Truth or Dare? (open to anyone and everyone)

[Alexandra Patterson]

How Alex outfit and hair looks.

Alex put out the last of the cans of pop in the living room and looked around. Everything was set up to perfection and her guest should arrive any minute now.  After she cracked the door open so they could just walk in she plopped on the couch waiting.  

She expected a good turnout which was awesome. The stress of school had been getting to Alex and she needed to relax a little.  An what better way to do that then call up the track team, drama club, cheerleaders, and a few others to come in her dorm for a last minute game of truth and dare. She knew it was a game for younger kids but she loved it. Plus the way Alex played the game it was at least PG-16 at the most. Okay sometimes it did get a little R-rated but that usually just depended on who was playing.  She was not responsible for the freaky dares some people came up with she just did them. She was hoping they just kept everything PG-13 this time though because she was not in the mood to get caught again. She didn't want to get in trouble for the second time this week which was the only reason they weren't playing 'Never have a ever' instead. Getting caught with liquor and being in detention was not how she planned on spending her weekend. Playing truth or dare wit meta teens made things a lot more interesting though and she knew by the end of the game something big was probably going to happen.

The things I do for fun, she thought to herself. 

[Aryana Darcy]

To say Rya had some weird ass roommates was an understatement. There was oriel, the guy who played footsy and other kinky shit with anything that moved. Kolby sometimes couldn't speak English, and sometimes messed up words with equations and it was just fucking weird. Alex was a bit more interesting, not necessarily odd, but unique. Piercings, a different hair color every day, and shirts that barely covered anything was her staple. But Rya couldn't say she was much different in that department. At least, clothing wise. Oh, and she liked the girl's tattoos.

Rya emerged from her room, moving toward the couch in the common area where basic snacks and such were laid out. Her eyes laid specifically on the sodas, and her brow raised at her roommate.

"Oh come on, this is truth or dare. You have to have something that'll get us drunk." The Brit crossed her legs, leaning back. "With that hair and those tattoos, you have to have something."

[Deleted]

Oriel was on top of this. How could he not be? The last time he'd played truth or dare it had ended in him (and hopefully Jack but he never got confirmation of that) in detention forever after Oriel literally flung himself at Dr. Sean Neville into a loving embrace on the other boy's dare. After that, Oriel had learned his lesson and was more than willing to throw out a sold "fuck you" to a request that was too unreasonable. People had limits, he was learning, and it was no good to ask someone to cross them just for fear of social rejection. Not that Oriel wasn't going to struggle with that, because good god the boy was already a social reject and it stung, but he had better things to do than to satisfy the whims of a green-haired twig and a foreign ho.

Well…honestly, he liked the ho a lot more than the twig. Not only was she pleasing to his eye, she could keep up with him verbally. Than again, Oriel hadn't the pleasure of interacting much with their other fair-sexed roommate, so he could be wrong.

Oriel was already in the kitchen when Rya came from her room, doing those random things he does in there. A sweet smell was emanating from the oven. The mulatto-skinned boy had already long lost the apron and folded it back into the bottom drawer where he kept them. Yes, the kitchen was his domain.

Oriel turned and pointed a mother-like finger at the girl on the couch. "Like fuck. I ain't letting anything stronger than root beer at this gig. You want it, keep it in your room. I see it, it's playing Evil Kenevil right out the window. Capisce?"

[Alexandra Patterson]

Alex looked up to see which one of her roommates had entered. "Oh hey nice to see you to Rya" Alex mumbled sarcastically. "What does my hair and tattoo got to do with it?" she said chuckling. Alex smiled mischievously at her comment though. "Your right though, you know I always have ways to get something to drink. Not to mention my secret stash for emergency. I'm just not sure if getting caught with a bunch of horn-dog,loud, and drunk teens playing truth or dare is a smart idea. Some people don't know how to hold there liquor here but on the other hand drunk teens do make for better secretes". She tapped her chin thinking in till she heard Oriel.

She wasn't sure how she felt about him. He was kind of just there in the kitchen most of the time but right now he seemed like he was going to be such a buzz-kill. Which was something she was not going to put up with. She need to relax and apparently so did this guy.

