Who: Everyone
When: Day 87, late morning
Where: Everywhere
What: Bonding~

[Oh man, someone's being a dick and handcuffing people together, suddenly you find yourself chained to a random bystander. The cuffs have a note attached:

"To unlock, do one of the following:
1) Complete any task together (bake a cake, move a bookshelf, develop a synchronised swimming routine, etc.)
2) Reveal an insecurity
3) Discover a common bond between the two of you
4) Play four founds of truth or dare each.
5) Make out. For about five minutes. Or longer, if you like.

Good luck figuring out which is your key."]

((No matter how hard you budge, the handcuffs won't come off. It's possible to get stuck in these handcuffs several times throughout the day, even if you try to hide somewhere secluded they will find you. If there's something you really want to do but your character ICly wouldn't feel free to have that as your get-out clause, be as free-form as you want.))

It isn't half so useful if they're already grown. But whatever. Well discuss it later, shall we?

Sometimes, briefly, I do grow bored.. But no, not overall.

Perhaps.

... last one.

Dare.

Ooooooooh.

[oh no. this great power of being enabled to get him to do anything within the boundaries of your first dare. what do?

just drinking. nonchalant. seemingly]

[ gosh.

Have to pick something which is good awkward harassment, but not good enough that you can call her out for not behaving. Tough, but yukari is good at awkward.]

My feet hurt. I want a foot massage.

[. . .

s-straightest of faces. and gesturing for her to take off her shoes.]

[yukari's attempts at straight face are failing pretty miserably

can just toe them off, since they are ones she got from selyir instead of her usual knee-high death boots, luckily

sitting on a nearby ledge so you can get to it!!!!]

[well, sitting next to and pulling her feet into his lap so he can work at them easier]

I half-expected you to bend the rules on "behaving".

Well, Truth or Dare is a game with set rules, and so participating obligates me contractually to follow them. Of course, it would serve you right if I had made you do something terrible, for making such a vague dare. One could easily interpret an order to "behave" as an order to behave badly. You should thank me for letting you off the hook.

I should thank you for living up to expectations.

[is, at least, pretty good at this massage thing, hands are steady, firm yet gentle. good sense of control of himself even when inebriated.]

[this isn't making me want to bang you any less bro]

If you expected me to behave in a particular fashion, you ought to have specified. Fortunately for you, I'm willing to show some mercy to a mere human unschooled in the ways of Truth or Dare.

[get in line]

You're right. I didn't have much time for games like that after a point.

Your generosity still won't sway me into handing over one of my children, though.

[i don't want to have to wait behind kirei and iri and your kids]

I said I'd give it back.

[that's too bad--though feel free to skip Kirei]

My previous points on that still stand.

[you're gonna make me wait after your kids

god damnit kiritsugu]

You didn't have any points. All of your points were just you vacillating for no good reason. They can't continue to stand because they never stood in the first place.

No, I'm pretty sure my decision was that I would not allow it at least to an age where they themselves can consent.

... don't you think already losing two children before they or I were ready is enough?

Hm. I'd say you're being dramatic, but I guess being attached is your charm point, so I'll forgive you. Education is compulsory in Japan until adulthood, so I'll just snatch it for a few hours a day and we'll call it square.

If it's something like that Ran should be supervising.

That is if Iri would consent to that. I'm making no deals here.

[I'm sorry, trusting you with kids would be unwise]

[just, handwave. like, gosh, Iri is cool, unlike you, so she'll totally agree to this]

Ran is a busy person. I'm good at teaching kids things, so please don't be so suspicious.

[you'd be surprised when it comes to things like this]

If I weren't suspicious, I'd be an even worse father than I already am.

Your kids don't have any complaints. Funny, that.

[just kind of hums in vague acknowledgement before switching to the other foot.

... you're not ticklish are you?]

[NO

yes]

[:x

continuing to massage, completely innocent of investigating such things, of course. naturally]

[was that a sneeze or a hastily suppressed laugh

YOU DECIDE]
