<Nocturnal Harmonia>

[Bloodedge]

It had once again become Miyuki's turn to be targeted, this time by Kaguya. That was sure to happen eventually, and he was sure to choose 'dare' if asked by Kaguya specifically. The way Miyuki viewed this game, there was little point in truths between couples, as it wouldn't help anyone get to know everyone else. Ah, but everyone at this table knew one thing about Kaguya: she had an innate ability to stir the proverbial pot and really get things going. She dared him to do something extreme, something one wouldn't expect to appear until much later in the drunken game just to make someone take another shot or bow out entirely. She dared him to do something that made him pause, stare in shock, and blink numerous times with zero consistency. She dared him... to kiss another man.

It wasn't enough to demand something so ludicrous. Kaguya further specified the use of tongue in a make-out session between men. There were so many reasons he couldn't do that. Luckily for Miyuki though, he didn't even have to make the call himself. "Invalid. That would be a two-target dare. If you want to let that stand, the compensation I demand is taking a dare from me. And you can't back out unless you chug that whole bottle ─ the unopened one," Yugi interjected, daggers traveling from his eyes to the young woman across the table. Miyuki would be the one trying to diffuse what he thought was an issue, even raising both hands. "Oi oi, we can keep it a little more chill. I decided I'd commit fully to whatever dare you gave me, but that's unfair to Kiriya-kun. Can't we draw a line somewhere?" he pleaded.

[Apollymi]

Kaguya was a loose cannon of a different variety from most people. Miko knew this as she'd call her friend just as extreme as herself, in a different way. Kaguya was impulsive, but also fairly decisive. Her actions had purpose and it was usually to see how people reacted to her. She could have said something much calmer or created a dare more palatable, but that left room for arguments. No, she wanted everyone present who didn't already know exactly how extreme such things could be, and then... she'd temper them down to a more appropriate amount. The stunned reaction of Miyuki was expected, but the daggers being thrown her way by Yugi, made her brows raise. "Oyaa♥~" she mused as if there was nothing to be upset about. "Kaya-sen your face is showing♪~" Miko chirped as almost a whisper which made Kaguya refocus.

"I know, I know..." Kaguya muttered while listening. "Sou ka, well... I had to make sure. Extremes are the easiest way to show how far something can go... no worries♥~" Kaguya offered in that same playful tone. "I had a different dare in mind, I just needed to see something♥~" she teased as if it was a very reasonable thing to do. "No need to chug bottles or anything... I won't cross an established line, that isn't my MO♥~" she claimed causally. "Anyway, the dare~" she claimed moving on easily. "It's fashion week, give your best run down the catwalk, full poses, no holding back, sell it♥~" Kaguya mused her eyes lightly up with simple amusement. 'Damn, there goes my BL opener. One day...' Miko mused choosing at this point not to interfere. "I guess I am accepting Jojo poses in place of BL today... that's cool♪~" She already knew of Yugi's hard, no so she wasn't surprised at all by his reaction. No she'd been quietly content to watch while feeling herself become quite warm, in fact those little hip wiggles were becoming almost rhythmic in nature, like she was getting something out of grinding her ass against that pillow she was sitting on, but it wasn't quite enough. A gentle pout was developing as her frustrations amounted.

[Bloodedge]

Even after issuing that extreme, invasive dare, Kaguya had a clear reaction to being glared at. Yugi thought that the press of a single button, maybe two, could have her falling off the proverbial cliff into deviance. It would only take the right button, but he wouldn't be pressing it yet. According to Kaguya, she was merely exemplifying the potential extremes of dares. "If you were trying to show how far something could go... you didn't do enough," Yugi said ever so casually, albeit with an underlying menace. Things could be so, so much worse... but those weren't dares that would normally be given to Miyuki by Yugi's own assumption. As for not crossing established lines, Yugi had an argument that he'd only keep mostly in his head. "Sure," he said aloud. There were quite a few 'established lines' he'd been watching her cross all night. No matter.