" Don't be such a goody-two shoes Rachel Ray.  Plus you know sweetheart telling me not to do something makes me want to do it more". Suddenly she smelled something intoxicating. She got up and headed to the kitchen to follow the smell. "It's funny how my brain works like that huh" she said looking at the oven.  She opened it a bit trying to peek inside. "What are you cooking and when will it be done"?

While the interactions had started, Phoenix had been hiding out in Oriel's room, uncertain if he wanted to join in on this little game. He knew of Oriel's roommates, but didn't know them well, and, being the type of person he was, was always a bit nervous around people he was unfamiliar with. He'd told Oriel he would come out if and when he was ready; that time happened to be when he caught a whiff of what Oriel was baking.

He cautiously peeked out just in time to catch the conversation about alcohol, and he focused in on Oriel, saying nothing. Phen wasn't as against drinking as his boyfriend, but that didn't mean he approved either. Still, to stay in neutral territory, he simply skittered out and looped his arms around the boy, half-hiding himself from the other occupants with Oriel's body.

"Cookies, right?" he said after Alex asked what was cooking, his voice quiet and meek as he was unable to meet either Rya or the other girl's eyes. "Smells amazin'." Phoenix continued to hang onto his lover, finally offering a tiny wave to the other two. "I... I dunno if I'll join, but I'll be around." If nothing else, to make sure Oriel behaved himself.... If he could manage.

[Riku Bennett]

Riku was really glad Alex had invited him other little get together. He really needed to meet more people. It was already second semester and he barely knew anyone. Since they would be playing truth or dare, Ricky knew alcohol would be needed. He decided just to bring a small bottle of whiskey. He didn't want to bring beers because they would be too hard to sneak around with. He placed the glass bottle into his backpack and covered it with random things such as boardgames and books. He did this so just in case a staff member decides to just peak inside his bag, they would only see innocent and completely legal things.

As he walked down the hall of the dorm building, Riku wondered what Alex's friends would be like. He assumed they would also be drinkers and partiers but he was curious about their other interests. Ricky remembered the colorfully haired girl saying something about cheerleader and members of the drama and track club being there. He could fit into the creative and athletic type just fine. Before entering the dorm, Riku tried to calm his nerves a little bit by reassuring himself that he would well liked.

Riku took a deep breathe and opened the door. As soon as he entered, he was hit with the unmistakable scent of cookies in the oven. Without, saying a word to anyone, Ricky beelined it over to the kitchen. The closer he got to the oven, the stronger the smell became and the more excited he got. Riku realized that he was just standing there in awe so he decided to greet Alex first. "Hey Alex. Thanks for inviting me! Is this a dry party, because I brought booze." Riku dug the bottle of whiskey out of his backpack to show her. He placed it on the counter and went around to greet the other guests. He started with the girl on the couch because the boys in the kitchen seemed inseparable and Riku didn't want to get between them. He could tell they were a couple by the way the Asian one was holding the other. They seemed like a very cute couple that would be together for a while. "Hey, I'm Riku." The boy plopped down onto the couch. "Ready to spill your deepest, darkest secrets?"

[Alexandra Patterson]

She smiled at the boy. She found him to be very cute and child-like so she wasn't going to force him to do anything she decided. "You have to play with us Phoe I promise you it will be fun. An i'll make sure everyone goes easy on you".

She smiled as Riku who she liked to call Ricky came besides her. She pretty much gave everyone nicknames.  "Hey hot-stuff and I guess its not a dry party anymore" she said looking at Oriel with a smirk as she grabbed the drinks. "Isn't this great Oriel just when I thought we wouldn't have any". She looked at Riku again. "Prince here was worried their wasn't going to be enough to go around. It was his idea for this not to be a dry party. I wasn't sure but he convinced me".
"Ready to spill your deepest, darkest secrets?" she heard him ask to Rya. "Well i'm more of a dare queen so no deep secrets from me tonight but good good question Rya are you ready"? She gave her a evil smile. " Because I can't wait to hear about all the secretes is that pretty little head of yours" she joked...well kind of.

[Deleted]

Oriel rolled his eyes. Clearly this chick didn't know him, otherwise she wouldn't be calling him a goody-two shoes. And if that was the best she could come up with, then she was hardly worth engaging with. "Rachael Ray is a fucking culinary goddess, I'll have you know." He'd totally tap that and then some, even if she was old enough to be his mother. Of course, admitting he knew of the Food Network personality also revealed that he'd watched it enough to know who she was. Oriel took no shame in that.

