Take Back the Crown


Phaedra gave Dorian a small apologetic wave as she floated to 'seat' herself between the two, still hovering a few inches above the ground. Why sit on the hard ground when you can sit light as a feather on air?
​


 
​


"Ahaha.. I apologize, Dorian. I didn't think Kacel'la would have made you give up your spot."
​


She gave a small, nervous giggle before deciding it'd likely be best if she just shut her mouth about it, promptly filling her mouth with a large bite of a biscuit and a spoonful of the stew.

Hearing her name, Nameen found the source to be Kacel'la gesturing for her to sit down in the circle.  Wondering what she was going to regret later on, she strode over and sat herself down next to the laughing elf.

Oceana looked up, eyes glinting. She would wreak her revenge on someone for this humiliation. Instantly locking eyes with Phaedra after she sat, the elf smiled. A crescent moon of white on her shadowed face.


Surely this occurrence was providence.


"Phaedra?" She sing-songed sweetly.


The dagger-like smile grew wider.


"Truth or dare?"


@TeeKay
 

Phaedra had since cooled down since her last conversation with Oceana... mostly. She still felt a tickle of nausea at the sight of the elf, though it was hard to say if it was because of the woman's words to her or because of the regret she herself held for her harshness. Her conviction had faded, leaving behind only doubt and an appointment for deeper introspection as to her own actions and behaviors she displayed towards Oceana.
​


All that aside, Phaedra was only human - well, mortal - and still held small grudge against the woman, so when she was called next for the game by Oceana, she couldn't help but wrinkle her nose in slight displeasure. The expression the elven woman held left her feeling ill at ease. To hide this, Phaedra did the reasonable thing and stuffed her face with a whole biscuit. There. That should hide any tell as to what sort of emotions she had. She quickly chewed and swallowed so as not to delay her own answer.
​


 
​


"Dare, of course!"
​


She sniffed and cleared her throat.
​


"Do your worst!"
​


 
​



(GG, Phaedra. Nice knowing you.)
​
 
At the mere mention of a game, Foxrun had squeezed himself into the circle as well. This would be a great opportunity for all of them actually, getting to know each other a bit but with something a little more light, or funny at the least. He listened as the others started the group game, holding his own laughter to himself as much as he could. He knew he would be on the chopping block at some point as well after all. 


The glances passed between the two women however, definitely made his laughter fade. Now this was going to be interesting!


@ all and such 
 
Valeiah plopped down onto the ground besides everyone else in the group. She had grabbed a few biscuits and was eating those while glaring at Alo from a distance. He wasn't sitting with them, he was off by himself, scraping a small stone with his dagger to try and shape it into something else.


At this point, he could say that he hated his sister. He was done with her short temper and childish revenge plots. Of course, he didn't actually hate her, he just thought he did. Which was pretty stupid to be honest. Why are these two so dumb. Make them cuddle and be cute siblings.
 
Oceana contemplated many dares in her mind but decided she didn't have the heart to make them too....difficult.


"I dare you to let someone tickle you. As you recite your favorite poem."


The huntress' mild voice was a stark contrast to her smug grin.


"You can choose whom."


With a swish of ebony hair, the tattooed elf was once again seated. 
 
Dorian, who had been glaring at Kacel’la with pure dissapointment after being shoved, only did a vague wave gesture to tell Phaedra not to worry.


The familiar was quickly back to annoying Garrett by laying down on the ground and arranging his dirty boots on the mage's lap. Garrett didn't even try to move the feet away as he knew that if he did, they would be shoving at his face next. Instead he decided to smile cheerily and ignore the familiar.


Kacel’la chuckled at the dare. "Haven't heard of a dare like that before. Good thinking." She smiled at Oceana.


@OlKaJa77
 

Phaedra scowled and her cheeks flushed violet. What a ridiculous request!
​


"Fair enough! I accept your challenge!"
​


 
​


Now simply to scout out the group - even those who hadn't joined the circle yet - and see who would be the least skilled tickler. Dorian and Kacel'la were immediately crossed off the list - the both seemed the type to be aggressive ticklers and those that would make the experience that much more miserable for her. Her eyes darted towards Svetlana. Definitely not - she would be the most unrelenting! Hjalmar was in the same boat as Dorian and Kacel'la.. Bo and Valeiah and Alo all seemed like masterful ticklers as well... Though she was admittedly amused by the thought of shocking Oceana by choosing her, Phaedra would rather not get quite that close to the elven woman. She had time to cool off, but not by that much.
​


