Complete Private Ua Ola No I Ka Pane A Ke Aloha

[Luthien]

"Heeey…!" She couldn't help the pout that appeared on her face upon being reminded that she was the youngest out of the group. "I don’t need special treatment, Nico."

However the game seemed hellbent on proving her wrong, and with each round the blonde could feel her hand getting bigger... only Dayeon seemed to be having a worse time than her. It came as no surprise when Nico hollered UNO out loud as she dealt her last card, followed not too long after by Ari. Eventually she’d been able to get rid of her own cards, though whether it was actual skill or just the after effects of the alcohol in Dayeon’s system was anyone’s guess.

"Uuugh, that’s the worst luck I’ve ever had in a card game." A relieved sigh escaped Val as she barely managed to achieve third place among them, before her attention turned back to the flushed idol as she began slurring her words. "... I really should’ve talked you out of that porter, huh?"

A soft chuckle escaped her lips as the blonde began to stand, heading for the kitchen to get the next round of drinks while Ari and Nico deliberated on what to do with poor Dayeon. "Whatcha guys want this time?" Her voice called out as she opened the fridge, a parter and a bottle of water immediately pulled out before she looked towards the group.

"You’re getting water, Dee."

[Fiora Di Angelo]

"UNO AND I'M OUT BBBBBBBBBBITCHEeeeeeeeeES!" She shouted to the seven winds, heavens, or whatever they all believed in that could listen to her. Deities? Whatever, it didn't matter, none would stand against her drunken might as the winner.

With each card she picked, a sip. With each card dropped, a sip. And eventually her own body wouldn't be able to hold for long as an entire bottle was downed entirely with only her lips and a bold attitude to see through the end of the game. The hype of a victory and the warmth on her stomach were all she needed to beat the three of them on the UNO match.

"The baby loses, and ofcourse Dayeon too. Between the-the weirdass chicken she ate and the drink..." She lost that thought for a little though once the adrenaline begun to settle down and the drinks stopped coming her way, leaning back against her chair. With her cheeks flushed and not a lick of sense, the pinkette gave a look over to Ari then to Val, thinking a little longer over what they both said, only to point back at Dayeon.

"Okay okay I got a question, lemme start..." She placed her elbows against the table, leaning a little like there was some kind of secret about to be spit. "Did you upload nudes to the internet? SERIOUS QUESTION." But she wouldn't say she had googled for that once. Not like she needed it when Ronja was part of her life now and could handle her needs fairly well, but her inebriated self needed an answer to wrap up loose ends from the past.

"I'll take water too." Nico added, if only now realizing she's losing it thanks to the hawaian beverage. "Ari, your turn.

@Luthien | @Yugam | @Lune

 

[Lune]

"Dayeon, have you even finished that can?"

The idol slowly looked around, not finding what Ari was talking about, "What can?" Before drinking again out of that particular can.

"You’re getting water, Dee."

She quickly retorted by shouting at the blonde near the fridge, perhaps a little bit too loud. "I-I'm not thirsty, Vaal!"

"Did you upload nudes to the internet? SERIOUS QUESTION."

Raising her eyebrows, she turned to the pinkette who asked the weird question. "N-n-nudeees? Noooo. No idol upload nudes on the interneeet, too much risk, busssinessss risk." Dayeon shook her head, but the way she did it made it look like she was just throwing her head around.

"Mmmany photoshopss and deepfakes, probably yesssss...." She pointed out, making circling gestures with her pointer finger as if she was a wizard. "But it's verrry easy to spot editssss." All the fakes never even made it to the general public or caused any controversy as entertainment companies are very protective of their money milkers.

Again, she sipped on the honey porter, seemingly unaware that she was already way too intoxicated. "Weee don't take anddd store nudes in cooompany phones. Silly question... Silly Niconiconiii..."