Phoenix had finally emerged from Oriel's room and Oriel smiled the second the asain boy latched onto him and provided an answer to Alex's inquiry. "Thanks," he said to Phoenix, then to Alex, he sent a firm nod. "Three more minutes." Which was hopefully enough to get her to leave. Though he tensed slightly as yet another person invaded the kitchen drawn over by the smell. Thankfully, this new arrival wasn't there long, though the reason for that had Oriel growling to himself.

Didn't he just say--?

Oriel ignored Alex's taunts. Of course he wasn't going to waste perfectly good whiskey that probably cost money to buy….he tensed his jaw as he turned to his clinging lover and wrapped an arm around him. "Phoenix," he started in a low voice. "Whatever happens, don't let me drink, got it?" In the months they'd been together, Phoenix had yet to see Oriel drunk and Oriel hoped that he never had to. He gave his lover a kiss on the temple then turned to remove the two trays from the oven. Thirty in all. Should be enough, right? He turned off the oven, set them on two plates with a spatula, and brought them over to the circle with one already stuck in his mouth, placing them in the center of the group. "hrrrp yrrrsfff(help yourself)," he garbled.

[Raylaigh Hawthorne]

((I hope you don’t mind me throwing Raylaigh in!))

A party! Raylaigh was excited, he’d only just joined the track team when he heard that something was going down. He’d done swimming last year and since Hammel made one pick between the two he’d decided to switch this year and see if the track people were as exciting as the swimming people. It didn’t mean he’d stopped swimming, his coach wasn’t gonna saw anything if he just happened to show up at practice for a ‘casual’ swim. But track was new and it was exciting. Ray had debated long and hard about coming, and by that he actually thought about it for maybe an hour before he decided to just go and see what was happening. Honestly, he had never been to one of these things before, he’d been invited but his ex had never let him go. Well his ex was gone and good riddance to him! Raylaigh was going to do something he’d never done before and it was exciting.

Raylaigh fluttered his wings for a moment hopping up to reach the box of snacks he kept in his room. It would be nice to bring something right? He still had a bag of unopened pretzels and God knew Ray was going to starve if there weren’t snacks. He was dressed in jeans and a soft tee and because his thin bones tended to get a little more chilled than most people he pulled on a jacket as well. He tied on a pair of sneakers and pumped his little wings before settling then closely against his legs. They were a lot bigger extended than they looked, here they looked just like those little cartoon wings that people attached to feet for track meets. Raylaigh smiled and took a little time to make sure his hair was satisfactory. It was just down the hall and Raylaigh, which offerings of nibbles in his hands. He was excited to meet people and his energy level on a normal basis was high but today it was higher. He probably should have burned off a bit of it before, but oh well. He was nervous too, he wasn’t sure he would be welcomed, he was still very new, he knew the girl who’d invited them by name and face but he hadn’t actually held a conversation with her.

He heard the conversation already inside and gave a light tap on the door before pushing the ajar door open and poking his head inside. It was an interesting crowd and Ray was so excited because his ex would have been so mad that Ray was even at the door. He forced himself to break the threshold and he held out the pretzels as an offering to the girl he recognized. “Hi-ya! I'm Raylaigh, I'm new on the track team, I brought pretzels!” He said brightly, introducing himself in general to the group and letting her know he wasn't just some random person who happened to pop in. Oh dear, Raylaigh just hoped that they didn’t eat him alive.

[Aryana Darcy]

Rya quickly responded to Oriel's words with a scowl and a raised middle finger, "Considering I'm not the housewife in this relationship, I think I can do whatever the hell I please." Though halfway through her statement, her lips turned up slightly to form an amused smile. The Hydro may not particularly like the asshole that was Oriel Vanguard, but he still amused her. He was like a younger brother, well, except younger brothers didn't ogle their sister's breasts. Unless they were seriously, seriously sick.

