LIAR HELL MINGLE - GAME NIGHT TRUTH OR DRINK

[neigh_sayer]

Who: Anyone
Where: Some Fance Liar Restaurant (or where ever)
When: Thursday Afternoon-Evening

[HEY DUDES IT'S A MINGLE, BUT ALSO TRUTH OR DRINK

Sometime Thursday all idols will get a text, or maybe they just heard word of mouth, of some upscale restaurant! All drinks and food are FREE...........if you participate in Truth or Drink!! It's an idol exclusive promotion, and the 'payment' is just that, participation! No worries, nothing is being filmed (though if you want some fans creeping through the window, feel free), but if you don't play you'll have to barter something else for your food and drink!

For those in Vengeance hell, they can play via face time at a smaller cafe on the other side--one of the vengeance demons lost a bet to a liar demon and that's the only reason they're participating. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

HAVE AT. Don't want truth and drink? feel free to use this mingle for something else entirely like normal.]

Pot, kettle.

[laughs a little too hard and takes another drink]

[foolmetwice]

[UGH!1]

[flips him off and takes another drink of his own, sulking a bit as he does so]

[afailedmurder]

You're looking more vivid, by the way. What happened?

[foolmetwice]

Extended contact with my unit, probably. And--

[gestures to his right arm, which is covered by the sleeve of his jacket but there's a black mark on his wrist]

Got some more glue to help hold me in place in lieu of just my team.

[afailedmurder]

I see.

[his feathers ruffle a little]

[foolmetwice]

Relax. It's nothing different than what everyone else got upon coming here.

Easier to hide than wings, too.

[well. the tattoo on his arm is. the shadowy edges, the golden eyes? less so, but whatever]

[afailedmurder]

I suppose there's no choice but to accept these things...

[foolmetwice]

"Accept" is a strong word. I choose not to worry too much when I've got bigger things to focus on.

[and that seems to be the end of that, although when he finishes speaking, there's hesitation. like. . . he's teetering on the edge of saying something else]

[afailedmurder]

[studies his expression]

And?

[foolmetwice]

No "and," really. Something you said earlier in the conversation just made me think about something.

[puffs on his cigarette, smoke curling around the table as they talk]

[afailedmurder]

Which thing?

[foolmetwice]

The thing.

[THE THING very descriptive Mars]

About Joker needing you.

[afailedmurder]

[a little hesitant now]

What about it?

[foolmetwice]

[look this has already gone well into feelings territory why can't it just DIVE DEEPER into it]

I don't need anyone. Obviously.

[he sounds a little petulant when he says that, like a child insisting they're an adult]

But out of everyone I've known, the only person who ever made me feel like they needed me was Lily.

I guess you made me think about that; 'S all. Not a big deal, or anything.

[afailedmurder]

I see.

That must be difficult. The ones we miss most are not the ones we need, but the ones who need us. Human nature is a funny thing, isn't it?

[eats a nacho]

[foolmetwice]

[. . .]

[munches on a nacho himself, washing it down with a swig of his drink]

. . . or something like that.

[afailedmurder]

...I have another question.

[finishing off his second drink first though]

The monogamy. Was that your idea or his?

[foolmetwice]

Mine.

[swirling his drink around in his glass, gaze kind of distant, like he's reminiscing]

I needed it. [. . .] I wanted it.

Everyone else jumps so easily into relationships with more than one person, but at the time I couldn't fathom doing that myself. I didn't understand how everyone found it so easy when I had a hard time just juggling one relationship.

[a pause]

Plus, I wanted to feel like there was someone here-- just one person-- that I didn't have to share.

[afailedmurder]

[mumblegrumble]

Must have been nice.

[foolmetwice]

[arches a brow]

It was. 'Cause of that when we both decided to pursue someone else, I didn't feel like-- you know. I was less important to him than that other person.

[. . . and now that Lily's gone. . . well. don't focus on that, Mars]

You almost sound jealous.

[afailedmurder]

Envious. I've never had the option.

[foolmetwice]

[ha]

Well, look who you're with. Joker's not a monogamous person; it'd be unfair to ask him to be something he's not. Anyone who involves themselves with him has to understand that.

[he might also be talking to himself, there]

But on the other hand, you're not wrong for. . . you know. Wanting to remain exclusive. It's just clear that exclusivity isn't more important to you than Joker is.

[afailedmurder]

He's always trying to get me to be more like him. Tells me to get to know people and "be myself." Talk about shitty advice.

[snapping his fingers for the bartender. WHY IS THERE NOT ANOTHER DRINK IN FRONT OF A ALREADY]

[foolmetwice]

I mean, you should totally be more like yourself. I like it better when you're an asshole, personally.

[. . .]

[FINALLY ORDERING A SECOND DRINK OF HIS OWN]

[afailedmurder]

That's what Joker says, but I guarantee you the people who can see what I'm really like and not flinch are few and far between.

And that says nothing of trying to date. I'm fairly sure my dating pool is exclusively limited to overeager thots with no sense of standards.
