"🆆🅷🅰🆃 🅰🅼 🅸 🆂🆄🅿🅿🅾🆂🅴🅳 🆃🅾 🅳🅾, just sit back while a very interesting game of Spin the Bottle is ongoing?" Dudeman asked Vivian.

"Yes, that's exactly what you should've done," Adir told him.

"I mean, I wouldn't have," Vivian said, not being very helpful.

"See? We got a reasonable one here," said Dudeman smugly. "Say, little reasonable childe, what do you say to give the first dare?"

"Not when you're calling me 'childe,'" Vivian said. "Or 'little,' for that matter." They sweetly smiled.

"Estamos condenados, este é o fim," Andre mumbled, subconsciously taking Sebastian's hand.

"We're not doomed," Sebastian muttered back, squeezing his hand.

"Of course we are, Seb," Andre answered, "Look, we've been captured, our families are in danger, and this just sounds like a nightmare."

Sebastian wrapped his arm around Andre, "We can get out. No one just traps people like this when they could've done something easier." 

Dudeman was looking bored. "If you guys don't start for practice I'm going to give you some dares and truths myself - and they're gonna [redacted] blow yours out of the water."

Vivian facepalmed. "Have you guys even been listening to what the kidnapper dude has been saying?"

Adir sighed. "Fine. Truth or dare, anybody?"

"Someone dare me," Jax decided, taking one for the team.

"Uh, Jax, I dare you to...." Adir paused. "...remove your socks with your teeth?" 

Vivian snorts very very loudly. 

"Dude, I'm still in my swimsuit. I don't even have socks on." Jax pointed out.

"Time is ticking, Jax," Dudeman said. "We don't got all day."

Liv said, to no one in particular, "'Don't got all day?' What, so we just have to wait this out? Easy."

"Then put on socks and then do the dare," Adir suggested to Jax.

"Anyone have socks I can borrow?" Jax asked, glancing around.

"I have some," Sebastian offered.

"Hand 'em over," Jax said, grimacing slightly and holding his hand out. 

"Wait, Seb, you're really willing to let someone else wear the socks off your own feet?" Andre grimaced. "You do you, my friend."

Jax put the socks on and gagged as he tugged them off with his teeth.

Owen looked like he was stopping himself from laughing, while Cali gagged with distgust.

Sebastian ignored Andre and clapped when Jax accomplished his dare. 

Adir started clapping. "Nice job."

"Who's going next?" Sebastian wondered. "I'll go, I guess?" Sebastian decided.

"Truth or dare then?" Jax asked.

"Um....truth, I guess," he said for dRaMa.

"Y'all are [redacted] boring," Dudeman whined. "Make up something good before I skin you all." Then he turned to Aimee. "Although I'm sure pretty girl could come up with something much better than all of you," he teased in such a way that you could almost hear his wink.

"Cipher, are you flirting with the guests again?" called a middle-aged man's voice.

"Oh, shut up, I'm just having a bit of fun while you sip your watery coffee."

"Someone give me a truthhh," Sebastian said, frowning.

Owen glared at dudeman, then protectively stood in front of Aimee.

Aimee frowns, "Well obviously I could come up with a better truth or dare." she finally says.

"Someone give the guy a [redacted] truth already," Liv complained.

"See? See, the pretty girl got some sense!" he said. "Hit 'em with one."

"I've got one for you, Sebastian. Do you like Andre?" Owen finally said.

Sebastian froze, "Yeah, of course, I do, platonically though." He said, glancing at Andre to see his face.

Adir raised an eyebrow. "Platonically. You sure about that?"

Sebastian nodded at Adir, trying not to blush, and failing. 

"Look, is that a mildly interesting truth I see?" Dudeman asked.

"Who's next?" Owen asked. 

"How about you?" Dudeman asked Owen smugly.

"Me?" Owen glanced nervously around. Adir was having the strange urge of wanting to go after Owen.

"You're kidding, right, dudeman?"

"Why would he be kidding? Does this look like a joke to you?" Liv said to Owen.

"No..no..fine. I accept." Owen glared at dudeman.

"Truth or dare, Owen?"

"Dare," Owen said confidently. 

Vivian turned to Dudeman kidnapper person. "Instead of randomly calling you "Dudeman" which is really weird, and let's be honest, really awkward to say, is there something we can actually refer to you as? Y'know, just as a general courtesy."

"Yeah what's your name?" Aimee asks.

"My code name is Cipher," he informed them, crossing his legs. "And I wouldn't care less if you called me Dudeman. Sounds cool and dudeman-y."

"But if not, Dudeman is a nice alternative," Jax added quickly.

Vivian scrunched up their nose. "Ew. Yeah, no Dudeman is way better."

"Owen, I dare you to give Jax a massage for five minutes," Liv said with a smirk.

