TRUTH OR DARE?

[Erika Conner (Bellefonte)]

OoC Note: You can join with whoever, and as many characters as you want. There's no set order of posting, unless of course your character is the one who has to do the whole truth or dare thing; but remember, if you take too long, we'll skip you. (You can still write people being there, viewing the game, even if they're not the ones being asked)

Rules:
1. The dares can occur anywhere around school campus. If the dare requires someone to leave the room, this will be started in a separate thread, which should be hyperlinked somewhere in this thread by doing this: [*url=link]text[*/url] (Minus the asterix) The thread can be started with anyone, since someone needs to follow to make sure the dare actually happens, so yes, someone has to watch people perform the dare. How many, is entirely up to you.

2. Dares can be anything. It can involve people both in the game, and those outside of it. However, if the dare involves someone outside of the game, and they're not interested in creating a thread, you could always "pretend" it happened. It still needs to be threaded out, but said person could be an NPC. Just remember to ask them to make sure it's OK. 

3. When your character is asked, and replies (and of course, after fulfilling whatever they pick), it's their turn to ask someone else. Who to ask is entirely up to you -- just remember that the character has to actually be present in the thread.

4. If the player does not perform the dare, or if the group agrees that the player did not do the dare properly, or if the person is suspected of not being truthful, the player is penalized. Penalties are an important part of any truth or dare game. Because the excitement of the game is often light-hearted fun at others expense, much of the games magic is lost when you have dishonest players, or those who COMMIT to the game and then refuse to follow the rules. Penalties are the thing that encourage players to do dares, even when they really don't want to.

The person asking "truth or dare" gets to pick between... (and the person who is being asked has no choice but to do this. It's either that, or leave the game entirely): The player taking a shot of alcohol or remove a piece of clothing.

Erika clapped her hands together as she looked over the student lounge. She figured that after the fire and the whole IMAC ordeal, everyone could use a breather. Everyone could use some fun. So, she had arranged for a truth or dare night where everyone was welcome. She had even put out flyers around the school to spread the word. She had talked to her friends and told them to tell all their friends as well. Some of them had even come early to help her set things up.

Looking around, she was fairly pleased with the setup. They had dimmed the lights, making the room look more cozy, and lit it up with a few lamps here and there; she had opted not to use candles, as she didn't exactly want to remind people of the fire. She had also put out lots of snacks and beverages, plastic cups and plates, enough to feed a group of people for an entire weekend.

The floor had been decorated with pillows, chairs, blankets and various seating arrangements, as the couches wouldn't hold as many people as Erika hoped would show up. She had put some nice music in the background and people had already started to show up, casually chatting among themselves.

Sitting down on the floor, Erika gestured for people to take a seat. "Okay, I'm sure most of you know the rules of truth or dare, but just in case, let me explain them... First, if you could all sit down in a circle, that would be great," she said as she waved her arms, gesturing for people to sit. She started explaining the rules (these can be found at the top of the thread), making sure that everyone was paying attention too, and understood what the game was all about. "If you're not ready to commit to this, I suggest you leave right away."

And it was also a nice distraction from the whole 'no longer being headmistress' bullshit.

And with that, Erika turned towards Frank "Sunny" Laffont with a smirk, "Truth or dare?"

[Frank "Sunny" Laffont]

"OMIGERD," cooed Frank, rocking back and forth on her perch on a plush arm chair. She rocked so much that she actually fell over and ended up sprawled on the ground. It didn't take very long for her to scramble back up, and somewhere in the fall she'd apparently acquired some Red Vines, as they now hung from her face, bobbing as she chewed. "Omigerd," she said again, somehow making the noise around the mouthful of candy.

Naturally Frank had arrived and been there early because of course she'd wanted to participate and stuff. She'd also bullied most of her closest friends into coming, which meant that of course François Laffont and Ellen Banks were likely somewhere nearby, or attempting to sneak away and pretend like they'd never ever met anyone named Frank Cox. Of course, several of Erika's friends were present, along with a milling of people that didn't really count (because NPC extras are fun!).

