What, really, City?

All right. I'll play. Who's up?

[deadly_legacy]

[She blushes. You and Billy!]

I...

I think maybe we would have.

[team_sociopath]

[Hey, you can't blame him for having a little fun, right?]

You don't have to be embarrassed about it.

Dare.

[deadly_legacy]

No, it's just... [She feels bad for how complicated and confusing things got and it's really only more so now. She was happy with Suzaku...and he recently left again just for a canon update though.]

Mm, I... Dare you to walk around the room you're in very slowly. At least half the speed of someone else's regular pace.

[team_sociopath]

[Laughing a bit, Tommy flips on the video. His room is sort of a mess, but maybe not as much of a disaster as one might fear.]

Easy.

[And-- this will take a while-- he starts to circle it, as close to the walls as possible, at a positively glacial pace.]

[deadly_legacy]

[She smiles.] You're doing very well! [Encouragement! And while they do this...]

Truth again.

[team_sociopath]

What's the best curse you've had since you've been here?

[deadly_legacy]

It was the curse that brought life back to all the city!dead.

[team_sociopath]

I'm not sure if I was here for that.

[But well, obviously that's bound to be an uncomfortable subject for her.]

I'll take truth, so my dares don't pile up.

[deadly_legacy]

I think it was before you arrived. [It's not so bad anymore. After all, she's alive now and she's had time to deal with it.]

All right...

Did you want to be a couple?

[team_sociopath]

Sort of. You're cute. [His cool will not crack, but this is pretty damn embarrassing for him, okay?]

But I'm pretty sure I'd do something jerky eventually and make you miserable. And then Billy would probably electrocute me.

[deadly_legacy]

I wouldn't want you to be electrocuted. [She smiles softly at him.]

Ah, I suppose it's time for a dare.

[team_sociopath]

[It takes him a while to think of one, since well he would like to avoid doing something jerky and getting electrocuted.]

Go out for a drink with me this week. Some night when there's no curse.

[deadly_legacy]

[She is about to protest she might not be very good company right now, but she nods. Maybe it would be nice to just spend some time with Tommy without worrying if Suzaku is all right or if he'll return. Besides, the curse isn't really taking no for an answer.] Mm, I'd like that, Tommy. [After a moment.] As friends.

[team_sociopath]

I wasn't trying to make a pass at you.

[Mostly.]

[deadly_legacy]

I just... [Doesn't want to do anything that might hurt him.] Sorry.

Ah... Truth or dare?

[team_sociopath]

Truth, I guess.

[Stiiiiilll crawling along.]

[deadly_legacy]

Were you upset when I started dating Hanna? [She really shouldn't keep asking these things, but they are on her mind and coming out.]

[team_sociopath]

Not really, I never had any expectations.

I figured if he upset you I'd kick his ass, though.

[deadly_legacy]

[She smiles softly at that.] You'd really have done that?

Not that I ever would have wanted you to of course.

[team_sociopath]

Of course I would've. It's like, a matter of principle.

[deadly_legacy]

You're sweet, Tommy.

[Pause.] I'm sorry I...made everything so confusing.

[team_sociopath]

It's not as bad as you think.

[Tommy's kind of good at being That Other Guy, he's used to it.]

[deadly_legacy]

[She just smiles at him.] Truth.

[team_sociopath]

How annoyed are you that you can't stop playing this dumb game?

[deadly_legacy]

[Laughing.] It's not so bad right now at least.
