The scene opens to a fancy room with a set of 21 chairs circling a large table. In one of these chairs sits a girl, alone, on a laptop. Who is this girl?

Don't even bother trying to enter a name. She won't let it happen. She figures she could just tell you her name. Why not?

...

Nah. She doesn't want you to have the satisfaction. Not yet. We'll just call her the author.

Author: Hello! I was looking at all of this truth or dare stuff and I found it really interesting! The very idea fascinates me! So I figured hey, I'm bored, why not make my own? I don't care if it's been done a couple times already!

So here's what's going to happen! I'll bring the characters here momentarily. My appearifier is warming up. I'm going to gather all 12 trolls and the kids from both the pre-scratch and post-scratch universes for now, but maybe I could bring in some more characters if you beg for it ;D

I will be taking everyone alive from the end of Act 6 Act 3, and everyone dead by that point I will take from the point they died. Tavros and Vriska will be taken from the point Tavrisprite tavrisploded :33

Then, here's where you come in! I decided the kind of truth or dare where the audience submits content! (That's how Homestuck was founded, am I right?) So I need you people to ask questions and dare our loving cast and make this a very entertaining time. And remember, it's rated teen! Nothing terribly inappropriate please!

And if you feel I'm getting out of character with someone, please don't hesitate to tell me! Feedback is awesome!

And that's that! My appearifier is all warmed up and it's time to get this show on the road!

The author moves over to a large machine that has apparently been there the whole time and you simply didn't notice. After lots of button pushing and dial turning, she appearifies all 20 of the confused characters who will be playing our little game

Author: Hello everyone!

Karkat: WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON

Dave: whoa, what the hell happened?

Rose: If I knew, I'd tell you

Vriska: hey, is that john?

Vriska smirks

Gamzee: honk :o)

Kanaya: Oh My God.

The cast mumbles for a few minutes trying to make sense of where they are

Author: Everyone shoosh! I'll explain everything!

They continue to mumble

Author: I said SHUT UP!

They oblige

Author: Thank you! Gosh. Anyways, hello! I have brought you all here so we could all play a little game of truth or dare!

John: sounds fun!

Sollux: what's truth 0r dare

Terezi: 1 DON'T TH1NK 1'V3 H34RD OF 1T B3FOR3!

Author: I didn't think the trolls would have! Basically it's a game where you ask weird questions and dare each other to do funny stuff!

Equius: D - that sounds ridiculous. i don't think a highb100d like myself should engage in such tomf001ery.

Nepeta: :33 oh come on equius! i think it sounds like fun! besides, you would be purrfect for it!

Roxy: so what, we just go aruond in a cirlce and ask each ohter to do stfuf?

Author: Not exactly! See, our audience will be giving you questions and dares!

Tavros: wE, uHH, hAVE AN AUDIENCE,,

Author: Yep!

Eridan: then do wwe givve them dares too? i think i could come up wwith some good ones for filthy landwwellers...

Author: Nope! They just get to watch you embarrass yourselves!

Karkat: THIS SOUNDS LIKE THE WORST GAME IN THE HISTORY OF PARADOX SPACE

Author: That's the spirit! So let's get started! Readers, I'm counting on you to send in plenty of ideas to get these guys going! Until then, I'll see if I can manage to keep all of them in line! See ya!

The mysterious author bids you farewell and goes back to manage her horde of house guests and prepare for this awesome game of truth or dare that is about to begin.

You find yourself filling up with excitement and anticipation.

Or not.

To be honest, I have no idea what you're feeling.
