When: 1/26/07
Rating: PG-13... because Hei said a naughty word
Category: Misc Happenings
Summary: The House residents gather to have a costume party and play Truth or Dare. Shocking confessions are made... from unexpected sources.
P!Al: *in an overly puffy, frilly princess dress complete with cone hat, tiara, and fairy wings; giggles as he starts shouting* Get your bums down here, everyone!
IC!Gluttony: *bounds down the stairs, grinning, has no idea what's going on but assumes it will be fun... is wearing bunny ears*
?????: ::follows not far after Gluttony, wearing his usual all black and a beret::
P!Al: *picks up his wand and Mr. Pokeylope from the table and sets Dante on his shoulder; both turtles wearing fairy wings* You guys look so awesome~
OOC!Psiren: *calls down the stairs* I'll be down in a second, Al! *has her Parisian dress on, as well as a toy crown and sceptre, goes to Hei's room to make sure he's at least still alive*
IC!Gluttony: Hee, everypeoples has funny hats! *grins*
P!Al: *pouts* My hat is not funny! It's cute and trendy.
IC!Gluttony: ...Is cute and trendy and funny?
?????: They are not mutually exclusive, are they?
P!Al: No, not funny at all! You don't think it's funny do you, Purple Tufo?
?????: ::looks it over again:: I do not find it funny, but it is an unusual hat.
OOC!Psiren: *determines that Hei is, in fact, alive but sleeping, heads down the stairs, grinning at everyone* Alright, here I am. ...Nice hat... Bob.
P!Al: It's not unusual! *frowns, but smiles again when he sees Clara* You look pretty, Auntie Clara~
?????: ::smirk:: Thank you.
OOC!Psiren: *smiles at Al* Why, thank you, Al! ...So do you. *is a bit disturbed by this*
?????: ::attention back to Al:: You are the only one I have seen wearing a hat like that in person.
IC!Gluttony: *settles for staring at everyone, his finger in his mouth, sort of afraid to talk in case he offends Al again*
P!Al: *twirls* Of course I do! And you obviously don't know what you're talking about Purple Tufo.
OOC!Psiren: *blinks* ...What are we talking about?
?????: I know only what I have read in books and seen myself. Perhaps there is a large group of people somewhere that wear hats like that, which I have not seen.
P!Al: He's making fun of my princess hat! It's the perfect thing for princess to wear, you know.
?????: I do not dispute that.
OOC!Psiren: ...I think what he's trying to say, Al, is that he's never seen a princess before. I'm sure he likes your hat just fine. ^_^;;
?????: In fact, it further justifies what I have said. Princesses are not common.
P!Al: ...Oh. Fine. I'm just awesome and unique, then. Should've just said that!
?????: I will remember that the next time you ask.
IC!Gluttony: ...What is a princessesses?
?????: ::knows better than to answer this, because his definition involves pointing that Al couldn't be one, on the grounds that he is not female::
P!Al: An awesome royal person who is better than everyone else~
IC!Gluttony: ...Oh. *wonders if they taste better than everyone else*
OOC!Psiren: *eyes Bob's hat* ...So... you are supposed to be... an artist?
?????: Yes. I am pretending to be a poet.
P!Al: *eyes light up* Just like the turtle I named you after!
?????: Though I do not know if I will be good at it; I have not tried. Which is why I am not a poet normally.
?????: Yes, that was the origin of the idea.
?????: My only other idea was to pretend to be human, but I did not think that would be as interesting.
P!Al: Hehe, that is so cool. You should read some of Purple Tufo's poetry or something!
OOC!Psiren: *chuckles a little* Well, a poet's certainly interesting....
?????: Do you have any? I have only read the poetry in the study.
P!Al: ...No. I keep forgetting to buy his books.
IC!Gluttony: *wonders what poets taste like*
?????: I may have to create my own, then.
P!Al: Make sure it's about turtles. All good poetry is about them!
?????: Poetry about a specific thing requires a kind of inspiration I do not have.
?????: There is a poet who wrote plays as well, though. The people in them speak in poetry as their normal way of communicating, without any kind of awe towards something specific.
?????: I think that would have to be my kind of poetry.
P!Al: ...That sounds dumb, though.