Luckily for Miyuki, there was no hard push for him tongue-kissing another man today. He would have heaved a sigh of relief, but there remained a real dare for him to take on. A fashion show-style runway walk, poses and the like, was his real challenge. The sigh passing his lips was partial relief, partial embarrassment. "At least it's better than the other thing," he said initially. Miko's mention of 'Jojo poses' hit Miyuki's ear as a thing he recognized. "Oh yeah, that is a thing isn't it? It could be a lot easier if I did it like that," he decided. Yugi shifted his gaze then, actually surprised by something Miyuki had to say. "You get Jojo poses?" the younger male asked, causing Miyuki to chuckle bashfully. "Yamaguchi-san is... a very animated man," he answered. For whatever reason, Yugi slammed both hands on the table and pushed himself up into a standing position. It looked as if he'd be joining Miyuki. "Sekkaku no chansu da," he murmured while an also mobile Miyuki looked back, confused. "Urusai. Just roll with it," Yugi demanded. With that, he stood beside Miyuki and pointed at Miko. "Bloody Stream. Make it happen."

[Apollymi]

Kaguya's face had been showing and she'd made an invasive outrageous dare, mostly just to check the vibes of the room. Still, Kaguya had done enough by her own right, she wasn't trying to implode her own relationship or anything. "Mm, well there are limits~" Kaguya claimed with her hands up in mock surrender. The sarcasm of his 'sure' response to her speech on not crossing established boundaries wasn't missed by Kaguya either. Even so, she only meant her own, not that she'd be making that clarification for now, especially with Miyuki in the room. Speaking of Miyuki that sigh of absolute relief wasn't missed. Miko heard it and understood he'd been more than a little worried. But there was nothing to worry about, it was way better than the other thing. 'I'm going to find me a pretty boy to trick guys into BL...' Miko thought absently. One day she'd get her BL dosage in real-life.

Still there was Miko's casual mention of Jojo posing which got recognition she didn't expect. Miyuki seemed to know what it was... a bit of surprise sparked in Miko's eyes. "Squee♪~ Doesn't matter how you got it, a bit of culture is good for you♪~" Miko asserted in the way that she always would. Kaguya found Miko's amusement to be worth the extra layers of complication and then both would be surprised. Well, Miko less so... as she knew that Yugi was willing to go to strange lengths for a good meme. Miyuki and Kaguya were about to see Yugi acting up for the sake of it. A huge grin spread across Miko's face as this happened. 'Not BL but not bad♪!~' she mentally tweeted. Of course, the finger pointed at her, didn't even have to be pointed. There was a small series of songs for this sort of thing, but with a request on board, her phone was produced and she began going through to find the song necessary. "Shush♪~ I got you covered♪~" Miko said gleefully. And soon enough she was bouncing and waiting, for the show to start. Her fingers already snapping thrice as she turned the volume up and worked in the group for the beat to drop and the show to begin.

[Bloodedge]

Both males were upright. Miyuki didn't understand why Yugi was joining him now, but that was a given. Yugi wasn't here to ask unnecessary questions ─ he was here to participate in something many didn't get the chance to do. "No questions. Follow my lead, uncultured swine, and do it properly. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Yugi chanted with no further details. This may have been a dare for Miyuki, but he would be taking over to ensure no one ruined such a precious meme.

The pair stood mostly idly while Miko went searching for the suggested song. When the instrumental began, Yugi turned to Miyuki. His legs parted, knees bending slightly to extend his shins outward further, heels lifted. His right hand remained down, fingers fanned. His left hand was in a similar state, but that arm's elbow was brought inward to place that hand right in front of his face. "Go," he urged. Miyuki took that go-ahead and applied a slight bend to his left knee, extending his hip to that side. His right hand spread on its respective side of his face, aimed forward as that elbow pointed outward. His left elbow was the same, both at head-level. His left hand flattened, palm-down under his chin. Both males stood there with eyes locked on each other while Yugi... added something else.

