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.]

Looking to repeat your year a few more times?

[foolmetwice]

[WRY]

The ninety-second time was so much fun why wouldn't I try for a ninety-third?

But— no. That's not it.

[afailedmurder]

What is it, then?

[foolmetwice]

[. . . knocks back the rest of his drink and waves a hand at a waiter for more]

Not my Fox. Not my Noir. Not my Panther. Not my Crow.

[he states that mechanically like he's repeating a mantra]

I don't really belong here.

[afailedmurder]

That's another thing we have in common.

[also getting another]

But so what? Isn't it better to have friends who aren't always being reset? Aren't I better than someone who's always trying to murder you?

[foolmetwice]

[. . . huffs]

It isn't a matter of who is better. It's the fact that while I'm here, they're presumably still stuck in some shitty time loop.

Am I supposed to just leave them there?

[. . .]

And regardless of who is better— [altho yeah A will always be better than some guy who keeps trying to MUDER HIM] — you'll always have Joker.

[afailedmurder]

[...]

[takes a long drink]

Yes. Of course.

[foolmetwice]

. . . that said, yeah, you're like a billion times better than an asshole who keeps killing me.

[. . .]

[DOWNS HIS NEW DRINK IN ONE GULP]

I'm not jealous of Joker, I'm just— [WAGS HANDS VAGUELY LIKE THEY CONVEY HIS WORDS]

[afailedmurder]

Envious. When you want to be him, it's "envious." "Jealous" is the thing that I am of Joker.

...Also, envious.

[foolmetwice]

Yeah okay, grammar asshole. Stop having things in common with me.

[MAKES A FACE]

I don't want to be him either, and it isn't like he doesn't deserve everything he has. He's stupidly charming and brave and has this stupidly huge heart that's big enough for however many people he wants to fit into it. He's kind and forgiving and firm when he’s gotta be but patient when he doesn't. He fucks up but he tries to be a better person afterwards, which is a lot more than I can say about myself and is kind of admirable in some stupidly naive way.

[THROWS HIS HANDS IN THE AIR]

I wanna shove his face into the toilet and kiss him at the same time.

[gross]

[afailedmurder]

Yeah...

I miss him.

[foolmetwice]

Gross.

[mars don't be rude]

Go see him, you idiot.

[afailedmurder]

Mm. It's probably been long enough now...

[foolmetwice]

Probably.

[resting his forehead against the table, whew]

Long enough since when?

[afailedmurder]

Long enough that I'm not just dropping everything to chase after somebody who wouldn't do the same for me.

[foolmetwice]

[. . . oh. . .]

[o h]

That's bullshit. He would.

[afailedmurder]

...I don't mean that he'd abandon me. I know he wouldn't.

[foolmetwice]

Then what d'you mean?

[his words are a little slurred, muffled by the table]

You said it yourself. He needs you. Don't be self-conscious. At least someone here does.

[afailedmurder]

I don't know that he still does. I feel like a satellite in his orbit.

[foolmetwice]

[so do I]

[slumps a little in his seat]

So talk to him about it. Pour out your feelings like you did with me. Work through it. I'm pretty sure that's what people in healthy relationships do? Or. . . something.

[take ur own advice, Mars]

[afailedmurder]

[shakes his head]

I've burdened everybody long enough with my stupid shit. Especially Joker.

[foolmetwice]

Do you think he'd still be with you if he cared? Or like. . . I dunno. Actually thought it was a burden?

[afailedmurder]

W-well...

Everyone has their limits.

[foolmetwice]

[GIVES HIM A DEAD-EYED LOOK]

Why are you arguing with me.

[afailedmurder]

[drops his head to the table]

I have no idea.
