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.)

[It's not that she doesn't have secrets, but she does NOT want to see what kind of unhinged dares this guy can cook up on the first go]

Truth.

[salamanca]

[ Why does everyone think his dares will be so bad? It can't possibly be because he's insane, can it? ]

How do you think love is supposed to feel?

[desperate_times_right]

[Okay, not where she was expecting that to go]

I don't know, like… like you always know they'll have your back no matter what. You don't even think about it. And you want to support them too, even if what they're doing is stupid or won't get you anything.

I guess.

Truth or dare?

[salamanca]

[ A man of many surprises. ]

Truth!

[desperate_times_right]

What would it take for you to screw us over? Me and Taissa.

[salamanca]

If my family were here, and I had to choose between one of you two and one of them — I'll always choose my family over anyone else.

Your turn. Truth or dare?

[desperate_times_right]

Okay yeah, that's fair.

Let's try a dare.

[salamanca]

[ He grins. That's the spirit! ]

I dare you [ pause; like he's thinking about it. For Chloe, it's gotta be something good ]...

Te reto to read the private messages of someone you don't talk to very much. How you do it, that's up to you. You can convince them to let you do it, you can steal their device and read it, however you wanna do it.

I know you can do this! You're the girl for this.

[desperate_times_right]

Hm. Okay. What's the penalty if I wind up being as subtle as you were with my ass earlier?

[salamanca]

Simple! You have to dance with me.

[desperate_times_right]

You know I’d just do that if you asked me, right?

[salamanca]

Sí. It's more fun this way.

[desperate_times_right]

Okay. If I hit the right sap I might not even have to work for it. Be right back.

[desperate_times_right]

[Chloe bounds back, grinning]

I read them, but he didn't have anything in there. Does that count?

[salamanca]

Mmmm. Now that depends.

[ He reaches out, to gently put a couple fingers under her chin and tilt her head upwards slightly to look at him. Then he winks. ]

How much do you want to dance with me?

[ If it were someone younger and more naive, he wouldn't go this hard, but he trusts Chloe to take this in the spirit it's intended, which is: all in good fun. ]

[desperate_times_right]

[Chloe snorts, which kind of ruins the image.]

It's a penalty, I'm not supposed to want to.

[Unless…]

Actually, yeah. Help me out with another dare.

[salamanca]

[ It for does ruin it, but Lalo's good-natured enough to laugh it off. He withdraws his hand and shrugs. ]

Then we'll say it counts!

[ He does look intrigued when she seems to change her mind, though. ]

Eh?

[ He extends both arms, like he's about to guide her in a waltz. ] Like this? [ He's not sure what kind of dancing she had in mind, but if this isn't her speed, he's open to redirection! ]

[desperate_times_right]

[Chloe sketches a ridiculous little bow, then takes his hand.]

A kid dared me to make Taissa jealous, so you can be rude about it.

[salamanca]

[ Exaggeratedly, he guides her in a twirl. And then dies laughing. ]

You are kidding me!

[ This is apparently the funniest thing he's ever heard. Well, shit, if she's giving him permission! He's clearly amused, buuuuut... there is a hint of fear in his voice, too. ]

Now how jealous are we talkin' here? Between you and me, I'm not trying to get myself killed. Again. So soon. [ He gives just a brief glance in Tai's direction. ]

[desperate_times_right]

[Chloe’s laughing too]

Welllll, she did promise me bonus points if she chases you off herself.

[salamanca]

[ Lalo's eyes practically bug out of his skull in a panic. ]

What???!

[desperate_times_right]

Come on, it'll probably be easy! She's already steaming because I answered her question.

[salamanca]

[ Lalo looks scandalized. Yeah, he's sure it would be easy and that's the problem!

But he obligingly dips her. Against his better judgment: ]

What question?

[desperate_times_right]

You were there. [He had grabbed her ass right after.] You sure you want to go there while you're this close to me?

[salamanca]

[ ...Good point. Cartoonishly, he waggles his eyebrows, then: ]

Non.

[ He takes a big step. Lalo is a good dancer, but waltzing isn't exactly his strong suit. He's competent enough for this, though. ]

So! Come here often?
