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?

"Hello, Deet! I dare you..." skekGra thinks for a while, scratching the nail in his head with a claw. He doesn't want to embarrass Deet too badly, but he wants to give her something. "...to kiss urGoh on the snout."

The Mystic looks startled, but shuffles forward. He smiles slightly, in his slow urRu way. He's enjoying the game, too.

Honestly, she trusts them not to ask her to do anything humiliating. Her standards are pretty relaxed, though; she feels she's among friends.

She blinks at the dare, then giggles. "I thought that was your job," she tells skekGra, but there's no shyness when urGoh comes forward.

"It's all right with you?" She double checks with the Mystic, but the smile seems to indicate he doesn't mind, so she rises up on her knees in the chair she's in and leans over to kiss the top of his snout. It's not unlike kissing one of her fathers on the cheek, except that urGoh smells much more strongly of urdrupe berries.

"Do I get to ask you now?" She smiles at SkekGra. "That's how it works, isn't it?"

[skeksisheretic]

"Yes! That's how the game goes. It's your turn to ask me Truth or Dare."

Judging from the way urGoh is smiling, he liked the kiss. He shuffles back to let skekGra talk to Deet. The round isn't over yet. Now it's their turn, and their trust is shared. skekGra is hard to embarrass, though.

He likes this game, he decides as he wonders what Deet will come up with. urGoh looks a little nervous, thinks the Heretic, but that's probably because the Mystic is somewhat less comfortable around crowds.

"Make...it a...good one." urGoh gives Deet a sly look. Maybe he wasn't so nervous after all.

Giggle! "Truth or dare, then, skekGra?" She has an idea for Truth already, but Dare has so many possibilities in a room with this many people.

"But my dare was so nice, I wouldn't want to be mean to him," she tells urGoh with a wink.

[skeksisheretic]

"Hmmm! Good question!" skekGra thinks over the options. Neither one is bad, and he's curious what Deet would come up with for both. He trusts her not to ask something too probing or embarrassing.

"Truth!" He wants to try something other than Dare, and he is curious about what Deet would ask him.

[vliste_staba]

"Truth!" She's delighted by this choice. "Perfect! I want you to answer...what are your two favorite things about urGoh. Either physical features or personality, whatever you like."

"And I know you're not officially playing urGoh but if you answer about skekGra, I'll make you both some moss-cakes."

Moss-cakes: Better than they sound, she promises.

[skeksisheretic]

"My two favorite things about urGoh? Well...he put up with me for 379 trine, so clearly he's got all the patience of a Mystic. But more seriously, he was there for me when we were tortured and banished by the other Skeksis. He was my only friend...and then we became more than friends."

Since skekMal and skekSa weren't present during the Heretic's banishment, they're the only Skeksis he didn't feel betrayed him. He's got his grudges against the Hunter now, though he respected him once. Both of them shared a distaste for Castle politics and idle talk. It was saddening to realize what skekGra and his fellow Skeksis - his former friends and brothers-in-arms, some of them - had fallen to become, and how skekGra was the only one who wanted to redeem himself.

urGoh gently puts one of his arms around the Heretic to comfort him in his slow way. "I...like skekGra...for his...personality. He keeps...things interesting...for me. And for...the second...he...taught me...about change."
