[Warning: Knives & Blood so you might wanna skip dis if u ain't comfortable]

3 hours after posting the new revival page a dare had already popped up inside the old-fashioned Askn'Dare mailbox that has been placed In front of the (rebuilt) treehouse. The dare itself has been sent from a familiar fellow that they sure missed..well mostly everyone
-

Thunder: you should have grown more this year and yet you're still as small as ever *caresses the  Lil kitten*

Bolt: mew? *curls on Thundys lap upwards and stares at thunder with her giant cute orbs*

Thunder: don't do this to me bolt...

Bolt: *inches closer and snuggles her forehead into Thundy's palm and purrs* 

Thunder: *inhales*....*buries his head in the kitten's furry chest as he internally screams*

Cyclone: Thundy what are you doing?

Thunder: *jolts back into his previous sitting position as Bolt stares at him confused* ummm, I fell asleep and bolt decided to bury himself beneath me?

Cyclone:.... why?

Thunder: I have soft hair?..wait why are you here

Cyclone: I should ask you, we're literally on the top of the treehouse

Thunder:......

Cyclone: ......

Bolt: ........

Coco: ...Tweet

Cyclone: oh and I was playing with coco, he wanted to go out and stretch his beautiful chocolate colored wings owo

Coco: *lands beside Bolt and snuggles with her*

Cyclone: and now he's snuggling with Bolt 

Thunder: whatever

Cyclone: aweee they look so adorable together, don't you agree thundy?

Thunder: *shrugs* it's probably time I get off here and do something else *walks towards the ladder that is connected to one of the outside balconies of the treehouse*

Cyclone: whaaa you're leaving already? I just got here, why don't you stick around a bit more and have fun with mee, I mean it's been a while hasn't it? Since we hung out together..gosh now I wished that I still had that box of toys you accidentally left-back at Rose's home

Thunder: first of all, I left it on purpose second, you were the one supposed to take it back, it's your property, not mine so I wasn't the one responsible

Cyclone: *lays on his hoverboard downwards (like a suffer) his chest placed on the board* ehhh, don't blame me I didn't know you weren't going to bring it back

Thunder: *sigh* maybe next time cy *goes down but bolt passes by the ladder with Coco * when did-.. nevermind

Cyclone: woahhhhhh, Bolt just passed the ladder you were climbing from

Thunder: well yeah, she might have just jumped off from the top, being a cat and all

Cyclone: buuuuut Bolt is a black cat

Thunder: and?

Cyclone: haven't you heard? If a black cat passes under the ladder you're currently climbing on, you'll get bad luck!

Thunder: ...your point?

Cyclone: it means you have bad luck! For today maybe or forever!

Thunder: Cy that's utter nonsense, just folklore or a lie told to little children like the other lies and nonsense adult splatter about. Besides that, Bolt just passed by the ladder not under it...the ladder is carved into the wood-

Cyclone: there is still a possibility tho~

Thunder: whatever I'll be inside if you need me for something that isn't childish okay?  *Leaves Cycy as he goes back inside*

Cyclone: oh but dear thunderstorm, you might regret not listening to me, for today will possibly be the most gruesome, the most fear-filled, most torturous day of you entire- wait Coco are you playing hide and seek? LEMME JOIN *flies after the two pets*

---

Thunder: *enters the main room and immediately trips*...Cyclone better have not of jinxed me URGHHH, what in the world did I even trip o-

Solar: where is IT?!

Thorns: wheres what solar?

Solar: MY CAP, I LEFT IT IN MY ROOM AND ITS GONE

Dark: c-calm down solar, maybe its somewhere nearby ..maybe the trio decided to play a trick or something? n..not that I'm blaming them, it's just a possibility ..ah

Thorn: really? they didn't plan anything yet, well not that I know of yet

Solar: are you sure- just...lets just search for it before I blow a self fuse

Thorn: I'll go check my garden! Maybe Dark can check the attic

Solar: right right...wait we have an attic?

Thorn: eyep we added it in after you destroyed the treehouse before

Solar: ooh...why do we need an attic again?

Thorn: I dunno but you should probably go with Dark so you can be his light 

Solar: r-right haha...

Dark: Oh alright then come on let's go then *grabs solars hand and leaves*

Thorn: (.w.) I'm still jelly, but if it makes sol happy *walks away*

Thunder: ...did.....did they just straight up ignore my presence?..*picks up the thing he tripped on* oh its the shades...I'm just gonna *places it beside cacti and flees*

-

Soon enough Thunder managed to arrive in the living room..but not before tripping every 5 seconds from the stuff scattered on the floor

Thunder: WHY IS THERE SO MUCH STUFF ON THE FLOOR AND WHERE IS QUAKE TO LECTURE WHOEVER LEFT THESE STUFF ON THE FLOOR

Pyro: Hewo Thund- woah boi, you looked bruised is this the new fashion trend? 

