[network|text] @prettypinkflowers; oops on second thought have another; Night 189 [open]

[lacecase]

[Hello naughty children it's mania-o-clock. Although Ginger just put up a post earlier in the day, another one goes up fairly late into the night. Because she knows she needs to be quiet anyone trying their best to sleep. Also, emotes make her happy.]

Hi again everyone!!! ~ヾ(＾∇＾)
I realized when I made my announcement earlier that there are a lot of new faces I haven't met!
It got me to thinking that there are probably a bunch of us who have yet to really get to know each other.
So like I thought we could play another game! This time about...us! Ta-dah! (ﾉ^ヮ^)ﾉ*:・ﾟ✧

[Some of you might be able to guess where this is going. Ginger might seem like the sort of person who has a limitless supply of game ideas, but even she can only come up with so much that will allow people to talk about their personal lives to some capacity.]

How about 2 truths and a lie? It'll be a lot of fun! (∗❛ัᴗ❛ั∗)
And we can learn a bit more about each other! Team building you know???
Even if someone's already figured out the answer to someone's post you should still talk to them if you have questions! (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑

[That's how friendships happen!]

I'm pretty sure it's cheating if I answer.

[rattlingthestars]

Pretty sure it is. I'm trying to think of three things you don't know about me.

[swatsflies]

Favorite color?
Favorite food?

[ And then looking up from his tablet to say the following out loud: ] Your favorite kiss?

[rattlingthestars]

[ Jim doesn't answer out loud, just quicks a smile as he pretends to give that a lot of consideration. ]

My favorite color is blue.

Favorite food is jellyworms.

Favorite kiss was the first one.

[swatsflies]

[ He's going to put on a thoughtful expression. Brows drawn as he looks up from the screen for a moment to check out the recipient of his messages. Grinning a bit as he responds. ]

Hmm.
Let's see...

The second one?

[rattlingthestars]

You don't sound sure.

[swatsflies]

We did have a lot between then and now.
Buuuuut jellyworms doesn't sound that appealing.
Unless you mean the candy?

[rattlingthestars]

Nope, not the candy. Real worms is a thing we serve at the inn, but not to humans.

[swatsflies]

Last I checked you are definitely human.
So I got it right.
Right?

[rattlingthestars]

No.

I've been a shapeshifting alien this whole time.

[swatsflies]

Think I might need to do some further studying.
And maybe some tests to see.

[ The message is sent as he quietly moves closer to Jim until he's in arm's reach. He did his best to be very sneaky about it, but either Jim will notice the proximity or hear the chime of a message from Zell's tablet when he responds to give him away. ]

[rattlingthestars]

[ Jim looks up when he hears footsteps moving close. ]

Denied. It's your turn.

1/2

[swatsflies]

[ Aww. Just going to pout, but plopping down close anyways. He likes being close. Unless Jim is going to deny him that, too.

:( :( :( ]

2/2`

[swatsflies]

[ Then he's going to think about it for a moment. ]

I thought a mistake I made cost someone their life.
I once rode on the back of a T-rexaur. Think giant lizard, lots of teeth.
My gloves are made from dragon skin.

[rattlingthestars]

[ Sorry, Zell. All's fair in love and being nosy about your boyfriend.

Jim nudges Zell's ankle with the side of his boot when he's settled. ]

Hoping the first one's the lie.

[ He suspects it isn't, though. ]

[swatsflies]

[ !!! Nudging back with his foot. Then he shakes his head.

Oh he should be answering on the tablet. ]

First one is true. I screwed up. Big time.

[rattlingthestars]

Then it's the T-rexaur.

[ Jim's actually putting aside his tablet and giving Zell a long, thoughtful look. ]

-You wanna tell me about it?

[swatsflies]

[ Looking at Jim as he grins a little. ]

Yeah, it's the T-rexaur. That would be pretty crazy to try to ride one of those. You would have to put it to sleep first.

[ Looking at his tablet for a moment before scooting closer to press his side against Jim's. ]

It's over with and in the end it didn't matter. He didn't die and Garden wasn't targeted because of me. [ There is an unspoken but there. ]

[rattlingthestars]

[ Jim throws his arm around Zell without really thinking about it. He is, briefly, thinking about the fact that one day he's absolutely going to ride a dinosaur, but that's not what's important here.

The unspoken left in Zell's comment is. ]

It matters to you, though, doesn't it?

[swatsflies]

I felt pretty shitty at the time.

[ He remembers grabbing on to Squall and begging for some sign that things will be okay. That he didn't just screw up and no one would retaliate against the Gardens. He remember Squall shaking him off and him being blunt.

A bit of a smile came as he recalls Rinoa sticking up for him. Shaking it head. ]

It was a pretty big deal. I spilled we were from Garden on a mission. Not just that, it was caught on live tv. Broadcasted across the world.

[ Leaning heavier against Jim. ] And I think it's your turn.

let's just ignore the giant conspicuous face tattoo CANON DOES

[rattlingthestars]

[ Broadcast across the world. Zell's face, and with it probably his ability to do undercover work at all. ]

-Sounds pretty serious.

[ But Jim knows a cue to move on when he hears one, even if he does want to ask about a million more questions. ]

I once broke three bones at once.

My jacket belonged to my mom's dad first.

I have an A in natural history.

: D

[swatsflies]

[ They will get back to the topic later. He's having fun with this game. Taking the chance to just casually throw his arm across Jim's back. Not there for any reason at all. Nope.

Typing a response with one hand. ]

First one?

[ His attention does move over Jim as if he could see any signs of something broken. ]

[rattlingthestars]

Guess again.

[ Jim puts down his tablet to tap two places on his leg and his collar bone. ]

Guess again.

[swatsflies]

[ Instead of answering, he taps each place Jim does to commit it to memory. Pausing with his hand on Jim's collar bone as he gives a sly grin. Poking Jim's sides lightly. ]

Hmm. [ He makes a show of thinking about it. The jacket doesn't look like it was originally Jim's. Zell is thankful for that because it let them swap jackets randomly.

After another moment. ]

Third one? [ He's not sure because Jim loves animals. ]

[rattlingthestars]

Third one.

[ He agrees easily. ]

I was failing everything before I left home. Even gym.

[ Especially gym. ]
