[DarkRawen]

Sol went from chuckling at Vik's story to listenting intently to both Mira and Sierra, before chuckling at the sheer awkwardness between Sierra and Will. He wondered if Sierra had been intending to fool Will into giving her a kiss on the mouth, which would've probably ended up ruining the mood somewhat, at least if Will got nervous.

Or. I don't know, more nervous.

"Sol..Truth or dare?"

"I'd say dare, but honestly, there's not an awful lot of fun things I can do without moving around, so... you know. Truth. Give me your worst, or something like that."

Honestly, a more mundane question could potentially be more difficult for him to answer than just one about embarrassment.

 

[Outcast107]

Will sat there a bit trying to think of a good question. Should I asked him about his hunting career? Should I just ask something easy? Thinking it over as he found something he wanted. "So Sol..Do you ever plan to retired or quit being a hunter in the future?" Will asked as he thought that was a good question. Nothing about his past that he might not want to talk about, and something to look forward too.

 

[DarkRawen]

"So Sol..Do you ever plan to retired or quit being a hunter in the future?"

Sol raised an eyebrow, the question was surprisingly... well, normal. It felt like it was a question asked 20 years too early, at the very least, but he shrugged. "I have no idea, I never was one for planning."

He was quiet for a bit, not sure of who to choose next, but decided he'd answer the question a little more thoroughly first.

"I suppose I should say a little more, huh. Explain a bit. Well, you see, I wasn't born into a family of hunters or something like that. I must've been... 20, no, 21 when I found out there even was something to hunt, before that I believed the entirety of the world was what I saw, nothing supernatural, not even a god. Just me, and a world weighted against me. I did choose to become a hunter, but it was the lesser of two evils. Either that, or running. Of course, I had skills that fit well in with such a lifestyle, but I made the decision in one day, out of need." He scratched his chin, an earnest expression on his face.

"So, you know. I never knew I'd be here. I imagine I'll probably retire when I have to, or when it seems fitting, if I don't die first, but I never really thought that far. My former goal was to become rich, buy a big house and live in luxury, never having to worry about money, but that's not really how it goes with being a hunter. It's more of a lifestyle. And I don't think a normal life with, I don't know, a spouse, perhaps a kid or two, a suburb house, a 9-5 job, would be my kind of thing. I'd be extremely bored."

I wonder if I would quit if I married Luke.

Probably not, he'd tone it back a little, no running around taking jobs in India or South America, but he'd still be a hunter. "I suppose I might tone it down to only doing a few jobs every couple of months though, if I married someone really amazing." He smiled, thoughtfully.

"Anyhow, my turn to ask someone. And, since we're all great friends here, I'm going to go ahead and chose the person who hasn't been asked yet. Juliet, truth or dare?"

 

[IFS]

"Anyhow, my turn to ask someone. And, since we're all great friends here, I'm going to go ahead and chose the person who hasn't been asked yet. Juliet, truth or dare?"

"Dare," she said "and regarding your rules I'm up for quite a bit so feel free to be creative."

She felt saying dare was more fitting to the spirit of things considering she doubted she'd answer most questions truthfully. Any questions about her past or childhood could be unpleasant after all, they didn't trouble her much but discussing growing up in hell might be uncomfortable for the others. Might say truth next time, we'll see.

So far the game had been enjoyable, learning little tidbits about the others was amusing to her and the others actually talking and opening up was making the occasion more enjoyable.

 

[DarkRawen]

"Dare, and regarding your rules I'm up for quite a bit so feel free to be creative."

"Oh, you should not have said that," Sol said, grinning. "Now I'll have to get really creative..." He looked at her, thinking it through. Part of him wondered exactly what he'd need to make her feel hesitant, to make it like an actual dare. That meant challenging her.

Creative, huh.

There wasn't an awful lot they could in that place didn't involve one of the others.

Perhaps ask her to seduce someone? It would be interesting to see exactly how a demon does it.

Of course, that would mean putting someone through something they either were uncomfortable with, or too easily caught up in.

Unless... Oh, Sol, you bad boy, you have a boyfriend.

Which made him the perfect target, a good, pointless target for her to try to conquer. Dares weren't supposed to be easy or fun, they were supposed to be difficult or embarrassing. Besides, he'd said no sexual behaviour and he meant it, so it wasn't as if he'd tell her to kiss him or anything like that. It would all be innocent play.

Besides, I can play a bit of that game as well.

"I have one, though it's going to sound a bit peculiar, but you said creative, and believe me, this one is. You're going to try to seduce... me." He pointed at himself, grinning.