Thunder: ....thanks for noticing me, do you caused this mess and where the heck is quake?

Pyro: mmm not sure, haven't seen him all morning and the mess? I could ask Blaz-

Blaze: Yes I'm the cause of the mess, No I haven't seen quake and Yes I can see you're having a bad day and I'm fine with seeing you like this :>

Thunder: *takes a deep breath and stands up* really where is quake?

Pyro: Maybe Mia knows? ...then again I haven't seen her as wel-

Mia: *smashes the door open with a letter in her hand* WE GOT A DARE BOIS AND YOU'RE GONNA BELIEVE WHO DARED US :D

Thunder: isn't it suppose to be ' not gonna believe?'

Mia: ill give you a hint, shes amazing

Blaze: you say that to everyone because they are all amazing

Mia: true, shes shipped with two people

Pyro: aren't we all?...well besides me of course ..cough

Mia: and shes my ido-

Thorn: *jumps in* is it Rra-Cwan owo 

Mia: DING DING DING, congrats Thorn you receive a hug *hugs the Lil one*

Blaze: Dangit that was going to be my answer as well

Pyro: oh oh open it, open it!

Thunder: Goodluck to the victim I'm out

Mia: *rips the letter open but makes sure the envelope was in one piece* hold on there, THE VICTIM IS YOU PIKACHU

Thunder: I'm not afraid to slash a girl 

Blaze: oooooh, what is the dare about

Mia:

Blaze: OH HELL YES

Thunder: OH HELL NO

Thorn: why no '^'

Thunder: because I said so *tries to run away but trips on the envelope* .....*siGhs*

Pyro: do you know what game that is Thundy?

Thunder: no not fully, but I know for a fact that this is dangerous and quake would never agree to something as  such

Mia: I know, that's why I got mom to leave the house for the day by tricking him in thinking he's  running errands but really he's going to be experiencing the luckiest day of his  life

Thunder: while I'm having the Unluckiest day of my life, I see how it is...

Blaze: seeing how you look like right now, its probably going to get worst

Thunder: gee thanks for the unnecessary confirmation

Thorn: so Thunder is gonna play with knives:

|[Intermission]|

Solar: okay sorry for the sudden disturbance but I'm here to help explain to those who don't know what this game is, Base on what Wikipedias words The knife game, pinfinger, nerve, bishop, stabscotch, stabberscotch, five finger fillet (FFF), or "stab between the fingers game, there's a lot of names for it but you know the deal
 is a wherein, placing the palm of one's down on a table with apart, using a (such as a or knife), or other sharp objects, one attempts to stab back and forth between one's fingers, moving the object back and forth, trying to not hit one's fingers. The game is intentionally dangerous, exposing players to the of and, and, before antibiotics, an or penetration risked and. A foldable blade carries the additional danger that "as the faster you go, the more likely the blade will fold back in on itself trapping the finger of your stabbing hand.
So if any of you were to attempt in playing I suggest using much more safe like using another object which is blunt, such as the eraser side of a pencil or a marker with its cap on

Mia: solar, I know you're smart and all but....simplify this, please-

Solar: *sigghhhhhs* in other words, just..just listen to the song  but really I suggest none of you try something like this using sharp objects which can risk major injuries like bleeding or cutting your fingers off

Mia: and that is why you're taking Thorn away *pushes thorn to solar* go go go go we cant expose him to something like this

Solar: oh um right, let's go find my shades dear, and ask the readers if they've seen it..or stole it  *leaves*

Mia: the message was sent loud and clear sunrise, back to our (late)daily schedule

|[End of Intermission]|

Thunder: ...skipping whatever that was..you guys don't exactly have any balloons

Blaze: oh thunder, don't jinx yourself because the attic has a box full of it :)

Dark: Hi um sorry for intruding but thorn said to give you this box for something, ill leave you all here okay? *disappears- Nah he just walked away*

Blaze: Oh heavens look, it got delivered to us and we didn't even have to move 

Pyro: ill start blowing them up *drags himself and the box to the corner*

Thunder: I still don't want to do this

Ice: *enters the room* Hey um guys why is there a big package in front of the treehouse

Mia: SHES HERE *runs outside*

Ice: who-

Thunder: since when did packages have pronouns

Blaze: don't be so homophobic you'll hurt the packages feelings, they can have pronouns too

Thunder: i...

