[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.}

Me?

[Orihime has half a cookie in her mouth, caught by surprise. How wonderful, he's trying to be more social! She's so proud.]

Let's see... I'll go with a hair-raising dare!

[Just because he seems less conversationally inclined. Besides, if there was something he wanted to know, she's sure he would have asked beforehand.]

[heartofasamurai]

[Hair-raising? Seiji is silent for a moment, thinking that through.]

I dare you to cartwheel around the room in a circle.

That involved some form of hair raising, does it not?]

[leekspins]

A cartwheel?

[She looks around the room, trying to determine if she has enough space to do that without kicking someone in the head. Seems like she probably could.]

I haven't done that since I was six, but I think I still remember how.

[Orihime taps her chin in thought.]

Is it okay if I change out of my skirt first?

[heartofasamurai]

[Immediately his face begins to flush because he thought it would be simple and yet did not consider the skirt.]

Of--Of course. I would not wish for you to be uncomfortable or in danger over a dare.

[leekspins]

Great! I wouldn't be uncomfortable, don't worry.

[She might be misunderstanding his meaning of 'comfort' but that's fine. She's already up on her feet.]

I'm just down the hall so I'll be right back!

[And off she goes. About two minutes pass before she returns, sans shoes, having exchanged the long pink skirt with the asymmetric ruffle for a pair of comfortable track pants. She plans to sneak out for some secret training, so Seiji actually saved her a step. She holds an elastic tie between her teeth as she gathers up her chestnut locks and bundles them up into a loose knot, then secures it with the tie. A cartwheel is no fun if her hand or foot lands on her hair!]

Ready! Watch closely...

[Spreading her feet apart, she throws her hands above her head and dives for the ground. Her thin legs kick up as she shifts her weight, and comes down on her feet. The blood has started to rush to her face, it's easy to see that her complexion is more pink, and she goes for another cartwheel. Another. And another!]

[It seems like she's going to complete the dare, up until she reaches the window that someone cracked open to get some cool air circulating through a room stuffed with teenagers. The second her feet hit the ground and her hands come up, she side-dives right out the window and vanishes from sight.]

[Welp.]

[heartofasamurai]

[It seems very simple at first, until he notices the window, but before Seiji can warn her, she's gone, disappearing into the night.]

Miss Orihime! [He rushes to the window, whispering a quick spell that sets his body glowing in a halo before he jumps out himself, floating in the air as he looks for her.]

[leekspins]

[He doesn't have far to fall. Even without the spell, he'd find himself just a couple of feet off the ground. Being on the first floor, Orihime was perfectly safe, and she's standing immediately to his right as she bends over to brush the snow and grass from her knees.]

[She straightens in surprise when he appears, glowing, and stares in awe for a moment.]

...I wasn't skipping out on the dare! It was just easier to go around all the snack tables this way.

[That's why he followed her, right?]

[heartofasamurai]

You could have been hurt. [Clearly this was the most important part of her actions and yet she did not seem to care. He should have thought it through, and he would have remembered that the ground was so close, but he has spent too much time being alert and ready for any attack. It is hard to remember sometimes that there is not a great danger awaiting.]

I had forgotten we were on the first floor, but it was still a dangerous act.

[leekspins]

Jumping out a window? I've done it plenty of times! It's kind of fun!

[Clearly, since she still looks pretty happy in spite of his lecture.]

Anyway, this school is all about teaching us how to react in the face of danger. Think of it as training! If I need to escape a building and the doors are blocked, I can hastily escape through a window in an unexpected manner!

So please don't worry too much about me. See?

[She holds up her arms.]

I'm not hurt at all!

[heartofasamurai]

[If there is anything Seiji has learned--at times from personal choices--someone saying "please don't worry about me" only means that they are someone who needs that worrying. Still, as she is unhurt and it would be unfair of him to press the point when she knows her own skills well beyond he does, he is not going to insist.]

Very well. Would you like to return inside? We can use the door.

[leekspins]

Yes! That's kind of a relief, I was starting to get dizzy, ha ha...!

[She brushes off the last clump of snow before walking beside him. It was actually really kind of him to dive out the window after her like that. Unexpected! But kind.]

Thanks for trying to save me. I didn't mean to scare you, but... I appreciate it too. You're really nice, Seiji.