OOC!Psiren: *chuckles a little* Yes, Al, let's not limit him to one thing if he's never written poetry before. He needs to practice. *amused*
?????: I do not think you would find it so if the conversation were about turtles.
P!Al: ...Can we have a conversation like that about turtles?
OOC!Psiren: ...Are you going to try to speak in rhyme?
?????: I could try.
P!Al: I'm gonna talk normal, though.
?????: Perhaps I should start with free verse, however. It is easier, and I have not tried thinking in poetic meter before.
P!Al: *blinks, has no idea what he's talking about* ...Okay.
OOC!Psiren: *chuckles* Fair enough. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to do that, anyway.
IC!Gluttony: *also lost, is staring intently at a moth on the wall*
?????: Hm. ::tries to come up with a response that scans:: This task is more difficult than it seems.
P!Al: It can't be that hard.
OOC!Psiren: ...It sort of is, actually.... That's why most people aren't poets....
?????: There are rules you must follow... I do not think I have entirely grasped them yet.
P!Al: I bet I could be a poet if I knew those rules, no problem!
?????: Then you should learn.
P!Al: Maybe I will.
?????: Tis a useful skill. ::smirk... maybe rhyming would be easier at first::
P!Al: Tis? Why are you talking funny?
OOC!Psiren: *smiles* Yes, I think that would be fun for you, Al. Sort of like painting. Except not.
OOC!Psiren: *giggles a little*
P!Al: I could write poetry about Captain Click-Clack for my book! That would be so cool.
OOC!Psiren: Yes. I think that's a great idea, Al.
?????: ::abandoning poetry for now:: Captain Click-Clack?
P!Al: He's an awesome turtle with his own ship and he goes out on adventures!
?????: Hm. Poetry about a man such as him would be an interesting venture.
OOC!Psiren: ...I suppose it could be an epic poem?
P!Al: Yeah, it'd have to mention his ship, the S.S. Turtle, and all the battles he's had with hawks...
?????: There are not many words to rhyme with those, though.
P!Al: Does poetry have to rhyme?
?????: No, it does not.
?????: But so far, I have found it more difficult to follow the rules of meter than rhyming.
OOC!Psiren: ...Yes, I would think that would be hard to come up with, right on the spot....
P!Al: Rules of meter? What? ...This is so confusing.
?????: Poetry is confusing.
IC!Gluttony: *doesn't understand half of what is being said, glancing around the room idly*
P!Al: Can we talk about something less confusing and do something fun?
OOC!Psiren: *chuckles a little, smiling* Of course, Al. What would you like to do?
P!Al: Hmm... We could play an awesome game where everyone pampers the princess... *hopes she'll go for it*
OOC!Psiren: ...We should probably do something where everyone can participate, ah, equally.... ^_^;;
?????: A venture from which I fear I would have to digress.
P!Al: Everyone would get to equally pamper me, though!
OOC!Psiren: *giggles again at his rhyming*
OOC!Psiren: ...Do you have any other ideas, Al? If we had a few choices, then maybe we could, um, vote, or something....
P!Al: I guess we could play truth or dare...
OOC!Psiren: *feels old, all of a sudden* Truth or Dare... goodness, it's been years....
IC!Gluttony: ...What is it? It is a game?
?????: A game to frame shame.
IC!Gluttony: *confused* ...What?
OOC!Psiren: *bites her lip so she doesn't laugh*
P!Al: *gives Tufo a weird look before answering Gluttony* It's an awesome game where you ask someone truth or dare!
?????: ::smirks... is kind of enjoying this::
IC!Gluttony: *ponders this* Truth or dare? *doesn't see why that's fun*
P!Al: Yeah! If they pick truth, you can ask them something, and if they pick dare, you can make them do something really stupid~
IC!Gluttony: *scratches his head* ...Okay.... *doesn't get it*
P!Al: Just play it, it's fun!
OOC!Psiren: ...Well, I suppose I'm game....
?????: I will say the same.
P!Al: Who gets to ask first~?
OOC!Psiren: *smiles* Why don't you go ahead, Al, since you're the princess... ah, do we want to sit down, or something? In the parlor, maybe?