Mia: *busts  inside with the big package* SOFA

Blaze: ON YOUR RIGHT!

Mia: *plops the package on the sofa* sorry for the hard but soft landing box-chan

Ice: what is this box even for?

Mia: *knocks on the package*knock knock, is anyone home?

Suddenly the package started to fidget, moving left and right before the top burst open revealing

RRa: HEYYO, missed me?

Mia: Rra channn *hugs her*

Rra: miss you too Mia

Thunder: isn't this a delightful surprise, I'm intrigued by how you manage to not suffocate in there

Rra: I have my ways and besides *throws a knife upwards, catching in by the edge before passing it to thunder*

Thunder: this is..really sharp

Rra: specially customized for the dare as well, so come on you better get started oh and Blaze your singing *throws a paper plane at him* 

Blaze: ack- thanks? *rubs his head as he unfolds the piece of paper* OHH I've heard this song, I'll memorize this in a flinch

Rra: we need a guitarist, Ice I heard you're able to play the guitar in this world 

Ice:.. it has been a while since that was established, and I haven't touched a single guitar string or strung any chords for a year or so... sure why not

Rra: the chords are quite easy, * throws a guitar at ice* you'll do great

Ice:*catches it with the music sheet* thanks

Mia: *setting the table and chair*

Thunder: what exactly do I need to do?

Rra: to give a simple explanation, I'll use the number format. Because you're underage

Mia: and because we can't drink either way because ...ye

Rra: Theresa tad of change from the original rules

1. We'll spin you around in a wheeled-chair about 7 times or so maybe 70 but who counts really

2. After that, you need to place the palm part of your hand on a flat surface and open them as wide as you can which means there will be gaps between your fingers

Thunder: oddly specific but okay..

Rra: we haven't gotten to the fun part yet!

3. the knife comes to play, as the song is played you need to stab the knife between the gaps following after the rhythm of the song in order and it must be fully in sync!

Thunder: .......

Mia: I would have thought you would run about now

Thunder: my luck isn't letting me and I will probably get more Injured in the process..

Rra: and if you read the letter every time you fail you receive a punishment, speaking of punishment...

Pyro: i- have...*huff* blown all tha balloons,*puff* I need oxygen- *falls down*

Rra: oh and the only way to finish the dare is if you don't fail (stab yourself) until the end of the song

Thunder: how long is it...

Mia: one minute and 20 seconds

Blaze: got it memorized!

Rra: are you sure? Are you confident with your memory , cause if you mess up you might get a punishment as well

Blaze: hahhaha I'm just gonna go double-check

Mia: ready thundy?

Thunder: I changed my mind... you're not forcing me to do this

Blaze: awh what's wrong don't tell me your scared, has the Pikachu become a little coward-chu afraid of a Lil ol' knifu

Rra: I'm not gonna ask what concept you just used to say that but hey it worked

Thunder: if you're implying I'm weak you should look in a mirror

Blaze: don't ignore the inevitable, we could just... tell all the readers our lightning element is a coward who isn't going to even do a dare, everyone knows you can't back out from a dare like this

Thunder: ..you know what? FINE,*sits on the chair* give me that knife

Rra: *passes to him again*try not to drop it, she's fragile

Mia: ready Vocals?

Blaze: all set

Mia: guitarist?

Ice: *thumbs up*

Mia: tor- punishment manager

Pyro: is that me?- Oh um ready patty

Mia: my name's Mia, but let's begin!

With a spin from the wheeled chair and placing his left palm on the table, the dizzy red-figure lifted the knife, awaiting the vocals to come in with the melody of the guitar 

Blaze: 

There is an old tradition, a game we all can play

you start by getting liquored up and sharpening your blade

You take a shot of whiskey, you grab your knife and pray

And Spread apart your fingers, and this is what you say

As blaze began singing, Thunder took a deep breath as he began. Each stab could be heard as loud as the force the boy use to stab it, leaving marks on the table.