"From the darkeeeest... depths of sileeeence♪
Awaken every pillar beyond the time to... keep it gooo-iiiiing♫
All togetheeeer... bring your couraaaage♪
Without it, we'll be flooded by a tide... a sea of crimson bloooood♫~"

[Apollymi]

A gleeful Miko and a curious Kaguya were left seated at the table. Miko had the perfect view, so Kaguya would be shifting to her side of the table to watch the coming show. Miko for her part in this was fully ready to witness things, but Kaguya didn't know how hard the meme was going to go. She'd asked for a fashion show, the result however was a conversation between Yugi and Miyuki, if it could be called that. Where the meme, was worth more than the dare, but both would be covered by the time the music started.

Oh and when it started, poses were taken at extremes. Kaguya was wide eyed as she watched a pose be stricken. "Oh, that's different..." Kaguya said but Miko was completely zoned in. With no immediate response, Kaguya peeked at the other girl. Her pupils were dilated, her ears twitchy, her hips gently moving on that pillow. Why? Well, because Miko was in music mode. The moment notes started slipping out of Yugi's face, her entire soul's attention as demanded. She could hear Kaguya but her focus was primarily in front of her. "Shush♪~" she whispered to Kaguya, as she buried herself in the sounds and visuals. She didn't know she could appreciate a voice like this and she was going to enjoy every moment of it. Just the same she was memorizing this moment, enjoying the poses and maybe even snapping a few pictures without her thoughts processing it.

[Bloodedge]

Yugi and Miyuki were each only three shots deep... but it was some rather potent liquor. One could easily assume it was finally starting to settle as the pair were close enough to tease the concept of Miko's apparent fetish ─ the poses not helping go against the grain. Miyuki didn't have a single clue what was going on. What was the music for? Why was the one he knew as Kiriya singing? He didn't even know what a Jojo was, but he knew 'everything' was apparently a reference to it somehow. Actually, maybe he could get some answers now. "How is everything a Jojo reference?" he wondered.

"The love that's passed onto yoooou♪
Was meant to be yoooours and yours aloooone♪
Now go and move along, put a smile on your faaaace♫~"

Yugi didn't interrupt the moment to answer some silly uncultured question. No, he kept going. He exemplified quite a few in quick succession while singing, all to ensure Miyuki had a decent repertoire. By the end of the pre-chorus, he was gesturing toward the table with his eyes, as though signaling Miyuki for a solo. When the time came, he stood with his shoulders farther back than necessary for normal posture. His right hand pointed forward, a flex from shoulder to forefinger with all other digits tightly curled. Now was the time for Miyuki's actual dare.

"Now we are RAZING THROUGH THE SKIES, and climbing EVERY HEIGHT SO BRIGHT!♪
We're wondering so we must submit, like darkness in the night♫
Soon you'll see it too, I knеw you KNEW!♪
LIGHTING UP LIIIKE A FIIIIRE♫~
LIKE A BLOODY STORM,
We're burning LIKE A BLOODY STAR!♪
Cutting through the flames,
I know that we can travel far!♫
Cutting through the wind, I pray the chop will let us in,
And soon WE'LL FLYYY-YYYYY... right into the other siiiiiiiiiiiiide♫~"

Throughout the chorus, Miyuki was strutting forward, taking the occasional pause. He took multiple poses that had Yugi present as a background, showing himself from right behind the other male. When Miyuki mimicked that strong point toward the girls, Yugi was turned sideways, leaning back enough to show the full length of his body to Miyuki's left. When Miyuki squatted with his arms crossed in some sort of ritualistic posture, Yugi was standing overhead with a twisted spine and both arms crossed over his head. Miyuki's eventual rise had them both grabbing hands and facing each other again. In that moment, Yugi could finally answer Miyuki's query as he panted, his chest rising and falling in sequence following the song. "Because everything's a Jojo reference. Watch Jojo's. It's the next turn."

[Apollymi]

Miyuki had a question and it was often one presented by the uninitiated. How everything could be a Jojo reference was usually beyond those who'd never ingested Jojo's Bizarre Adventures. It was a series which was dedicated to a certain amount of pop culture understanding which changed its lead with the generations. It was like the Doctor Who of anime, but with a generational hate crime mixed in. Whatever the case, an immediate answer wouldn't be given to Miyuki and that was quite good as the best parts were coming.

