The Seventeeth Trial

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!]

[Spins herself around! She rapidly starts to wobble, coming to a stop, but still wobbling.]

[golf clap!!]

I started out on easy mode. Your turn. Hit me with your best dare.

[personal profile] nihilmancy 2019-08-16 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
I dare you to sing your favorite song.

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2019-08-16 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
Easy enough.

What if I don't have a favorite song, though?

[what if he can't remember it]

[personal profile] nihilmancy 2019-08-16 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
Do you know any songs?
survivaltricks: (pic#13004385)

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2019-08-16 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, yeah. There are a few that are so ingrained in my brain that even amnesia can't make me forget them.

Should I choose one of those?

[personal profile] nihilmancy 2019-08-16 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, if you please.

All right.

[and, even though she didn't request it, he is totally hopping on stage! to sing. . .]

[the Pokemon theme song]

[p.s. he is not a bad singer but he ain't great, either]
nihilmancy: (Curious)

...I don't really understand what you're catching, is this some sort of illegal poaching operation?

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2019-08-17 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[oh my god]

It's-- a theme song for a kid's cartoon.

[personal profile] nihilmancy 2019-08-17 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
About poaching magical creatures for use in a sick underground zoo for wealthy thrill seekers? How vile. Additionally, what is a cartoon.

[. . .]

Kiss or dare, Hlasoh?

[HE DON'T WANNA GET INTO THAT]

[personal profile] nihilmancy 2019-08-17 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
It was just a joke.

U-Um, another dare.

[huffs an amused sound, mouth twitching]

I dare you tooooo. . . do a five-minute stand up comedy routine on stage.

[personal profile] nihilmancy 2019-08-17 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
...Kiss it is.

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2019-08-17 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[-- seems a bit surprised; that's the first time someone passed on one of his dares]

Ah? Really?
nihilmancy: (Blush)

[personal profile] nihilmancy 2019-08-17 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[This really is quite awkward, due to what transpired between her and Kiryuu- she really still misses him. To say nothing of the other boy who looked like them both, that kindly assisted her when she first arrived her. It sparks complex feelings in her, and she flushes, but moves in close.]

Mmhm.

[She starts to move her face in, closing her eyes and clearly going for a mouth-kiss.]

[twilight can be a little shameless (and has been, during the course of this game), but he does have boundaries. kissing a perfect stranger on the lips is unfortunately one of those boundaries, and when he realizes what she's going for he makes a startled noise and leans back, lifting a hand as a sort of barrier between him and his mouth]

Whoa, whoa-- hang on.

[sheepish]

Cheek or hand?

[he doesn't have problems kissing, but he'd sure prefer there to be some feelings involved first]

[personal profile] nihilmancy 2019-08-17 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[She backs away several steps, guilt and embarrassment clearly showing on her face.]

O-Oh gods, I-I'm so sorry!
survivaltricks: (pic#13006422)

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2019-08-17 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[OH NO]

I-- it's fine!

[he's a little flustered himself, which is a feat since he's usually so unflappable]

It's part of the game, and I didn't really make it clear beforehand--

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2019-08-17 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[extends his hand, then! he doesn't seem to mind that in the slightest, at least]
nihilmancy: (Blush)

[personal profile] nihilmancy 2019-08-18 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Takes his hand, and gives it a quick kiss, still flustering.]

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2019-08-18 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
[draws his hand back when he's done, the fluster vanishing]

And now it's your turn again.
