Yaebi glared at Tony. Or rather, he tried to. One of his eyes was black, blue, and swollen shut. Next to him, a rather tall, metallic woman sat. She stared at the zombie, her eyes glowing red. Next to her, another person sat. She sat with a content look on her face and sipped tea. Atlas smiled. "I'm so glad you and Ingot could join us, Rube."
The ruler smiled. "Well, when I found Ingot beating Yaebi senselessly, I figured it would be safer if I joined." She looked at the zombie boy. "Although, she might punch you a few times."
Yaebi frowned. "Oh, that's just gre-" Ingot suddenly jabbed his arm, causing him to grit his teeth. Rube smirked as she continued to sip her tea.
Ingot looked at Rube. "How do I continue this game of truths and dares?"
"It's Truth or Dare, Ingot. All you do is ask one of the players to either answer a question honestly or participate in a dare."
Ingot nodded and looked around the circle. Her eyes glowed as they landed on Skelli. "Wither skeleton. Honest answer or participate in a dare?"
Skelli was a bit surprised, but smirked. "Truth."
"Do you wish to be destroyed?"
Skelli began to sweat a little. "What kind of question is that? No, I do not wish to be destroyed."
"Oh, then I dare you to let me destroy you."
Rube put a hand on Ingot's shoulder. "Ingot, you can't destroy anyone in this game. Besides, you have to wait for someone to say 'dare'."
The metal maiden nodded as she calmed down, but not before punching Yaebi. He glared at her. "Why!?"
Skelli looked around until her eyes landed on Atlas, who was occasionally glancing at Tony sitting next to a very clingy Hex. Skelli decided to have a little fun. "Atlas, Truth or Dare?"
The librarian sat up. "Uh… truth?"
Skelli rolled her eyes at the predictable answer. "Of course you would pick truth."
"What do you mean?"
"You probably couldn't even attempt any dares at all! Oh well…"
Atlas felt her face turn red. "I-I could try a dare! I'm no chicken. I choose dare." She sat up straight and spoke with uncharacteristic vigor.
Skelli grinned. "I dare you to kiss Tony."
The librarian's pride deflated almost as fast as Tony's face turned red. He raised a hand weakly. "Uh… what?"
Skelli ignored him and kept her eyes locked on Atlas. "Kiss. Tony."
Atlas looked at the boy, who kept his eyes to the ground as his cheeks burned. Atlas meekly made her way to Tony's side, ignoring the glares from Hex. Tony turned to face her, but kept glancing at the ground in embarrassment. Atlas felt her hands shake as she cupped his face and lifted it up, locking eyes with him. Her mind whirred as she began to approach. 'OhmyNotchOhmyNotchOhmyNotch…' She closed her eyes as she came in closer proximity. Tony did as well. Suddenly, they clashed. It was only for a split second, but it certainly felt longer. When they pulled apart, their faces were bright red as they slowly moved back to their seats. There was a long moment of silence. Suddenly, Skelli began to laugh. "That's it? Really? All that suspense for a little peck on the lips?"
"It was rather anticlimactic." Rube said, taking another sip from her tea.
Tony was about to reply, but suddenly shuddered as he felt breath on his neck. "I'll show you how to really kiss." She suddenly tackled the boy. As the group went to restrain the witch, Yaebi began to laugh only to be met with another punch in the arm.
Tony sat, dazed, as his cheeks burned. Hex sat across from him, pouting as Ingot had placed her next to Rube. The metallic woman kept a firm hold on the witch's robe. Atlas looked at them for a moment before looking at Tony. "Are you alright?" The boy nodded dizzily. Atlas sighed and looked at Hex. "Don't you think you should stop tackling Tony every time you see him?"
Hex scoffed. "Slag and Mire do it all the time and get no scolding for it! Besides, Tony never complains about it."
"Because you suffocate him before he can speak."
"Whatever. Just take your turn."
"Fine. Hex, Truth or Dare?"
"Dare. Anything to get me out of this seat." Hex replied, squirming in Ingot's unmoving hand.
Atlas smiled as she saw the witch squirm and had an idea. "Hex, I dare you… to refrain from even touching Tony for an hour."
Hex stopped squirming and looked at Atlas in surprise. "An hour? That's it? I can do that."
"So, no cuddling, snuggling, or making any physical contact whatsoever is okay with you?" The librarian grinned, knowingly.
Hex maintained her composure, but felt a few beads of sweat form on her forehead. "Of course! I have some self-control, you know." Tony mentally sighed in relief now that he knew Hex wouldn't try anything for at least 60 minutes. Hex forced a smile and sighed. "I guess it's my turn! Hm… Slag, Truth or Dare?"
"Dare, obviously." She had confidence that she would be able to take on any challenge. After all, she built an actual wooden house! There was nothing too impossible for her to-
"I dare you to hold an ice block for 3 minutes."
Slag looked at her incredulously. "What?"
"Hold an ice block for 3 minutes."
"That's… that's so stupid! The ice block would just melt in my hands! Not to mention the water would be extremely painful. It's impossible."
Hex smirked. "Okay then. So, what's the punishment for refusing the dare?"
Yaebi smirked. "Death! By zombies!" Everyone rolled their eyes.
"What about following a command? If one refuses a dare, the victim becomes the darer's slave for a day." Saber said.
Tony scratched his chin. "Too redundant. If a person refuses a dare, I'm pretty sure they'll refuse to be slaves."
The group thought for a moment until Skelli chimed in. "I have an idea! What if the refuser has to fight… The Enderdragon!"
Saber smirked. "I like the way you think!"
"That sounds like a very entertaining idea." Yaebi said, sinister.
Hex looked at Slag. "Indeed. So what will you do, Slag?"
Tony put a hand up. "Perhaps we should have a different dare? I think any form of water would really hurt her!"
Slag raised a hand, keeping her defiant gaze locked with Hex's. "Don't worry. I'm not holding any water or ice or whatever. I'll take on the Enderdragon!"
The room was silent, save for the sudden sound of Ingot punching the zombie boy again.
