[ If you've met Yuuki before, there might be something unsettlingly familiar about the girl who's currently curled up in one corner of a sofa. She's utterly absorbed in the contents of the file folder she's got balanced on her legs, until she flips the folder shut and looks up, as if trying to memorize something-- and then her face falls, abruptly. ]

Aw, you're kidding me!

[ She brightens up again quickly, though, tucking the folder under the cushion and addressing the Room at large. ]

Hey, let's play a game. Like, truth or dare, or the question game, or something? Please?

I don't know, if you can like, run up a wall and do a backflip or if you're secretly a really excellent singer or you can memorize anything after reading it once or just... stuff like that?

I'm pretty sure most vampires can run up a wall and do a backflip, so I guess that doesn't count.

But, I suppose yes, I do have some secret talents.

Well, what are your secret talents, then?

I'm sorry, I'm pretty sure you only get one question per Truth, Yuuki. Truth or dare?

That's unfair, you're such a stickler for rules.

Dare.

It's not my fault you're asking the wrong questions. I dare you to shave your head.

[ Shock and horror. ] No. No way. [ She drinks. ]

Truth or dare?

[he grins -- that one was just to make sure she does actually drink something tonight.]

Mmm... eh, dare.

[ somewhat triumphantly: ] I dare you to tell me about your secret talents.

[ehhhh, he's sort of seriously regarding his drink right now...]

What, are they embarrassing or something?

No, they're-- [--sigh. maybe they're a little embarrassing, although he hates to think of it like that. it's just... been a really long time.]

...when I was still alive, I was a... street performer. In Tokyo, before it was Tokyo. My "secret talents" have to do with that, basically.

Oh. That's pretty cool, actually. What did you do?

--Or, that's another question, isn't it. Just kidding. Truth.

All right. What do you want to be when you grow up?

[ A grin. ] I try not to think about it too much.

[ She takes a sip of her drink, because that's not entirely truthful, but then she changes her mind and adds, after a delay, ] Happy. Less... conflicted, I guess.

Truth or dare?

[greh, he wanted to ask more questions! apparently not agreeing to the question game was just downright silly of him.] Truth.

[ At least this way Yuuki will actually tell the truth? ] What would you do if... laws didn't apply to you for a day?

Human, vampire, or physics?

Well, I was going for human and vampire, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to throw physics in there too.

... [shrug.] I don't know. I'd say nothing different, really. Maybe fly.

--does time travel count as a law of physics?

I guess, sure? I mean, there's definitely enough stuff in physics related to time.

Then I'd go back in time.

[ She just nods-- Not going to push this time. ]

Then... truth.

[welp, he is! just a little.] What are you conflicted about?

[ hnngh should've seen that one coming. lipbite, um. ]

I mean, there's... Why we're trained the way we are. All the rules and stuff. Going... [ a sigh. ] Going out on jobs or missions or whatever. You know, why... why do I keep doing-- why do I keep letting them make me go, that sort of thing.
