[kingsroads]

Truth!

[ when does he ever make things helpful for Syr ]

[chronosynthesis]

[Damn it.]

Say something about yourself you are actually ashamed of.

[kingsroads]

While I'm grateful for it's effects, going mad was a little embarrassing.

[chronosynthesis]

Did it bear any similarity to your behavior in the Hunt when I had to come collect you?

[kingsroads]

Unfortunately, yes. Mania, hallucinations, needless stubbornness, the lot. The mania and hallucinations were the most prevalent, though.

[chronosynthesis]

I'm fairly certain the 'needless stubbornness' is one of your normal traits. [Like, for real.]

I suppose it is your turn to ask, now. [He'll get Strange on dare yet.] But I am going to pick truth.

[kingsroads]

[ taking inspiration from Peridot... ]

Have you ever kissed anyone?

[chronosynthesis]

[Syrlya actually has to stop and try to remember, because if he did it wasn't a notable event.]

No, I haven't. [And that's that.]

[kingsroads]

That explains a lot.

[ get some action, my dude.]

[chronosynthesis]

Explains what?

[kingsroads]

Your personality! You'd be less stuffy and serious if you kissed a few people.

[chronosynthesis]

I'm quite certain that isn't how it works. And there is nobody I am particularly desiring to kiss.

[kingsroads]

Oh that's certainly how it works. Romance makes people less stuffy. And if not romance...other intimate activities are good for releasing tension.

[chronosynthesis]

Worrying about trying to maintain a relationship would only make me more tense.

[He waves his hand dismissively, changing the subject.] Truth or dare?

[kingsroads]

Dare.

[chronosynthesis]

[AHA he grins.] I dare you not to say anything in praise or confidence of yourself for the rest of the day.

[kingsroads]

I can easily do that!

[ he has failed already ]

[chronosynthesis]

... You didn't even make the first sentence. That's...

[Hm.] I am actually embarrassed for you.

[kingsroads]

What? That's not- [ oh shoot, it is. There's a small pause before... ]

I didn't know we were starting that quickly. Let me try again.

[chronosynthesis]

All right. [His expression twists wryly.] we will try once more, starting now.

[Syrlya has his doubts he'll make it ten minutes.]

[kingsroads]

Much better.

Anyway, truth or dare?

[chronosynthesis]

Truth.

[kingsroads]

Aside from me, who in the carnival do you trust the least?

[ he is being blatantly trouble ]

[chronosynthesis]

Preempting the most obvious answer? [He was totally going to say Strange.] Probably the Ringmaster.

[kingsroads]

Really! [ well, he's surprised! ] I didn't expect that, but I do see your reasoning. Thanks to certain events, I don't fully trust her as well.