@Luthien @Yugam @Fiora Di Angelo

 

[Yugam]

"Whatcha guys want this time? You're getting water, Dee."
"Probably a good idea. I don't wanna make the news tonight," Ari joked. "I'll try that uh...whatever that Hawaiian liquor was, I need to catch up to our local drunkard apparently," he then said to Valeria as she got up and retrieved more drinks for everyone. And some actual hydration, because man Dayeon was going to have one hell of a hangover tomorrow if the way she was acting now was any indication.

"Did you upload nudes to the internet? SERIOUS QUESTION."

Now, were Ari a responsible human being, he might've told Nico off for asking such an inappropriate question. But Ari was, in fact, not a responsible human being, so he sat back with an amused smile on his face as he waited to watch the world slowly start to burn around him.

"N-n-nudeees? Noooo. No idol upload nudes on the interneeet, too much risk, busssinessss risk," Dayeon answered, before explaining all the weird creepy things people on the internet did. No world burning today. Maybe just sad smolder that you wanted to dump some water on, but no world burning. Lame.

"Okay, but would you ever do something like that? Or like sell pictures and shit? I hear it makes good money." Ari then asked, deciding to throw some gasoline onto the little embers in the hopes of starting an actual fire instead of just dousing the last few vestiges of one.

@Luthien | @Lune | @Fiora Di Angelo

 

[Luthien]

Another water bottle is added to the counter, before the unexpected request to try out whatever local drink Nico had found in the grocery store is placed by Ari of all people. With the pink-haired gremlin momentarily taping out in drinks Valeria had assumed the bottle would’ve sat forgotten for the night, and she can’t help but pause as the girl is seemingly reconsidering a few things.

"Alright, but no bitchin’ about this tomorrow." The porter she’d selected for herself is placed back into the fridge, two additional water bottles pulled out in its stead, before she also makes sure to grab the Okolehao and a bag of plastic shot glasses, before rejoining the group once more.

The spirit bottle is placed in the middle of the table, making sure to not pinch any stray UNO cards by mistake, before the bag of shot glasses is gently tossed into Ari’s lap. Water bottles are distributed all around, and when the blonde turns towards Dayeon she reaches out for the porter bottle the idol is still holding. "Time to switch, Dee." Despite the apparent inebriated state of her friend she still tries to resist at first, before the blonde successfully manages to pry the beer from Dayeon’s hands—now replaced by a cool water bottle.

Surprisingly there’s still a decent amount of porter left in the bottle, and the blonde can’t help but shoot a questioning glance to the idol, before she decides to finish the contents as she’s sitting down. "Ay fo, it’s already warm… bleagh." The now empty bottle is placed at her side before Val reaches for her water, twisting the cap open to take a few sips while listening to the progressing conversation.

"Weee don't take anddd store nudes in cooompany phones. Silly question... "
"Yeah, that wouldn’t be a smart move."

The distinct mention of a company phone certainly earns one raised eyebrow from the blonde, though she keeps any additional observations or thoughts to herself as Ari gives a follow-up question to the new game that Nico started—curious to hear Dayeon’s answer.

@Fiora Di Angelo | @Lune | @Yugam

 

[Fiora Di Angelo]

"Wait what the fuck..." Nico's voice turned low as Dayeon's words hit her harder than the alcohol did, her mind just spacing out as if she were to zoom away from the world just to let her braincells interact with eachother a little and generate a spark to awaken her thoughts once again...

'Did she say there are edits... And I found jackshit on the net? I googled like ten different forms of 'dayeon nudes' I could think of...'

Something about it was just disturbing... But her she couldn't piece it together now that Ari asked the real questions, her eyes shooting back at Dayeon like lasers coded to target korean idols, her hand swinging on a wide arc to catch the water Val had brought back for the group before taking one long sip, as if vodka it were, before pointing the glass towards her. "Thank YOU." She nodded, and then pointed it over to dayeon once again.

"Answer the question. Would you..? Do you have 'em on a phone ya' ain't showing us? Do et, or I'll niconico deport you back to Korea with my boot printed up yer' ass." Her fury then ceased to be once she cast a glance over to the man of the group. "Right Ari?" Nothing like asking the korean-looking man to do the most hawaiian thing ever and kick an idol back to her homeland.