She turned to Alex the minute she was through speaking to the baker in the kitchen, and tapped her finger to her chin. "Hm, Skittles, but I think that if you have hair that is as colorful as a sun conure, and tattoos, it suggest you have a wild side. If you didn't have booze, I'd seriously reconsider my association with you." Of course, the girl was kidding. Well, sort of. She would be disappointed, highly. Because then she'd have to break out her own stash (that she worked very hard to accumulate, thank you very much), and she didn't want to give it up to the underage pipsqueaks that entered the dorm. Because, as she saw it, she was perfectly legal. The minute she returned home, she'd be able to drink regularly without hassle.

Rya's logic was sound.

But she had to admit, as time went by, the smell of cookies became more and more overwhelming. However, her attention was averted once more at the mentioning of liquor. "Hey, my kind of guy!" The Brit hollered, raising an arm in the air as she cheered. "See, some of you know how to live." She saw him, whatever his name was, beeline to the kitchen. If she had to compliment the Indian for anything, he could bake some fucking incredible snacks. She secretly looked forward to the day where she could get her hands on something he had made. Not that she'd admit it.

Her legs rested on the table, waiting patiently for the accumulating crowd to acknowledge her existence. Riku, as he introduced himself, was the first to do so. "Hey, Honey," She flashed a smile to the other hydro, and a laugh escaped her. "You clearly haven't heard, well allow me to inform you. I'm an open book, I don't have any secrets," That was a lie, "Though I'm sure I can make up something interesting for your pleasure. I'm not really one to leave anything to the imagination, dearest." Her head was then tilted to Alex to respond to her comment. After all, she's seen her walk half naked across the hall to the restroom on several occasions. She had absolutely no shame, or at least that's what she portrayed.

It was Oriel to save the day, dare she say, and brought the cookies to the table. Her hand was the first to reach for one, and she was about to put it in her mouth when she realized there was no milk. "Oh come on, no milk? You're slacking, Oriel. Do I have to get out the whip again?"

Really, Rya shouldn't have said that in the same room as his boyfriend, because that could be taken the wrong way. That, and the Hydro just implied they had some kinky S&M sex at one point, which wasn't the case. Oh well.

She was too busy searching the fridge for milk when the next boy came in, but she paid him no mind. Milk was far more important than pretzels.

[Amanda Joy "AJ" Lane]

AJ should have refused. Well, she did refuse, initially, but Oriel just kept hounding her. And honestly she wasn't really in a place to refuse now, given her lack of friends and social life at the moment, and well...any motivation to do anything. So she'd showed up at his dorm, wondering what kind of people would be behind the door and why on earth they were playing truth or dare. What good ever came of that?

But she'd went anyway, knocking on the door, noticing it was slightly ajar from someone else who'd left it open and walked inside, catching sight of Oriel and Phoenix but otherwise no other familiar faces. "Hi," she greeted shyly.

[Oliver Barnes]

Oliver stood in the unfamiliar dorm room, nearing a panic attack. Okay, so he wasn't a social person. Crowds and parties were never his thing. He held a cup filled with Sprite, thirstily drinking down the liquid. His nerves were getting to him and the stupid game hadn't even started yet. Oliver didn't know why he had even decided to show up. Well, he was here now. Might as well try and last half an hour into the truths and dares.

Everyone already seemed to be talking to each other, which only made Oliver more uncomfortable. If there was a familiar face, then maybe things would be a little easier on him. He held onto his now empty cup, eyes scanning the room. A guy who announced himself as Rayleigh walked in. Oliver didn't know how someone could just call attention to themselves just like that. He 'bro' nodded towards the guy, with a shy smile.

Then.

Oh shit.

No.

Nonononononono.

Oliver dropped his empty plastic cup, watching it hit the ground. Definitely called a bit of attention to himself. He nearly gasped, running a hand through his hair a few times. Shit. AJ. He'd manage to avoid her since he arrived at Hammel in the middle of sophomore year, and up until this point. His phasing ability came in handy at moments like these. Oliver sped walked towards the bathroom, breathing hard. This didn't help the whole social anxiety issue. Hopefully she didn't catch sight of him.

[Nora Graves]

Of course Nora could have another night of hating the world and pretending to care about her homework while avoiding her weird roommates, but she'd heard about a Truth or Dare game down the hall and she couldn't resist. Not because of the actual game. That shit was cliche and a game teenagers played to have an excuse to make out with each other. That was all. But somebody had to be the bullshit detector. After all, how would you know if someone was telling the truth?

