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.)

Thanks. Hopefully you feel better about all of it eventually, no matter what you choose.

Oh yeah, I get that too. Staying together “for the kids” doesn't seem to actually work out for the kids, most of the time. Even if it's never bad bad, it's never good either.

I couldn't be the person she wanted me to be, and I got a bit bolder about it once I was away at school.

[ Well, now she's even more curious. ] What kind of person did she want you to be?

[desperate_times_right]

A normal one. I wasn't Australian enough, or Christian enough, or straight enough... Anything, really.

That sucks. Your mom sucks. [ Maddy and her mom don't always see eye to eye, and sometimes it's frustrating, and truthfully... sometimes she does think her mom wishes she had a different type of daughter. But she doesn't think her mom would disown her. Not like that. ]

So, like, are you ever going to go back and rub it in her face? That you're doing fine without her?

[desperate_times_right]

Probably enough revenge that someone with her last name is famous for the kind of stuff I'm doing.

[somethingintangible]

She should just be happy you didn't decide to become a stripper or something. Like, what would she have said then?

[desperate_times_right]

Is that really worse than hooking up with a guy so I can sleep on concrete?

[somethingintangible]

No. It's probably better. Strippers make bank. But it's more public.

[desperate_times_right]

Okay, yeah. That's fair. One of her relatives might have seen me.

[somethingintangible]

[ Smug! ] See? I told you.

I'm glad I met you. You're cool.

[desperate_times_right]

[Take that, Shaw!]

Thanks. You too. Don't let that guy and his family get you down.

[ Chloe gets a hug! ]

Can we talk more? Later. In private. There's some shit I want to tell you that I can't say in public here. About him.

I feel like you might understand.

[Chloe’s a little taken aback, but hugs her back]

Yeah, sure, any time.
