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

[ 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. ]

[ Sayaka gets a little smile, though those are sparse for Alex tonight. ...Ah, she'll put her beer down, that's not...something Sayaka is around a lot, huh- ]

Uhh, yeah, sure. You wanna ask a thing?

[destage]

Sorta...kinda? Well it's...more something I...

[God, she's...going a little pink in the cheeks, heck.]

Could you...stand still for a moment? It's more something I need to do.

[sleepytimegal]

[ :? ]

Uhhh, okay... Sure, I'll be still as stone.

[destage]

[...Uuuuuugh. Ugh, this is so embarrassing. She's not sure if it's because she can practically hear the camera clicks going off in her head (of all too excited paparazzi) or her managers in her head (telling her this is something she can't walk back from) or just herself and how...weird...she is about this in general...

Sayaka pauses for a good bit, before taking a step forward. And another, and another...]

Thank you. Um...

[...this is getting worse dear god. Okay, deep breath. Deep breath. It's only once, and she already compromised with Elda for this much. No turning back. Maybe if she just closes her eyes and pretends that she's a school girl kissing a pillow or something she'll be okay?

This likely looks awkward. Alex is probably gonna wonder. She looks confused enough already, but Sayaka can practically feel a lump in her throat growing. She's doing something wrong, and it's bad but her business is so screwed up, and she'd rather avoid the hot sauce and--

Sayaka's quick, if Alex doesn't move to stop her or anything--and she gives her the tiniest peck on the cheek, before moving back a few steps, not opening her eyes and kind of just...uh. Waiting, she thinks? Maybe. Or just processing.

...She is gonna be in so much trouble.]

[sleepytimegal]

[ The whole day's been kind of...you know, awful, so really, a little awkwardness is nothing for her. She's content waiting. Confused, yes, but still just standing there, until--

Like a dang cheetah, she's there and she's back, oh.

Oh.

Like, Alex is no stranger to this, she realizes pretty quick what's happening; she's been the subject of a few dare kisses in her time, and they don't really mean anything, it's just how the game works, but.

But she remembers Sayaka telling her about the business. What she can and can't do, and...more than anything, she sees that scared look. Maybe that's what makes this all a little different.

So she blinks and she feels her face heat but she wets her lips (they're dry, suddenly) and...smiles. ]

Who hit you with this one? [ Easygoing, relaxed. ]

[destage]

...Marker-san did. She...um...

[Sayaka's voice kind of goes dead at that. Does she really wanna say she had the choice in this matter? That'd just make it worse, wouldn't it?

...She's going so red, too, and she...opens an eye tentatively, to look at Alex's face. She's...happy...?]

She...dared me to kiss someone on the cheek...

[sleepytimegal]

[ Definitely embarrassed but yes, happy. Pleasant, pleased. ]

'Course it's the granny... W-well, uh... There you go, you can go tell 'er dare fulfilled. Not hot sauce for you. [ ...A small grin. ]

[destage]

[...she's not sure what to say or...really think, but...

She can't help but smile a bit too. That was...okay, a bit embarrassing, but god?]

Yeah. I'll go tell her. H...Have a good rest of the party, Alex.

[And she's off!!]

[sleepytimegal]

[ she should say something as sayaka's leaving- ]

Y-you too!
