There was a rather cozy cabin located on a hill. It had a simple red roof, blue painted walls, and simple windows in the front and sides. Inside the house, a black haired, light skinned girl was dancing around, her blue dress flowing as she danced, her shoes barely on the floor for seconds at a time. Her eyes were closed as she was in her own little world. She was humming softly to herself, smiling as she did so.
The door to the cabin slowly creaked open, a gray hooded person walking into the room, a snarling wolf sprayed across his chest. He walked slowly into the room, his gray cargo pants and black sneakers slowly leading him to Chiio, watching her as she danced. He lowered his hood, his brown hair shining with the light, his brown eyes staring at her, a small ghost of a smile crossing his face.
"Chiio." He said softly, to no effect. "Chiio.." He repeated, slightly louder, still earning no response from the girl. "Chiio!" He said loudly, Chiio squeaking.
"Oh.." She said, pulling out a pair of earphones from her ears. "Hi Lance." She gave him a warm hug. "Glad to see I'm not the only one here." She giggled.
"Hm..Where is everyone? This better not be a big waste of time." Chiio wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Lance, don't be so grumpy." She giggled, gently pecking his cheek. "Just try to enjoy yourself for once."
"Fine.." He mumbled, shuffling his feet. A soft pop filled the room, followed by a loud gunshot.
"Goddamn it." A voice mumbled, coughing followed afterwards. "Need to remember to put the damn safety on." Slowly, the only closet in the room swung open, revealing a black haired boy, wearing a full set of bullet proof armor, camouflage pants, and a camouflage hat, smoke billowing out from behind him.
"Hello there JJ." Chiio said, waving at him .
"Hey." He waved back, a look of confusion on his face. "Why aren't you all in the Truth or Dare room already?"
"We don't know where it is." Lance replied, scoffing. "Is it down some long hallway like last time?"
"Uh, no..." JJ said, moving the clothes out of the closet. "You just need to go inside a box."
"...What?"
"Yeah, just put your feet inside this cardboard box," he said, showing both of them the cardboard box hidden near the back of the closet, "and you're teleported there."
"Are you serious? Then what's the point of having a house here in the middle of nowhere?"
"The house is meant to be a sort of lobby before the actual room. " JJ shrugged. "Don't blame me, I didn't make this stuff. " Chiio looked at JJ for a second, before noticing a pink device attached to his right sleeve.
"JJ, what's that? I didn't see you wearing that in the last ToD."
"Oh, it's a shield generator. " He said, pressing a button on it, a golden aura surrounding him. "It shields me from some things, but it can only absorb so much damage before it needs to recharge."
"Why would you need that when you're already wearing bullet proof armor?" Lance asked.
"For anything that's not a bullet." He said blankly. "Come on, we're waiting for you." He said, placing both of his feet inside the box, vanishing in a puff of smoke.
"I swear to god, Wanderer's on some form of crack." Lance said, shaking his head. "First a hallway with limitless doors, now a goddamn box."
"Be nice. "Chiio said playfully.
"Grr..." He said, shaking his head. "Fine. Let's get this over with already." He stared at the small cardboard box, placing both of his feet inside it, before vanishing into thin air.
With a loud thud, Lance landed on some white tile head first. He let out a groan, mumbling some profanities under his breath.
"Couldn't even put a damn mattress or something?" He slowly got back on his feet, noticing a mattress a few feet away from him. "Huh? Did JJ move it?" He noticed a small orange fox near the mattress, its tail wagging. Shaking his head, he moved the mattress back into place, before turning his attention to the small orange fox.
"Hm, did this ugly thing move it?" He stared at the fox, which stared back, before it jumped into the air and scratched his face with its claws, leaving 3 scratches along Lance's face. It stuck its tongue out, before quickly fleeing. "Gah! Stupid fox."A aura of fire surrounded his right hand, the aura growing larger and larger, before it materialized into a fire red blade with a a golden wolf's head as a hilt.
"Oof." Chiio said, as she landed on the mattress. "Lance, you've been here for 5 seconds and already have your sword out. What happened?"
"A stupid fox scratched my face, that's what happened."
"A what? A fox?" The orange fox quickly ran towards her, hiding behind her. "Aw, he's so cute!"
"That thing is not cute." He mumbled, holding his sword to the fox's face, it whimpering. "He's a menace."
"Lance!" She said, pushing the sword away. "Don't hurt the little guy."
"Grr..." He growled, his sword vanishing into a puff of fire. "Fine, whatever/" Chiio petted the fox, as Lance shuffled his feet.