@Luthien | @Lune | @Yugam

 

[Lune]

"What's withhh the sussy question?"

She eyed Ari with raised eyebrows, but proceeded to answer the question anyway by explaining. "I-I meann, obviously it makess good money, no kizzzzy, I've seen some of thatttt. Like BJ? Broadcasting Jockeyyy? Those who do lewd streams and thingssss," Her arms made grandiose movements to get the point across.

Then came Val trying to replace the beer in her hand with a bottle of water. Luckily the mission was done successfully without any beer splashed around. "I'd be lying ifff I say I never got t-tempted, but I'm a firm believerrrr of hard work."

Dayeon puts her other hand under her chin, nodding as if proud of herself, "I would ratherrrr work as a waitress againnnn...."

She quickly turned towards Nico, pointing at her face to answer the barrage of questions. "Allsso, I'm American, you perrrverttt. Pervert pervert pervert-" Feeling her throat quickly drying from answering all that weird questions, the idol took a sip of the cool water, courtesy of Valeria.

"Ooh, this one was quite freshhh. Thankss Val." She gave the blonde a small thumbs up.

@Luthien @Yugam @Fiora Di Angelo

 

[Yugam]

"Alright, but no bitchin' about this tomorrow."
"I dunno how low you think my alcohol tolerance is, but it is not Dayeon levels low," Ari countered, feigning offence as the girl tossed the bag of shot glasses into his lap. "Are we all trying this shit?" he asked as he opened up the bag and began to place three on the table. Dayeon didn't need more alcohol, she was already roughly 95% alcohol at this point based on her behavior.

"Wait what the fuck..." Nico's suddenly quiet voice piqued Ari's attention as he raised a brow and began to twist the top off the okolehao. "Nico...you okay over there?" Ari asked, unused to what was essentially the exact opposite of her typical behavior.

"Answer the question. Would you..? Do you have 'em on a phone ya' ain't showing us? Do et, or I'll niconico deport you back to Korea with my boot printed up yer' ass."
"Actually, aren't you from like, Boston or something Dayeon?"
Dayeon was somehow able to string together a mostly coherent sentence. "Hey, to be fair, that's still a lot of work," Ari said, deciding to play devil's advocate. "Just like anything else, you gotta know how to market yourself. You are literally a product, much like how you, Dayeon, a product sold by your label. Industry sucks." The more that Ari thought about it, Dayeon was probably a lot closer to being a...'Broadcast Jockey' than she thought she was.

"Okay, anyways, before we continue to interrogate our personal idol, why don't we make a game of it. Truth or dare, take a drink every time it's your turn?"

@Luthien | @Lune | @Fiora Di Angelo

 

[Luthien]

"Are we all trying this shit?"
"Duuuh~ Like we’d let you hog all the fun, right Nico?"

She looks towards the fellow gremlin with a grin, almost sure that the pinkette will probably back her up… if she’s not too distracted with her current interrogation game towards Dayeon. Three shot glasses were arranged on the table, a silent consensus made as the resident idol was cut off from any more alcohol for the rest of the night.

"I'd be lying ifff I say I never got t-tempted, but I'm a firm believerrrr of hard work."
"Hey, to be fair, that's still a lot of work."

A part of her feels the need to add her two cents into the conversation, but she holds back as Ari decides to take the role of devil’s advocate. Instead she takes another couple of sips of her water bottle before placing it by her side, and she can’t help but chuckle as the convo turns towards good ol’ restaurant customer service.

"I would ratherrrr work as a waitress againnnn...."
"Why not both? You know what they say about keeping all of your eggs in one basket~"

Sure, taking shots can be fun… but everyone knows it’s way better when a game is involved, and this time Ari’s the one to make a suggestion towards the group. "Sure, it’s been a while since I’ve played truth or dare." Her shot glass is moved closer to him as she accepts, before her gaze shifts from Nico to Dayeon and back.

