Mm? What was this disturbing Majesty from his rest? He sat up, yawning as the words came to him. A game? Well, that sounded nice. He hadn’t done much since his fight between the bird and the weasel, and he figured it would be good to get a bit of exercise. Of course, he needed his rest, but… Still. He needed something to lift his spirits. He had decided after his fight that his attitude needed to shift back to how it had been. No more fighting other Gembound for no reason. No more moping or being angry about his impairment. He needed to find a bigger purpose in life.
As he padded quietly into Eridanus, he was momentarily surprised at just how many Gembound were here already. He smiled a bit, glad to see everyone getting along. As he looked around, wondering where to sit, he spotted Amaria, and Makyna. His smile grew wider, and he took a step towards the two of them, and then he saw a black leopard butting heads with the lioness affectionately. Hmm… Majesty rethought his decision to go over and say hello, not wanting to intrude, but then he decided that there were so many Gembound here anyways, if the leopard had a problem with it, he wouldn’t have the courage to confront him in front of so many others.
Besides. He was just saying hi. They were all friends here, right? He slowly made his way over to the lioness and her young charge, whom Majesty had long ago assumed was her daughter. Moving was painful still, but that was his own fault, and he knew it. “Hello, Makyna, Amaria,” he said, smiling at them when he finally reached the pair. He gave a polite nod to anyone else in his immediate surroundings, and then sat down, wondering what the game was going to be. As an afterthought, he looked back at the two of them and asked, “Do you mind if I sit here?”
So many new friends! Wynry was sure he wouldn't be able to remember all of their names but he was so glad they all had come to play his game. With a loud bleat, the young lamb asked for complete and total silence and attention. "Hello! Hello everyone! My name's Wynry! I'm so glad you want to play! This game is easy and simple so everyone can play along."
The lamb hopped back up to his hooves and trotted to the middle of everyone. "Alright, the first rule of course is that everyone has to be Nice. No suggesting mean things to anyone! We wanna have a good fun time, okay? So here's how it goes: the game is called Truth or Dare!" His ears wobbled and wiggled as he talked and his tail twitched eagerly behind him. "It starts with one gembound asking another, "Truth or Dare!" and they have to pick one. If the gembound picks Truth, they have to answer any question that's asked TRUTHFULLY. No lying okay! And if they pick Dare, then they have to do whatever the gembound dares them too. Nothing to dangerous though, okay? And they can't leave this area and it can't take too long, fair enough?"
He looked around at everyone, so excited about the prospect of the game. "And then it's their turn. SO who wants to go first?"
[[ ooc; I would have Wynry go first, but I know some of you wanted to do the spin the bottle version so please feel free to say you'll go first and suggest the "bottle"/crystal idea! ]]
It didn't take long for even more gembounds to gather. One among them was Cancer and she felt that thrill of butterflies in her belly as she gave a huge toothy grin to him. "Cancer!" She said enthusiastically, lowering her head to bump against his. With her growing size she found that she was starting to outgrow him, she was also a bit more stocky than the sleek leopard. Just a difference in their species she guessed. The lioness wrapped her tail around his when he sat down next to her and she put one paw on top of his. It was so nice to have him here!
Eventually she saw Leon walk in but instead of coming over to them he sat over with a few deer and a wolf. The feeling of disgust that was in him nearly caused her to get up and run away right then but she shook her head. Focusing on her own feelings of happiness and the feel of Cancer at her side. She felt bad for the bear and sad that he didn't want to sit with them. In fact, if it wasn't for Cancer right next to her she would have confronted him and apologized but she couldn't leave Cancer. He was her boyfriend. So, the lioness was left staring at Leon with an injured expression.
Even then she was distracted by a newcomer. The wolf Majesty. They were on good terms again and she smiled at him, trying to force away the earlier feelings of sadness by losing herself in greeting her friend and in the game. "Hey, Maj! Of course you can!" The lioness said.