"Uh, why are you guys waiting out in the hallway..?" A voice asked, a boy peeking from a brown door. He walked out from behind the door, and closed it shut behind him. He stared at both Chiio and Lance, his white hair barely visible in the pure white hallway, his green eyes shining bright, and his rather bright green shirt hurting Lance's eyes a bit.
"Hi Wanderer!" Chiio cheered.
"Hello!"
"Hey stupid." Lance mumbled.
"Quiet you. Anyhow, why the hell are you guys waiting in the hallway..? We've been waiting for you for a bit of a while." Wanderer said, looking around the hallway, spotting the orange fox. "Oh, Fox is giving you guys trouble?"
"Why would you name a fox Fox?" Lance asked aloud. "That's like naming a dog Dog."
"...That's Fox, the cohost.."
"Fox?" Chiio said, looking at the fox, who wagged his tail and nodded.
"Yeah, didn't you guys know he had a animal form...?" Wanderer said, scratching his head. "I mean, he didn't show it off a lot in the last ToD, but he had a freaking animal form. He's a bit more of a troll in that form, causing a bit of mayhem for everyone."
"Fox normally didn't cause trouble in the last ToD, did he?" Chiio asked.
"Well no, but he has two different personalities now." Wanderer said. "He has a mischievous and innocent personality as a fox, and a shy and nice personality as a person, with a tad bit of curiosity."
"Oh...Why don't we have animal forms?"
"You guys never asked for them. " Wanderer shrugged. "Anyhow, get in here!" He said, opening the brown door wide, revealing...
White. Nothing but a pure white room, with a single red table in the center.
"Uh..Is this room not finished yet or..?"
"Nope, it's finished."
"Are you freaking kidding me?" Lance groaned, placing his head in his hands. "You couldn't be the least bit creative, could you?"
"What?"
"This room's just a pure white room with a table in it for god's sake! Is this really where the dares and such are going to take place?"
"I don't see an issue with it..."
"Well let's see. There's absolutely nothing anywhere except for that table. No place to sit, eat, not even some goddamn beds." Wanderer rolled his eyes, before placing his hands on the floor, two beds rising up from the white tile, one red and one blue.
"This white room allows me to summon and change the room as I see fit." Wanderer said, doors randomly popping out of the ground. "I can change the room and anything in it easily, with very little focus being taken away from the actual dares themselves." He clapped his hands, the beds and doors vanishing in a instant. "I can do a lot more in this room then I could have ever attempted in the old ToD room."
"Well what about beds? Places for us to sleep?" Wanderer pointed to the table in the center, a red door materializing on it.
"Just go in there and you'll be in the cohost quarters." Wanderer shrugged again. "I don't see an issue with this room."
"It's incredibly boring and uninspired."
"It's dynamic and allows a lot more changes to be made at will."
"Whatever...Where the hell is the cast, or even JJ for that matter?"
"In a cryotube room." Wanderer said, pulling some papers out of his pockets. "I need to rework on the personality of the cast, due to last ToD where they were mostly meat statues.."
"So, what's the plan this time around Wanderer?" Chiio asked. "Are things going to repeat, or..?"
"Basically, this new ToD will be sixty percent story, and forty percent Truth or Dare. Each of the characters in this story will have mini stories with them, which also allows me to continue writing this story even when there are no dares present. That includes you and Lance's romance story, as well as backstories and more."
"What about dares?" Lance asked. "Are those going to change?"
"Not entirely. I'll just add a bit more background to them, like what other characters think/doing/talking or whatever. Most of the dares in the last ToD were do it and it's over. I wanted to add a bit of a more, lively feel to it."
"So, what's the point of this chapter?" Lance asked again. "I mean, was it literally a waste of time for us to show up?"
"It's a introduction to all things new. If you don't read the introduction, don't blame me if you have no idea what the hell's going on...Although to be fair, it's probably still going to be like that. The actual ToD starts next chapter, with Yellow 14 making a appearance."
"Wait...what?" chiio said. "Yellow? He's going to be here."
"Yep."
"How'd you get him to agree to that?"
"I'm sort of forcing him to." Wanderer chuckled. Lance looked around the room, noticing Fox once again.
"So, this chapter's over, right?"
"Correct."
"Good." He said, running up to Fox, kicking him into the air.
"LANCE!" Chiio screamed.
All the complicated introductions belong to us...Not as catchy as I thought.
Anyhow, leave some dares people! We need at least one to get things started!
