second; but you don't realize it yourself

Video;

[So, since no one discouraged spamming the network, Rose is posting, again. This time, she's indoors, at a shiny new apartment.]

Sooo, hey. I figure, I'm new here, some of you are new here, some of you are old hats, whatever. We should break the ice! And by that I mean I'm super bored. So. I'm having a party! Matisse, Genessia City, Room 102. Best way to break in a new apartment, right? Right. I've got snacks, soda, movies, and most importantly, we're gonna have a bunch of rounds of Truth or Dare and stuff like that. Everyone's invited as long as you have your magic pendant-y thingy. Don't think too hard about that part, please. See you soon! I hope? Seriously, everyone should show up, please.

Action;

[Rose has, true to her word, gotten a big party setup going in her apartment. Soda, snacks, etc of various types are around, she's got a bunch of extra chairs, the apartment is clean, there's some movies playing in the background for noise, and now she's just waiting for people to arrive.

If you arrive very early, you might hear her muttering to herself:]

Was this a mistake after all, are people really going to come, it's going to suck if I bought all this and no one shows, but it's probably fine, people here are friendly, but maybe....

[... Yeah.]

TRUTH OR DARE

[polyheroic]

[There is a table for people to hang out and play the game! And for those who don't know it, there's a sheet of paper on the table explaining the rules.

Reply to this with your character, tag out to others here, etc.]

[serrata]

[ Yuuri's not exactly a party animal, but if she's going to be stuck here for however long then it makes sense to get to know people. And besides, she's no stranger to breaking the ice with party games. ]

Truth or dare?

[ She certainly sounds innocent enough as she says it but... w–what's this sinister aura in the air??? ]

[robodorable]

Let's try Truth first.

[polyheroic]

.... Uhhh.

[why is this lady setting off her danger alarms... what's going on. this is fine. what.]

T.... ruth....?

[sacrament_of_blood]

If I understand this game correctly, this would be where I select to tell a truth or do a daring deed. So, I shall say truth.

[mynameisallen]

Truth... I guess.

[burnt_offering]

[Wow... She's something else. That feeling is very nearly frightening.]

Gonna go with truth on this one.

Re: TRUTH OR DARE

[robodorable]

[One person how familiar to Rose, Gynoid Support Unit 24, would have shown up alongside Silicon. She didn't particularly need prompting to understand that she was to aim to enjoy herself - indeed, social events like this were well in her range, though multi-millenia-old social mores training obviously required... Adaptation to more modern parties.

In spite of this, she was still dressed in her full showy outfit, just because she wasn't sure about anything else yet.

And so, as she'd sat at the table and reviewed the words, she paused.]

This unit should probably be concerned, huh?

Nonetheless... Truth or dare?

[polyheroic]

Truth! Or! Dare!

[AND HERE'S ROSE HERSELF, GETTING INTO THE SPIRIT OF IT...]

[phobophage]

What'll it be? Will you brave a dare or a truth?

[om_nom_namur]

A'ight somebody. Pick yer poison, truth or dare?

[greatprecious]

[It took a lot of encouragement for Myrrh to attend. A chance to make friends, they said. Though for the whole time, she idled away with her large wings wrapped around herself until it was her turn! Oh the horror.]

Umm... Truth?

[trollkeru]

I will bite on this one, but I will warn you the dares might not be easy.

[He might also troll you should you choose to accept a dare.]

So Truth or Dare?

movies

[polyheroic]

[Had enough of Truth or Dare? No you haven't. Get back over there.

Or come hang out at the couch, where there's some cheesy-ass sci-fi action movie playing. Cyborgs with laser-swords fighting robot wizards and shenanigans of that sort.]

[immortalsoul]

[Silicon is just OVER THE MOON with excitement. She's been curled up on the couch with her eyes glued to the screen since she got here.]

Amazing...! You don't suppose they paid cyborgs from Nova to perform in this, do you?

[burnt_offering]

[Ace is all but glued to the screen, his attention fully on the movie. This is so cool, he never gets bored of stuff like this. He's constantly impressed with how amazing films are.