Miko snapped pictures with her mind on just the idea of the song playing and capturing the visuals of such a crazy thing. These weren't for anyone else, they were strictly for her personal collection. Something also for her personal collection was the sound accosting her ears as Yugi sang and Miyuki went about his solo. For someone only vaguely familiar with the idea of Jojo, he caught on quickly enough, seeming to put on a show of epic proportions. Kaguya couldn't argue with the lad 'selling' his catwalk in this case. He'd gotten even more into it than expected, this wasn't the first time they'd played a game like this, but it was undoubtedly the most memorable. At the end of it all, Miko was clapping and so was Kaguya. "That was a great one♥~" Kaguya mentioned. "Hai♪!~ That was awesome!♪~" Miko chimed, not reserving her observation. Just the same before a turn would shift, Miko would be taking her seat within Yugi's lap too pleased by the sound of his voice to let him off the hook. She'd have quite the good time settling in as she once again lowered the sound on her phone and pulled both purin and shot glass over to her new perch. "I got too into the music, I forgot to strategize♪~ Take a breather? Get settled first?♪~" she admitted. Now looking around the room to decide who'd be on the receiving end of her next truth or dare moment.

[Bloodedge]

It seemed both men were wrapping things up, releasing each other and stepping away. They both appeared... oddly satisfied with the strange thing they'd just done. "Whew! That might've been the weirdest thing I've done in years ─ at least months. It was fun though," Miyuki commented, extending his fist toward Yugi... who stared at it for a few moments. "It's the weirdest thing I've done in the past few minutes. Probably," he replied while meeting that fist with his own. "Not bad."

With that, both males were returning to their seats. Yugi saw Miko shifting her own items around while on the way, assuming she intended to change her seating arrangement when he seated himself. He didn't take an issue with the idea, and seated himself accordingly with his right leg appearing available. Of course, his cock leaned left... but he thought to keep the general placement of their group for the time being, so long as there were tings to accomplish. At the same time, Miyuki was getting settled. He shot a cursory glance in Yugi's direction upon receiving Miko's question, and shook his head. "No way are we going to sit around at let you think of a strategy to take us down with. We may as well implement a penalty shot for pausing the game if we do that," Miyuki suggested. "Second," Yugi agreed simply.

[Apollymi]

Men were making friends. Kaguya thought this odd, considering how antagonistic Yugi had seemed earlier, but perhaps that was simply a part of male friendships. She knew girls had different standards for what was acceptable and unacceptable as far as physical contact was concerned, maybe being weird together was an appropriate bonding exercise? Whatever the case Miko was practically swooning as Yugi left himself open for Miko to have her seat in his lap. Of course in so doing, she realized that she was being relegated to the non-meat side of the lap, but... "Boo♪~" she chirped for no reason at all seemingly as she took her seat.

Still there was also the matter of her having not thought of anything because she was far too wrapped up in the sound of Yugi's singing. Miko suggested giving everyone a breather, mostly so she had a bit of time to make considerations about her choices. But... then Miyuki had something to say. He didn't want to give her time to strategize and offered up a penalty drink for her trying to take extra time. Yugi seconded this, and then she heard the sound of betrayal, "Third♥!~" Kaguya seemed to find Miko quite amusing in her current state and wanted to see how far it would go. "Really? All of you?♪~ Fucking filthy traitors♪!~" Miko was swearing and chirping repeatedly but still she reached for the shot glass. Kaguya blew the girl a kiss and would receive in return the middle finger. "I'll drink, but oh you guys are gonna rue the day♪~" Miko confirmed as she once again took a shot. This one with less bravado. It slipped down her throat and her happy reddened face had her feeling kind of woozy. Still, her hips were moving gently in Yugi's lap. "Ooooah♫~ That was my fourth one," Miko noted to herself. Any who knew her, knew, that her obsessions would lead her to taking a fifth even if she won every round before the end. As for who she'd be choosing... Yugi knew he'd be up, or figured it was possible. Kaguya was an easy target because she was always one Miko could force herself onto and Miyuki was still aiming to prove himself fun, so he was likely to accept another dare rather quickly. "I choose... Shirogane-san♪~" Miko chirped, a little sideways grin coming to her face. "Truth or Dare?♪~" Miko asked the pitch of her rather high.