Owen sighs dramatically and moves over to Jax...

Adir watched with shock as he rather aggressively 'massages' Jax aka basically punches him in the back.

"The fluff was that for?" Jax yelled, turning around to glare at Owen.

"My line is famous!" Noah gloated. "Yo, Dudeman, Google 'how to deal with fame.'"

"How was your massage, J?" Owen asked with a smug smirk. 

Aimee rolls her eyes and says, "I want to go now." 

Owen said, "Okay, Aimee. Truth or Dare?"

Dudeman sipped his tea. "Rah, this tea is gro- THAT'S NOT FUNNY!"

A savage-looking toddler appears around Dudemans legs, giggling wildly.

"DID YOU RIG MY TEA WITH CHOCOLATE!? TEA IS NOT MEANT TO BE DRUNK WITH CHOCOLATE!"

"Dare." Aimee says immediately.

"I dare you to be someone's pet for five minutes," Alex said.

"Pet?" Aimee asks with her nose scrunched up.

Yes, pet. Did I stutter?" Alex said.

The little boy giggled and hugged Cipher's leg. "Eliiiiiiiiii, why won't you go down with the other onessss?"

"Shut up, you little vermin, that's not my name!" It was totally his name.

Andre gasped. "So we have a name, guys! It's Eli."

"It's Dudeman," Dudeman said.

Vivian heard and held back laughter. "Eli?"

"Nah, it's Eli," Andre grinned wickedly. 

"Eli?" Sebastian asked.

Aimee scowls at Alex, "Fine." she says but had no idea what that meant, "Who though?" she asks. 

"Anyone's. Pick" He said.

Aimee frowns and crossed her arms, 

"I vote Jax," Dudeman pitched in, trying to keep the toddler away from the control panel to prevent them both from crashing down with the kidnapped kids.

"Never mind, how about Owen?"

The toddler literally sat on the control panel and Eli started heroically screaming as they dropped from the ceiling.

The toddler just giggled.

"So, I'm guessing you aren't fazed by the fact that Dud- Eli has kidnapped us all?" Liv asked Dixon.

Dixon shrugs, "Does it look like I am?" he asks but his eyes were analyzing everything happening. 

Eli dropped to the floor in a ~ninja position~The toddler chewed on his black shirt while laughing, and he cussed.

what is this?? Sorry, not part of the story, continuing on:

Aimee shrieks and moves out of the way to avoid getting hit by a falling dudeman. 

Dixon's expression doesn't change, "Mhm." he says.

Aimee frowns, "Can I just finish my dare, Eli? Whose pet am I?" she asks exasperatedly.

"I. Am. Not. Eli," Eli said, adding claps for every word and adjusting his mask. 

"Anyone! You want me to pick? Fine." Alex says

"You sure about that, Eli?" Vivian walked over and pointed to the child. "Because according to Mini Dudeman there, you are Eli." 

"You're definitely Eli. Isn't it not nice if you call someone else a name that isn't theirs?" Andre asked.

"I'm sure about that, childe," he said, trying to be annoying.

"Eli is a nice name," Owen commented. 

"I prefer Dudeman," he said. "Like I said, sounds cool and dudeman-y."

Vivian sighed. "Childe? Again?"

"Yes, smol childe," he said, pinching their cheek. "Such a sMoL cHiLdE."

Vivian swatted Eli's hand away. "Hands off."

Liv shook her head and (tried to) shut herself out from everyone else, ready to stay quiet until someone made her take a turn.

"No, no, no." Andre shook his head violently like a toddler. "You're Eli, and that's it. No further questions. Got it?" 

"I can skin you alive but I'd rather not because I want to see you with that one," Eli said to Andre, jabbing a thumb at Seb.

"Wait, what?" Andre was confused, because #ProtectTheCinnamonRolls.

Aimee scowls, "Who the heck am I doing the dare for?!" she says very exasperatedly.

"Be Andre's, you wanted me to pick," Alex said

"Wait, Aimee's going be my what?" Andre asked, bewildered.

"Your pet, am I stuttering people? Is that what's happening?" 

Aimee scowls and just goes to sit by Andre unsure if she needed to actually do anything.

"Who's next?" Alex asks.

"Um...should I?" Andre asked, timidly raising his hand.

"Sure" Alex said. "Truth or dare?"

"Dare," Andre answers quickly. 

"Hmm. . . I guess I could go easy on you. Argue with the ground and pretend it's responding" Alex said.

"I- Um, okay then."

He then proceeded to argue with the floor about how cinnamon rolls were underrated.

"I'll go now!" Alex said enthusiastically. "Give me a truth,"

Liv eyed him curiously. This sudden change of behaviour from Alex was quite strange..

Soryn spoke up. "Do you sleep with a stuffed animal?" Xe asked.

