MAGICAL ELEVATOR OF FORCED HONESTY

Your character has just stepped in to one of the teleporters only to find that it's not a teleporter at all! It's an ELEVATOR which is like a teleporter, but not-- your grandparents probably used these at one point. To make matters worse it's an ELEVATOR OF FORCED HONESTY.

○ COMMENT other characters and start grilling them with questions they wouldn't answer truthfully under normal circumstances.

[ there is an indistinct mumble.

[neverknocks]

[ oh like she doesn't know that look

and like she hadn't suspected it to begin with

BUT STILL

COME ON WASH YOU AREN'T BEING VERY SPORTSMANLIKE ABOUT THIS

So York just leans over, eyebrows cocked. ]

Come again? Gonna have to speak up a little there, buddy.

[articletwelve]

[ DEFINITELY NOT LOOKING AT HER ]







Ten.

[neverknocks]

[ OHOHOHO BUT OF COURSE

She's still grinning, but her eyebrows raise a little more with just a touch of surprise. ]

Well, there's high praise coming from the two-by-four who sleeps in the bedroom next to mine. So I'm a total knockout, huh?

[ yeah maybe she needed the ego boost things have been rough lately SO SUE HER ]

[articletwelve]

[ FUCK WHY DOES SHE HAVE TO BE HIS TYPE THIS IS THE WORST THING EVER (OF ALL TIME) ]

Just-- shut up, it's not my fault-- hey! Who are you calling a two by four?

[neverknocks]

Says the guy who claims he never looks at porn? Really? I dunno, genius, what do you think?

[ why yes wash she DID see that text conversation. Yeah she's just gonna stand there looking smug and self-satisfied because ha you totally have the hots for her. ...Okay, later this isn't going to be so funny BUT STILL. ]

[articletwelve]

[ WAIT HOLD UP WHAT ]

I-- what? I look at-- where did you-- who told you that?!

[neverknocks]

Y'know, you've really gotta remember to encrypt all of your network conversations, buddy. 'Course, not that it'd do you any good, most of the time.

[ sorry wash did you forget you have an infiltrations expert for a roommate, of course she went and stuck her nose where it doesn't belong ]

[articletwelve]

[ . . . ]

Fuck!

[neverknocks]

Yep. Two-by-four.

[ yeah she's gonna cross her arms and just smirk at you

Of course she's not sure if it's actually true but Wash spends so much time and effort repressing himself it may as well be a hobby

well

wait

it probably is. ]

[articletwelve]

Well-- I-- you're the one who likes me!

[ wash it's kind of sad when that's your only defense ]

[neverknocks]

Like that's new information. C'mon, Wash, is that really the best you've got?

[ okay yeah technically it's alternate universe Wash she likes, not this one, but -- well, okay, some days they may as well be one and the same. WHATEVER she's still managing to look smug as fuck right now. WASH YOU LOSER. ]

[articletwelve]

Well, I mean-- you don't really think I'm a two by four, do you?

[ yes it is ]

[neverknocks]

{ eyebrow raaaaise ]

Do you really never watch porn? Like -- ever?

[ AHA TRUTHINESS ELEVATOR, DON'T FAIL HER NOW ]

1/2

[articletwelve]

Of course I watch porn! I just never get laid!

[articletwelve]

[ WAIT FUCK ]

I mean-- I didn't-- that's not what I meant!

[neverknocks]

Oh, no, I think that's exactly what you meant.

[ oh she just feels sorry for you now wash

of course it's not like she's gotten laid in a while bUT HER BOYFRIEND HAS BEEN LOCKED UP IN THE CRAZY HOUSE she gets a pass. you have no excuse, wash. ]

[articletwelve]

I hate you.

[ THAT'S HONEST RIGHT ]

...Mostly.

[ ok that counts ]

[neverknocks]

Yeah, yeah, except for the part where you've got the hots for me. Got it.

[ Except oh wow okay saying it out loud makes it less funny and more real and wow okay no awkwardddd

well okay

it's still a little bit funny. ]

At least that wasn't the truth after all. Y'know, with the porn watching. Think you'd be in serious danger of exploding otherwise. Seriously, man.

[articletwelve]

Of course it wasn't. You really think I'd tell someone over the network about-- you know, that?

[ seriously. ]

And I just-- you're-- you're pretty, that's-- you're-- isn't it your turn here?

[neverknocks]

[ wow okay she wasn't expecting him to tell her she was pretty

and

not like that

EDGING A BIT MUCH INTO UNCANNILY FAMILIAR TERRITORY and it shows on her face and the question catches her off guard a bit ]

I -- what the hell d'you mean, my turn?

[articletwelve]

I mean, stop asking me questions and answer some of your own!

[neverknocks]

You haven't asked me any questions, dumbass. C'mon, what do you want to know?

[ not like he doesn't already know the worst of it by now. and she's pretty sure he's too weirded out by her relationship with her wash to ask any details. he was freaked out by the mere mention of it to begin with. plus wash is boring and unimaginative. what could he possibly come up with. ]

[articletwelve]

[ york maybe you shouldn't speak so soon. ]

Like-- you know.

[ He looks nervous, and more than a little uncomfortable, but he's been wondering this ever since she got here and it all kind of spills out of him in a rush. ]

Why do you like-- you know, me? Or-- him, I guess.

[neverknocks]

[ oh wow okay yeah

definitely. not expecting that. ]

I, uh -- what? Seriously?

[ fuck you wash okay uhhhh

York scratches at the back of her head, ruffling her own hair a little, and she lets out a short breath. ]

I dunno, 'cause you -- he -- he's cute and kinda funny and it's easy to be around him, y'know? And he tells me I'm pretty and God is he ever good in the sack, and I dunno, he's just the sweetest thing I've ever met, and --

[ WOW YEAH OK PROBABLY TOO MUCH TRUTH ]
