we'll make it happen, we'll turn it around

[quadruples]

[ Well, that... certainly was a thing that happened. Viktor wishes he could unsee what he witnessed in the library, but it seems like it has etched into his memory forever. Thinking about it makes him sick to his stomach, and eventually he decides that he needs something to keep his mind off it, at least for a little while.

So around noon, a note goes up on the fridge: ]

If you need a distraction after what happened today, come to the dining room at 6 pm.
There will be food and we'll be playing truth or dare!
♥ Viktor Nikiforov ♥

[ There's also a cute doodle of himself underneath his signature. Later in the day, he writes copies of said note and slides them under everyone's doors. ]

[ Those who come to the dining room at will find that Viktor has made plenty of borscht, pancakes and open-faced sandwiches for them. He isn't the best chef ever, but it tastes pretty good and will fill you up! There's also juice, water, and a few bottles of alcohol for those who are old enough to drink; try to be responsible, okay.

And for the truth and dare, he's prepared shots of hot sauce as punishment for those who refuse a dare. ]

Nikiforov-san! Truth or dare?

[quadruples]

Truth, Orihime.

[introspects]

Hm... [ Give her a second to think about this... ]

If you could switch places with someone here for a day, who would it be?

[quadruples]

Silver, probably. His Weavile is so cute, I want to pet it all day.

[introspects]

Ooh, good pick! And you can be Gold-kun's best friend while you're at it, too!

[quadruples]

I don't know if I'd have the energy to be his best friend. [ gold is...a handful. ]

Who would you switch places with?

[introspects]

Really? I think it would be really fun! Gold-kun seems really adventurous and exciting! [ do not ever say this to his face hime ]

Um... Well... [ She starts to laugh a little sheepishly. ] I think I'd want to trade places with you!

[quadruples]

Oh? Tell me why you'd want that.

[introspects]

Well...you get to do a lot of cool things, being a celebrity and doing ice skating. And you have a lot of fans, don't you?

[ ... ] I guess that has some downsides, too, but I've always wanted to experience it at least once.

[quadruples]

Yeah, I do - I have millions of fans around the world. Sometimes it gets a little annoying when fans spot me when I'm out buying groceries. I don't exactly want to sign autographs when I'm picking out vegetables.

[introspects]

Ah, that's the troubling part! Having fans everywhere you go sounds really exhausting...like you can't get any privacy.

[ That's always been an issue with celebrities, she finds. She feels sort of bad for him. ]

I guess that's why I'd only want to trade places for a day, haha!

[quadruples]

Anyway, I believe it's your turn now. Truth or dare, Orihime?

[introspects]

Um...how about dare!

[ How menacing can Viktor be :') ]

[quadruples]

I dare you to braid Lusamine's hair.

[introspects]

Ah-!! Actually, I already did; Watanuki-kun dared me to do the same thing! She really enjoyed it, I think!

[quadruples]

Oh. [ Welp, seems like he should have paid more attention. ] Then I'll give you another one - walk up to someone and tell them a bad joke in a really enthusiastic way.

[introspects]

[ Hey, no worries! Everyone's just. All over the place..... ]

A bad joke, huh? Well...I think I have a few that I know...

[ She has a lot. Nobody understands her jokes. ]

Is there any specific person?

[quadruples]

No, you can tell it to whoever you'd like.

[introspects]

[ She's found her target! ]

[quadruples]

[ He'll give her an applause once she completes it - well done, Orihime. ]

[introspects]

Ahaha, thank you!

.[ Somehow that turned into a full-blown talk about numbers eating each other. It was fun. ]

Okay, Round Two! Truth or dare?

[quadruples]

Truth again.

[introspects]

Hm...

[ You know, she does remember something about his profile. Now is a great time to ask-- ]

Who's Katsuki Yuuri-san?

[quadruples]

He's Japan's top skater and my cute protegé!

[introspects]

Eeeh?! Japan's top skater?!

[ This is why she needs to keep up with sports more often! ] Wow, he must be really amazing! I haven't heard of him, but he's probably everywhere in the news!