"No I don't. Not a very good truth" Alex said.

Xe threw xyr hands up. "You're the one who asked!"

Alex sighed. "Whatever. I'll just continue being the one to give dares and truths. Who's next?" 

Cali quietly asked, "Can I go next?"

"Sure, truth or dare?"

"Truth." she said.

"Who's the sexiest person in this room in your opinion?"

Liv whistled. Now, that was a good truth. Dixon looks down at Liv and sighs just a bit, he bends down, gently sitting her up so he could sit down and place her head on his lap because it's cOmFiEr than the floor. Liv smiled at him. Maybe, just maybe, this game wasn't so terrible.

🅾🆆🅴🅽

"🅷🅼🅼..." 🅲🅰🅻🅸 🆃🅷🅾🆄🅶🅷🆃 🅰🅱🅾🆄🆃 🅸🆃. "I don't know. I don't know anyone here," she said.

"Sexiest person. Not the person you like" Alex reminded her, an evil glint in his eyes. 

"I know." Cali said.

"You don't think anyone here is sexy? Just because you don't know them? People can look sexy even if you don't know them y'know." 

"Maybe Tristan or Soryn" she said.

Owen looked at her, baffled. That was not the answer he had expected. Owen was slightly insulted that she hadn't noticed how sexy he was- also slightly worried she might need glasses.

Alex smirked. "Right. Now, who's next?"

"I'll go," Soryn suggested nonchalantly.

"Truth or dare?"

"Tru- wait, no, dare." Soryn smoothed xyr alien graphic tee.

"Hmm. . . close your eyes, sit on someone's lap and guess who it is." Alex said running out of dares. 

Xe choked on xyr coffee. "Excuse me?" 

"You heard me."

Soryn pursed xyr lips and stood up, closing xyr eyes.

Soryn stumbled over in AdA's DiReCtIoN. Soryn semi-fell onto Ada, looking very undignified and done with everything. 

"So, who is it?" Cali asked. Owen was laughing in his head.

"I don't know. I'm assuming one of the girls." You could hear the annoyance in xyr voice.

Ada closed her eyes and took a breath. "Shut. Up."

"What girl?" Alex asked

"Pretty sure it's Ada or Cali." Soryn gritted xyr teeth.

Ada sighed and stood up. Alex clapped obnoxiously. "Congratulations!" He said.

Soryn got dumped onto the ground. "Ow, thanks." Xe muttered.

Ada glared at Alex for a moment. "Kill me now. Please." 

Alex smiled."Who goes next?"

"S t o p s t a r i n g ," Dudeman repeated to Aimee. "I don't want to wear a second mask, the first one's already stuffy."

Aimee rolls her eyes.

Liv's face was on fire from being caught sleeping on Dixon's lap, but she ignored that too. "I can go next."

"Ah, good. Truth or dare?"

"Truth," Liv said.

Dudeman frowned through his mask and took off his hood. Turned out that he had tousled black hair, kinda like Noah's. "This better be a good one," he complained. "You guys are [redacted] boring."

"Who do you want to make out with the most?"

"I heard the bell of tea time ringing," Talia murmured.

"Tea timeeee!" Tristan squealed. "Wait, what does that mean again?"

"It means you get to drink tea, I think-" Adir commented.

"I think it's where someone answers something juicy. But I could be wrong," she told Tristan.

 Liv's eyes widened, before looking around the group. Her eyes casually skipped over Dixon before she shook her head and pointed at him.

"Great now someone give me a good dare." Alex said..almost giddily?

"Uhhh..." Noah said helpfully to Alex.

"Oh, what about you have to belly dance like your life depended on it." Cali said, grinning wickedly.

Alex blinked for once since he started playing he was speechless. "Uhhhh uhmmmmmm uhhhh"

"Not so fun now, is it?" Liv said to Alex.

Alex scowled. But he wouldn't not do a dare. He did it grudgingly as he scowled and prepared payback.

Alex's family was having a laugh and Alex tugged on his sleeve when he was done. 

Soryn had a large, amused smile on xyr face.

"Who's going now?" Alex said

Noah giggled smugly as he watched. "What a wonderful belly dancer!" he said innocently.

"I'll go next!" Cali offered, "Uhmm, lets do truth because i dont want anything gross." she explained

"Name the most attractive thing about everyone in this room- you don't have to do me though since I know that would be impossible." his parents looked smug like told you so and his siblings started mouthing words and looking mad.

Tristan's mom started banging furiously on the sides of her cage, and Tristan waved up at her with tears in his eyes, completely unaware that she was really just feeling overprotective.

"Okay... well Soryn's hair, Tristans personality and face, uhmmm.." Cali trailed off.

Dudeman existed. "Y'all are boring as [insert curse subsitute for Underworld here]."