[Bloodedge]

One, two, three parties all agreed that Miko was due a penalty shot for trying to stall the game for her own benefit. If she'd been trying to hide that attempt at all, it was a glorious failure. Surely the others could all agree on that matter. In response to being targeted by everyone else at the table, Miko had some choice words to share. Filthy traitors, she called the lot of them. Yugi scoffed at the girl now sliding into his lap. Miyuki, on the other hand, had a playful argument to offer. "Oi oi! These two maybe, but I can't betray someone I only just met! I'm the friendly face in the crowd, here to loosen everybody up~" he said with an elevated shot glass and an offered refill.

Yugi expected to be the one least targeted in this group. Reaching around Miko, he decided to finally slice a bite of dessert for himself. It may have been more difficult than necessary, but he wasn't going to deny her new resting place as it had some future benefits for him as well. Miyuki had a piece of his own as well, but he didn't imagine he'd be selected again already. He chewed, he swallowed, and he considered his choice for just a moment. "Is this the vengeance? I welcome the challenge! Dare!" he exclaimed.

[Apollymi]

Miko called the group at large filthy traitors, for having her drink more and not letting her think. Of course, Miyuki couldn't know the truth, that giving Miko time to think would technically lead to less ridiculousness for her, she had time to talk herself out of things if she didn't have to rush. He had a playful rebuttal about why he wasn't a traitor, "Hmph♪~ The one in the room trying to make friends but coming up with rules that thwart me is the worst sort of traitor. You don't even known what you're causing, which means you aren't just a traitor to me, but to everyone else in the room♪~" Miko concluded. True enough, Kaguya knew Miko to be 'problematic' under pressure. She knew her younger friend to be a bit volatile at best, and now that she was sexually active she presented a different kind of danger.

Speaking of that danger Miko had been watching this pair move for quite a few moments. She'd also been moving her way closer and closer to a certain amount of arousal. Yugi was having the first bite of his purin while Miko maintained her place in his lap and Miyuki was doing something similar. She watched as he had that first bite, apparently not expecting to be chosen again. He wondered if this was vengeance, but Miko would only smile sweetly from her perch. "I wonder if it counts like that?♪~" Miko chirped out as she looked at him. His dare was likely going to be considered simple, but it was still absolutely deviant, so much so that even she didn't realize it as she opened her mouth until it fell out, "Shirogane-san, I dare you to eat the rest of that purin. No sppon♪~ No hands♪~" she chirped that grin spreading across her face. "Well, I guess you could hold the plate up if you wanted to♪~" she offered in fairness. Kaguya looked at her friend her brow raising, 'What the hell is going on in her head right now?' she couldn't help but wonder, just the same, she stayed to watch what would happen. She thought for just a moment about enacting a another rule if he wanted to refuse, but... he wasn't the type to back out of something that didn't necessarily involve someone else. She'd seen that weakness in him already.

[Bloodedge]

According to Miko, Miyuki wasn't exempt from being a traitor. He was the worst of them, she insisted. The blonde male looked genuinely shocked for a moment, but that didn't stop him rolling with the situation and seeming dismissive of the 'traitor' moniker. "If you say so, Iino-chan. Whichever way you slice it, you're still a drink ahead. And that's even including Kiriya-kun and me taking all of our drinks just because~" he teased. It seemed almost as if he expected backup on the clause, but Yugi was dead silent. Miko had already slid into his lap; he knew what direction she was metaphorically leaning in. Added teasing would only hasten the inevitable.