Nick and Nameen both intimidated her and she couldn't dare ask them. Aggie, though mild-mannered, also intimidated Phaedra. Perhaps, given the opportunity, she would be much like Svetlana - a merciless tickling machine.
​


 
​


That brought Phaedra to another thought.
​


"I choose Yaroslav!"
​


She nearly shouted, her blush deepening slightly. Stupid, stupid dare! She would escape this with her dignity. While Aggie - in Phaedra's mind - seemed to be secretly aggressive, Yaroslav must have been the opposite! Seemingly intimidating, but a wimp when it came to such matters. Phaedra was quite confident in her decision.

   The burly man had been gazing at the floor, expressionless. He was completely disinterested in playing the game, the only reason he remained where he sat was on account of his grandmother. He listened to Oceana's ridiculous dare, and pitied the poor sylph and what other fool she would choose to participate in something so humiliating. When she uttered his name, he didn't even react right away due to not anticipating her choice.


   When it clicked that he would be the one to tickle her, his face dropped and turned a deep shade red, it almost matched his beard! "What a horrible choice!" Yaroslav protested as he forced himself closer to her. A dare was a dare, and he was honorbound to fulfill it.


   "Do you know how many children I've tickled in my lifetime?" He grimaced, almost feeling bad for her, "Some of them have almost passed out because they could not breathe from laughing so much!" He awkwardly sat in front of her with the slightest apologetic look on his face, though the mask of red as he furiously blushed would be enough to hide it. He didn't seem the type of person to be capable of tickling with his thick hands and heavy set muscles, but he was actually rather good at it... and he knew all of the spots.


   "Ready?" He asked, though he didn't give her much time to answer. Let's just get this over with, he thought to himself as he jabbed at her sides and began dancing his fingers across her torso as light as a feather. One of the things he had discovered whilst tickling Lucas was that under the knees were also apparently quite ticklish, so if this didn't work, he would resort to the secret spot.


   Many a beast had fallen to his axe, but many more children had fallen in laughter to his gentle touch. Phaedra didn't stand a chance.

 

Phaedra stared at Yaroslav towering over her, pity etched into each word that left his lips. Her ears drooped as she began to realized she made a grave mistake that would quite easily cost her her vocal chords. At least he didn't seem like he'd enjoy it judging from his own embarrassment. She had the slightest feeling she wouldn't be able to recite her poem. Was she ready?
​


 
​


"Well, I-- eeeeEEEEEEEEEEEK!!"
​


She squealed, thrashing and kicking away from Yaroslav, not left with much warning at all before his hands lunged at her sides, dexterous fingers moving up and down along her ribcage and hips.
​


"L-Love sEEEEEEEKE-- ahahaha!! -- s-sssSSSSSee-hehehe-keth n-nOT--!! EEEEEEEK!"
​


Phaedra shrieked with laughter, doing her very best performance. Her cheeks were burning a bright shade of violet, but she was determined to complete her challenge. She would not be humiliated infront of Oceana for nothing.
​


"NOT I-ITSELF t-tooooOOOOOo-- hahaha!! P-PleeeEEEEEEEASE!"
​


Two lines down.. Six more to go. She instinctively slithered away from Yaroslav, attempting to escape his onslaught.
​

Raising an eyebrow Oceana too thought that Yaro would be a mild tickler but it seemed both she and the sylph were in for a surprise.


A peal of laughter tore from the huntress' throat as the tickling began and Phaedra started to shriek. The air mage struggled against Yaro's deft hands, trying her best to force out the words of her poem and it amused the elf so greatly she was doubled over, a hand on her aching stomach. Great, wheezing laughs erupted from her lips and it was almost as if she was being tickled too.


She could have sworn she felt feather-light jabs into her sides as she convulsed with the tide of her mirth. 


The feeling was instantly swept away by more hilarious gibbering poetry from Phaedra and was forgotten in the face of the enormous glee that was spilling out of the elf.

   After such long grueling minutes passed, minutes that felt more like hours, Phaedra finally managed to get the last line out. After which, the sylph and the warrior breathlessly collapsed to the ground. Yaroslav groaned as he crawled back to the empty spot by his grandmother, offering her a glare for bringing him into such a ridiculous game.


   Svetlana clapped in amusement, their display soon had everyone else in the room laughing. "Alright, alright!" She said excitedly, "Phaedra, spin the bottle to see who goes next!"

