[OPEN] TRUTH OR DARE PARTY AIN'T LIKE ANY OTHER PARTY

[inkedspell]

WHO: Sarona and everyone else. It's a free for all.
WHERE: Floor Lounge of Aube Dorm
WHEN: Late Night January 18th
WHAT: LATE NIGHT GAME PARTY. TRUTH OR DARE OR TRIPLE DOG STARE.
WARNINGS: HIJINKS. Language, kids doing stupid things for fun, possible light age-appropriate sexual content, but it should be warned for (keep it PG13 and below!)

Everyone should have received the mass IRIS message earlier that day:
One week down and more to go
Catch a zombie by the toe
If you're scared don't let it show
Dare to act or tell all you know

Join us for Truth or Dare in the communal lounge of Aube Floor 1.
Food and drinks will be provided, but there's always room for more.
Fun starts @ 8PM. Later you are, the harder the dares.

Anyone who decides to join in on the fun will find the communal lounge set up with couches, chairs, and tables placed around the edges, to make the center of the room open for people to move through. Subs, chips, a fruit and cheese platter, and unopened cans and bottles of soda and water on their own separate table. On another table is two unused fishbowls with strips of paper and pens next to them. On one fishbowl is written: Put name in bowl.

Sarona is going to wait until eight o'clock on the dot to start.

"So here's the rules. You ask 'Truth or Dare?' They answer 'Dare' or 'Truth.' Don't come up with anything that'll get the RAs on us, okay? You get one refusal, that's it. Otherwise you agreed to be here and you agreed to the game, don't chicken out on us."

And then she grabs the fish bowl and holds it up for everyone to see. "If you don't know who to pick when it's your turn, pick a name out of the jar. If you only call on your friends and/or enemies, you'll have to pick a name out of the jar. No breaking off into little groups. That's boring."

She sets it down and then gives a little grin, "Now let the fun begin."

{OOC: Have fun! Make your own prompts as the darer or the dared, etc, in the act of completing a dare or telling a truth, it's all good! This is a completely open log. Again, warn for any potential sexual content, violence, or disturbing content.}

[Orihime is beyond thrilled. Her first teenage party, with teenage games! Or just one game. She's fine with this game. So of course she came, not only because it's a fun new experience, but because it's even on her floor! She chugs a bottle of water and crushes the empty container in her fist.]

Yoooosh! I'm ready for this challenge!

[OOC: You can assume she'll say truth or dare and skip straight to the challenge if you like!]

[inkedspell]

[Sarona chokes she laughs so much at the girl's exuberance. So she thinks of something silly, but hopefully not to embarrassing.]

I dare you to serenade someone while doing jumping jacks.

[leekspins]

Hmmmm...

[She's not debating whether or not she'll do it, she just has to pick the right song. Most of what she knows is Japanese. But, finally, she's got just the tune.]

Okay!

[She gets up to her feet, straightening her skirt, and goes to stand in front of Minako. It's not as embarrassing if it's another girl. Then she starts bouncing on the balls of her feet, arms swinging upward to clap in rhythm.]

Ceeeeeelebration time, COME ON!

[She twists at the waist, making it more of a dance than straight up jumping jacks, but it still works. And she follows up in a false bass voice:]

It's a celebration!

Ceeeeeelebration time, COME ON!

[inkedspell]

[Sarona is definitely going to laugh now. It's perfect. Orihime is definitely winning the game in her book.]

Cute! Not much of jack in that jumping, but it works. Now your turn.

[leekspins]

[She sits down again quickly, her sheepish smile showing she may have been more embarrassed than she let on. But she's happy it made somebody laugh.]

Okay! Truth or dare?

[inkedspell]

Hm...Dare. [She says it like she actually considering picking anything else. The dares are the most fun part.]

[leekspins]

[Orihime nods.]

This one is hard, but I believe in you! You have to ask someone "Honey, do you love me?" and they have to respond "Honey I love you but I just can't smile." If they smile, the challenge is complete! If they can't keep a straight face, then you win! Those are the only rules, you can do whatever you want to try to make them smile.

[inkedspell]

But why would they respond that way? Am I supposed to let them in on the joke or somehow get them to say it without that? [She is wondering if this is some meme that she's missed. There's plenty of them she's too busy to pay attention to.]