"Omigerd!" Frank squealed this time. "I'm gonna go with truth, no, dare, noooooo everyone totally expects me to do dare so I should go with dare. I mean truth! I don't know what I mean!" she giggled again, before slurping a red vine. She took about three seconds to chew before nodding and motioning toward Erika. "Let's start off with a dare! C'mon, hit me hard, Mrs. Chef. Gimme your best shot."

[Jack McCarthy]

“OH OH OH! I WANNA PLAY I WANNA PLAY!” Jack screamed bursting into the room with gusto. Of course Jack wants to play along with the fun. Who doesnn’t like truth or dare. The most socally helpful form of harassment available it was like this game was made for Jack, His power might be duplication but Jack had another one maybe even more potent.

The lack of anything even closely resembling shame and that served him well during these type of games.

So when he heard there was this kind of un to be had he had to get involved. Jack moved into the room and practically flopped to the ground like a rock before scrambling to a sitting position “OH PICK ME FIRST ERIKA! ERIKA! ERIKA! ERIKA! PICK ME! ERIKA! ERIKA! ERIKA! ERIKS! ERIKA! ERIKA! ERIKA! ME! ME! ME! ME!” Jack screamed at the top of his lungs raising his hand in the arm but pouted hen Frank was chosen first

[Erika Conner (Bellefonte)]

Of course, Erika tried her absolutely best to ignore the living hell out of Jack, because really... Hadn't she told the boy to get lost already? Well, she figured she had to give him creds for his obvious enthusiasm, but no. The brunette had already decided who she was gonna ask first...

Grinning at the tiny girl, Erika pursed her lips. She couldn't hold back the amused smile as Frank struggled with deciding between truth or dare. "Okay," she began, nodding as she pondered through the various dares she could offer the girl. She knew that Frank practically had no shame, so whatever she came up with was probably gonna be OK'ed. But, the brunette figured it was probably for the best if she went with something less drastic for their first time around. She didn't want to scare people off just yet, now did she?

Tapping her chin, Erika pursed her lips. "I dare you to stand up, put on a blindfold-- or something that can be used for it--" she stopped and unzipped her sweater. Pulling it off, she handed it to Frank. "This will do. Put on the blindfold and spin around, and then you have to walk up to a random player and feel their face, and see if you can guess who it is by touch alone."

And with that, it was Frank's turn.

OoC Note: If you need any of my characters for this, they're all available. Just tag them by going @username, and I'll reply.

[Ellen Banks]

Different stage, same play. Or less ominous the same play that Ellen and Frank seemed to go over every time they had an interaction. It was like an old classic song that everyone knew the lyrics to. And the lyrics went something like this; (Sing along if you know the words) “No, Frank I don’t want to play truth or dare I’m must too busy to play. Why would you think I would want to? Why have I ever showed the slightest interest in playing those type of games. No, I don’t care how fun it’ll be I’m staying put and there’s nothing you can say that can make me chance my mind.

10 minutes later

“Damn she’s sneaky” Ellen, muttered as she sat in place her head resting against the palm of her hand clearly bored and not wanting to be here.

Let the games begin…

[Sam Tucker]

This was so not the kind of thing Sam wanted to be part of, but the second he'd heard that Ellen was going to be there... Well, he wasn't hard to convince. Instead of sitting in the middle of the group, the Texan boy sat in the corner, trying to make himself as invisible as humanly possible.

He paid half an eye to the actual game, and the rest of his attention span was locked purely on the gorgeous blonde sitting there, among the people looking absolutely gorgeous, and somewhat bored.

Well, he was glad he'd decided to come, even though he hoped no one would take notice of him being there. Despite being the quarterback, Sam liked to believe that no one really knew who he was.

And the game didn't seem too bad thus far, although, some of the rules were kind of questionable...

