EY MARIO ☆ truth or dare

[wormwood.]

i was born, on the highway, in a train wreck

with a heart, that was beating, out of my chest

As of recently, Aurum had been feeling a bit down in the dumps. Not so bad or depressed that he wouldn't leave his home, or Roy would notice, but there was an underlying sense of unease within him. He wasn't sure if it was because of the chill in the air, the new target on his back as a result of Kydobi's death, the fact that Goldie was stuck watching over the Pitt, or just all of the general nonsense going on with Crowley as of late, but he definitely found himself wishing that it would all just stop. In an effort to combat this feeling, Aurum had decided to put on a little feel good event in the tavern, one that would be easy to set up and enjoy. It was definitely on a smaller scale than say, the gift gala, but he still figured it would be fun, and he desperately needed some fun at the moment. He had to, of course, clean up the bits of scraps that were still left over from the gift gala within the building, such as the remains of wrapping paper and knocked over food, but it wasn't a massive task for the lion, and soon enough it was done, and he was setting up for the little game he had planned. Truth or dare was relatively simple, so all Aurum really needed to do was set up a table with some alcohol for the holiday themed twist he had on the game. He had taken a bunch of bottles down from behind the bar and put them in the middle of one of the large tables, nodding firmly when he believed there was enough. He had put a firm limit on how much he would be drinking tonight, not wanting a repeat from the last time he had gotten drunk and gone running to Crowley, but that didn't mean he was going to limit anybody else – unless they were a danger in some way, of course.

Once he felt satisfied that the relatively simple gathering was set up, the lion turned and headed out of the two large double doors of the tavern, stretching a bit before settling on his haunches. He watched the bustling of his clanmates all around him in the town for a long moment, before he eventually called out, spreading his wings to draw attention, "Hey, if you wanna play a holiday themed truth or dare game, come here! We've got drinks!" He couldn't help the faint grin that came to his face as some of his clanmates looked up in interest, either at the prospect of a game or at the prospect of booze. Once a fairly sizable group had gathered around, Aurum rumbled happily, his tail flicking lazily back and forth, "Alright, so, this should be fairly simple. It'll be like a normal truth or dare game, except holiday themed. All of your questions and dares need to be either holiday or winter themed, like "I dare you to go outside and bury yourself in the snow" or, "who do you really want a gift from this year?" If your question or dare isn't holiday or winter themed, then you have to take a drink. You also have to take a drink if you won't do a dare, or won't answer a question. Sound good?" He watched as several of those gathered around him nodded, and he nodded back to them as they began to move behind him to inside the tavern. He was about to move inside as well, before his one blue eye widened considerably, and he hastily added on, "Ah, and kids can participate as well! Obviously they can't drink the booze, but I have apple juice for them to drink instead." Sure, perhaps apple juice didn't have the same properties as alcohol did, but it wasn't as if Aurum wanted to promote underage drinking. Not to mention the fact that he wanted to be inclusive, considering the age range of Tanglewood had been steadily shifting more and more towards younger members.