"Yes, me, with the boyfriend. I am bisexual, though, so it's not impossible, far from it. Besides, I'd never cheat, and this stuff isn't such a big deal either way, so it'll simply be a challenge between two friends." He looked at her with an innocent expression.

"It won't be easy though, and you won't gain anything out of it if you fail, wouldn't be a good dare if you did. You'd also look like a pretty bad succubus. However, if you get me at least a little hooked, a little warmed up, I will do you a favor. Nothing sexual or something that would be considered actual cheating, but a favor of mine can be worth quite a lot, if you know how to use it. You can use as much or as little time as you want, physical touching up to a kiss on the cheek is fine, but if you're not comfortable with me having a boyfriend, you can simply use words. Oh, and don't believe I'm getting anything out of this, I simply believe I'm the most difficult target that would agree to this, and I'm confident in that you won't manage it."

He crossed his arms, a cheeky expression revealing that he was pleased with himself. "How's that for a dare? Feel free to make me think of something else, but I'd say it's pretty damn creative."

 

[IFS]

"How's that for a dare? Feel free to make me think of something else, but I'd say it's pretty damn creative."

"Are you sure Luke would approve?" she said teasingly "not that its any of my business of course."

She thought for a moment about whether or not to accept the dare, of course her claiming to not be comfortable with it would be a lie but she had no difficulty with lying. Still it sounded amusing and harmless enough, if a bit of a waste. A favor is always nice though.

What approach to try though? Flirting would be somewhat disruptive to the rest of the group and Sol would likely laugh it off. Clearly he treated intimacy rather casually after all... a more physical approach then. Even if he had plenty of restraint anyone could get hot and bothered by the touch of an attractive woman.

She smiled coyly, stood up and moved next to Sol sitting down next to him and leaning into him just enough that he could feel her soft skin pressing against him. She reached up placing one arm behind him and ran her fingers gently through his hair. She leaned in closer and whispered, her breath hot against his ear.

"I'll take you up on that," she said, her voice smooth and sultry.

She looked up at the rest of the group, thinking briefly on who to choose next. After a brief amount of deliberation her gaze landed on Sierra.

"Sierra," she said "truth or dare?"

 

[Lunar Templar]

Sierra raised an eye brow at Sols dare to Juliet, that seemed like it was asking for trouble to her. Then she locked eyes with Juliet for a moment and she knew she was up again.

Though she gave the choice of truth or dare a bit more thought, Juliet was after far more bold after all. "Truth, we're supposed to be getting to know each-other better after all." she said after a few moments, and a look toward the bar with a 'where's my drink' expression.

 

[Outcast107]

Will was surprise by Sol dare, and even a bit more surprise that Juliet took it. Watching her get comfy and sitting up close to Sol. Though he kept to himself and not say anything. It was already a bit awkward as is and he was sure he would say something to make it worst.

Though he was even a bit more surprise that Juliet asked Sierra a truth or dare already. Hearing her say truth and thought it was probably for the best. He thought Juliet might go a bit far with the dare if she had the chance.

 

[Athol]

Viktor listened closely as Mirabelle gave a, very brief, autobiography. After she asked her question to Sierra, and Sierra had answered, he shifted himself so he could speak to her without disturbing the others; out of the corner of his eye he saw William awkwardly give Sierra a peck on the cheek. One step at a time. He thought with a smile.

?Miss Mirabelle,? He said, keeping his voice a bit lower than the conversations around them. ?I have a?request to make of you. Given your unique creation, could I convince you to come to Kyiv at some point? It doesn?t have to be this year, or even this decade, but Elder Oksana would love to meet you. She?s an alchemist, and like you said the Great Work is the alchemists dream; she?s had centuries to work on it, so far to no avail?circumstances led to her being ?turned?, but she sees it as a cop-out. Anyways, to the best of my knowledge, even with all her work, she?s never created anything like what your ?father? accomplished with you.?

 

[DarkRawen]

"Are you sure Luke would approve? Not that its any of my business of course."

"I'm sure Luke will be fine with it when I tell him I'm way more into him than I am into a succubus." He winked, cheekily. "Besides, it's just playful flirting due to a dare, it's not exactly the first time I've done this kinda thing."

It's the first time I've asked someone else to try to seduce me, but details. And I'm sure Luke won't mind. I do have to tell him, though.

Luke could pick up the smell of anyone Sol had as much as touched during the day, surely this would be more noticeable to him. Regardless, Juliet didn't seem to mind, sitting next to him, leaning onto his shoulder ever so carefully and putting an arm around his neck, brushing her hand through his hair.