[leekspins]

You can say whatever you want, and use any explanation! The only way to break the curse of the dare is to make them say the right words and smile!

[inkedspell]

[Sarona goes off and finds someone to do this with, but she tells them exactly what the rules of the dare are and gets the right words and a smile in return. It's such a silly dare, but she enjoys it. At least Orihime is trying to keep things light and fun.]

I'm back, Miss Cutie, and victorious. Your turn.

[yokeye]

[Toki waves as he approaches.]

Orihime~! Can I tell you a joke? It's a dare from Seiji~!

[He points in Seiji's direction.]

[leekspins]

I love jokes!

[She can't believe he has to even ask permission! Orihime turns herself completely to fully face him, leaning forward in eager anticipation.]

Please tell me your best!

[yokeye]

[He's eerily calm and matter-of-fact in his recitation; no dramatics, no smiling. This is why he joined the Theater Club, after all.]

Alright, so there's this guy in uh, Bulgaria, let's say. All his life, he dreamed of driving a train, and indeed, this is the profession he finally obtained. Unfortunately, he liked to drive a bit too fast and reckless, not considering the safety of his passengers. The man himself was uninjured in the subsequent crash, yet he had inadvertently killed a passenger. The train driver was arrested and sentenced to death. Upon being asked his selection for a last meal, the man wished for simply a banana. His request was granted. The execution was to be carried out by the electric chair. However, somehow the man survived the electrocution, and as was uh, Bulgarian, custom on failed executions, he was released.

The man returned to his job, but his continued reckless actions caused yet another accident resulting in the death of two passengers. This time, he asked for two bananas as his last meal, and was provided with them. And again, the execution failed. The man was given his job back for a third time. But he had not learned his lesson, and another train crash was imminent. Upon his third incarceration, he chose three bananas for his last meal. The warden, strongly suspecting the bananas to be the cause of the failed executions, denied the man's request. Satisfied the warden had solved the problem at hand, the man was once again brought to the electric chair. The execution, this time, also failed.

Confused, the executioner proclaimed, "You should be dead. We did not acquiesce to your request for bananas, and they were surely the reason for your previous failed executions."

The man simply replied, "The bananas had nothing to do with it. I'm just a bad conductor."

[leekspins]

[It started out as kind of a sad and morbid joke, but that's just part of the world of comedy, she knows. That's why she's not making gloomy expressions or asking why in the world this train company would continue to hire such a reckless man to drive their trains -- it's a joke, and momentum counts! No interruptions! Besides, his recitation is definitely entertaining to listen to, so she does, propping her elbows on her knees and her chin on her fists, nodding when it seems appropriate.]

[The punchline lands true, and her furrowed brow eases immediately. She'd been wondering if some sort of banana pun would be involved, so she's pleasantly surprised to find that she hasn't guessed the ending.]

Ha ha ha!

[Orihime's not rolling on the floor or anything, but she liked the joke, enough that she sits back and applauds lightly.]

You should tell that joke to Nana, she loves bananas! You did good! I could tell you worked hard to make the most of the dare.

[yokeye]

I think Nana might take it as evidence that eating bananas makes you immortal, though~!

[He thought it was a pretty terrible joke, which is why he could make it through without smiling.]

Thank you for your participation~!

[He gives her a small bow and returns to Seiji.]

Later on....

[nevernoaction]

[He has a feeling Orihime might not take this personally considering the game they're playing.

When there's a free moment, Ren sighs, rolls his eyes and then blows a kiss to her. It is the most un-Renlike thing he could do.]

[leekspins]

[Orihime freezes stock still.]

[And stares.]

[And blushes.]

[It takes her a moment to remember their situation, and when she does, she's so embarrassed.]

A-ah ha ha ha! Thank you! Dare complete!

[Because that's what it was, right?]

[nevernoaction]

I am so sorry.

[Ren actually looks like something other than calm. Chagrined, even. But it is nice to have him feel a little different?]

[leekspins]

No, it's fine!

[She waves her hands quickly. Don't look like that, Rooftop Ren!]

It was just unexpected, and I didn't realize the nature of the gesture at first, so I was very surprised and my heart skipped a beat because that was a first-time experience! I'm okay! I don't need apologies!
