Game 2, Day 3

[kentucky_mcgiygas]

[ Did everybody sleep well? At promptly 6 AM, or at least what the tablets proclaim to be 6 AM, Ronald bursts in with the morning announcements. ]

Good morning, kids! Today we have a fantastic new game for you to play, and we think you'll have a lot of fun! It's fun, it's a classic, iiiiiiiiit's



[ The feed switches off, but only for a second before flicking back on so Ronald can add: ]

Oh, by the way, Seven died trying to escape.

I don't know where the hell the rest of our family was. I just know they weren't around. We were probably black sheep, considering.

[ Please don't ask why 'considering', he thinks. ]

[meatitfeedson]

I can relate to that.

[She assumes it's something to do with his parents' deaths, but as much as she's curious, maybe she'll save it for a truth question, or another time entirely. He could probably use more light-hearted topics.]

Truth or dare?

[jinglebros]

[ Relief! ]

Dare this time. Hit me hard, I want to rack the points.

[ He thumps his chest to add emphasis. ]

[meatitfeedson]

[She grins, raising an eyebrow.]

Me too, don't worry about embarrassment or safety for either one.

Okay, I want you to find an outfit similar to Lotus's and get her to give you belly dancing lessons, right on the main set for everyone to see.

[jinglebros]

[ Gaaaaaapeeeees. ]

[meatitfeedson]

Go hard, Kurashiki. Show me your moves.

[jinglebros]

...help me find the outfit?

[ He grabs a bottle of rum and swigs real big to prepare. M I S T A K E registers on his face afterwards. ]

[meatitfeedson]

Absolutely!

[...If he's going to be like that, she's pouring a big glass of water to bring along too. Gotta mom the shit out of this kid.]

[jinglebros]

[ He wobbles some as he goes along because of the various punches and bruises from people hitting him. Also, now: see booze. ]

[meatitfeedson]

[He doesn't seem that drunk when talking to him for all this wobbling, it immediately makes her suspicious, and she doesn't hesitate a second in supporting him with an arm around and under his shoulders.]

Are you alright?

[jinglebros]

[ He taps his head and then winces, there's already a few knots there. He leans into her. ]

Took a few for the team.

[meatitfeedson]

[She sighs, shaking her head.]

No more of that then, if you really need to I'll take a few for the team instead.

[jinglebros]

But that's not the point.

[ He covers his mouth. He doesn't want to admit to being self destructive right now. ]

[meatitfeedson]

Do you think that's going to make Seven happy? Or that it will make your pain go away? Because it won't, even for a second.

[jinglebros]

It hasn't yet. But passing out was pretty okay.

[ He exhales sharply at himself. ]

[meatitfeedson]

......

[And he wonders why she worries.]

Aoi...

[It's hard to say much when she knows she can't talk after implying she might kill herself if Rudolf died. But even so.]

Passing out definitely isn't good. I'm not big on discipline but if you're going to put yourself in danger then maybe I'll have to.

[jinglebros]

...

What do you mean by that.

[ He stares. ]

[meatitfeedson]

Well, you know, I might not have gone to school, but I learnt a lot of practical skills... We had this underground tea room to invite troublemakers to...

[jinglebros]

...okay...?

[ He's considering backing up, but he can't do that when she still has a hold on him. ]

[meatitfeedson]

[IT'S TORTURE, SANTA]

...Or I could just send you to sit in a corner for a few minutes and think about how putting yourself in danger doesn't just hurt you but the people who care about you too. Like June.

[jinglebros]

...sure. That one.

[ Would it actually do any good, though? He can't really think straight at the moment.

One has to wonder. ]

[meatitfeedson]

Well, distraction is likely the best way to go about it.

[So she's just going to make sure he gets to the costume room to be distracted by embarrassment, hopefully.]

Now then...I think blue would look good on you.

[jinglebros]

[ HE IS SO GLAD SHE DIDN'T TRY TO SPANK HIM OR SOMETHING HE WAS SO AFRAID ]

I used to wear blue a lot. I dunno why I stopped.

[meatitfeedson]

[She can joke about it but she'd never..... She hates being disciplinary, the most she could do is tug on an ear or give an elbow to the ribs jokingly. Some people react to strict upbringing by doing the same, some decide anarchy is better.]

You got too cool for colours.

[jinglebros]

[ He glances around the costume room until he spots a blue scarf and wobbles towards it, grabbing it. ] Used to wear one like this. Then I burned all my clothes I'd been wearing when... bad stuff happened.

[ He shrugs. (spoilers) He'd figured if he couldn't go up in flames with her, he might as well have gotten rid of his former self the same way ]
