Truth or Dare: Nexus Edition

[the_rebel_son]

Lucifer isn't quite sure how this madness started. The angels had opened up the council chamber for visitors and of course Beelzebub had started them drinking, then they got rowdy and people started joining them. Who had brought up the idea of Truth or Dare was unknown but it rippled through the amassing group to a uniform good idea, despite the objective nature of it being a disaster.

Then there was some vote that Lucifer missed where Galahad, Prometheus, and Belial were made judges to keep things in line. That might have been the most reasonable and sane thing since this conversation started. Chairs were rearranged to a big circle.. and all the chairs from the villa had been taken. It was crowded, specially when they decided the judges should have chaises to lounge on. This was some true ancient Greek style madness with the drinking and the topics that were sure to come up. Still, it was all fun and games, right?


Rules of the Road:
1. Top level with your character.
2. Note if you are opting this in as canon for Nexus. This may be done in top level or in individual responses (If there is any questions about this please seek out players OOC.. Discord, PM in Dw etc)
3. A character may only ask truth or dare of the same character once.
4. However, a character may ask as many different characters as they please.
5. Characters may ask questions without doing a top level. However the 1 per the same character applies
6. If your character is crossing threads for a dare, please link back to the original comment where the dare was issued.
7. When in doubt ask?

"Lovers." Belial is still observing the situation through hawk eyes and his other senses with curiosity and it shows in his expression. "To the Greeks which we lived among a long time ago, it is specifically a name given to a younger man taken as a lover by a battle skills mentor, military commander, or teacher of tactics."

It seemed the most fitting term for the situation as far as the angel was concerned, even if it was indirectly just War taking a human warrior, a knight, as a lover.

If Belial had started with 'lovers' and stopped there, Galahad would have agreed. As it is, though, he finds he can't really disagree with the rest of the offered description.

"I suppose it can be a little like that sometimes. Beelzebub has been teaching me how to defend myself against angels." He rubs at one of his cheeks self-consciously, as if that might help massage away some of the blush from his skin. "But I think we're equals in a lot of ways, too-- or we each treat each other that way. He's given me the name 'Gerval'."

"He's war and you're a warrior." Belial clarifies his thinking. There's no judgement in the tone or behavior of Lucifer's counselor, though the interest in discussion is obvious.

Few things surprise Belial at the point but the name is enough to at least get a inquiring half smile and cocked brow. "He's given you a celestial angelic name?"

It wasn't customary to bestow an angel name on a mortal but then Beelzebub wasn't known for thinking before speaking or doing what he wanted

"He oversees a lot of my daily life and duties by nature of what he is? Is that what you mean?" Galahad considers that for a moment. He supposes it is more or less true.

"Aye, he has. It's beautiful. Your language has a smooth sound to it that I've never heard replicated in any earthly languages." But Galahad mostly likes it because it's yet another thing that ties him and Beelzebub together and serves as a token of their love.

"In a way, yes." Belial isn't sure how to explain much more beyond that.

"Enochian is the language of God." The angel expounds. "It is the language used by Lucifer and God to speak to each other before the universe began, and it is now the language of the angels."