"We might need some rules to avoid people getting ganged up on though."

@Nico | @Dayeon | @Ari

 

[Fiora Di Angelo]

"Eh?" Nico turned over at Ari once his question bounced over her brain a few times. "Yeah yeah I'm coo." She replied, waving at the man to lay down his concerns, if he had any in the first place. Unfortunately for the baby of the group, Valeria, the pinkette had gone off on a trance, and while she missed the grin, she wouldn't miss the shots put on the table.

Except she did miss the entire point of the game and her hand extended to grab one and chug it down.

"Bitch do they drink vodka or some crap in puerto rico when you ask for water?!" Drunken eyes turned over to Val, with disgust crawling all over her features, not prepared for the shot in the first place, expecting good ol' water and being greeted with a future full of headaches instead.

One of them being Ari who kept using big words, the other being the idol who kept calling her a pervert for asking a SERIOUS question, her cheeks getting a fierce red to contrast the bubblegum pink of her hairs. "WHATEVER! American, Korean, shit don't matter you look like you need eye surgery!" She growled, folding her arms against the table to rest her chin on them, her gaze turning into a squint as she fought against conciousness.

Ari had suggested a game, and glances were shared between the only two who seemed to make a lick of sense. "What game are we- Oh truth or dare?" Finally her mind stopped lagging behind for a second, with her lips being the only thing faster than thought right now. "So uh, I say only two questions tops per round... Right? That way it's u- Hic! Chill." She turned over to Valeria and pushed the empty shot to her side of the table. "More."

@Lune | @Yugam | @Luthien

 

[Lune]

"Market research? Reallyyy? For sexy pics? Nudesss?"

She chuckled, unsure if it was Ari who was naive or if it was her. "People will look for you, not the other way around. Besides, people who dabble in this work field u-usually were born pretty anywayyy." People will literally scrape every inch of the internet and throw their entire wallets at any mention of sexualized media, because that's what happened with her fakes.

"Hard to compete with them,"

Everywhere they went as a group, people always had to draw a comparison between her and Almira, or even her and Kat. Even back during the survival show days, she was labeled 'an American without talent or a face worth marketing'. A comparison that was hardly fair, but guess it was life. "But I guess we're pretty similar in a way, they sell their appearances, I sell my soul."

It seemed that the rapid-fire questions would just continue infinitely before the blonde stopped them and just proposed a truth or dare instead, "Yess, thank you, Val." Her slurring also seemed to have eased up a bit, thanks to the water she drank every thirty seconds or so. Dayeon quickly turned towards the pinkette, pointing at her. "Nico, your turnnn."

She paused a while, before smiling widely. "Your worst sex experience?"

@Luthien @Yugam @Fiora Di Angelo

 

[Fiora Di Angelo]

The way Dayeon just poked fun at Ari and laughed made her laugh. Not because she understood anything of what the idol was saying, but because she was basically calling the barista an idiot or something. She would bandwagon on any opportunity to bully poor Ari.

"Hah, idiot." She mumbled, before her attention returned back to Dayeon once she spoke of selling her soul. The sentence made her frown, as even in her half-inebriated state she could feel this was somehow deeper than what her mind could process right now.

It left her to pause for a moment as Dayeon agreed too to switching targets for their questions, a notion she agreed with too until the next person was her, the pinkette physically recoling backwards on her chair as she glanced over to Valeria as if she were the culprit of this, then over to Dayeon. "Bitches set me up! Not fair!" Nico protested with a pouty face, sighing off as she started to scratch away at her forehead nerveously so. Her gaze went over to the blonde once again.

The only one in the room who knew a piece of the story, related to at the very least. Thankfully, the alcohol helped to keep the mild discomfort away from her.

