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?

here, have an accident waiting to happen

Loki is keeping out of this for the most part, hanging about the margins of the room. The opportunity that presents itself is too tempting to deny completely, though, and so somewhere in the middle of the evening he slides into the chair nearest Astaroth.

"Truth or dare?"

Honestly he's mostly doing this because he's curious what he'll be asked in return.

Astaroth is seated on a bar stool because chairs are uncomfortable when your legs are so long. He's drinking lightly and mostly listening to the truths others are saying, also seeing who interacts with whom. However, there is a genuine sort of smile when he sees Loki sit beside him. This should be interesting.

Astaroth wonders if it is fair to ask truth when he can lie so much. The curiosity though is too much.

"Truth."

[coldsong]

An odd friendship these two are striking up, but a fitting one. At least Loki thinks so. He returns the smile with one of his own, taking up the barstool next to the angel and resting an elbow on the bar itself. Still annoying to be so much shorter, but he's starting to adapt to it.

"You and I both know the value of a lie," he says. "And conversely, the value of the truth. A story is often neither and both, fiction with a message that lies beneath it. Do you have a favorite story? If so, what is it?"

"Doesn't have to be true, or about you personally."

[starryeyedangel]

The angel takes time with this question. He's a collector of information. Stories were something that facinated Astaroth. The silence goes on for a long time before he finally looks over to address the God.

"Mythology related to constellations." He pauses and clarifies. "More so, the myths that a culture chooses to immortalize in thier sky. I find the way that defines morality to be fascinating."

It wasn't a specific answer, if pressed perhaps he could choose one, but for now it was the most truthful answer he could give.