Aimee rolls her eyes, "Someone do something interesting." she says.

Liv looked out from her hands and glared at Dudeman, "Maybe you should've thought that through before kidnapping us."

"Uhm Talia's hair color... Noah's style..." Cali continued.

"Huh, same to you, Dudeman." Andre couldn't help it, the name brought a smile and a slipped chuckle on his part. 

"Uhm Soryn's eyepatch.... and everyone else's style." she finishes.

"Yeah, maybe I shoulda picked some people that know how to play good games," Dudeman agreed.

🅽🅾🅰🅷

🅰🅽🅳🆁🅴 🅶🅰🆂🅿🅴🅳 🅳🆁🅰🅼🅰🆃🅸🅲🅰🅻🅻🆈. "🆆🅴'🆁🅴 🅶🅾🅾🅳 🅰🆃 🅿🅻🅰🆈🅸🅽🅶 🅶🅰🅼🅴🆂! And this is a good game! We're just....we're strangers, so we don't know each other well yet."

Aimee rolls her eyes, "I know exactly how to play, these people are just boring," She says gesturing to Alex and Noah and such.

"Like me," Jax suggested. "I'm great at truth or dare."

Noah gasped innocently. "I am not boringgg!"

"I could offer up a truth or dare," Dudeman offered, smirking through his mask. "Although I don't think any of you are uP tO iT."

"Well you are the one who literally kidnapped us and our families," Liv said harshly to Dudeman.

"Ah, yes, I can indeed take credit for that shenanigan," Dudeman said smugly.

"I'll do a dare," Aimee says confidently.

"Call a random number and act like they're you're crush. I didn't confiscate your phone," Eli added.

Aimee looked unimpressed with this but she pulls out her phone and dials a random number.

The pizza guy at Dominoes picked up the phone. "Hello, what's your order?"

Aimee rolls her eyes, "Hi Dominic! I just wanted to say I've had a crush on you forever."

"Who the [redacted] is Dominic? Hey, just cause I work at Dominoes doesn't mean-"

"I'm going easy on her," Dudeman informed her. "This is entertaining anyways."

Aimee rolls her eyes, "Oh please, I don't care where you work. This relationship is over, it's not me it's you." she says and hangs up with a smirk, "That all you got?" she asks dudeman practically asking for worse.

"Next!" Noah said. "That was boring."

"I'll go," Talia said. 

"Truth or Dare?" Tristan asked a bit smugly.

Talia flushed. "Dare,"

"Pick the three people you feel most attracted to in this room right now and have them do a rock paper scissors tournament. Winner kisses you. On the lips," Dudeman suggested.

Talia blushed. "Ahm,"

"Umm Dixon, Tristan, and uh Owen?" Talia continues.

Aimee and Liv both scowled slightly when they heard the first and last names. Owen smiled at that.

Tristan immediately took out his left hand for rock-paper-scissors. "Game time, mah dudes!"

Dixon's expression doesn't change and he sticks out his hands for rock-paper-scissors.

Owen put out his hand too- but he didn't intend to even try. Talia was pretty...but. There was Aimee.

"Les goooo," Tristan exclaimed. "Three, two, one, gooo!"

Dixon won, and Talia blushed slightly as he pecked her noticeably quickly on the lips. 

"T or D, anyone? And don't even think of roping me into this," Eli added.

Jax volunteered again. "Betcha can't come up with anything worse that I've done in any other game of T or D."

Aimee smiles, "Make it good." she told Dudeman.

"For Aimee, make out with the person you hate the most right now for 30 seconds. I'll time it," Dudeman said.

"Wait, Dudeman. I think she would hate you the most." Cali said, looking confused.

Aimee rolls her eyes at Dudeman, "Well I suppose the guy who kidnapped me." 

Owen officially hated this dare.

"Second most hated," he said very quickly, changing his mind.

"Too late," Aimee says.

"A dare is a dare. Who's the second most hated person?"

Aimee scowls and looks around the room. "Got your timer?" Aimee asks him.

"Yep," he said. "You picked yet?"

"Yep." Aimee says.

"Okay, starting now." He started the timer and peeled up the part of his mask to breath easier. Aimee scowls just slightly before leaning over and kissing him, her eyes squeezed shut.

Owen not only hated this dare now, he despised it with a burning passion. he also despised Eli with a burning passion.

He dropped the timer. "MMPH- WHTHE[REDACTED]-"

Aimee didn't pull away only because if she didn't do this she was afraid of what would happen to her sister. Or at least that was what Owen told himself.

Dudeman grunted and tried to push her away.

"Hey! If I don't do this you'll do something to my sister." she growls.

"You asked for it, dudeman." Talia said.

As Aimee pulled away, Owen put another thing on the list of things he should do, right next to 'escape this place':