"Right right, so... About a year after I broke up with my boyfriend, I tried to reconnect with people. So I started to go through social media and I found a dating app." She could already imagine the judgement coming from them, enough to make her hands rise up as if about to catch fists with them. "I fucked up and decided to use it, and I meet this one cute guy who was pretty much everything a girl could want, a solid six out of ten on looks. Time skip a month later and we tried to fuck. We weren't 'dating' but more like meeting up, and this was our first time doing it. I decided to play slow on the bed with him, because I wanted something more intimate than just, y'know, sex." She didn't know how to feel about it. Embarassment? Guilt? Somehow, talking about it made even the drink taste bad on her mouth once she tried to get rid of it with a single chug.

"I felt awkward and my chest get tight all of a sudden. I had this sensation of being super vulnerable beneath him, even if he was a sweetheart the whole time and nothing bad happened. I think It just triggered me a little because that's how my ex used to do it with me. So I pulled through anyways, told the guy we couldn't keep meeting because I wasn't interested, and tried to make it seem like i'm just a moody bitch or somethin'. Didn't want the guy to feel insecure only because I got freaked out a little." And it worked, at the cost of a good friend, but that kind of scar heals easier than simply being told the experience was terrible.

She didn't gave plenty of time for them to think about it before she smacked the table 'calmly' with her right palm, pointing a finger over to Ari.

"Alright your turn fuckboy... I wanna know what's the happiest memory you got." She pondered outloud, resting her chin on her hands. Given his condition, Nico knew full well this would be difficult to answer, but at the same time, maybe there's some things that can't be forgotten?

Not losing anything by asking, and it might be her only time to learn more about him, given how reserved they both were.

@Luthien | @Yugam | @Lune

 

[Yugam]

"People will look for you, not the other way around. Besides, people who dabble in this work field u-usually were born pretty anywayyy." Ari wasn't even going to try to argue with the drunk idol at this point. How would people find her if she didn't provide some way to do so ('her' in the grand sense in this case). He couldn't argue with the latter point though, although the way Dayeon phrased it certainly left Ari wondering if she didn't think of herself as attractive...which given her career should've been evidence enough of the contrary. But Ari wasn't drunk enough to say anything about the topic and immediately start digging himself into another whole with the girl he literally just patched things up with maybe six hours ago.

Although...this okolehao had quite a kick so he might get there...

On the other hand, Nico's answer to Dayeon's question was just flat out depressing. He wanted to make some joke about this guy being 'everything a girl could have wanted' but also only netting a six on the hotness scale, but by the time he'd have opened his mouth they'd already moved onto a level of secondhand awkwardness that Ari hadn't even known existed. It did explain, however, a little bit about what happened in Japan.

With nothing to be said, Ari waited for Nico to select the next victim in the group and that person was: "Alright your turn fuckboy... I wanna know what's the happiest memory you got."
"Nico, do you know how this game works? I'm supposed to pick a truth or a dare, you don't just pick for me."
"Listen here bitch-"
"Anyways uh...lemme think..." Ari cut Nico off before she could really get going. "Happiest memory..." Why did Nico pick the one thing he literally had the worst and least of compared to everyone in the room. Most of his memories were so shot full of holes the were unrecognizable. And the ones that weren't, the ones that had come after, weren't exactly happy for the most part. Not sad either, but rather tedious. Work. School. Occasionally hanging out with a friend who he didn't really like all that much, or going out on a date, but nothing really exciting.

Well there was...Ari's eyes darted over to the blonde sitting next to him as he pondered for a moment.

Nah. Best not to open up that can of worms.

"I got nothing, I want a dare."

@Luthien | @Lune | @Fiora Di Angelo

 

[Luthien]

"Bitch do they drink vodka or some crap in puerto rico when you ask for water?!"

It seemed the pinkorilla had been too invested in her personal interrogation of the idol to realize what exactly had been poured into her glass—though the fact it was a shot glass should’ve clued Nico about the contents it held. One eyebrow is raised questioningly into the air, still enjoying the unique flavors and burn this particular spirit carries, before a smirk pulls the edges of her lips as she answers.

