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.)

[ She's starting to get that, based on the "bullies at the orphanage" comment.

Inside, Maddy's heart breaks. ]

I guess. [ She's only in a position to guess, having never been in an orphanage. ] Just because something is normal doesn't mean you have to put up with it, though.

It's okay. We can start small. Like, let's start with... what would say if somebody bumped into you on accident and didn't say sorry?

[solitarysoul]

Well...if its an accident...then its fine.

[He would apologize himself.]

[somethingintangible]

I mean, yeah. If it's just an accident, you don't wanna start a big fight over it. But they should still say "excuse me" or something.

[solitarysoul]

Yeah but...they don't have to. It was probably [completely] partially my fault anyway.

[somethingintangible]

See, that's the problem. Don't assume something was your fault. Most people are already assuming things aren't their fault, so if you just assume everything is, you're gonna get blamed for shit you didn't do.

So, like, if someone bumps into you and doesn't say anything, you don't have to yell at them or anything. But you can give them a look and say, like, "Excuse me," in kind of a judgy tone, so they know you're annoyed.

[solitarysoul]

Um.

[Levi fidgets, scratching nervously at an arm.]

I-if you say so.

[It was probably his fault, though. Even if it wasn't what did it hurt, he had so many other things wasn't really he really was to blame for.
He's not really sure what a 'judgy tone' would sound like, anyway.]

[somethingintangible]

Okay, so, like, we're gonna practice. You bump into me, and I'll show you what to do.

[solitarysoul]

U-uh...

[Bump into her. Right. He can do that...he can do that right? Just bump...not slam. Not attack, just...touch. Lightly. He can...he can do this.
He bites his lip for a few moments before taking a deep breath and moving. He passes by her, brushing her about as lightly as one could while still actually touching.]