P!Al: Hee~ I know who I'm gonna ask! *big grin as he skips into the parlor room*
?????: ::follows, glances over at Clara with a smirk. would have replied if the only word he could think of to rhyme with "maybe" wasn't "baby"::
IC!Gluttony: *follows after him, vaguely curious*
P!Al: *finds himself a seat as he giggles to himself*
OOC!Psiren: *laughs a little* Well, alright then. *goes into the parlor, sitting in a convenient chair near Al's*
?????: ::sits down across from them and readjusts his hat::
IC!Gluttony: *plops down on the ground next to Al, chewing on a finger absently*
P!Al: Okay! Gluttony! Truth or dare?
IC!Gluttony: *blinks, not entirely sure what's going on* Uhhhhhhhhhhh... truth?
P!Al: What color undies are you wearing~? *giggles loudly*
IC!Gluttony: ...What is undies?
P!Al: The stuff you wear under your clothes that covers your bum, duh.
OOC!Psiren: *puts her face in her hands*
OOC!Psiren: .................
?????: ::watches Clara's reactions, smirks::
P!Al: *ignoring Clara and waiting intently for Gluttony's answer*
IC!Gluttony: *confused* ...I just is wearing clothings, why wear things under clothings?
P!Al: *blinks* So you aren't wearing undies?
OOC!Psiren: *shakes her head, keeping her hands over face, does not want to be hearing this*
IC!Gluttony: ...No....
OOC!Psiren: *already knows this... did not want to remember*
P!Al: How could you not wear undies?! *completely shocked*
IC!Gluttony: *scratches head, confused* ...Don't know why wear clothings under clothings....
OOC!Psiren: *peeks out from behind her hands* Okay!! I think it's Gluttony's turn now!!
P!Al: You're just supposed to! I guess you could borrow some of mine or something...
?????: Underclothes are more of a human thing.
OOC!Psiren: *covers her eyes again* ...Do we have to talk about this? Gluttony, your turn!
IC!Gluttony: ...Huh?
OOC!Psiren: ...Ask someone truth or dare. Please.
P!Al: *pouts a little, but drops it and waits for his turn again*
IC!Gluttony: ...Kay. Uhhhhhhh... Vengeance Other Stuff, truth or dare?
?????: Hm. ::doesn't lie, so truth is easy, but is invulnerable, so dare isn't much of a threat either... oh well, it ends in dare, and he's rhyming... but that'd be expected...::
?????: I will go with truth, it is easy to share.
IC!Gluttony: *stares at him blankly for a bit, before remembering he's supposed to ask him something* ...Ummmmmmm....
OOC!Psiren: *bites her lip again, finds the rhyming endlessly amusing, for some reason*
P!Al: *rolls his eyes a bit, already getting impatient*
IC!Gluttony: ...What is your favoritist thing for eating?
?????: Hm. To say I do not eat much would be cheating.
So Clara's cakes, I will say, are best for eating.
P!Al: Mmm, they are yummy~
OOC!Psiren: *laughs, blushing slightly* Oh, well, thank you!
?????: ::smirk:: You are welcome, too, but your gratefulness is undue,
for I will let the truth or dare fall next to you.
OOC!Psiren: *laughs again* Um, alright then... I guess dare, why not?
P!Al: *mutters to himself* ...Better not make Auntie Clara do something horrible...
IC!Gluttony: *still not sure what the purpose of this game is, but has become determined to eat Clara's cake as soon as possible*
OOC!Psiren: *hears Al, smiles a little*
?????: Hm...
OOC!Psiren: *turns her sceptre in her hands absently, awaiting her dare with just the slightest bit of apprehension*
?????: Perhaps, at Al's request, it is best
to stay clear of the deplorable.
In which case, I should suggest,
a silly dance would be adorable.
P!Al: *giggles, glad it was a harmless dare* Go Auntie Clara!
OOC!Psiren: *laughs again, blushing a little* A silly dance? Oh dear.... Um.... *bites her lip, setting down her sceptre and standing, trying to think of dance moves through a mild case of stage fright*
OOC!Psiren: Err... *blushing furiously, goes for a mock-ballet, dancing on her tip-toes and waving her arms around, doing a few (small) leaps before ending with a twirl, laughing* ...How's that?
P!Al: *claps* Perfect! You're an awesome dancer, Auntie Clara~
IC!Gluttony: Hee, silly dance~!
