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?

Harley Quinn | Will be considered Canon for Nexus, unless otherwise discussed

[sweetcandygirl]

Here Harley sits, awaiting the first person to ask her a question or give her a dare.

[hesperussword]

It is a very drunk Beelzebub that finds her first, because he needs to check in on his favorite girl, even if he's drunk by his own standards.

"Truth or dare?" Because formal rules of the game are important.

[sweetcandygirl]

Harley knows that Beelzebub would give her a really interesting dare. And that she would end up doing it. But that would happen even outside this game.

So...

"Truth." She wants to know what question is most important to him to ask.

[hesperussword]

It takes the angel time to consider a plethora of questions. He doesn't know Harley as much as he would like to, so he has to filter away the mundane questions that could be asked at any time.

"What about yourself are you most proud of? The thing that when you are down and spent brings back your self confidence and will?" It was an important question for anyone, and one he'd hear from his ward.

[sweetcandygirl]

He doesn't realize this, but this is a very good question to ask right now... especially considering what Harley went through after dealing with Joker a few months back.

"My resilience. The fact that I can take a lickin' and keep kickin'." Harley smiles.

[hesperussword]

"It's a good trait to have." Yes, the angel is proud of her because even if he wasn't there he has an awareness that something horrible was endured recently.

"Do you ask next?" He's not sure how the game is supposed to work, but it seemed fair to be turnabout with it.

[sweetcandygirl]

"Ohhhh I would love to. Truth or dare?" Harley grins.

[hesperussword]

He's already experimented with a dare so. "Truth."

[sweetcandygirl]

"Hmmmmm let's see. What would upset you the most, where you just have to go bazeerk mode?"

[hesperussword]

That gets a huge, drunken laugh from Beelzebub. "That happens all the time. I turned over a police car a couple nights ago."

But she did ask what would be the worst? He takes time to think it over but one thing just keeps revolving back into his mind. The thought makes him nervous but he knows it's true. "Someone attempting to kill you or Galahad."

For different reasons, but both people he was oath bound to and were human which would set off his rage. "I'm oathbound to both of you."

[sweetcandygirl]

"Oh sweet Angel Mine." And even without Cricket's dare, Beelzebub has his own Harley nickname. "I have people trying to kill me daily."

"I wouldn't want you to go uber bazeerk over the life I choose."

"But SERIOUSLY! You still have to introduce me to Galahad. Like soon."

[hesperussword]

He smiles at the nickname but shrugs. "It'd happen once and maybe never again."

War blowingbup was not something anyone wanted to see. He'd held the seraphim, which greatly out ranked him in power, at bay. Humans, even powered ones, were not going last long if he flew into a rage.

However, the comment about Galahad causes his wings to twitch, the equivalent of someone nervously shifting on their feet. "He's here, if you want to."

[sweetcandygirl]

Harley takes Beelzebub's arm in her own, and beams at him. "I would love to meet him. If you cool with it..."

[hesperussword]

"Yes." Beelzebub grins and starts to lead her over to Galahad. His cocky swagger is exaggerated because he's very proud of Galahad. It's taken some time, and pushing from others but he's getting better with the recent changes to his situation.

"Harley, this is Sir Galahad du Lac" Haughty and drunk, but the way he says the human's name is full of affection. "Galahad, this is Harley Quinn, one of those I watch over."

Ward was the proper term but it sounded too juvenile for Harley.

[alittlehinky]

Cricket is a tiny bit beyond tipsy, although he almost never lets himself get so drunk he can't walk straight, because that's a real hazard when you have metal strapped to both legs. As such, his inhibitions are down a little. He offers Harley a drink of his moonshine with a bright, hazy grin, then sits in the chair beside her.

"We ain't talked near enough lately. Truth or Dare?"

[sweetcandygirl]

"We haven't...." Harley takes the moonshine with a bright grin. And savors the taste as she debates her choices.

"Dare." Let's see what Cricket will dare her to do, shall we.

[alittlehinky]

This is the kind of game he and Jack would have played as boys, had they known about it. Cricket takes a minute to think about what kind of dare he would have given Jack, compares it with things Jack did on his own without being dared to, and comes up with something slightly less likely to get anyone in trouble.

"Pick three people in th' room, other than me, and give them the best nicknames you can think of. Silly, embarrassing, whatever."

[sweetcandygirl]

"Easy Peasy... Lemon Squeezy... Quick clarifying question." Harley plays with the ends of her braids. "Do I have to tell those people their nicknames?"

[alittlehinky]

Well, that's an angle Cricket hadn't considered. He rubs the back of his neck, trying to think of how it would work if she didn't tell people their nicknames, and decides that might be too easy.

"You can either tell the people themselves or if you know they got someone in here who'd take up the nickname and run with it, you can tell them. That fair?"

[sweetcandygirl]

"Oh very fair..." Harley winks at Cricket. She has a few ideas that will be a lot of fun.

[Nickname #1. Nickname #2. And to be updated in the morning with Number #3]

[alittlehinky]

Cricket just grins and watches as she goes on her merry way, listening to her assignments from a distance.

She, of course, has the option to ask him Truth or Dare when she returns!

[sweetcandygirl]

After completing her task, (Ian was Number #3), Harley returns to find Cricket.

"That was fun! So your turn! Truth or Dare?"

[alittlehinky]

"Dare!" There is no hesitation. Holy shit, Cricket, how much have you had to drink again?

[sweetcandygirl]

"Alright. My dare to you is to find a willing person... not me, because I would totally do it and that would be cheating... who will you a piggy back ride for 10 minutes." Harley grinned.

[alittlehinky]

His first instinct is to laugh about the dare, because it's cute and harmless and very characteristic of their relationship. Then he starts thinking about who to ask, brow creasing as he looks around the room. Asking any woman (or female-presenting person) other than Harley is right out; they may be more than strong enough, but he's just not comfortable.

His gaze alights on Beelzebub, but the angel of drunkenness is, predictably, three sheets to the wind. Cricket doesn't like his chances of getting dropped there. He has a feeling if he asked skekGra he'd try, but he doesn't know how strong he is and it would be bad if he injured delicate bird-bones.

Thor is the most logical option...and yet.

Fuck it. No guts no glory. He reaches for his jar, takes a swallow, and heads for possibly the last person he's comfortable asking. The boy has a contrarian streak.