Shortly after the lamb walked to the center of the group and explained the rules of the game. Truth or Dare seemed fun. So, it was good that she'd brought the crystal. It could greatly enhance the game. "I'll go first!" Makyna said. Perhaps if she was younger the thought of speaking in front of all the creatures and going first at a game would have intimidated her but Makyna was growing into herself and didn't find anything startling about this at all. So she grabbed the crystal, gave Cancer one last pat on the paw, and left to go take her place at the center. "I thought we could use this crystal to decide who gets the truth or dare. It'll make sure everyone gets a fair chance!" With that, she spun the stone with a claw and waited to see who it would land on.
The crystal spun and spun and landed on Majesty. "Majesty, truth or dare?"
Truth or Dare? That sounded… interesting. And it also sounded like a game where Gembound could easily get hurt… Great. He’d have to be careful about this if he was ever—
”Majesty, truth or dare?”
—picked.
WELP. Speaking of getting picked! “Uhhh…” he said, as he sat in thought, wondering which he should pick. The little lamb/sheep/whatever he was had said not to pick anything mean, or anything that would take too long. So he wasn’t too worried about being injured if he picked a Dare. But at the same time, he’d just gotten out of a fight not but a few days ago. Could he really afford to be dared to do anything? Even sitting down doing nothing at all hurt.
“I pick Truth,” he said, and then waited expectantly. He hoped he wouldn’t be asked anything too personal. Of course, he’d answer honestly, not one to break the rules. But if Ky asked if he had a crush on anyone, it would be embarrassing to tell everyone there that he had a crush on Farrah. I mean, she wasn’t even there, but still. Admitting that sort of thing in front of a bunch of Gembound would be mortifying. So then… why was it Makyna’s face he imagined when he thought of who he had a crush on…?
It seemed as if the wolf wasn't prepared for the dare which if she was in his shoes she wouldn't be either. However, the crystal didn't lie and the crystal had chosen him with its pointy end pointing towards the canine. She waited patiently as he finally said "truth". Hmm... truth? What would she ask of him. There were so many questions out there but she didn't want to do anything too mean-spirited or actually she didn't want anything mean-spirited at all like something about his blindness. But was there something else? She didn't want to make him sad. Didn't want to make him angry... What was left?
Embarrassment! While it might be uncomfortable it should release some tension and be fun for the wolf to recall since events that were once embarrassing became funny over time.
The lioness grinned deviously as she peered at the wolf, an idea sprouting in her mind. "Majesty. What's the most embarrassing thing that's happened to you? And don't leave out any details." Oh, was that cruel? Nah. It was truth or dare! All bets were off on what could be asked which was the reason Ky had gone all out. After all, he had to answer honestly and if he did they should all get some good laughs.
Majesty listened as Makyna asked him to talk about the most embarrassing thing that had ever happened to him. Under normal circumstances, he would have been embarrassed even thinking about mentioning embarrassing things happening to him. But then he realized… had anything embarrassing even ever happened to him? “Hmm…” He sat in thought for a few moments. What had happened to him that he could think of as embarrassing? Well, there was that one time with Farrah, when she’d shoved her butt in his face. That had been pretty embarrassing for him, in all honesty. And she wasn’t here, so he wouldn’t feel bad about talking about it. But then again, there was the incident after his birth when Zorrak had tried to ride around on his back like he was his property. While at the time that hadn’t been embarrassing, he supposed it was a little bit embarrassing now.
In the end, though, he decided to talk about Farrah. Or rather, Farrah’s butt. “Well, um… One time, I met a girl who had just come out of her chrysalis and… well, she tried to show me her Stone, which was at the base of her tail, and… she kind of shoved her butt in my face. It was really embarrassing for me… and yeah. That’s… kinda it.” Majesty, who would later in life decide to be a teacher and storyteller, was not yet very good at telling stories. He shrugged rather apologetically for his lackluster Truth, and then walked forward and spun the crystal with a paw.
It spun and spun and finally stopped on… Vazi! He had never met the deer, but that was alright. “You there, Deer,” he said, looking towards the male. “Truth or Dare?”