?????: ::smirks::
OOC!Psiren: *bright red* Ah, thanks Al.... *laughs, embarrassed, sitting down quickly* ...Um... I guess it's my turn, then.... Al, truth or dare?
OOC!Alfons: *wanders out in search of water, very hung over and half-drunk, suddenly aware of a commotion downstairs and starts in that general direction to investigate*
P!Al: Hmm... *in deep though over this for about two seconds* Truth~!
OOC!Psiren: Hmm, okay, let me think....
OOC!Psiren: ...What is your absolute most favorite memory? ...Or one of them, if you've got more than one.
?????: ::looks over at Hei... decides now is not the time to tease him about killing him, since he looks half-dead already::
OOC!Alfons: *rubs at his eyes, grunting vaguely and oozing down the wall slowly* Nnnnghh?
P!Al: *too wrapped up in this to notice Hei* Oh my Divine Turtle... I think, it would have to be this one time, when I had a boyfriend and we went and attacked brother together and totally kicked his bum!
OOC!Psiren: ...Err.... *notices Hei* ...Hei! You're awake! *frowns, standing* ...Goodness, you look terrible....
IC!Gluttony: *blinks at him* You smells kinda funny....
OOC!Alfons: Thanks. *half-smile/grimaces* ...To both of you
P!Al: *pouts a bit and looks Hei up and down* ...You're not in a costume.
OOC!Alfons: *blinks groggily at the group, fully taking in the sight* What... the fuck. How drunk am I?
OOC!Psiren: *goes over to him* ...Sorry. But you are rather a mess. Can I get you anything? Water?
OOC!Psiren: *frowns when he swears*
P!Al: Drunk enough you're not wearing a costume...
IC!Gluttony: We has a party! :DD
OOC!Alfons: *decides he isn't hallucinating from alchohol mixed with lack of sleep* Er, whad'do we have?
OOC!Psiren: Um, the usual... water, tea, juice.... I don't suppose you're hungry....
OOC!Alfons: *makes a face at the mention of food* Nguh. Water'll be fine, an' I can grab it. Sorry t' innerupt. *waves a hand and oozes his way to the kitchen*
?????: ::watches him intently, an odd curiosity about him since he never got to meet the alchemist who created him::
P!Al: Are we gonna have to stop playing our game? *frowns*
OOC!Alfons: *disappears into the kitchen, doing a bit of crashing around, finding a glass, and getting some water*
OOC!Psiren: *fidgets, frowning with concern, calling after him* Hei, let me know if you need something... okay? *looks back towards Al* ...Ah... no sweetie, you go ahead and ask someone a question, okay?
OOC!Psiren: *hovering anxiously, not sure whether she should sit down again or go help Hei*
P!Al: Okay, good, 'cause I wanted to ask Purple Tufo truth or dare!
OOC!Alfons: HRRRNG! *from the kitchen, chugging his glass of water and mussing at his hair*
?????: What you ask, I do not care
I will choose ::looks up at the awful noise in the kitchen:: What was that?
OOC!Psiren: ...Hei?
P!Al: *not liking how much attention Hei is getting and pouts*
?????: ::gets up and goes to look in on Hei, curious::
OOC!Alfons: 'M GOOD! ...sorry... *finishes his water, wondering if he could fit in the refrigerator because that suddenly seems like a really inviting place to go back to sleep*
OOC!Psiren: *sighs, going and sitting back in her chair, a bit distraught, smiling at Al apologetically*
P!Al: *frowns* This sucks.
?????: ::stares at Hei a bit longer, then returns to his seat, a bit baffled-amused:: I pick dare, Al.
OOC!Alfons: *wanders back out, tripping over a couch and deciding that it really isn't so bad, settling down on it and watching*
P!Al: *didn't expect him to answer right them* Uhh... Give Dante a kiss!
OOC!Psiren: *is sort of relieved to have Hei where she can keep an eye on him*
OOC!Psiren: *chuckles a little*
?????: ::looks at the two turtles:: Which is the miss?
P!Al: The one on my shoulder, of course!
