldn't I? You're an incredibly kind girl, I think. You're really likable, too!

[Sayaka beams, bringing her hands in front of her.]

[flagitate]

... I am?

[destage]

Absolutely. And I'd be honored to be your friend.

[flagitate]

[ She clears her throat lightly, then nods. ]

Okay. I guess... let's be friends.

[destage]

[Sayaka brightens considerably, and bounces a little bit in place while clapping.]

Oh, yay! I'm so glad, Katniss-san!