"I'll take you up on that,"

"That just tickled," Sol whispered back, his expression mostly amused still, though his voice was lowered in a similarly seductive manner. "The hair thing is neat though, I don't mind that. Mind the leg though, don't lean too much on me, else I'm going to get totally turned off when my ankle starts hurting like hell." He grinned, Sol wasn't going to make it easy on her.

"Truth, we're supposed to be getting to know each-other better after all."

Sol raised an eyebrow, he'd expected Sierra to pick dare. Even so, he had some amusing ideas for questions to ask. Even if it was Juliet who were supposed to ask.

"Oh, oh, ask her if she has anyone she likes," Sol whispered to Juliet, wondering if she found it annoying for him to be whispering back. However, this kind of thing was only fun when only Juliet could hear him. "Or, even better. Ask her one of those fuck, marry, kill things with Vik, Seth and that demon queen lady. Her reaction would be amusing."

He gave Sierra an innocent smile as he waited for Juliet to ask an actual question, before drinking from his soda, wondering how long it would be before he got his food.

 

[IFS]

"The hair thing is neat though, I don't mind that. Mind the leg though, don't lean too much on me, else I'm going to get totally turned off when my ankle starts hurting like hell."

Juliet smiled "Oh don't worry, I'll only ever make you feel good," she whispered back, though she did adjust how she was leaning on him so that it wasn't putting pressure on his leg "and if you're sure your boyfriend won't mind then maybe you could invite me next time you two are having some fun, I could show the two of you all sorts of tricks."

"Truth, we're supposed to be getting to know each-other better after all."

"Or, even better. Ask her one of those fuck, marry, kill things with Vik, Seth and that demon queen lady. Her reaction would be amusing."

Juliet giggled and then paused to think. So far the truths revealed had been somewhat amusing but nothing especially revelatory. The dares had shown a bit more, Will was more comfortable with Sierra than her for instance though she couldn't recall many instances of the two talking. Sol was quite confident in his restraint and in his boyfriend overlooking something like this. But then again the point of the game wasn't really to learn anything, it was to have fun and embarrass each other.

"Hmm," Juliet said "what was your first sexual experience? Oh if that's too personal I can ask something else."

 

[figment of mind]

Mirabelle listened intently as Sierra told about her introduction to enchanting. It sounded odd that her family had been involved with magic and then forgot about it, but the fact that they still had little trouble with giving Sierra an outlet like that was good. Afterwards, the others continued on playing the game, with her listening in still. Imagine her surprise though, when she heard Viktor speaking to her, with the others apparently unaware.

"Miss Mirabelle," He said, keeping his voice a bit lower than the conversations around them. "I have a...request to make of you. Given your unique creation, could I convince you to come to Kyiv at some point? It doesn't have to be this year, or even this?decade, but Elder Oksana would love to meet you. She's an alchemist, and like you said the Great Work is the alchemists dream; she's had centuries to work on it, so far to no avail...circumstances led to her being 'turned', but she sees it as a cop-out. Anyways, to the best of my knowledge, even with all her work, she's never created anything like what your 'father' accomplished with you."

Mirabelle paused at that, confused as to why he asked this now, but still genuinly thinking it over. It would be an opportunity to meet another, more skilled alchemist...but she still had reservations at the idea of others possibly studying her. Still, if she was going to get involved with alchemy more, it wouldn't hurt to meet up with another alchemist who could give her advice, maybe even lessons, in exchange for information and knowledge about her inner workings. Besides, at this rate everyone would learn what powered her anyways...She might as well tell someone who could fully appreciate it too. Of course, she just needed to know where Kyiv was...

"Um...sure. I'm willing to come...though I don't know when would be best. I guess we can hammer out the fine details like that later though..." she said, responding in a similarly low voice, hoping that nobody heard.

 

[Lunar Templar]

That has a far tamer question then she was expecting from Juliet, though, from the expression on Sierra's face, answering would be problematic, though not for the reasons one would think. "So ... whats the dare?" she finally said after a few moments. "Cause the answer to that is to dull, even for me, and I was there." Sierra said as her drink showed up.

 

[Athol]

"Um...sure. I'm willing to come...though I don't know when would be best. I guess we can hammer out the fine details like that later though..."

?Like I said, there?s no rush. It?s not like Oksana is going anywhere?unless she?s blown up her laboratory?again.? He replied with a chuckle. People?s orders began to arrive, and he smiled at the waitress as she set his bottle in front of him. Pouring himself a couple of fingers, he let out an appreciative sigh. He murmured to himself.

