Chapter 1

I look around the room, making sure everything is prepared. Comfortable bean-bags stationed in a circle? Check. Curtains pulled back from the two windows as to let it light? Check. Computer? Check. Refrigerator and microwave? Check. Closet of Doom? Still being creepy, check.

"Now all I need before they show up is…" I mumble.

"Here you go," Joseph says, handing over a dark blue backpack.

"Why'd you have my bag of magic?" I ask, raising an eyebrow. "You can use your own…"

"Uhm, no reason," he says innocently.

"Mhmm, well, I'll have to deal with you later." No doubt he was trying to figure out how to use it because, while he can use magic, my bag has more powerful spells. Hence the reason I don't want my muses getting ahold of it… "That seems to be everything… except for the—"

The door flies open and Shade walks in, struggling to carry a rather large burlap sack… that is definitely moving. "Where do you want them?" he grunts.

"Uh… on one of the bean-bags?"

He plops the bag on the closest one and undos the tie on the top of it. Whoever was in it flails a little before making it out. Actually, make that there were two people in the sack—Leo and Luna. "What is this, Rise of the Guardians?" Leo asks before staring at me. "Oh."

I grin at him, "Just wait a couple minutes."

Five minutes later, and all the people I need are here. Jack and Crow had been chased in here by Lucy (which involved magic fire and me revoking her magic ability for a month), and Meri somehow managed to get Yusei and Akiza here peacefully.

I clap my hands together and smile. "Hi! Welcome to the place you'll be trapped in for a while!"

"What?!" they all simultaneously shout.

"Oh yes. Lucy, Shade, and Meri didn't tell you guys that?"

"Shade shoved the two of us in a sack," Leo said, motioning to Luna, "Lucy chased Jack and Crow here, and Meri bribed Yusei and Akiza. No, they didn't tell us."

"We still get cake, right?" Akiza asks.

"Sure," I say, pulling out my bag. I reach into it and… out comes a plate, a fork, and a slice of cake on top of the plate. I hand it to Akiza.

"Okay, with that out of the way… you might like to make yourselves comfortable." I plop down on a bean-bag, as do the rest of them. "See, have you here because—"

The door opens and I'm about to yell at the person for interrupting me, but then I realize that it's just Sky. "You're late," I note.

"Yeah. So?" She sits down on a bean-bag and, noticing that the Signers are staring at her, grins at them.

"Well, I might revoke your immunity," I reply.

Her eyes widen a little, and she puts her hands up. "Alright, sorry."

"Okay, immunity from what and why are we here?" Yusei asks.

"Why, immunity from having to do a dare or tell a truth," I reply, grinning as realization crosses their faces. "Yep, you're all currently trapped in a truth-or-dare fic."

"Great, another one," Crow mumbles. "You'd think that Ask and Torture Cast one was enough."

"Well, thanks to Lucy, it's not!" I say. "That, and the fact that my own touch hasn't been done to a genre like this."

"Ooh, can I say the rules?" Lucy asks.

"Sure," I reply.

"Sweet! Okay…"

"Rule 1: No yaoi/yuri.

Rule 2: The characters cannot die. However, they can feel pain and if any dares involve maiming then the severed limb(s) will grow back.

Rule 3: You can submit as many truths and/or dares as you like, they just might not all show up in the same chapter (or at all if Shimmering-Sky can't figure out a way to write it).

Rule 4: If you leave a truth/dare, please put who you want to be the recipient of it and who you want to be the one who hands it out. If you don't care, just put N/A or something like that.

Rule 5: Use your wildest imagination.

Rule 6: Any suggestions for truths might be met with Shimmering-Sky coming up with something funny for that (so it'll probably not be cannon), unless it's something involving liking someone else, in which case it will be deadly serious but probably still not cannon.

Rule 7: Shimmering-Sky's muses are not allowed to accept truths. Dares, on the other hand, are perfectly okay.

Rule 7 ½: Sky is immune to dares and truths."

At this, my golden-haired OC does a little fist bump and mutters, "Yes!"

Lucy continues, "Rule 8: Anyone who refuses to answer a truth or do a dare will be banished to the Closet of Doom for five minutes.

Rule 9: Every once in a while, a new character will be added. If you (the reader) have one in mind, leave it in a review and he/she will most likely be added (though only one per chapter).

Rule 10: Requests can be sent in via review or PM.

Rule 11: If you are reading mcdinh's Ask and Torture Cast fic, please try not to leave the same dare(s) as you have submitted to hers, if you have. Truths are okay though, because Shimmering-Sky will be able to put her own spin on them."

"That seems to be it, but there's a lot of extra space on this list," Lucy comments.

"I left some room for anything I need to add later," I reply. "But yes, that's it for the rules… for the moment. And now that you guys know what's going on, I have an example dare for the readers to see how I will show the requests in here."

I take a piece of paper with writing scribbled all over it to Yusei. He takes it and says, "You want me to read this, right?"

I roll my eyes. "No, I want you to eat it. Of course I want you to read it."

"Sorry."

Request by: Shimmering-Sky

Request: Dare

Sender: Yusei

Receiver: Jack

Put spaghetti sauce in Jack's socks, then force him to walk around in them for ten minutes. He also has to have shoes on while walking.

The blonde shakes his head furiously. "These shoes are brand-new and cost more than that laptop you're currently using. I'm not ruining them."

"So, you'd rather face the Closet of Doom?" I ask. When he looks at it and shivers a little, I add, "Yeah, that's what I thought. Here, you can borrow these." I toss a pair of black-and-purple sneakers at him. Well, they're supposed to be black, but it seems to be slightly caked in dried mud and dead grass.

"You know my foot size?"

"No, I just have freakishly large feet and I ruined those shoes throughout band camp. Oh, the left one might scrape some skin off your heel. Part of the inside is sticking out."

He rolls his eyes and puts the shoes on. They fit (barely), but it'll do. I pull a wand out of my bag of magic and wave it a little. There is a small squishy sound, and Jack suddenly starts walking around on his own. Each time he steps, the squish sound happens again.

"This feels so disgusting!" the blonde moans.

"Too bad," I say.

When the time runs out, I let him go to the bathroom to wash off his feet.

Everyone else is trying to hold in laughs.

"Hey, you should laugh when you can," I say. "You know the dares are open to lots of evil stuff."

~To be continued~

So, please leave a review or send me a PM if you have a request or you just want to say that I should continue this story. Either way works. Until next time!

PS: Descriptions of what my muses look like will be added to my profile.
