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?

Balthazar gives Aziraphale a long, bemused look as he chatters, then grins. "You've had a few, haven't you, love? No, no, I approve. Nothing wrong with loosening up."

He's been aware Aziraphale partakes of various treats, liquor included. It's just fun to see him buzzed.

The question of truth or dare, though...that's actually tricky. He's a little afraid if he takes dare he'll end up with a very celestial kind of challenge, like counting all the stars in the milky way or something. "Truth!" he chooses after consideration.

Aziraphale blinks. Had a few what? Parties? No, he means drinks! "The alcohol here is very good," he says by way of explanation. "And I don't think it's possible to be in the same room as Beelzebub and not be at least a little intoxicated."

He says the latter with obvious affection; hard to believe that this is the same Aziraphale who was all in a tizzy over Balthazar being intimate with Lucifer several months ago. He's practically family now.

"Truth," he repeats, furrowing his brows together as he thinks of something to ask. He's actually a little relieved that Balthazar didn't say 'dare', he's not as good at coming up with those, although it would have likely been very ordinary, no counting stars business or other feats of celestial endurance.

After a long moment, the angel's entire face lights up as he comes up with a question that seems suitable for this sort of a parlor game. "Alright! Who was the first human you ever kissed?" Then he sits back, pleased as punch, waiting for his friend to answer.

Balthazar laughs, nodding. "I like him. Actually, I haven't met any yet I haven't liked except Moloch and...under the circumstances I'm trying to stay neutral on him. But Beelzebub is much more fun. Possibly second only to Lucifer, there."

Although Azazael is rather sweet, too. Look at the two of them, celestial angels just settling into the family of Chaos like they belong there!

Now, that's a surprising question! Balthazar blinks and sits back in his chair with a thoughtful look. "Romantically, or platonically? Romantically, it was the nurse that taught me to dance during the first World War. She was darling. All of about 4'11", bit brown eyes, and she always wore a little medallion with Saint Elizabeth on it."

"But platonically...goodness. That must have been the first time I ever walked amongst humans, around the time of King David. I appeared at the edge of a field where there were some shepherd children, and one of them panicked and started running. Tripped on a rock and skinned his little knees, so I kissed them better."

"I like him, too," Aziraphale replies with a bright smile, in case that wasn't already obvious. Although his expression turns pensive when Balthazar brings up Moloch. He casts a brief glance in the sullen angel's direction and clasps his hands together, twisting his fingers. "Moloch makes it nearly impossible for others to like him, but he's already burdened with a terrible curse. He doesn't have as much control over his condition as I first thought."

The angel's voice is soft. The disgust one might expect from him is absent, replaced with something akin to sorrow. But he's quick to shrug that off, once he returns his attention to Balthazar.

Kissing has been on Aziraphale's mind of late, particularly because he's been indulging in it with Crowley quite frequently, and he listens intently to Balthazar's answer. "Oh, I meant romantically," he answers belatedly. "Although that's a very sweet story with the shepherd child. I've given out many kisses like that." He blushes and adds, "The romantic kisses never went so well, as you already know. Well, up until recently."