"I did get you water though, ‘member?" Her hand reaches for her own water, pressing the still cool object against Nico’s skin to refresh the woman’s memory, before she nudges the bottle belonging to the pinkette with her own. "The shot’s complementary~"

One thing is made clear after the first taste of okolehao, its tantalizing sweetness lingering on her tongue long after the burn of the alcohol has faded, that spirit has the potential to be a menace if she’s not careful—
"More."
"Mmm...? Thought you wanted water, Nico."
She can’t help the Cheshire grin on her face now as her friend pushes the shot glass back in her direction for seconds, humoring Nico as the blonde takes on the task of filling up all three shot glasses for a second round.

The drink is left on the table for the time being however, taking another few sips of her water bottle instead as the blonde sits back to listen as Dayeon decides to toss Nico a question. A silent glance is given towards Ari, wondering why Dee didn’t let the pinkorilla choose her poison first, before a surprised look crosses her face as Nico doesn’t seem to contest this fact either. ... maybe we should cut her off next.

She’s silent as the pinkette shares more details than Valeria had expected, perhaps thanks to the liquid courage that now runs through their veins. There’s no doubt an awkward pause would’ve soon inserted itself into the quiet space once Nico was done sharing her tale, but before that can happen the pinkette is switching gears as she smacks the table before pointing towards Ari next.

"Alright your turn fuckboy... I wanna know what's the happiest memory you got."

If she were a caenis her ears would’ve perked up immediately after hearing the question, completely forgetting how this game is supposed to work until the man besides her calls Nico out for skipping the ”Truth or dare?” part meant to be asked first. Despite the well known idiom of curiosity killed the cat she can’t help but pay extra attention, the water bottle brought back to her lips for a couple of sips in a small attempt to hide her own interest.

"I got nothing, I want a dare."
"Alright fuckboi, you gotta down this whole bottle by yourself... BUT!"

A chill runs up her spine as Nico makes a dramatic pause, and she doesn’t need to look back at the pink gremlin to know something devious is brewing inside of the banana haven that she imagines the pinkorila’s brain to be as an opened porter is placed onto the table. Despite knowing better she can’t help but finally look right into those bright blue eyes, a smug look on Nico’s face as her finger points towards Valeria next.

"The gremlin has to hold it for you while you drink."
"Takes a gremlin to know a gremlin…"
"You can't use your hands or anything."

Still considering this is Nico the blonde can’t help but count her blessings upon realizing her part in this challenge isn’t that bad, a side glance given towards Ari to confirm if he’s gonna go through with this or take the shot sitting on the table instead, before her hand reaches for the porter.

"Bottoms up~"

@Ari | @Dayeon | @Nico

 

[Lune]

It was supposed to be funny, but then she felt really bad listening to Nico's past. Or maybe she just sympathized with the guy. "... My baddd..." Thankfully, it didn't sour the mood as the pinkette passed the challenge to Ari.

The happiest memory he got. That's gotta be like, the easiest truth question ever. But somehow, ten seconds passed, then twenty seconds, then thirty. This guy didn't have any happy memory? Why is this group getting sadder and sadder by the minute?

"Alright fuckboi, you gotta down this whole bottle by yourself... BUT! The gremlin has to hold it for you while you drink."

Nico saved the day by challenging him to a pretty interesting dare. If anything, this should be a funny moment to witness.

"Bottoms up~"

Ari began to drink the porter that Val held for him. For a while, it seemed okay but either the blonde was pouring too fast or the male choked on something, he began to sputter and proceeded to spill half of it on himself, a performance that got a chuckle and a standing ovation from the idol.

"Alrightttt, who are you picking next, Ari?"

