*Sram reappears, dragging along a young woman with red hair and dark skin, dressed in oriental-type robes* Sram: I'm back, and I brought Susirane. Alvis: ...Okay. Why? Sram: So she can socialize. Susirane: Hey, I told you, I'm not ready yet. I'm not even really in the first book. Sram: I know, but we're already way into sequel material here. Ellen showed up, for goodness sake. Besides, the author works best when making characterization decisions on the fly, and forcing you to interact with others is probably going the help. It's for your own good. Now, introduce yourself. Susirane: Um, okay. I'm Susirane Rayakuga. I'm basically a samurai-type character, though I'm also supposed to be the team healer, I think? So far my main traits is being mysterious, hiding my true strength and the fact that I practically never show any emotions other than cheerfulness or mild concern. I probably have some sort of dark past I'm keeping a secret from everyone else. Pleased to meet you all. Ellen: Seriously? Alvis: Aw, come on. This might be fun. Alvis: We're in. Valyan: We are? Sram: Well, the rules seem simple enough. Raxa: So I'll either have to tell the truth or perform a task? That's easy. Susirane: I'm fine with this. Ellen: Oh, okay. Might as well get this over with.
Haruka: *sigh* Great... *He attempt to go into handstanding but fall over right away. He attempt a second time, and manage to get on his hands but fall over again when he tried to move.* Haruka: Yeah, not gonna happen... Gym was always my worst subject back in school. Art class was more my thing. Fuu: The drawing you made of me was really beautiful. Fuu: Haruka would probably say one of the many times I don’t understand his expressions, but... Personally, I must say that it was calling him brainless for getting to close to that rattlecobra. Sure, that was probably more mean than dumb, but I really should have remembered that he had no way of knowing how poisonous they are. Haruka: Let’s see... Who hasn’t gotten to choose... Ah, Niki! Truth or dare?
Niki: The day Luna finally tells us that she was evil the whole time. Luna: Hey! Niki: But seriously, I don't think I could handle it if I lost my parents, Jericho, or Luna. They're basically the reason I'm an actually useful member of society. Gabriel: What about those jumping spiders they have on the Dragonfish continent? Luna: Yeah, those are definitely up there in terms of scary. Niki: Raxa! Truth or dare?
Truman: *Alpha-suit becomes elastic* How 'bout Daffy Duck!! Woohoo! Woohoo! Woohoo! *bounces on head, foot, head, foot, head, foot... *
Haruka: *bursts out laughing* Well, it’s not Bugs, but still damn funny! Fuu: Remember when I said your world sounded interesting? I’m beginning to change my mind...
Fuu: Who was the first person you kissed? Haruka: That was a tough one... It hasn’t really been adressed, actually... I guess you could say I was born 25 years before whenever you read the story?
Isabel: Playing Truth or Dare with a bunch of people from alternate universes, huh? Camila: Not even in the top 10 weirdest things we’ve done. Isabel: …yeah, fair point. Dare me. Sarah: Truth. Alyssa: Truth. Rani: Dare. Katie: Truth. Camila: Dare, just to make it even.
Haruka: Shall I do the truths and you do the dares? Fuu: Fair enough. Haruka: Okay, here goes... Sarah, who of the guys here would you choose to go on a date with? Alyssa, have you ever shoplifted? Katie, what was your favorite toy growing up and do you still have it? Fuu: Isabel, do cartwheels one lap around the room. Rani, yell and act out the first sentense that comes to your mind. Camila, describe what the sky looks like without using the words blue or white.
Truman: Well, if you were born a few generations before The Strike, or a generation after, that's good. Anything in between, not so much. You would have enjoyed a few generations after, I'm sure. Most who walked through my memories say they definitely prefer a generation after. *looks around* Sure would like to catch May in this little game. She did try the Wall of Glue, after all.