Keeping to his silence for the moment, Yugi committed to eating dessert. Miyuki thought he would be doing the same, and indeed he would... with neither spoon nor hands, if he submitted to Miko's dare. This must have been vengeance! He should have known from that teasing, sing-song response the drunken lass gave. "Gah! But... I was just starting to enjoy it," he said, still having remnants of that first bite in his mouth. He was allowed to lift the plate at least, but would he? Absolutely not! Miyuki took a moment to think before slamming his spoon onto the table, resolved. "Hmph! No spoon? No hands? No problem!" he announced confidently. Miyuki would go on to hold both hands behind his back and lean into the plate. He stared down into the purin as if studying it for a moment. One attempt to bite it left no results... but did he really need to bite it? No. Slowly did his tongue protrude and lash out against the divot created by his spoon earlier. Miyuki worked that tongue repeatedly to pick off pieces of the dessert, flipping small portions back to be chewed. It was going to take a minute or two, but he did seem to be managing. 'Fucking degen,' Yugi thought while awaiting his own turn. "I'll call my turn early. Shinomiya."

[Apollymi]

Miko called Miyuki the worst of the traitors. She often spoke in such ways, and it wasn't much of a surprise to Kaguya, who knew she'd give some odd logic to support her claim. Kaguya even knew that the girl herself believed it, given her propensity for telling the truth. "Therein lies the danger♥~" Kaguya mentioned so casually. There was much danger in Miko being multiple drinks deep compared to other people and most of it she was sure involved the girl's new openness. And then came the dare. It could have been innocent, Miko wasn't the type to give completely outrageous dares at all. But the more Kaguya watched the girl, her placement, her look the way she was speaking... the more Kaguya realized that this was a matter of the girl's own arousal and it had nothing to do with forcing someone into a strange punishment. A quiet imperceptible 'o' came to Kaguya's face as she began understanding while watching Miyuki begin.

"Careful with the face, Kaya♪~" Miko murmured as she ate her own purin pleased beyond all reason. It was definitely a matter of degeneracy and she was sure, Miyuki didn't even understand how much of a degenerate thing it was, 'Am I the villainess right now?' Miko couldn't help but wonder. At the very least, she could appreciate Miyuki hunkering down to face the challenge he was issued. "Gambareyo♪~" Miko chirped as she watched and listening. The listening was a bit more important to her. Just the same Kaguya's eyes were drawn to Miyuki as he put in the work to use his tongue to properly begin devouring that purin. 'Yep, definitely a sexual thing...' she decided only to look at Miko who with smug intensity gave words to be read on her lips. 'You're welcome' was the smug meaning. While Yugi aimed himself at Kaguya for the moment, seeming to know it would be a little bit before Miyuki managed to finish his task. "Me? I thought I'd be out of the line of fire for a while..." Kaguya said seeming to give it a bit of thought before she answered. "Dare~" Kaguya claimed unwilling to claim truth for several reasons including remembering the earlier rulings and knowing that even if she backed out of something yet another drink would simply be on the table for a group at large. All the while Miko seemed terribly pleased and absently moving those hands of hers around, at first, such a hand would simply just come to comfortably rest across from her on his left leg, such a casual show of affection, innocent and harmless.

[Bloodedge]

Miyuki was going to be struggling his way through a dessert he thought he'd just be allowed to enjoy. Well, he could still enjoy it ─ just a bit strangely. At certain moments, he felt like a dog. At others, the delicious, decadent purin was worth eating by any means. There was even an occasional sigh wafting over the dish when his tongue protruded and adjusted to the shrinking dessert. He had to keep his eyes steady on the plate by then, and thus had no clue what the ongoing exchange meant. He did however, know there would soon be another dare for him to deal with.

Why? Kaguya was issued the next challenge, and chose to take a dare ─ one he'd also have to take. That decision was highly interesting to Yugi. Kaguya taking a dare was the real meat and potatoes of this game for him. Of course, as he scooped another bite into his mouth, he found another point of satisfaction ─ but also one of danger. Miko wasn't wasting much time. The more she was enabled, the more she acted. One hand was on Yugi's leg. It would mean nothing to the ignorant or unexpectant, but Yugi was neither of those. He knew it was only a matter of time until that placement became something else, barring any sudden shifts in attention or plan. Whatever the case, he had a dare to give. Miko's dare to Miyuki established a turning point in the game. His, if Kaguya didn't chicken out, would be a turning point in another game. "For the rest of the game... any time even one person isn't looking at you, you have to do something that person can't see while everyone else holds you accountable for it. That's my dare for you."
