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?

Phenex can't resist an author, and honestly they hadn't spoken to anyone yet. It was almost as fun watching the chaos that was happening, rather than participate.

"Good evening." They address her with a smile. "Are you playing this child's game or observing as I have been?"

[higginbottom]

Esther smiles a little. She's had a few drinks.

"Actually, I'm thinking of playing," she admits. "Why not?"

[devilsphoenix]

"I've considered participating, too." Phenex hasn't been drinking but loves to be social. It's worth the risk. "Truth or dare, then."

[higginbottom]

Esther shrugs.

"Truth. Why not?"

A couple drinks more, and she might've gone for the dare. But she's feeling bold in a different way right now.

[devilsphoenix]

Phenex thinks on the concept and then smiles. "Will you tell me a story that is your own; one you have written or unwritten?"

[higginbottom]

Esther's face darkens, and she feels like she's suddenly sobered up.

"I can," she says slowly. "It might be hard to hear, though."

[devilsphoenix]

Phenex sympathizes and reaches out to take the woman's hand. "I have passed through much darkness. I am willing to listen to anything you want me to hear." They pause and then motion toward the nearby chairs. "Shall we sit?"

Phenex had a way with artists and discoverers when they experienced hardships, pain and sadness. Sometimes, their mere presence could calm and soothe such pains without effort.

[higginbottom]

Esther nods and moves towards the chairs.

"That might be best," she says. While she's grateful to be comforted, she's still a little nervous about telling her story. Besides, she doesn't want to upset Phenex.

[devilsphoenix]

Phenex motions to a pair of chairs against the wall and away from the more boisterous darers. "Can I gt you something to drink before we start?"

The angel is well aware that it may be difficult to speak and that it depended solely on what the woman choose. It seemed polite to offer.