[Frank "Sunny" Laffont]

"I CAN DO IT!" Frank yelled, before waving her hands. Somewhere in the flailing she managed to actually grab hold of the sweater. It soon was in her grabby little hands, and she soon wrapped it about her head, mostly just sort of throwing it over instead of doing anything official. From there, it wasn't hard to do some spinning.

And some more spinning.

And likely just a bit too much spinning.

And then a wobbly, giggly Frank Cox started weaving her way through the crowd. The flailing arms meant that she hit several people as she walked. At last, Frank ended up nearly bumping into a guy, some random guy played by some random Norg, probably named something like Sam Tucker. Then she started feeling him up.

"oooh, I don't know if I know... is this Beau LaRoux ? He's here, right?" Frank put her hands on poor Sam's head, running over them. "It kinda feels like Beau's hair...." she moved her hands down, "oh, this isn't Beau's face... oh, I know!" Frank grabbed Sam's hand, pulling her hands. "There's no ring! Heyyyyy, Ellen, this guy feels pretty hawt, maybe we should get him to ask you out or something," Frank then ran her hands along his body. "Like, for serious," she then poked around his face some more. "Yeaaaaaah, I don't know if I know this one... waaaaaaaait, I think it's one of those football player guys... SEAN, IT'S SEAN, RIGHT!" and Frank started slapping poor Sam's shoulder.s

[Sam Tucker]

Oh god... Oh no.. Was she moving towards him? Nooo... She wasn't. She couldn't. Wait. She was. Oh god. Sam could feel the panic rise in his chest, causing his face to turn crimson red. Frank stopped in front of him and started putting her hands everywhere, causing the young male to squirm, looking absolutely terrified as Frank's arms roamed his body. Oh no-- not there, he was ticklish there! And not there-- oh ho, private zones. More squirming followed and Sam looked more and more uncomfortable by the second.

And then there was some mention of being hot. And asking Ellen out. And guessing the wrong person. And name. And Sam could just feel his heart beat faster and faster, and for a moment, he was actually terrified that his heart would just explode, because that could totally happen. Right?

He wasn't capable of saying anything. He just sat there with his blue eyes opened wide and his skin a good mixture of being ghostly white, and flushed, crimson red. How that was possible, he didn't know. He was going to faint. He was sure of it.

Squeaking a low "no", Sam's mouth just sort of dropped open and his expression turned kind of blank.

[Steinbeck Dunn]

Usually this wasn’t Becky’s thing. Big parties? Lots of people she doesn’t know? Those were two big checkmarks against showing up tonight, but she’d shown up anyway, and a lot of that had to do with her love for truth or dare. Most people would probably think it outside of her box, but she loved a good dare. Which was what brought her here tonight, despite all of her good sense.

She was sitting in a corner, trying to get away from most of the socialization going on around her. Not that she didn’t want to talk to people, just that sometimes she preferred to watch before she dove into something.

And whenever Frank was around, things were bound to get pretty nuts. She felt pretty bad for the poor boy she was feeling up, but it was hard not to laugh at it, even though he was obviously uncomfortable. He should have known what he signed up for when he showed up. As dares went, it was a pretty easy one to start with. She wouldn’t admit to the kind of things she’d done on dares before.

[Ellen Banks]

She wondered what normal people were doing were doing at this moment? Probably something fun…

No, Ellen didn’t care who Erika picked, no she didn’t care what dares were on offer and of course she didn’t care what tomfoolery Frank Cox was about to get up to, Hey as long as the focus was off herself Ellen was happy. Well, not particularly happy but she was content to count the moments down before she could leave

Until then she has taken to bronzing though her phone, surfing the net vaguely aware that Frank was talking to her “Mhhh Ellen nodded without taking her eyes off her phone screen "A-ha. A-ha. That’s nice Frank. Thanks for letting me know."

God angry birds was a bitch…

[Frank "Sunny" Laffont]

Frank kept feeling the young man up, letting her hands roam for a bit. Strictly for the game, of course, and not because he felt like a quite appealing bit of manflesh or anything along those lines. Frank heard the squeak and heard the almost distracted noise coming from Ellen.