OOC!Alfons: *half-asleep, drooling unobtrusively on a cushion*
?????: ::walks over and picks her up off his shoulder and holds her up to his face for a bit... gives her a quick peck and sets her back on Al's shoulder::
OOC!Psiren: *highly amused*
P!Al: *giggles while Dante looks as red as a turtle could possibly get* She liked that~
OOC!Psiren: *blinks... did the turtle just blush?*
IC!Gluttony: *thoughts wandering again... stares blankly at Hei*
?????: She did? ::looks more closely at her... blushing...:: I would not have expected that.
P!Al: Well... *covers Dante's "ears"* Don't tell her I told you, but... She likes you!
OOC!Psiren: *giggles a little*
?????: ::smirks, nearly laughing:: I did not think I was the type a turtle would pursue.
OOC!Alfons: *finds himself watching in a sort of morbid fascination, and mostly convinced this is a dream what with the scary dead thing making out with a reptile*
P!Al: I didn't either, but I guess she thinks you're cute or something.
OOC!Psiren: *giggles more*
?????: Hm. ::baffled out of rhyming:: That is unusual.
P!Al: Don't be mean to her ever, got it? 'Cause if you are, you're dead!
?????: I will keep that in mind.
P!Al: ...What should we do now, Auntie Clara?
?????: Would you like me to ask you truth or dare again?
OOC!Psiren: *smothering her giggling, finally, with some difficulty*
P!Al: That game is getting boring.
OOC!Alfons: *watching with a bit more interest now*
OOC!Psiren: Um... I don't know... do you have any more ideas? *trying to think what other sorts of things people do at these sorts of parties*
P!Al: I'm not sure... I kind of want to go upstairs and try doing poetry or something...
OOC!Alfons: *slips off the couch into a heap but manages to not really notice*
?????: ::glances at Hei::
OOC!Psiren: Um, sure, if you'd like... I don't know how well I'd do at writing poetry, but I could try.... *turns to look at Hei, startled* ...Oh dear. Hei? Are you alright?
OOC!Alfons: *gurgles contentedly from the floor*
?????: I can show you which books to look at, if you would like.
P!Al: I wanted to practice it myself, so I could get really good at it and stuff... *blinks at Hei, then Tufo* It's not a lot of reading, is it?
?????: If you read all of it, it is.
P!Al: ...Not reading it all, then.
?????: You are free to choose which of them you read.
P!Al: Okay, fine. Show me what I need to look at and then let me practice!
OOC!Alfons: *out cold on the floor*
?????: All right. ::stands and waits to lead the way to the study::
OOC!Psiren: *goes over to Hei, shaking his shoulder* Hei? Hei, wake up!
IC!Gluttony: *staring at Hei*
P!Al: *pouts once more when he glances at Clara and Hei before following Tufo*
OOC!Alfons: Nnnnnnnnnnnggggh. Don' wanna! *keeps his eyes stubbornly closed*
OOC!Psiren: *feeling sort of frazzled* Come on Hei, get up. We should get you into bed.
OOC!Alfons: Cann'I sleep here? *flails limply*
OOC!Psiren: ...Can you at least get onto the couch? You'll have a crick in your neck in the morning if you sleep like this....
IC!Gluttony: *gets up and wanders over to them, looking down at Hei curiously* ...Hei is kinda floppy....
OOC!Alfons: *blinks slowly* ...M'kay. Sorry, Clara. *manages to scrape himself off the floor and wander toward the staircase*
OOC!Alfons: *eyes Gluttony nervously*
OOC!Psiren: *frowns, following after him, making sure he doesn't fall down*
IC!Gluttony: *stares after them, one finger in his mouth*

P!Al: Everyone would get to equally pamper me, though!
OOC!Psiren: *giggles again at his rhyming*
OOC!Psiren: ...Do you have any other ideas, Al? If we had a few choices, then maybe we could, um, vote, or something....
P!Al: I guess we could play truth or dare...
OOC!Psiren: *feels old, all of a sudden* Truth or Dare... goodness, it's been years....
IC!Gluttony: ...What is it? It is a game?
?????: A game to frame shame.
IC!Gluttony: *confused* ...What?
OOC!Psiren: *bites her lip so she doesn't laugh*
P!Al: *gives Tufo a weird look before answering Gluttony* It's an awesome game where you ask someone truth or dare!