With Ace though, it's more about the fun than the quality. And he has very little care for how the acting is, or how real it looks, as long as it's amusing.]

snack table

[polyheroic]

[A place to stuff your face, or possibly take ill-advised dares. Rose wasn't sure what people would want, so she got a bit of everything. So she has sodas of all flavors, many kinds of chips and popcorn, and a bowl labelled 'Russian Roulette Snack Bowl'. It's a bunch of different flavors of chips all mixed in together. Including some that may be made of ghost peppers. Good luck!]

[mynameisallen]

[And to no one's surprise, Allen is happily eating. He had managed to take a risk with the different flavor of chips and still look like it didn't affect him. Mostly because it went down his throat quickly with not much time for the spiciness to hit him.

However, after managing to somehow pick up a good number of them, the effects of them soon started to show.]

Does... someone have water? [He had never really had anything quite like it before. But his eyes were watering as he tried to look for a glass.]

[priceofmagic]

[Satou isn't very good at "real teen" stuff. She came to correct that, but instead migrates to the snack table. The party looks like a lot of fun, but she isn't sure how to engage with it. Maybe if Katsuki or Sync was here, Satou could feign confidence and leap into the fun. Instead, she watches with her Espurr on her shoulder.]

Oh, to be young. [she's sixteen.]

[burnt_offering]

[Ace has been happily stuffing his face, but now is focused on that bowl of roulette chips, looking through carefully to see if he can figure out by appearance which ones are spicy and which ones aren't.]

[serrata]

[ Parties aren't usually Yuuri's thing – well, okay, that's a bit of a fib. Parties with strangers aren't really Yuuri's thing and even though it's not hugely crowded in here, it still feels a little cramped. But she's handling it. And more importantly, she's doing her best to mingle – she's mostly attending the party as a way of getting a feel for the sorts of people she's stuck here with.

Which is why, at some point during the night if you're not busy, you'll find Yuuri sidling up to break the ice a bit; ]

It looks like we really are all pendant holders here, then. Are you new, or have you been here for a while, if you don't mind me asking?

[ When she's not chatting with other partygoers, you might catch her wallflowering a bit. She's better with strangers now, but that doesn't mean she's great with them, especially with how big of an upheaval this has been. What's curious though is that even though she doesn't seem to approach the snacks or drinks at any point, she does seem to occasionally have food or a drink on her. Hm. ]

[heribbon]

[Mami was actually at a party! And it was exciting at first, but its grown to be a little overwhelming, she eventually found herself towards the edge of the party so she could take a breath.]

This is my first night actually. What about you? Have you been here awhile?

I'm Mami Tomoe, by the way. It's nice to meet you.

*bangs pots and pans together* Presents! Roland's got presents!

[theyseemeroland]

Roland has presents, because that's how his mama raised him, if you're invited to a party you bring a little something for the host. (He also attempted to get his dragon daughter to come along, to get her out of her shell a little, but how successful he was on that front is yet to be seen.) The first present is just a bag of snacks he brought along that soon join the others on the table, but the second is a bit bigger and fancier: Genessia's equivalent of a Keurig, along with enough coffee/cocoa/tea to last a month or so, depending on how much she drinks.

"A housewarming present," he explains.

But once he's settled into the party, he's content to just sit and people-watch, surreptitiously keeping an eye on things to make sure things don't get too out of hand. And though he might look like a young man, everything about him... from the way he talks and holds himself, his taste in snacks and drinks, even the way he sits, leaning back with his legs crossed, one ankle resting on the other thigh, elbows propped up with fingers interlaced... well, the phrase "wise old uncle" comes to mind.

[polyheroic]

[PRESENTS!!!

Rose isn't a greedy person, not really. She wants things, sure, but that doesn't normally control her. But here she is, with no impulse control, having completely ignored anything like a budget, and has no job... Well, being given stuff is a pretty big deal at the moment.

She's got stars in her eyes as she takes the Genessiceurig, almost reverently.]

Thank you so much you're my new favorite person here hi I'm Rose it's nice to meet you.

[all of that definitely came out in one breath. so.]

[Video]

[burnt_offering]

Hey! Count me in. I'm never turning down a chance to party. Want me to bring anything?