"HE'S REALLY WELL BUILT, ELLEN, YOU SHOULD TOTALLY THINK ABOUT TAPPING THIS!" and Frank reached around and gave Sam's butt a quick squeeze, totally just because she was supposed to be figuring out who he was (she might have sort of forgotten if there were any specific rules regarding this game or face-feeling or anything along those lines). "You sure you're not Sean? You feel like a Sean. Or maybe a Sheen? A Sally? A Silas?"

She moved her hands back to start feeling up the face, working her fingers across it. "ERI, WHADDA I DO IF I'M NOT SURE WHO IT IS?" And she poked around the nose now, figuring that she might as well go for the whole thing while she was at it.

[Erika Conner (Bellefonte)]

Erika actually felt a little bit bad for the poor guy. A little. He looked absolutely terrified, and he was clearly unable to speak. Even at the butt squeeze made him jump, she could practically sense his uncomfortableness. It surely didn't help that Frank was practically man-handling him either. He didn't speak. He just sat there, squirming with that incredibly shocked, or maybe terrified expression on his face.

But man was it amusing to watch. And Erika kind of had to agree. Him and Ellen surely would make quite the cute couple... "You should actually pay attention to people when they're talking to you, Ellen. Don't be such a drag," she threw at her blonde ex-bestfriend.

"Well, if you fail to complete the dare, you'll be penalized," she drawled, leaning back on her elbows with a coy smirk on her lips. "And the alcohol is off the table, so you better start stripping," she winked, although Frank wouldn't be able to actually see it with the blindfold and all. Considering how Frank's power wouldn't get her drunk, Erika saw little point in choosing that punishment.

[Vera M. Solway]

Okay, so Truth or Dare, great. Vera was game and she figured she could use some "innocent" fun with some of her favorite people, and others she hadn't had the chance to meet yet. Throughout the beginning part, she had simply sat among everyone else in the circle and only used up 50 percent of her attention span to listen to the rules, which she already knew... obviously (like come on, who didn't know how to play Truth or Dare?).

Her eyes remained glued to her phone in constant text messages while Erika dared Frank and Frank went on with her dare. She even glanced up to see Frank attempt at the dare, only to have her hands roam all over some guy... named Steve or Sam, or Sean... She wasn't too sure. Vera pressed her lips together trying to hold back any kind of sound remotely close to a laugh. Poor boy... and especially since Frank tried to hook him and Ellen up in the process of this dare.

"Thiiiis... can't possibly end well." She chuckled as she meant the whole night and not just Erika's dare to Frank.

[Ellen Banks]

Oh god damn it. Of course. Of fucking course Erika would find something to yell at Ellen for, because just lived for those moments didn’t she? What on earth was she doing wrong? She was here wasn’t she? She was taking part wasn’t she? IT wasn’t her fault that Erika wanted her to pay attention to Frank’s screeching whatever nonsense it was.

Ellen eyes shifted from her phone for a moment giving Erika a look that screamed “I am not amused” before rolling them for good measure and snapping her phone shut “Well we wouldn’t want to be a drag now would we?” Ellen muttered irritated before looking up trying to see what Frank was babbling about

Her face instantly softened as waves of pity for Sam went through her system. Poor guy, he could barely make it through a conversation with Ellen without stuttering how was he going to handle Frank groping him.

She wouldn’t wish that on anyone

“Frank. You might want to back down, you’re scaring him” She said with a slight smirk

[Cade Carson]

Cade had heard there was a game of truth or dare going on, so he walked to the location and sat down in the circle he saw. There was only a couple of other guys there so it appeared. He stretched his arms behind his head before putting his hands on the ground behind him to prop himself up.

"I'm Cade Atkinson. Frank...might know me. If she remembers me." He chuckled, smirking as he watched her with her hands all over the guy.

"Dude, quit squirming. You're a lucky man!" What? In that guy's position, Cade would've been perfectly happy. Frank was hot.