@Luthien @Yugam @Fiora Di Angelo

 

[Yugam]

As Nico revised her truth to a dare, Ari couldn't help but squint at the woman, his mouth falling slightly open in incredulous disbelief as if to say 'really?' That's the best you got? Instead, he opted for: "Okay? I guess?" When the man signaled that he was ready, Val (who they all seemed to silently agree was the gremlin of the group) began to pour the alcohol down his throat. Albeit a little too quickly. Soon the man sputtering and his shirt was soaked in beer, and he was left bent over coughing trying not to die after being inadvertently waterboarded. Not that anyone seemed to care. In fact, they seemed, for the most part, amused by his near death experience.

"Alrightttt, who are you picking next, Ari?" Dayeon asked amidst Ari's death throes. He pointed toward Val between coughs. "Truth...or...dare?"

@Luthien | @Lune | @Fiora Di Angelo

 

[Luthien]

Everything had been going fine at first, and with each passing second the contents of the porter continued to get lighter and lighter. It seemed like they had this dare in the bag, but perhaps it was that overconfidence that caused the blonde to misjudge the remaining liquid within the bottle as she tilted it just a bit tooo much... and that’s when disaster struck.

"Oh shit, Ari—aaah, I’m sorryI’m sorry!" The sudden sputtering caused her to pull back, but not in time to avoid a good part of the contents from accidentally waterboarding the man. She placed the bottle on the table between her apologies, before standing and going over to the kitchen to pick up the roll of paper towels.

A couple of sheets were hastily torn on her way back, handed over to Ari as the blonde took her seat beside him again. Another sheet was plucked before she set the roll on the table, using it to dab away at any sputtered droplets of beer around them and the furniture, before her hand reached for the two poured shots on their side. It’d been her error that caused him to miss Nico’s dare, so it was only fair that she took the penalty for the both of them.

Before he could protest it Valeria had already downed both shots in quick succession, a grimace on her face that lasted while the alcohol burned going down her throat, before the sound of Ari’s voice caused her to look over. "Truth...or...dare?" She’d probably regret that decision later, but after pausing for thought—or maybe she just needed a second before she could speak again—the blonde finally squeaked out her choice.

"D-Daaare…?"

@Ari | @Nico | @Dayeon

 

[Fiora Di Angelo]

Neurons triggered, eyes set wide open as if cold water had dropped all over her face, and it might just have been so in a metaphorical way. Then she squinted, setting sights on Dayeon as the idol muttered the forbidden words and channeled the darkest of spell on her. The throbbing on Nico's chest warned her so.

"Nah nah, no pity here. It's all in the phast now." A sober smile crawled on her lips post-hasty words. "I wouldn't be talking about it if I hadn't come to terms with it already." Thankfully, Val and Ari had picked up the next phase of the game, the uncertainty in the blonde's voice enough to entertain and drift her mind away from Dayeon and straight back to the squirming puerto rican.

"Hell yeah, no pussying out of this one! Show her whose the alpha, dog!" Teeth flashed on a nefarious smile, hands full of ecstasy slammed against the table tipped her empty glass to the side. The faint pink on her cheeks burned too much for her to keep her embarassment a secret.

What little of it remained, at least. Enough to incite her to set the glass back, crossing her arms against her bossom and under her armpits. The lunny-jacket strategy in a vain attempt to keep the disasters to a minimum... At least until Valeria did whatever the fuckboy asked her to.

@Luthien | @Yugam | @Lune

 

[Yugam]

What better way to follow nearly being drowned with beer (literally) than to chase it with a shot. Sadly for Ari, Valeria took away that pleasure from him, at least until he shot her a teasing glare and poured himself one as well and knocked it back.

At this point in time, the alcohol had begun to suffuse through Ari's bloodstream, and although he did not feel drunk his inhibitions were definitely beginning to fall. At least enough so that stupid ideas, while still sounding stupid, sounded funny enough to hazard saying them aloud.

So as Ari sat there for a moment, smoke practically coming out of his ears as the gears of his mind struggled and grinded against each other in an effort to spark something akin to a good dare, he began to smile. He had it.

"Give Nico a strip-tease to TLC's Waterfalls."