?????: ::smirks... is kind of enjoying this::
IC!Gluttony: *ponders this* Truth or dare? *doesn't see why that's fun*
P!Al: Yeah! If they pick truth, you can ask them something, and if they pick dare, you can make them do something really stupid~
IC!Gluttony: *scratches his head* ...Okay.... *doesn't get it*
P!Al: Just play it, it's fun!
OOC!Psiren: ...Well, I suppose I'm game....
?????: I will say the same.
P!Al: Who gets to ask first~?
OOC!Psiren: *smiles* Why don't you go ahead, Al, since you're the princess... ah, do we want to sit down, or something? In the parlor, maybe?
P!Al: Hee~ I know who I'm gonna ask! *big grin as he skips into the parlor room*
?????: ::follows, glances over at Clara with a smirk. would have replied if the only word he could think of to rhyme with "maybe" wasn't "baby"::
IC!Gluttony: *follows after him, vaguely curious*
P!Al: *finds himself a seat as he giggles to himself*
OOC!Psiren: *laughs a little* Well, alright then. *goes into the parlor, sitting in a convenient chair near Al's*
?????: ::sits down across from them and readjusts his hat::
IC!Gluttony: *plops down on the ground next to Al, chewing on a finger absently*
P!Al: Okay! Gluttony! Truth or dare?
IC!Gluttony: *blinks, not entirely sure what's going on* Uhhhhhhhhhhh... truth?
P!Al: What color undies are you wearing~? *giggles loudly*
IC!Gluttony: ...What is undies?
P!Al: The stuff you wear under your clothes that covers your bum, duh.
OOC!Psiren: *puts her face in her hands*
OOC!Psiren: .................
?????: ::watches Clara's reactions, smirks::
P!Al: *ignoring Clara and waiting intently for Gluttony's answer*
IC!Gluttony: *confused* ...I just is wearing clothings, why wear things under clothings?
P!Al: *blinks* So you aren't wearing undies?
OOC!Psiren: *shakes her head, keeping her hands over face, does not want to be hearing this*
IC!Gluttony: ...No....
OOC!Psiren: *already knows this... did not want to remember*
P!Al: How could you not wear undies?! *completely shocked*
IC!Gluttony: *scratches head, confused* ...Don't know why wear clothings under clothings....
OOC!Psiren: *peeks out from behind her hands* Okay!! I think it's Gluttony's turn now!!
P!Al: You're just supposed to! I guess you could borrow some of mine or something...
?????: Underclothes are more of a human thing.
OOC!Psiren: *covers her eyes again* ...Do we have to talk about this? Gluttony, your turn!
IC!Gluttony: ...Huh?
OOC!Psiren: ...Ask someone truth or dare. Please.
P!Al: *pouts a little, but drops it and waits for his turn again*
IC!Gluttony: ...Kay. Uhhhhhhh... Vengeance Other Stuff, truth or dare?
?????: Hm. ::doesn't lie, so truth is easy, but is invulnerable, so dare isn't much of a threat either... oh well, it ends in dare, and he's rhyming... but that'd be expected...::
?????: I will go with truth, it is easy to share.
IC!Gluttony: *stares at him blankly for a bit, before remembering he's supposed to ask him something* ...Ummmmmmm....
OOC!Psiren: *bites her lip again, finds the rhyming endlessly amusing, for some reason*
P!Al: *rolls his eyes a bit, already getting impatient*
IC!Gluttony: ...What is your favoritist thing for eating?
?????: Hm. To say I do not eat much would be cheating.
So Clara's cakes, I will say, are best for eating.
P!Al: Mmm, they are yummy~
OOC!Psiren: *laughs, blushing slightly* Oh, well, thank you!
?????: ::smirk:: You are welcome, too, but your gratefulness is undue,
for I will let the truth or dare fall next to you.
OOC!Psiren: *laughs again* Um, alright then... I guess dare, why not?
P!Al: *mutters to himself* ...Better not make Auntie Clara do something horrible...
IC!Gluttony: *still not sure what the purpose of this game is, but has become determined to eat Clara's cake as soon as possible*
OOC!Psiren: *hears Al, smiles a little*
?????: Hm...
OOC!Psiren: *turns her sceptre in her hands absently, awaiting her dare with just the slightest bit of apprehension*
?????: Perhaps, at Al's request, it is best
to stay clear of the deplorable.
