<Nocturnal Harmonia>

"Fair enough. Good catch, taking out the easy and obvious," Miyuki praised. If he'd never managed to think of a reason to be stuck with someone besides Kaguya, Miyuki would have been forced to drink in the very first round. Maybe this was a more dangerous game than he realized. Ah, but Miyuki could never realize how truly dangerous things were. The game would pass turns clockwise, making Yugi the second to take a turn. Naturally, he chose Kaguya. And she... chose dare.

Yugi sought victory in all games. An innocent game of Truth or Dare was no exception to the norm, even if victory was something he could only ensure when the game itself was long over. If Kaguya wanted to walk on the wild side, Yugi would be there to give the proper push. Given the things currently on his mind, he found it easy to do something calculated, technically innocent, but... very pointed. As he continued making the untouched purin jiggle on his plate, Yugi leaned into his free left hand ─ leaving his head turned in Miko's direction while his eyes shifted to Kaguya. It was a simple, innocuous movement, but one that kept his eyes from Miyuki's line of sight. "Charades dare. I dare you to mimic something you can see in this room. Not one of us. Anything you can see from where you are, copy, with only what's currently available to you," he challenged flatly.

"Hai♪~" Miko tweeted. Of course she did, praise did do good for her and she liked her acumen being appreciated. Even so, it was a bit too easy to listen to those in a happy relationship gush about their significant other. She wasn't asking questions to learn more about her bestie, no... she was trying to figure out what about this man made her try and settle. Miko would keep up her observations even as Yugi was looking towards her.

Well, Kaguya chose dare, and what she received was a challenge to perform charades. Mimicking something with the limitation of it being already on her person and not being directly one of the people present. It was innocent and it was also calculated. Miko looked around them and though Kaguya might have better vision she immediately thought of the easiest thing to do. 'Danger. So much danger... Shirogane-san were you never told about our games of truth of dare?' Miko couldn't help but wonder. Even so... she kept her ideations to herself, her face blank but her eyes big. At the same time Kaguya looked around the table. She couldn't copy a person, so Kaguya watched. Those red eyes of hers tracing across the room. No one was doing anything in particular worth copying. There was the jiggling jelly, but.. she only had one so she couldn't use that. Well, not with actual purin because she only had one. Of all the times for her not to be a glutton. This exact moment was precisely why, Kaguya hadn't agreed to play a game with this boy the last time they'd encountered each other. This wasn't a dare it was a trap, she could giggle like the purin, but as she looked around, "To drink or to jiggle... what an interesting question♥~" Kaguya mused well, jiggling was the best answer and so... she gave it a few seconds and then went on to move her chest, just her upper body at the same pace as that moving purin. 'Impulses have no controls♪~' Miko thought but she was definitely in time with the movements so she couldn't say no. But how... would Miyuki respnd.

Aiba Yugi did not play truth or dare. Even though he was doing so now, he'd approach it just as he did all things. Every step taken would be toward his ultimate goal, the victory in a very different game no one else was participating in. He'd already looked around. Either Kaguya could pull something completely out of her ass, or she'd be reduced to two options: drinking or mimicking the purin he shifted about. She took a look around as well, reaching the same conclusion and voicing the conundrum. In doing so, she seemed as if she'd already made her decision.

Miyuki wasn't as attentive. He'd been looking around as well, but he never made the connection to purin until Kaguya spoke of jiggling. Surely she wasn't going to go to such extremes to avoid getting ahead in drinking, right? Wrong. Before he knew better, Kaguya's chest was bouncing without a care in the world. His eyes widened, but they were also locked in place. That was such an extreme act to take on! And yet, he couldn't turn his eyes away. Was it part of Kaguya's efforts to arouse him before their celebration as a couple. While he silently considered his best version of reality, Yugi was watching as well. Ah, but he was also in control. He moved that plate around in a circle to make the purin upon it sway. No conditions had been applied to the length of Kaguya's mimicry, so he wondered how long she'd keep it up. However long she did, Miyuki would remain quite distracted. "That's erm... You really don't want to be the first one drinking, eh hon?" the blonde asked as he scrambled hopefully for logical conclusions.