She'd situated herself in the corner of the room, munching on a bowl of popcorn to herself. "Well, let's get this shit started," she said as she gave a fleeting weird look to a guy who ran off into the bathroom.

[Deleted]

"Oh, no, really, I think I'll pass," Phoenix meekly told Alex, averting his gaze with his arms still protectively looped around Oriel. He likely wouldn't leave his position the entire night, unless he decided to retreat to their room (which meant he would also try to take Oriel with him - he didn't trust these people, especially the kid that just brought in exactly what his boyfriend didn't want. He squeezed the boy as he murmured in his ear, nodding several times. "Don't worry, I'll make sure you stay nice an' sober," he promised, patting a hand against his chest. "Wouldn't want you t'be too drunk for later, right?" Phen raised a suggestive eyebrow. That, at least, should be some incentive.

He was already starting to dislike Oriel's rather noisy British roommate, though the only giveaway was the slight furrow of his brow when he looked her way. "We're not bringing out the whips," he said simply, with a somewhat cocky tilt of the head as he firmly placed his chin on Oriel's shoulder. "Wouldn't want t'share that with the masses." Nope, that was something strictly reserved for their bedroom, though he wouldn't be surprised if Rya (and any of their other roommates) heard the effects of them late at night.

Phoenix was distracted, though, by a welcome presence, and his face lifted as he bounded away from his boyfriend for a precious moment to wrap AJ in a hug. Maybe it was a little too much, but he just... Wanted to. "Hey," he repeated a little breathlessly, clinging back onto Oriel like a tick after a few seconds. "Glad you could come, I was startin' t'get afraid that I wouldn't know anyone else." This was his common room as much as Oriel's; he practically lived here, too. It was weird to have so many strangers coming in.

As Oriel joined the circle of people, he trailed after, stealing a bite of the cookie in the boy's mouth. Before he sat, though, he ran and grabbed a glass of water for the two of them, just in case. "Here," he offered, raising the glass slightly so Oriel knew Phoenix was watching out for him... In case anyone tried to slip him anything.

[Alexandra Patterson]

She blinked a couple times at the boy as she chewed on one of the cookies. "Gosh your a perky one aren't you"? She gave a friendly smile. "I know who you are Ray. It's hard to forget a face like yours" she said playfully with a wink. Though she could admit he was cute she didn't really like the boy. Sometimes she couldn't help but to flirt it was second nature. "Not to mention being as tall as you are and having those little wings things your kind of hard to forget you know".

She put another cookie in her mouth and looked at the guy walk fast towards the back who also just spilled his drink. She cut off Oliver's path and swallowed the cookie. "Whoa where are you going? The game is that way. Don't tell me your getting scared because right now I agree with miss teenage angst over there. It's time to start the festivities" she said as she nodded towards Nora. It wasn't meant to be a insult it was just she just seemed angsty to her all the time. Not one to remember names Alex just nicked name people with what they remind her of most of the time or just shorten versions of their names. Though she made it a point to at least remember faces and powers. "By the way that wasn't meant to be a insult or anything. I think your name is Aura right? Wait yes your that lie detector down the hall" She smiled at this realization. "No one is safe tonight from dares or truths". This made her happy. Not only did she love a good dare but she also loved a good secrete. "I'm so ready let's go everyone" Alex said addressing everyone as she sat on the couch. "It's time to get this show on the road".

Once everyone came over she started to speak her voice calm as she poured her something to drink. "I'm sure everyone knows how to play the game by now but just in case here are the rules. You pick either truth or dare or double dare. If you pick dare or truth and you don't want to do it you either get hit by everyone in the room four times or take one shots. Double dare is two, so I would chose truth for all you cowards afraid of a dare. An their no need to lie for truths because miss thing over there is a lie detector and we will know. Which by the way will also have the same consequences as not answering the truth at all. If you lie you get hit or take a shot. So everyone, besides Phoe of course, who don't want to play or are too scared of a little truth or some hardcore dares get the hell out my dorm now. For those of you who are staying lets do this". She smirked mischievously and downed her whole cup of whisky. "B.T. W we are going counter clockwise from who ever starts so who wants to be first"?