In which case, I should suggest,
a silly dance would be adorable.
P!Al: *giggles, glad it was a harmless dare* Go Auntie Clara!
OOC!Psiren: *laughs again, blushing a little* A silly dance? Oh dear.... Um.... *bites her lip, setting down her sceptre and standing, trying to think of dance moves through a mild case of stage fright*
OOC!Psiren: Err... *blushing furiously, goes for a mock-ballet, dancing on her tip-toes and waving her arms around, doing a few (small) leaps before ending with a twirl, laughing* ...How's that?
P!Al: *claps* Perfect! You're an awesome dancer, Auntie Clara~
IC!Gluttony: Hee, silly dance~!
?????: ::smirks::
OOC!Psiren: *bright red* Ah, thanks Al.... *laughs, embarrassed, sitting down quickly* ...Um... I guess it's my turn, then.... Al, truth or dare?
OOC!Alfons: *wanders out in search of water, very hung over and half-drunk, suddenly aware of a commotion downstairs and starts in that general direction to investigate*
P!Al: Hmm... *in deep though over this for about two seconds* Truth~!
OOC!Psiren: Hmm, okay, let me think....
OOC!Psiren: ...What is your absolute most favorite memory? ...Or one of them, if you've got more than one.
?????: ::looks over at Hei... decides now is not the time to tease him about killing him, since he looks half-dead already::
OOC!Alfons: *rubs at his eyes, grunting vaguely and oozing down the wall slowly* Nnnnghh?
P!Al: *too wrapped up in this to notice Hei* Oh my Divine Turtle... I think, it would have to be this one time, when I had a boyfriend and we went and attacked brother together and totally kicked his bum!
OOC!Psiren: ...Err.... *notices Hei* ...Hei! You're awake! *frowns, standing* ...Goodness, you look terrible....
IC!Gluttony: *blinks at him* You smells kinda funny....
OOC!Alfons: Thanks. *half-smile/grimaces* ...To both of you
P!Al: *pouts a bit and looks Hei up and down* ...You're not in a costume.
OOC!Alfons: *blinks groggily at the group, fully taking in the sight* What... the fuck. How drunk am I?
OOC!Psiren: *goes over to him* ...Sorry. But you are rather a mess. Can I get you anything? Water?
OOC!Psiren: *frowns when he swears*
P!Al: Drunk enough you're not wearing a costume...
IC!Gluttony: We has a party! :DD
OOC!Alfons: *decides he isn't hallucinating from alchohol mixed with lack of sleep* Er, whad'do we have?
OOC!Psiren: Um, the usual... water, tea, juice.... I don't suppose you're hungry....
OOC!Alfons: *makes a face at the mention of food* Nguh. Water'll be fine, an' I can grab it. Sorry t' innerupt. *waves a hand and oozes his way to the kitchen*
?????: ::watches him intently, an odd curiosity about him since he never got to meet the alchemist who created him::
P!Al: Are we gonna have to stop playing our game? *frowns*
OOC!Alfons: *disappears into the kitchen, doing a bit of crashing around, finding a glass, and getting some water*
OOC!Psiren: *fidgets, frowning with concern, calling after him* Hei, let me know if you need something... okay? *looks back towards Al* ...Ah... no sweetie, you go ahead and ask someone a question, okay?
OOC!Psiren: *hovering anxiously, not sure whether she should sit down again or go help Hei*
P!Al: Okay, good, 'cause I wanted to ask Purple Tufo truth or dare!
OOC!Alfons: HRRRNG! *from the kitchen, chugging his glass of water and mussing at his hair*
?????: What you ask, I do not care
I will choose ::looks up at the awful noise in the kitchen:: What was that?
OOC!Psiren: ...Hei?
P!Al: *not liking how much attention Hei is getting and pouts*
?????: ::gets up and goes to look in on Hei, curious::
OOC!Alfons: 'M GOOD! ...sorry... *finishes his water, wondering if he could fit in the refrigerator because that suddenly seems like a really inviting place to go back to sleep*
OOC!Psiren: *sighs, going and sitting back in her chair, a bit distraught, smiling at Al apologetically*
P!Al: *frowns* This sucks.