Kaguya had decided to follow through with the dare. Her lack of impulse control obvious by her actions, not that anyone would be judging. Well, at the very least Miko wasn't judging and she was certain given his hand in orchestrating this, Yugi wasn't either. No... he was simply continuing to move the plate around into a sway, which Kaguya was also following. Just the same the first naysayer was Miyuki. Miko was content to watch and be hypnotized, still she heard the blonde man's words. What would Kaguya have to say to it?

"I definitely can't be the first one drinking. We know how that turns out. And besides, Mi-chan has never participated in active drinking so, I want to see that♥~" Kaguya mused. "Don't make it sound like it will be exciting..." Miko muttered a pout coming to her face. The former chairwoman of the disciplinary committee was a rule abiding citizen. She wasn't the type to stop her friends from having fun and freely offered to look after them, but often didn't participate in their 'older' activities. She kept this attitude for both of her sets of friends technically for various reasons. "So then, with this dare completed are we moving on?♥ If so, it's Miyuki's turn to make a move♥~" Kaguya wondered. Still her body followed along with the movements of the purin, she wouldn't be called on a technicality of any sort, she wasn't the type to set herself up for bad faith calls or anything like that.

Kaguya did have a point, and it was precisely what Miyuki expected first. It was a very extreme dare to take while sitting across the table from another man ─ one she appeared to be in a scandalous situation with when he first returned home. Still, he supposed nothing truly outlandish was happening... and she was far more extreme when already drunk, so there was little Miyuki could really say about it. "That's... fair," he said. If anything, the only reason Miyuki had to be disappointed was that it wasn't some rouse to make him quit the game, that they might retire to their bedroom early. That would have been rather steamy, he thought. Sadly, he never realized the reason Kaguya's breasts were starting to sway beyond the initial jiggle. He didn't have eyes for Yugi's plate.

Well... neither did Yugi himself. Unseen by Miyuki, his eyes were also trained on Kaguya's bosom. She really wasn't stopping, even while asking if they were moving on. "Huh?" Yugi asked as if he hadn't been paying attention. At the same time, he stopped that plate's circular pattern, choosing instead to slide it quickly up, then down, and so on in an attempt to intensify Kaguya's bounce. What he thought would be decently steamy was having Kaguya's chest fly out of that window in her top... but alas, he couldn't be the one to make that happen ─ certainly not at this stage. All he could do was take advantage of the moment for a little longer than necessary. "Oh, right. Sumanai. I guess that'll do for now~" he said. Miyuki snapped to reality only after hearing his name. It seemed the turn was passing to him. As such, he cleared his throat and righted his posture. "Ahem. Well it looks like we're in a couple's war, so... truth or dare... Iino-chan?"

Kaguya's point was considered fair by Miyuki. Miko was visibly distracted by moving boobs, but even while she ate purin she didn't stop paying attention to what was said and how it sounded. All of her time here was observational, she meant to figure out what Miyuki was like beyond what he showed himself to be. Odd though it was, she actually enjoyed this part of meeting new people. 'Tunnel vision and concerned with propriety, but distracted and in his own head a bit,' Miko thought. At the same time, Kaguya continued moving her breasts about. Swaying and shifting it seemed that Miyuki was lost in the sauce so to speak only seeing the movements and not why they were happening.