Disclaimer: The writer of this post, PandaIsInSpace, is not responsible for the content of the dare, or anything that subsequently is a result of it's issuance or completion. It's all Nari's fault.

@Luthien | @Lune | @Fiora Di Angelo

 

[Luthien]

The light glare was met by a soft shrug of Val’s shoulders as she watched Ari pour himself a shot and, while she still believed it was her fault his dare had failed, she wasn’t about to prevent him from drinking it if he truly wanted to. She had plenty of time to second guess her choice however, anything that got Nico this excited was prooobably a bad idea, but she knew better than to try and back out of it now—the pink-haired menace wouldn’t allow it if she tried.

"Yeah yeah…" Instead she reached for her water bottle to take a couple of small sips as Ari’s brain cells were hard at work. Whatever initial curiosity she might’ve had about his thought process quickly shifted into wariness as a lightbulb seemed to finally go off. The slow smile that began to spread on his lips caused small bell alarms to go off in the back of her mind, eyes narrowed into a questioning glance, before Ari revealed his dare.

"¡¿Q-Qué?!"

A singular word made it out amidst the small coughing fit that overtook the blonde as the water she’d been drinking went down the wrong pipe, part of her almost hoping she’d heard wrong… though one look at Nico’s face confirmed she had not.

"Mmm..." There was an internal struggle as she began to weigh the pros and cons of this unexpected development, when a sharp ache on her side caused the blonde to turn her gaze away from the water bottle and towards the pinkorilla that had just jabbed her. "Nico, what the fuck—"

"Vos llegas a decir que sí y la vas a pasar mal amiga."
"What happened to not pussying out—wait… cabrona, ¿de cuando acá hablas español?"

Any additional complaints that Val might’ve had for the pinkette were temporarily shelved away as her mind finally realized Nico was speaking a language that wasn’t English, before a sly grin spread on her lips upon realizing that Nico was actually trying to get away from a dare... and she still had to pay her friend back for last round.

Hands reached for her phone before her fingers quickly found the Spotify app on the home screen and, after a few quick taps, Waterfalls began to play from the speakers. The device was lightly tossed in Ari’s direction for safekeeping before the blonde leisurely got up on her feet, keeping her attention focused on the pinkette.

She was gonna pay hell for this later, but it was quickly decided that was future Val’s problem—her only regret would be not having a clip of this to share with Ronja later, Val was certain the brunette would’ve enjoyed seeing this moment play out. Her movements were deliberately slow and fluid, in tune with the music that played in the background, and for the time it seemed that being able to turn the tables on Nico was enough for Val to temporarily forget the nervous jitters of having Ari witness this.

Fingers managed to loosen the hair tie that had kept the blond locks gathered in a messy bun, the long strands cascading into their newfound freedom before a flick of her head to the melody’s beat had them turning in the opposite direction. The smile on her lips soon shifted as the blonde bit the bottom one gently on a side, eyes sparkling full with gremlin mischief as her hands slowly moved towards her midriff.

The fabric of her shirt was carefully gathered up to expose smooth skin, before her thumbs teasingly hooked around the inner band of her lounging shorts. Hips swayed along with the music before her hands joined them, lightly stretching the edge on her shorts to one side and then the other as she went.

Finally, when she was sure that Nico was about to straight up murder her, the blonde’s hands moved away from her hips. The hair tie that she’d kept concealed throughout her movements was on the forefront again, the blonde hooking one end to a thumb before her other hand pulled the opposite side and sent it flying at the pinkorilla—her accuracy true as it stung the woman on the collarbone, though soft enough that it wouldn’t be leaving any lasting marks on the skin.

"That's my challenge done," Palms were up and exposed now, the universal sign of both peace and “this wasn’t my fault, blame someone else” before a hand pointed in Ari’s direction. "Complaints department is over there, file any grievances with him."

She then shifted her gaze over to Dayeon, giving the woman a grin as she made her question. "Dee, truth or dare?"

OOC Note: I hate you, Nari.