?????: ::stares at Hei a bit longer, then returns to his seat, a bit baffled-amused:: I pick dare, Al.
OOC!Alfons: *wanders back out, tripping over a couch and deciding that it really isn't so bad, settling down on it and watching*
P!Al: *didn't expect him to answer right them* Uhh... Give Dante a kiss!
OOC!Psiren: *is sort of relieved to have Hei where she can keep an eye on him*
OOC!Psiren: *chuckles a little*
?????: ::looks at the two turtles:: Which is the miss?
P!Al: The one on my shoulder, of course!
OOC!Alfons: *half-asleep, drooling unobtrusively on a cushion*
?????: ::walks over and picks her up off his shoulder and holds her up to his face for a bit... gives her a quick peck and sets her back on Al's shoulder::
OOC!Psiren: *highly amused*
P!Al: *giggles while Dante looks as red as a turtle could possibly get* She liked that~
OOC!Psiren: *blinks... did the turtle just blush?*
IC!Gluttony: *thoughts wandering again... stares blankly at Hei*
?????: She did? ::looks more closely at her... blushing...:: I would not have expected that.
P!Al: Well... *covers Dante's "ears"* Don't tell her I told you, but... She likes you!
OOC!Psiren: *giggles a little*
?????: ::smirks, nearly laughing:: I did not think I was the type a turtle would pursue.
OOC!Alfons: *finds himself watching in a sort of morbid fascination, and mostly convinced this is a dream what with the scary dead thing making out with a reptile*
P!Al: I didn't either, but I guess she thinks you're cute or something.
OOC!Psiren: *giggles more*
?????: Hm. ::baffled out of rhyming:: That is unusual.
P!Al: Don't be mean to her ever, got it? 'Cause if you are, you're dead!
?????: I will keep that in mind.
P!Al: ...What should we do now, Auntie Clara?
?????: Would you like me to ask you truth or dare again?
OOC!Psiren: *smothering her giggling, finally, with some difficulty*
P!Al: That game is getting boring.
OOC!Alfons: *watching with a bit more interest now*
OOC!Psiren: Um... I don't know... do you have any more ideas? *trying to think what other sorts of things people do at these sorts of parties*
P!Al: I'm not sure... I kind of want to go upstairs and try doing poetry or something...
OOC!Alfons: *slips off the couch into a heap but manages to not really notice*
?????: ::glances at Hei::
OOC!Psiren: Um, sure, if you'd like... I don't know how well I'd do at writing poetry, but I could try.... *turns to look at Hei, startled* ...Oh dear. Hei? Are you alright?
OOC!Alfons: *gurgles contentedly from the floor*
?????: I can show you which books to look at, if you would like.
P!Al: I wanted to practice it myself, so I could get really good at it and stuff... *blinks at Hei, then Tufo* It's not a lot of reading, is it?
?????: If you read all of it, it is.
P!Al: ...Not reading it all, then.
?????: You are free to choose which of them you read.
P!Al: Okay, fine. Show me what I need to look at and then let me practice!
OOC!Alfons: *out cold on the floor*
?????: All right. ::stands and waits to lead the way to the study::
OOC!Psiren: *goes over to Hei, shaking his shoulder* Hei? Hei, wake up!
IC!Gluttony: *staring at Hei*
P!Al: *pouts once more when he glances at Clara and Hei before following Tufo*
OOC!Alfons: Nnnnnnnnnnnggggh. Don' wanna! *keeps his eyes stubbornly closed*
OOC!Psiren: *feeling sort of frazzled* Come on Hei, get up. We should get you into bed.
OOC!Alfons: Cann'I sleep here? *flails limply*
OOC!Psiren: ...Can you at least get onto the couch? You'll have a crick in your neck in the morning if you sleep like this....
IC!Gluttony: *gets up and wanders over to them, looking down at Hei curiously* ...Hei is kinda floppy....
OOC!Alfons: *blinks slowly* ...M'kay. Sorry, Clara. *manages to scrape himself off the floor and wander toward the staircase*
OOC!Alfons: *eyes Gluttony nervously*
OOC!Psiren: *frowns, following after him, making sure he doesn't fall down*
IC!Gluttony: *stares after them, one finger in his mouth*