A quick jerk would be the end of Kaguya's boob related mimicry. A bounce intense enough to stretch that little window right before Yugi claimed enough had been done. "Wooh♥~ Take it easy on me, physical conditioning is so not my strong suit~" Kaguya stated as if that wasn't obvious. "Stop skipping gym class..." was all Miko had to say which only caused Kaguya to laugh, but that didn't mean she'd be doing anything but continuing to skip gym class when it suited her. No matter, Miyuki decided that Miko was his target once again. She looked up from her pudding and then back around the room. If this game was truth or dare, she could easily answer most questions. But... that didn't mean she wanted to be the topic of study for someone else. Just the same... she also had to play with game with a bit of strategy. She'd played an 'innocent game' with Yugi not too long ago, and she and he had been playing two very different games. With that in mind she wouldn't be leaving herself open to too many rotations where she couldn't make truth her choice for Kaguya and Yugi for obvious reasons. Ah, but that made it obvious that Miyuki could and should be the person she chose to take dares from. He was too much of an upstanding citizen to push the envelope too far with someone else's girlfriend. And even if he did push a bit... she figured his tasks would be more manageable. "War is a strong term, but I'll take a dare..." Miko said. If only to keep herself out of the limelight for too long. Kaguya's brow rose, she didn't expect Miko to take a dare.

One additional bounce made some very clear progress happen under Kaguya's shirt. Seeing that expansion, Yugi believed he could have actually worked her to the point of a great reveal. Another life, another game perhaps. In this reality, he was urged to go easy on the girl who didn't keep up with her physical conditioning. Based on what he could see and sense, Kaguya was the stronger of two awakened Hunters here... and he doubted it was a magic-leaning strength. "You should do some conditioning. You'll probably need it. I've got some experience in training for that kind of stuff," he suggested with a hidden meaning that went right over Miyuki's head. "Not to burst your bubble, Kiriya-kun, but that might not help. She's definitely awakened now, and Hunters have different floors," the blonde argued.

That wouldn't be the only disagreement between the males. First, Miyuki had to disagree with Miko's assertion. She thought war was a strong term, but he thought it was quite fitting. "I think it works. What else could it be?" he asked. Yugi interjected with a scoff. "Either side could win a war. This is a game. Team Vengeance is winning," he insisted. "Eh? This isn't exactly a game that someone can win," Miyuki replied. "It is. You just can't tell I'm winning," Yugi corrected. With that, Miyuki snickered as if he thought the black-haired lad was just joking around. "As you like. Alright, Iino-chan... I dare you to say one genuine, positive thing about everyone here, including yourself," he challenged. Normal, safe... that was the sort of dare Miyuki would dish out in this early stage of the game.

An additional bounce made it obvious that Kaguya was close to popping out of that shirt. Miko knew this, Yugi knew this... and Miyuki remained seemingly unperturbed. That was until the offer of physical training hit, it was without question meant to be a play on words, Miko understood that. She could tell by the tone that it wasn't about true exercise, even if it could be interpreted as such. Kaguya, could only smirk. "Nooo♥~ Don't make me♥~" Kaguya said in lightly teasing terms, obviously she understood and such a thing could only be counted as a flirt, Miko decided. According to Miyuki, Kaguya was definitely already awakened and by that knowledge physical training might not help. "That doesn't sound right," Miko murmured. Truly in her opinion, even if magical density determined rank, that just meant the only thing people had after their skills and mana reserves was their own physical ability and senses. All things which could be trained, enhanced or used in novel ways. Apparently the advent of magical powers in this world hadn't come with enough childish whimsy, she decided.

What else could this be besides a couples war? "I'm not a words person... I couldn't say what the right one was, until I heard it♪~" Miko asserted. She could say what sounded wrong, even if she couldn't initially fill in what was right. Regardless, the differences in opinion between Yugi and Miyuki were becoming more and more obvious as time went on. Yugi could be considered aggressive, brash and unbothered. Miyuki was quietly polite to the point of fault. 'He's laughing it off, interesting...' Miko thought as she considered what was going to be a dare. It would seem in this way, even she'd miscalculated to an extreme. She'd expected Miyuki to be an easy target to take dares from, she hadn't expected a dare so tame. Her eyes widened just a bit, she expected a joke, an amendment... something, but no, just something positive said about everyone present, including herself. "Sou ka, from what I know of you so far, Shirogane-san is consistent and understated," Miko asserted. "Kaya is always resilient and flexible," Miko confirmed the positivity of her own like of her friend. "Omen-kun is the most brilliant and unreserved, person I've ever met..." Miko gave what she considered to be truly positive compliments for everyone in the room. As for herself, she could have chosen a few things. She was quite confident in her cooking ability, er singling ability, her piano playing and even her empathy, but what she chose instead, when her mouth opened to compliment herself was, "And I have a great butt♪~"