 

Lucasta and Lilith returned to their quarters, grabbed their food and sat. Lucasta finished eating her food, and quickly squeezed into the circle to play. "I hope it's alright if I budge in!" She grinned. Lilith on the other hand, sat beside Alo and nudged him a tad. "Why don't you join them?" She asked. "You seem like the person who would enjoy a game like this." She smirked.

@everyone

Left gasping for air after minutes - minutes - of relentless tickling, she had no strength to even try to shoot Oceana a glare like she wanted to. No, actually, she would have actually preferred to approach her and tell her the poem she tried to recite, but barely managed to do and it mostly certainly couldn't be understand with her squealing and giggling between every syllable.
​


At this point, all she had the strength to do now was spin the bottle.
​


 
​


It spun around and around until, finally, it stopped and pointed to Aggie.
Phaedra glanced over at Aggie and couldn't help but sigh internally. She really should have chosen Aggie to tickle her. Well, no use in fussing over it now.
"Well, Aggie.. it's your turn. Truth or dare?"
​


 
​


@Tater
​
 
Watching the tickling go on between the two members of their little group, Aggie had taken to her pint quite heavily, staring down at the bubbles mingling around in her cup. When she heard her name, she shot her head up and blinked, her silver circlets adjusting to look over to Phaedra,"Hmmm?" she wasn't paying attention totally and it took a  moment to register what she asked. 


"Oh! Um well..." swirling her ale around absentmindedly, she smiled and nodded a little,"Give me a dare. Be kindly, it's my first game like this I don't want to prance around without knickers."


@TeeKay
 

"Ah, of course."
​


Phaedra couldn't help but be mildly disappointed. She was hoping Aggie would ask for a truth. She was motivated by curiosity, not so much by the mischief that dares seemed to inspire.
​


"Err.. Ah, I dare you to..."
​


What should she dare? What does one dare? What is daring? What possible feat would be challenging enough that would make one stop in their tracks?
​


"..kiss someone..? Yes, uh.. I dare you to kiss someone. Anyone."
​


That was good. That would make anyone shiver in their boots.
​

Looking over to Phaedra, her eyes widened and her face deepened in color. Right away her ears went hot and she poked her nose into her tankard, adverting her eyes,"O-o-ohhh dear. " she didn't expect THAT kind of dare. Then again she never played this game before so I guess she was expecting to recite a poem as well. 


"What happens if I don't?" blinking quickly, she kept both hands wrapped around her cup, her knuckles going white as she weighed her options. 


Hiding the geeky and shy smile into her drink, she gave a quick look around the group to possibly find someone she could give a peck to. Was it a cheek kiss? Full on kiss? Eskimo kiss? What were the parameters!? 


Bo maybe? He seemed like a nice lad. Oceana would probably tug on her ear..maybe? Hjalmar? No she hasn't even introduced herself properly to him that would look quite odd. 


Putting down her cup she covered her hot cheeks and gave a small uneasy chuckle,"Gods above."


@all
 
  Ashlar watched Aggie flush over the dare, and a small smile appeared on his face. He leaned his head against his hand, he sat cross legged not too far from her. He patiently awaited who she would choose, and had to restrain laughter as he watched her glance around the room, trying to find a suitable victim but only getting more flustered with each look. But the smile he wore slowly faded as she looked down into her cup, was she going to give up? Ashlar couldn't let her lose! That'd be no fun at all!


   Usually, he wasn't the type to pursue or take matters into his own hands, but this was unacceptable. He suddenly crawled towards her before anyone could interject, intent on saving her skin. By the time he was kneeling in front of her, she had looked up to see what he was doing.


   The man was fairly good at hiding his feelings. He was controlled, and only allowed certain emotions to show when he deemed it necessary. But as he brushed aside her ebony hair, and stared into her sparkling eyes, he felt his heart skip a beat and he had to catch his breath for a moment. He was hesitant. What had originally been the good intent of ensuring her victory, he found himself actually wanting to kiss her, and not just for the sake of the dare.


