THE TRUTH OR DARE MEME



How this works:
-It's a big game of truth or dare! Throw up a top level for your character and other people tag in to be issued with a question or a dare
-Tag around, ask for truth dare from everyone else!
- Want to opt out of a dare or a question? WELL THERE'S SOME HOT SAUCE SHOTS WITH YOUR NAME ON THEM
- Shenanigans! Dumb bullshit! JUST HAVE FUN I'M NOT YOUR MOM

Yeah, duh! It's truth or dare! What's the point if I give you something you can just cheese in two seconds?

[scenestealer]

--That's true.

[ Amber takes a moment to bask in this wisdom, ensuring she has fully absorbed it.

Then, she assembles her features into a resolute expression. ] Okay! Lemme get my set together.

[ She begins hurrying around, heels clicking, moving furniture about, rearranging where lamps are....

Lighting is, like, so key to this stuff. ]

[prismatically]

Should I be sitting down for this or something?

[ This is already A Lot. ]

[scenestealer]

Nah, you're good. Just wait like - [ Amber gestures. ] Thereish. This one has audience participation.

[ She grabs her top hat from the nearest coatrack and flips it around in her hands, playing with it like some people play with basketballs. This doesn't appear to be the trick, though. She's just bad at not doing things with her hands.

Also like some people play with basketballs, she drops it. But catches it on her foot.

You saw nothing. ]

[prismatically]

Wow, so I'm getting a whole show on top of a dare? Best game of Truth or Dare ever.

[ Honestly at this point, she doesn't even care if Amber goes through on the dare or not. She just wants to see the trick! ]

[scenestealer]

[ Amber kicks the hat up, bounces it between her hands in as graceful and I-totally-meant-to-be-doing-this manner as possible, then puts it atop her head. ] For you, Leader, anything!

[ There we go. Spotlights - check. "Stage" - check. Amber climbs up on the furniture and takes off the hat again. She flips it so that Stella can see inside. ]

Now, my lady. You've seen this, correct? There is nothing -

[ Twirls it around her finger, plunks it back up top. ]

Within my hat. Or -

[ She turns out the cuffs of her shirt, making sure they're catching the full light. ] Up my sleeves.

[prismatically]

[ And Stella being... well, Stella, she's already in the midst of a giggle fit. ]

Nope! Nothing in the hat or the sleeves, ma'am!

[scenestealer]

Alllllllright. Thennn~, I want you to think of a card. Any card, so long as it would be in a deck like this one!

[ amber do you always have a deck of cards in your back pocket

She flashes the deck, spreads the cards out so Stella can see that all 52 are present, tucks the deck in her back pocket and this time -

She's taking out her calling card gun and firing it at Stella.

On today's calling card:

Tonight, I shall steal the thoughts from your head. ]

[prismatically]

[ Nodnod! Going by how earnestly she's playing along, she's really getting swept up in all this. She's... probably already forgotten they're playing truth or dare, honestly. ]

How the heck are you gonna do that?!

[scenestealer]

Heh.

[ Yes. Voicing the smirk is important at this juncture.

Raising a hand, Amber snaps her fingers. Normally, this is where the object she desires would "appear" in her hand, time having frozen for everyone but her - but she's promised not to use those powers, so she tosses her head, catches the hat as it falls again, and draws out of it -

A playing card! ]

My lady.

[ Dramatic flipping of the card so Stella can see it. ]

Is this your card?

[ It is. ]

[prismatically]

[ Stella has absolutely, definitely seen this trick before just on account of, you know, being Amber's friend and coworker. She also lives in a world of literal magic.

But when Amber pulls out her card, Stella's reaction is... well, first and foremost, it's extremely Stella of her. ]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?!

[ She sounds so AGHAST!! ]

That's my card! That's totally my card! [ She reaches out to try and take the card from Amber so she can examine it. ] How can that be my card?!

[scenestealer]

Weren't you warned?

[ Here. You may examine the card to your heart's content.

Amber may be gloating a little. Amber may gloat a little every time she pulls this off. ]

A phantom thief always takes what she declares.

[prismatically]

And you did it all without stopping time too...!

[ A beat. And then: ]

Aw, crap! That means you did the dare!

[ SHE THOUGHT SHE'D GOTTEN A SLAM DUNK... ]

[scenestealer]

Darn straight!

[ thumbs-up

let's just ignore there is nothing straight about amber, at all,, ]

[prismatically]

I thought I'd gotten you really good, too...!

[ mrgrgr!!! ]

Does this mean you get to hit me with a dare now, too?

[scenestealer]

Depends. Would you rather do a truth?

[ She spreads her hands in a generous gesture. ]

I am a spring of benevolence.

[prismatically]

[ IMMEDIATELY: ] Truth. Definitely truth! Have mercy on me!

[scenestealer]

Mercy, eh.......~

[ She's joking. Amber would never commit an act of such cruelty to her Leader! ]

Then, I wanna hear what kinda show you've always wanted to do!

[prismatically]

Phew...

[ She mimes wiping away a sweatdrop. Your senpais really do spoil you, huh Stella. ]

I guess if it's anything... I'd love to do something really crazy like one of those old school Prism Maiden concerts, from the generation when I was a kid. Seeing that sorta stuff is what made me wanna be an idol.

[scenestealer]

Old school...... [ Amber nods. ] Stealing the past and making it present. That's brilliant!

[ She whips out a tiny notebook and starts scribbling in it. From what little Stella might be able to see, the entire notebook is full of set design, choreography, and theme ideas. ] May I quote you?

[prismatically]

Huh?! Uh, I guess – just make it sound less bad than stealing whenever you quote me.

A–and anyway, it's not stealing if it's like, an homage, right?

[scenestealer]

I used "stealing" and not you, so a quote avoids it by nature, NBD.

[ Yes, she says it. En-bee-dee. Amber finishes writing with a flourish. ]

Anyway, nothin' wrong with theft. Thematically.

[ amber. ]

[prismatically]

Sometimes when you say stuff like that, I get really worried that one day you're gonna get caught coming out of a museum, carrying the Mona Lisa under your arm and end up going to jail for literally the rest of your whole entire life.

[ And what an absolute kneecap to their team cohesion that would be. You can't get arrested when they finally have all seven colours, Amber!!! ]

[scenestealer]

[ Amber frowns. Number one, theft for theft's sake is a waste of a perfectly good heist maneuver, thus, "thematically". Number two: ]

Leader, I wouldn't get caught.

[prismatically]

Oh, yeah, I guess not... you could just stop time and get the heck out of dodge any time it looked like somebody had you in their sights, huh?

[ Metal Gear Solid but sicko mode ]
