The Seventeeth Trial

[catcophonous]

Who: trialgoers
When: Day 39, evening
Where: The Cat's Zone

[Have you enjoyed your day playing in your new train cars? Great! Because now it's Trial Time.

With the usual alert, the Cat's bar appears in the clearing. There's no "come hither" -- instead, just the pounding of bass from the speakers as the door cracks open. Inside there's flashing party lights, upbeat club music, and high-top tables surrounding a wide dance floor. The stage in the corner is empty except for a single microphone.

At the bar you can get free drinks, but you'll have to contend with the bartender -- a black cat curled up on the shelf between the bottles.

On the bar, and on every table, is a sign showing the rules of this game, titled:

Kiss or Dare

If you want to dress up for the club, or want costumes for daring purposes, there's a dressing room behind the stage with a magic closet. You'll find whatever you like in it, but when the trial ends you can only take home what you're wearing!

Good luck!]

[A shiver runs down his spine and he flushes but laughs a little too.]

Same idea different approach huh?

[bad_crowmance]

[ He pulls back to respond and grins. ]

Pretty much! Both of 'em sound like fun to me.

[awakenerd]

[Rubbing his red cheeks. Okay. Okay. He won't expire right here. Probably. As long as he changes the subject from steamy.]

Y-yeah. I pick dare.

[bad_crowmance]

[  Crow grins at that. ]

I dare you to kiss me! On the lips, let's just be clear about that now.

[ Did he really think he would get out of the steamy stuff that easily. ]

[awakenerd]

[Why! Is Crow a bully! This is a little better than talking about kinky things though so he leans right in to tug Crow into a kiss.

It's properly on the lips and just a little sensual but not too heated. They're in the middle of a trial! He's not that shameless.]

[bad_crowmance]

[ Because Rean likes it.

Rean might not be that shameless but Crow is, and he pulls Rean in closer and weaves his hands through his hair. On the one hand, he's behaving somewhat by not groping Rean's ass. On the other hand, he's definitely trying to slip him some tongue so your mileage may vary as to whether or not he's really putting in any effort though. ]

[awakenerd]

[His face heats up but it's not like he doesn't, in fact, like the attention so he kisses back before embarrassment makes him pull away and catch his breath.]

....I dare you to behave for ten minutes.

[bad_crowmance]

Maaaan, that's not even a fun dare!

[awakenerd]

It's only ten minutes. Or do you think you can't do it?

[bad_crowmance]

Of course I can do it! That's not even in question.

[awakenerd]

Then suck it up.

[Did he drop that set up to innuendo on purpose or is it just accidental bait.]

[bad_crowmance]

[ THAT'S MEAN. Crow very visibly restrains himself from taking the bait. ]

I dare you to dance with me.

[awakenerd]

Beating me to that huh? I'd love to.

[bad_crowmance]

You were thinking about it too, huh?

[ He extends a hand to Rean. ]

[awakenerd]

Of course.

[Taking Crow's hand happily. More than eager for a dance. ]

[bad_crowmance]

[ Crow pulls him in close and starts to waltz. He'd tango but that'd make it too tempting to misbehave. ]

"Of course." [ He chuckles. ] I wouldn't mind dancing with you more often.

[awakenerd]

Same here.

[A waltz is nice and easy, and Rean's enjoying himself.]

There's something just... nice, about dancing.

[bad_crowmance]

[ Crow's enjoying himself too honestly, though he is intensely aware of Dusk's continued assumption they're Dating. ]

Yeah. It's honestly a lot of fun.

[ Not like "playing Blade or kicking ass" levels of fun, but genuinely nice. ]

[awakenerd]

[Rean's into everything so it's just as fun as cards or asskicking to him.]

Ah, honestly thinking of dares is the real challenge. I'd rather just keep dancing.

Kiss or dare? Do I even need to ask.

[bad_crowmance]

[ Rean is so easy, but Crow thinks that's cute too. ]

Maybe the real challenge can be thinking of ones that can be done without stopping. And no you don't need to ask but I'll say it anyway-- dare! Of course.

[awakenerd]

Well we need to stop for this one. Say heartfelt compliments to three different people, you're still on the behave timer.

--Oh and excluding me.

[bad_crowmance]

Are you kidding me, what's with the sappy dare?

[ UGH. ]

Sure, gimme a sec.

[awakenerd]

I can dare you to be sappy all night.

[bad_crowmance]

That's too much...!

[ NO BULLY. ]

[awakenerd]

What, are you saying you couldn't do it?