   He furrowed his brows together at the unexpected thoughts that were racing through his head. His cheeks flushed over his dark skin, and he endearingly caressed her cheek before slowly leaning in and closing his eyes. Their lips met. The kiss was not to long, but certainly not too short. It was sweet, and Ashlar hoped no one would perceive it as more than just a dare. He then pulled away, and offered her the fondest smile, before awkwardly rubbing her cheek with his thumb, and scooting back into his seat. He covered his mouth with his hand as he continued to look at her, feeling somewhat bad for acting out of place and stealing a kiss without permission. He offered her a thumbs up with his free hand in an attempt to emphasize the nature of his actions, and he hoped Aggie was dense enough to not notice the red tint ears and cheeks.


@Tater
​
 
Her mind raced with choices and possibilities of someone to execute the dare on. Keeping her eyes low and towards her hands now folded in her lap, picking at her pinky nail in a nervous tic,"Ahh-" taking note of the movement heading towards her, looking up she gasped quietly as she saw Ashlar making his way over to her. 


Right away her breath hitched and she brought her hands up to her chest,"What are you-" she whispered quietly. 


Aggie reached forward and gently grasped the front of his shirt to steady herself as he drew in close, eyes growing wide.


Just as he brushed the hair from her burning face, the dark skinned elf woman locked eyes with her friend, her grip tightening into the cloth of his garments, inhaling quickly before their lips met. 


Agitha's head sang to high heaven as she closed her eyes, practically melting into the kiss. Lightly smiling against his skin it almost saddened her as the sweet contact broke after a few heartbeats...or was it many ( she couldn't tell her heart was going a mile a minute ). 


Opening her eyes and giving out a fluttering smile, she half lidded her gaze and absentmindedly pressed against his brushing thumb, releasing his shirt as he scooted back to his place. Sitting for a moment or two she recollected herself and exhaled, squaring her shoulders and bringing up her tankard, giving a small toast motion towards Ashlar in reply to his thumbs up with a shy smile and taking a sip. 


She could see his bright ears and cheeks and that only made her smile more,"Well guess I uh, spin this then, ya?" she cleared her throat, trying to keep a straight face when internally she was crying with glee. 


@Lo Alyssa
 
  Because Kacel'la was a person who loved to embarrass people, she wolf-whistled when Ashlar and Aggie kissed, then couldn't help but laugh at how red the two were.


"T'as à siffler, chaton." Dorian chuckled.


"Ils sont mignons." She replied, poking the familiar.


"C'est un attachement innutil." He rolled his eyes, swatting away the elf's hands until he basically had to turn around and hold his foot to Kacy's shoulder to keep her from reaching him.The familiar prayed that Garrett, who he was leaning against, would not move or Dorian would end up gracelessly falling to the ground. Kacel'la only smirked.


"Tu le dis quand t'es presque en train de câliner avec ton sorcier?"


Dorian kicked her.


The two laughed while Garrett's expression was somewhere between confusion and the definition of Absolutely Done. 


"Yeah, spin the bottle to find out who goes next." The mage sighed in response to Agitha's question.


@Tater


(Dorian and Kacel'la are speaking in french if you want to find out what they say.)

Valeiah snickered from her spot in the circle. "Aww, look, they're blushing." She grinned. That had been the first time she'd teased anyone in a few days! Yay!

Her face flushed some more as Kacel'la whistled, pulling her lower lip in to try to hide her smile she went and spun the bottle. 


It spun quickly in the middle of the comrades before landing on Nameen. Giving a smile she looked towards the woman,"Truth or dare?" she chuckled slowly. 
 
Nameen had been sitting silently on the edge of the circle, resting her head on one hand while watching Phaedra and Yaroslav's ticklish display and then the kiss between Aggie and Ashlar.  She hid a smug smile in her hand, finding the game much more entertaining than she'd previously thought she would.  


Aggie then spun the bottle in the centre of the circle, and Nameen watched it almost dazed, wondering who would be the next victim of truth or dare. 


It shouldn't be me, there's a lot of people and it'll land on someone els- And then the bottle stopped.  You've got to be kidding me.  


She heard Aggie call her name, and felt everyone's eyes on her.  Instantly she was reminded of how much she hated attention, but figured her chances of getting out of this were pretty low.  Considering Kacel'la was sitting right next to her.  


"Umm..."  Rather than deciding whether she wanted truth or dare, Nameen was  trying to figure out why she had sat down in the first place. 


"Dare," she answered begrudgingly, eventually deciding she would rather be humiliated than talk about herself.

Thinking of some sort of dare for the other woman, she took a deep drink, finishing it off. "Hmmm. I dare you toooooo. Sing a little tune?" she wasnt too good at deciding dares.