Oh! Tamelyn was here! The deer smiled at the other little deer and looked forward trying to find her horns but... there didn't appear to be any there. "Well, uh, I do not see any, Tamelyn. I am sorry." As if he had anything to do with the growth of her horns. Perhaps he just felt guilty that he was getting horns but his older friend wasn't. Perhaps she was just a late bloomer. After a little bit a bear wandered over and the little fawn smiled at him. "Hello, Leon. I am Vazi." He introduced himself before Wynry took a spot in the center and explained the game. He already knew the rules but he listened anyway.
A lioness volunteered to go first and asked a truth of wolf who apparently was named, Majesty. Vazi listened to the embarrassing story and laughed. How silly! He was so busy laughing that he was halfway unprepared when the crystal landed on him. Uh oh. The deer didn't even give himself a plan to think as he said confidently, "My name is Vazi and I pick dare!" He said with a smile. He wondered what the wolf would have him do. He hoped it wasn't anything too embarrassing.

"Talking looks like this." Thinking looks like this...
Hmm… So Vazi picked a Dare. Majesty honestly had no idea what to decide. He wasn’t the type to think about doing daring things, himself (except randomly get into fights with weasels and birds) so he wasn’t sure what to say. It couldn’t be anything too difficult or too dangerous or too embarrassing. So that really limited his options. He looked the deer over, trying to think of something he could actually do. Well, he had… long legs and… horns and… a tail. Wait. That might work. Yeah… He had a tail, but it was rather short. It would be hard for… Yeah, Majesty would go with that.
With a bit of a grin, for he was amusing himself now, he said to Vazi, “I dare you to chase your own tail, and catch it.” This was something Majesty had never done, though somehow instinctively, he thought he could probably do it pretty easily. But with Vazi’s short little tail, it would be funny to watch him try to reach it. He had kind of a long neck, so that might help. If the deer actually caught it, Majesty would be decidedly impressed. With his work done, he went back to where he had been sitting before and sat down to watch.
He waited on the dare and wasn't sure how to feel about it. Catch his tail? The deer looked back at his nubby tail and wondered how in on earth he was to grab it. Ah well, he'd been dared so he had to try! The deer stood up and walked to the center of the circle then he raised his little tail up into the air, gave it an experimental wiggle then began.
The young deer at first tried to just reach his long neck back and grab it but he couldn't get it. He tried again and again and again, but continued to fail. He would get this little tail! He was started to get frustrated that he couldn't grab it! Now the fun really began as he started walking around in circles. He was determined to grab that tail and he wouldn't fail. His circles began to get faster and faster as he tried to get it. Almost but not quite as he chased his tail around like a little puppy might. After a few minutes he managed to make a final lunge and he got it! However in his acrobatics he managed to tangle his hooves up and he crashed to the ground. He was unhurt though and simply gave everyone a triumphant look with his tail grasped in his mouth and his long neck twisted back.
Now that that was over he rose to his hooves and went to the crystal. He used his nose to give it a spin. Wondering who it would land on. The stone spun and spun until it landed on the black leopard. "Black leopard, truth or dare?"

Wynry burst out laughing at Vazi's dare-- oh, it was just so good! The game was going swimmingly right now. No one had done anything bad yet (which was good, because if they tried they would get a ear full of angry lamb and it would NOT be nice!) and it had just been hilarious. He hoped that everyone else was having as much fun as he was.
"You did it!" He bleated, hopping over to his friend to give him a playful headbutt on the shoulder. His eyes sparkled as now his best friend had a turn to exact a punishment on to someone else. A playful punishment. It was just a game after all!
And it seemed like this time it was the black leopards turn, the one with all the fancy bits. What was his name? He seemed pretty cool. Wynry wished he could get to know everyone, but he knew he'd forget them all pretty quickly. There was just so many. "Truth or Dare!" He echoed, his eyes bright-- it was almost as if the Lamb thought that he and the young Buck were one.
