TRUTH OR DARE

[cactusy]

1) Post your characters, one per comment.
2) Comment around ICly asking other characters "truth or dare?"
3) Truth is self-explanatory; dares should involve tagging out to another character's top level somehow ("Insult someone you find terrifying", "Tell someone you think is hot one thing you find sexy about them", "Strike up a conversation using the most awkward non-sequitur you can come up with", etc.)

Funny that you think I tell lies.

I don't.

[ He DOES, though usually not outright. He leaves outright lies for other people. ]


I let people think they're right about shit when they aren't sometimes, or I downplay how dangerous things are. So to answer the question for real: withholding info about what I was making when I made gunpowder and then not telling Randvi how actually dangerous it was trying to blow up that stupid ass door.

Or not telling K and Randvi how scared I was when I met Steampunk. Those are maybe tied.

Your go, right? Truth or dare?

[cactusy]

It's less that I assume you've told big ones and more that I wanted to know if you have or not. But phrasing it as "Have you told any serious lies here?" would've let you just say "yes" or "no" and leave it at that.

Truth.

[hyakuoku]

Oh. Huh. Good strategy.

[ Senku's fairly honest overall, probably lucky for him with that question. ]

If you could go back to any point in history where would you wanna go? I might not know the reference if our worlds are all that different, but whatever.

[ He's not good at this game. ]

[cactusy]

Mid-October, 2015.

[It's said immediately, without hesitation or time to think. She sure did have that one ready to go.]

[hyakuoku]

[ He blinks. ]

Well that's specific.

[cactusy]

Hey, you said any point. Sorry if you were hoping I'd wax poetic about the Romans or whatever, but that's my answer.

[hyakuoku]

I wasn't expecting something THAT specific is all.

Truth again.

[cactusy]

Who here do you dislike the most.

[hyakuoku]

[ He laughs, but what else is new. ]

I don't really dislike anyone, but after finding out Ben - Lalo - lied to us, guess it's him.

[cactusy]

Did you see that coming?

[hyakuoku]

The Lalo thing? I had no idea, actually.

[ Senku is great with science and engineering and all that, but he's a little shaky on reading people, especially when he hasn't even met them face to face. ]

Did you?

[cactusy]

I was starting to. But not the extent of it, no.

[hyakuoku]

I missed a whole shit ton of stuff that was going on, feels like. Several people didn't seem all that surprised. He was a little weird sometimes but generally he just seemed like kind of weird.

I don't know what cops are supposed to be like, though...maybe that was part of it. The only cop I know is kind of an idiot.

[ Just kidding though! It was really Senku's shaky people skills. ]

[salamanca]

Trust me, kid: all cops are idiots.

[ We're breezing past the part where you said you disliked him the most, because who cares, and acting like this is a normal conversation. ]

[hyakuoku]

Funny you'd say to trust you. But on this kinda thing, I figure your opinion is good as any. Do you live in the US or Mexico? Maybe cops are all idiots there.

We don’t have that kind of structure anymore.

[salamanca]

[ Lalo laughs and slaps Senku on the back, a little harder than necessary. It's not maliciousness, though, just enthusiasm. ] Hey, you're pretty funny! I like that.

[ Still grinning. ]

Should've clarified! I'm from Mexico, but, uh, I travel up north for work. [ "Work" means drug dealing. ] International man of mystery!

American cops are all idiots. Mexican cops aren't idiots. They're just all dirty. Trust me on that! [ laughs at own joke ]

What kind of structure do you have?

[cactusy]

All gangsters are imbeciles.

[salamanca]

[ LMAO. ]

Awww, what's the matter? Did I upset you, cuata? Perdón.

[cactusy]

I just figured he was a rookie, that's all.

[hyakuoku]

Fair enough.

Your go.

[cactusy]

Okay. Truth or dare?

[obeir]

[ Oh no, Senku. :c ]

It's perfectly understandable to be scared in that kind of situation. I thought it was a bit strange you shrugged it off so easily. Did you just not want us worrying [ even more ] about you?

[ Is this against the rules of the game? Oops. ]

[hyakuoku]

I told you, worse things have happened to me. Once he chilled out it was fine. He's been pretty cool since then.

[ There's that little laugh he does. ]

I don’t want anyone worrying about me.

[obeir]

I know. I've noticed your tendency to always downplay traumatic incidents.

And worrying is an intrinsic part of caring about someone, I've found.

[hyakuoku]

[ SHRUG ]

It's just not a big deal to me.

[ Trauma should be a bigger deal than it is to him but you know! ]

I know. I mean, I get concerned about people too. I just don’t wanna have anyone fuss over me. There's more important stuff to worry about.