Oh, I have all my fingers, the knife goes chop chop chop

If I miss the spaces in between, my fingers will come off

Thunder: gah-!

he let go of the knife out of instinct holding his hand. It didn't pierce through the whole finger but the tip had mark and blood was starting to gather near the cut

Ice: are you okay

Thunder: I'm- *flinches from the sudden pop*

Blaze: *holding a needle* 1 fail 0 success

Pyro: woahhh

Rra: pfff, you know the rules you need to do it again

Thunder: Seriously?! Do you really want me too...*sighs* lets just...just get this over with

Blaze: *starts from the beginning*

If I miss the spaces in between, my fingers will come off

And If I hit my fingers, the blood will soon come out

But all the same I play this game cause thats what its all about

And so the game begins again, this time thunder manage to last longer until the end of the first chorus but he lost focus and mess the rhythm

POP

Before he could even register his lost the sudden pop had almost caused him to fall off his chair, his eyes widened and sweat started forming...this was going to take many many attempts

o you can't use a pencil, you can not use a pen

the only way is with a knife when danger is your friend

And during the whole process Rra and Mia had begun eating popcorn, they would have to admit they felt sorry for the young boy because they weren't monsters but sometimes even dares are merciless. They then shared a glance agreeing they should probably make up to him later

And some may call it stupid, some may call it dumb

but all the same we play this game because it's so damn fun

Multiple retries

Oh, I have all my fingers, the knife goes chop chop chop

Each time he failed he would repeat right away

if I miss the spaces in between, my fingers will come off

and if I hit my fingers, the blood will soon come out

The balloons didn't make it easier as well, and it made his Misophonia worst

but all the same I play this game cause that's what its all about

His hands had never felt in so much pain, but the pressure made it numb

Oh, chop chop chop chop chop chop chop

I'm picking up the speed

It felt as if the more he did it the faster everything went for him

and if I hit my fingers then my hand will start to bleed

Ice: that's..the final chord *stretches his hands because they were numb from playing repeatedly*

Blaze: I have a sore throat but IDC! *cough*

Pyro: oh no we still have ¼ balloons qwq

Cyclone: hey guys I just got back and I won a round of hide an- THUNDER ARE YOU OKAY?! *runs beside thunder*

The red figure was leaning on the chair, one of his hands were placed on his chest which was moving up and down frantically. The boy was panting, beads of sweat covered his forehead and his eyes were wide as it stared into nothingness. He had another hand on the now ruined table due to its wooden pieces being chipped off by the knife before. His hands were covered in cuts and scars that oozed out blood but none of them hit the joint nor the bones

Cyclone: y-your hand...

Rra: bruised but not broken, somehow, *wrapping the hand* sorry for that hehe

Mia: *clapping* CONGRATS ThUndy

Rra: yeah congrats on that thun

Cyclone: wait rra-..did I miss a dare?

Rra:  a dare that involved violence, yes indeed. Mia remember to give a warning before the chapter starts

Mia: alright owo, I will totally not forget

Blaze: shes gonna forget

Pyro: guysss... we still have leftover balloons what are going to with them?

Rra: hm..ill take them as a souvenir of today

Thunder: i..lets never do that again

Rra: right thundy hope you don't mind not being able to use your dominant hand for a couple of chaps, I'm surprised you used you none dominant one too do the game

Blaze: wait really?..huh impressive

Thunder: ...thanks

Cyclone: don't worry thun thun, ill help you when you need to eat!

Rra: pity really , we still haven't done the Knife throwing game yet, and it has a 3-4 minute song!

Thunder: NOPE, NU UH NO WAY JOSE, IM OUT

Cyclone: wait thundy don't leave without me *follows thunder outside*

Rra: haha oh well, guess ill have to make Solar play it instead!

Blaze: yeah I'm just gonna...stay hydrated

Pyro: Remember kiddos , teens, and adults no matter the age we must always drink water because it is essential and help us stay hydrated, without it, we would end into a drastic external crisis

Mia: pyro- no.. no ads yet, nice message tho

Pyro: thanks I learned from the best

Ice: whos the best

Pyro : owo

Ice: ..okay

Rra: alright time to bring home balloons, thanks for having me

Mia: time to wrap it up than boys

Pyro: toilet paper or wrapping paper

Mia: sayo'nya'ra! , and good meownin!

And this chap is a wrap after being 2 weeks late, oh dear I'm sorry again- I should stop apologizing but anyway Blaze still isn't joining us today sadly but we have

Solar: "me! and I finally found my glasses but..they're broken *sighs*"

There there young sunshine, there are still many glasses in the world
just go buy one

Solar: "...its one of a kind, nevermind that before you close the story I need to explain Misophonia it-"

Make it short, please-

Solar: "..mm fine, it's a disorder that certain sounds trigger emotional or physiological responses from the person that suffers it, and for thunderstorms case loud popping sounds will most likely trigger him in many different ways"

Thank you for not creating a whole paragraph as an explanation and making this chapter longer than it should ^w^

Solar:"i-"

Rra: "found you solar!~ time for the knife flipping game J"

Solar: "wait what- where are you dragging me—mercy"
