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?

He can't resist

[the_rebel_son]

"Hello princess." Lucifer has a pair of wine glasses, one he offers to Leia. "Are you playing tonight or just watching the madness?"

Why should he?

[solobutnotalone]

"Hello charming one." She smiled and took the wine with a nod of thanks. "I suppose I am. Assuming I don't get into too much trouble. And you?"

[the_rebel_son]

She gets a kiss on the cheek for that smile, though it is just a friendly peck. "I am too much trouble, but I will play if you do."

[solobutnotalone]

Leia smiled at the kiss, stroking his cheek after. "Fair exchange. How exactly is this game played?"

[the_rebel_son]

"It is a child's game." Lucifer informed her but that didn't mean it wasn't fun. "You ask a person 'truth or dare' and they respond. If it is truth, then you can ask a question that must be answered honestly. Dare, you can dare them to do something."

Lucifer shrugged. "I will even be a gentleman and let you ask me first."

[solobutnotalone]

But what to ask, indeed. That was a wide open playing field but that can be a trap as well. If anyone could over think a child's game it's Leia. "Well, I suppose bot a truth or a dare could be equally dangerous if handled inelegantly." So it required some thought. Perhaps she should start simply.

"Alright, truth or dare?"

[the_rebel_son]

"You are playing with the devil." And he's teasing but it is true.

"Truth."

[solobutnotalone]

Oh she has gone round with him on this discussion before. But for whatever reason she has no fear of him.

"Very well, so tell me the truth. What is the one thing people misunderstand about you the most?"

[iwillcatchup]

Peter was just dared to do something creatively entertaining, and decided that Leia was a good enough option to test the water with. He didn't know her. And she didn't know him. So that in itself would be entertaining.

"Sup!" Peter gives her a slight wave, as he approached. "Ever want to learn how to do The Cabbage Patch? Or the Robot?"

[solobutnotalone]

"Hello." Leia turned with a smile to the young man she hadn't met before. And then blinked with an utter lack of comprehension as his following words. "I.. don't know. I'm not sure what those things are." She paused. "Well I mean I know what a robot is, droids are common place after all, but I get the feeling this isn't the context you mean." But it seems as though she is encouraging him o enlighten her.

[iwillcatchup]

"This is precious." Peter grins. "The Robot I meant is a dance..."

He holds out his walkman to her, and places the earphones over her ears. And presses play. And then he starts to break into a Robot dance to the music that plays. To show her what he means.

[solobutnotalone]

Leia listened, the music was far from anything she'd heard before but it had a very strong beat and that seemed to guide the rest of the music. And then she saw the man dance..well not dancing like she'd seen but he surely looked like what it might be if 3PO had ever tried.

She smiled, she laughed and then shook her head. "How do you do that?"

[iwillcatchup]

"See... I totally have to teach you." Peter grinned. Glad that Leia enjoyed the dance.

He stepped closer, and reached out his hand. "May I?"

[solobutnotalone]

"Alright, show me." Leia nodded and took his hand. Unsure how she was supposed to learn something like that but willing to try. And his attitude of fun was contagious.

[iwillcatchup]

"So the best way to think... is like you are a robot. Or your joints are stiff. So make this one arm like stiff. And bent it at the elbow..." Peter moves to gently guide Leia into the dance move.

[solobutnotalone]

Leai tried her best to follow his instructions, she watched him and imagined her arms and legs and all joints mechanically operated like 3PO. It worked to a degree. While she was no where near as convincing she did at least seem to get the general gist of it.

[malcolmeffect]

Ian is always looking for a beautiful woman to share his company. When he sees this one he can't help himself, even if this is mildly embarrassing. He even based the song he sings randomly at this guest on the nickname he was given during Harley's dare

[solobutnotalone]

Leia was completely surprised by the serenade, and completely delighted. She smiled broadly and at the end gave an enthusiastic round of applause for his efforts. "That was very creative of you."

[malcolmeffect]

Ian laughs, a snort of self amusement at the applause. "I...uh.. made it up awhile ago for my daughter when she was sick."

"Dr. Ian Malcolm, and you are?" Of course he is going to introduce himself to the woman with a truly beautiful smile.

[solobutnotalone]

"Oh, that's charming." Leia smiled yet again and extended a hand to him. "Princess Leia Organa, it's a pleasure to meet you Doctor Malcolm."

The fact that he wrote the song for his child was incredibly sweet.

[malcolmeffect]

"Princess?" He takes her hand and kisses it because who can resist kissing a princess' hand? "Where.. uh.. yeah, where are you princess?"

He had been around enough to know the answer might be mind boggling. Some small part hoped it was something strange.

[solobutnotalone]

The chivalrous act earned a raised brow and inclined her head. "My home world was Alderaan." Past tense, she spoke on to save him the awkwardness of asking. "It's gone now."

[malcolmeffect]

Ian's research told him everything eventually broke, planets included. However, it was a bit different meeting someone who had experienced it.

"Uh.. I'm sorry." What else could you say to someone who just revealed their planet was gone.

[solobutnotalone]

"Thank you, but the survivors have banded together and we're doing what we can to honor the memory. Perhaps I should have someone write a song, seems to have worked well for you." She was trying, in her very diplomatic was to steer the conversation way from talk of sad things and not make him feel obligated to further discuss what happened.