 

[IFS]

"Cause the answer to that is to dull, even for me, and I was there."

"If you insist, I hope you've done better since," Juliet said then paused to think of a dare, running her fingers through Sol's hair as she did so.

The rules Sol had set kept her from coming up with anything particularly raunchy, which she considered to be unfortunate but understandable. Having Sierra kiss someone would be a bit boring considering that dare had been given to Will already, giving hugs seemed tame, and she doubted she'd be able to get away with daring Sierra to remove an article of clothing. Ah I've got it.

"I dare you to give Viktor a sincere compliment," she said.

 

[Lunar Templar]

Sierra gave Juliet a raised eyebrow and sighed, then started thinking about. She didn't really know much about him, though he's never really given her a reason to want to be around him for long.

"He is a good host." Sierra said after a few moments, and while leaning back so the waitress could place her burger in front of her. "After every one got back from the mission and went their separate ways, I ended up chilling with him watch a car show called Top Gear. Not my kinda show but it was still enjoyable." She said taking a look at the burger tomake sure they got what little Sol translated right.

"Anyway, Viktor, your on the chopping block now, Truth or Dare."

 

[Athol]

"I dare you to give Viktor a sincere compliment,"

Viktor coughed into his drink when he heard Juliet. ?I?m pretty sure she?d rather swallow her own tongue.? He chuckled.

"He is a good host. After every one got back from the mission and went their separate ways, I ended up chilling with him watch a car show called Top Gear. Not my kinda show but it was still enjoyable. Anyway, Viktor, you?re on the chopping block now, Truth or Dare."

?Thank you.? He replied with a touch of surprise. He raised his glass towards Sierra in a toast. ?Hmm?I?ll go Truth again. I know it?s not that exciting, but I have a ?cover? amongst these people I need to maintain.? He added, gesturing subtly to the club in general.

 

[Lunar Templar]

"Right, the Normal's" Sierra said slightly annoyed. Still that left a fairly wide range things to ask, though she wasn't sure what to ask.

Then Sierra got an idea. "I have an idea. How about you tell us about the time 'you almost died.'" she said after a few moments, clearly talking about when he was turned. Despite her own dislike of vampires, she was legitimately curious about what would make some one accept an offer like that, when, in her mind, there was far better options.

 

[Athol]

"I have an idea. How about you tell us about the time 'you almost died?."

?Hmm, which time?? He replied with a chuckle. Judging from the look Sierra gave him, she meant the time that led him to being ?turned?. He let out a sigh and sat back in his seat. ?It was late evening October 24 1947, I was a member of the UIA?the Ukrainian Insurgent Army; we fought both the fascists and the communists...anyways, my unit ambushed an NKVD company who were on their way to conduct a ?reprisal? purge in response to the UIA attack on a rail depot.?

?I?ll spare you all the messy details of the fighting, but sufficed to say we hit them hard in ambush. Unfortunately they hit back just as hard, despite being surprised. We got bogged down, which bought them enough time to radio for reinforcements; something that we couldn?t easily do. We started trying to disengage, but bad luck caught me as I tried to dash across a road. A DP-28 caught me in the open and nearly tore me in half. I?d been one of the last guys holding position to cover the withdrawal, so when my squad saw me go down they made the right call and left me.?

?I personally don?t remember what happened after that, but according to my friend Yuri; He was leading a Clan scouting party that had been observing the fighting and after the NKVD and UIA moved off, they moved in to survey the damage and found me in a ditch, one hand trying to hold my guts in. When I saw them, I must?ve thought they were hostile because I tried to fight even though I could barely even raise my free arm. Yuri said he admired my determination, so he broke rules and ?turned? me without asking.?

?The adjustment time was?a bit rough, to say the least, but I like to think it worked out in the end.? Stretching a bit, he sipped his drink and looked around, before making his decision. ?William,? He said. ?What?s you pick??

 

[Outcast107]

Will was a bit worried that Juliet was going to go over bored for Sierra, but was a bit surprise to hear how tame it was. Then he was worried about Sierra and Viktor about to have another fight, until Sierra actually gave him a nice compliment. Next it was Viktor turn for his truth. As will got his food and smiled and said "Thank you" to the waitress. Eatting his noddles as he listen to Viktor tell his tale about how he got turned.

Feeling his stomach turning slightly at the mention of 'Viktor's guts hanging out of him. Though he continue eatting. Not trying to image that at all. "A...nice story?" Will said, not really how to handle that. It didn't seem to bother Viktor any more since he was pretty calm about the whole story telling.

Swallowing his food when he heard it was his turn. Will thought as he said "Truth."