The way Kaguya was speaking, she'd definitely be subjected to Yugi's personal training routine. Yugi wasn't even worried about Miyuki's lack of understanding for the truth beneath the pretense. Arguing that matter would have required giving details even Kaguya didn't have yet. The Players weren't Hunters. They could level up and become, presumably, infinitely more powerful. Even if it took superior power to improve the physique of an awakened one, that threshold was easily within reach. No matter. The 'training' he actually spoke of was something more along the lines of a thing he and Kaguya already discussed.

Moving on, Miko took her dare instead of a drink. She had something to say about each person in the room, starting with Miyuki... who took her words as a compliment with nuance. "Well that makes me feel like I seem boring. I'll have to do better~" he chattered with another faint laugh. Onward to Kaguya's compliment he went, and then there was Yugi... who remained silent upon receiving his words. He'd say nothing, but Miyuki would when Miko gave herself a compliment. "I'll just have to believe that... but I'm sure there are other great things you could say about yourself," he said, not at all intending to argue her original point. Yugi, however, had two things to say. "I would have just said prove it. But beyond that... I don't accept what was said about me as a positive. Neutral fact. Task failed. Drink," he said flatly. Of course, telling Miko to drink was the only reason he even spoke in that moment ─ apart from his mention of demanding proof for her self-observation.

The idea that power could be improved and shared was being shown in the System the Players used. People like Miyuki might not have understood that but it also didn't seem to matter. Whatever the case, that topic wasn't one to be broached. No... Miko's choice in compliments were what were being discussed. Miyuki accepted his compliment with enough introspection to see the underlying issue of Miko's word choice. "Well, I haven't known you personally for very long so, gambareyo♪~" Miko wished the blonde man luck, not maliciously but as a simple matter of course, it was simply how she was. Kaguya for her part in this accepted her own compliment, "Ooh♥~ That one wasn't even backhanded, Mi-chan's being nice today♥~" she claimed with a casual eye roll. Well, at least her own compliment wasn't such, the one that had been aimed at Miyuki had definitely called him boring and the one aimed at Yugi had been more factual even if Miko actually believed in the strength of that compliment.

"Facts are compliments, indisputable ones, given how I feel about them. But if you don't accept I won't argue with you about it..." was Miko's reply to Yugi. There was the matter of semantics, subjectivity and the like, but she assumed his overarching plan was to create drunkenness in the young women to take advantage of... as such she'd not be placing herself too far outside of the realm of danger. Besides all that he was likely to realize that she fully intended to never take a dare from him... as such he probably thought to press a few buttons early on the road to his secret victory. As such she had one more bite of her purin before something would interfere with the taste of it, and she approached her shot glass with tentative curiosity. A sniff, something woodsy and a bit spicy, and then a decision, based on her knowledge of her bartending uncle. Alcohol was either to be sipped slowly to thrown back with haste. Never to be let stand in the mouth for too long. She picked up that glass and tiltled it back, allowing alcohol to grace her tongue and fill her senses before the burn of it cascaded down her throat. She lurched, but she was far too gluttonous to let something escape her. As such it went down and she... hiccupped. "Fuck♪~ My throat is on fire♪~" Miko chirped with tiny tears forming at the side of her eyes, but even a second later she could feel warmth in her belly spreading across her skin and making her throat feel odd. She'd almost practically fallen over to the side, but mostly that was so she could aim the roundness of her ass right at Yugi while she recovered from her hiccupping fit. Well, he could see it... "I'm here for random Mi-chan swear words♥~" Kaguya teased seeming to find something amusing about the girl's word choice.
