He spun the bottle, which ended up pointing at Loki.
"Truth or Dare?"
"Why, Dare!" Loki said.
Truth was boring.
"Show us your least-liked gymnastics exercise," Joe said.
"Don't have one," Loki said, truthfully. "I never tried gymnastics."
"Okay," Joe said, considering for a moment and looking around at the people present, trying to decide who was most likely to be familiar with some unpleasant exercises. "Then show use Rose's most unliked one. Rose? Could you give instructions?"
Rose looked from Mr. Dawson to Loki and back. Why her least liked gymnastics exercise? She didn't exactly have one, being more flexible than humans. Then she thought back to school and told Loki
"Then do a handstand please"
because she had never gotten the use of that particular exercise. Who in their right mind wanted to stand on their hands??
"You heard the lady," Joe said. "Go ahead."
"How boring," Loki said as he stepped away from the table and obliged.
Upside-down, he continued: "Couldn't you at least have made it a BIT more difficult? Like, 'stand on your head in the shape of a fly' or 'strip while standing on your head', or something like that?"
"Yes," Joe commented. "I can see this is too easy for you. Well, I'll do better next time. Your turn on the bottle."
Now what would this guy make most embarrassed, Loki wondered.
"Tell us all about your first kiss," he said. He'd wanted to make it "first time", but he feared the man might be a virgin and get off easily by simply stating he had not had one yet.
Jan blushed. How indelicate! He couldn't possibly tell. After all it concerned not only his own, but also the girl's privacy!
For a moment he considered claiming that he couldn't remember the fist time someone had kissed him and that it had probably been his mother, but he doubted that they'd let him get get away with it and after all the girl was long dead and nobody here knew her.
"My first kiss was with a farm girl of about fourteen or fifteen," he admitted. "I was ap... assistant to a ... rather scary looking doctor at the time and she brought in her little brother with a broken leg. The bone needed setting and the moment the little boy caught sight of the doctor he started to scream as if he were being murdered."
"The sister couldn't bare to watch it. She turned away crying and I put my arm around her - feeling rather brotherly myself at first - and tried to console her and promised that all would be well." He hesitated.
"Well, when I told her that it was done and the child stopped screaming, she just ... turned in my arm and kissed me straight on the lips."
Jan regarded the crazy winged man for a moment. He almost dared him to fly, but obviously that was impossible and possibly dangerous, if he actually tried.
"Hop once around the room like a bunny," he decided spontaneously remembering the man's pet. That should be harmless enough for a healthy young man and it would definitely look funny with the little pink wings flopping along.
Jan shook his head at the man's excitement, but couldn't help smiling a little.
"Once around the room - slowly if you like, don't exhaust yourself." The man didn't look that strong and he might receive another task anytime in this game.
He spun the bottle, which ended up pointing at Loki.

It twirled for a while, then stopped pointing at Jan.
"What's it to be?" Loki asked, "Truth or dare?"

To Jan he said: "Your turn with the bottle."

Jan gave Loki one last glare and sun the bottle. It pointed at ... Raphael. Just what he needed, another lunatic!
"Truth or dare?" he asked trying to think of appropriate questions or dares for people who ran around with little pink wings flapping on their backs.

"Dare!" he smiled.

Raphael moved to the center of the room, put both hands in front of him like a pair of paws and hopped about. "How long?" He asked.
