"Beer." Ian said to the pretty man - Vasile he had said his name was. He was still reeling from what Ambrose had mentioned...Truth or Dare.
C'mon, it can't be all that bad. The voice told him. It happened a long time ago. Get over it. Ian flushed red at the voice but refrained from mentally replying. Instead he voiced a comment. "Truth or Dare huh....." he swallowed and supressed a grimace. "I've played it....once."
Yeah, nice one. the voice snorted. You have about as much tact as a bent arrow, no wonder you scare people Ian scowled and his shoulders hunched involuntarily. Upon catching that he straightened up and forced a smile noticing Hargun's snort at his comment to her. He understood what it was like to be in a bad mood, the gods knew he'd had enough of them in high school.

Ambrose thanked Vasile for the Margarita and settled back into the barstool, taking a pondering pull from the cup.
"You look plenty nice, Greer" Ambrose commented in regard to her outfit, then grinned. "Nicer than I would in it, I assure you." He teased.
"And I'm not sure, they might be. I say we go ahead and get started and let what happens happens."
He lifted his glass to the rest of the group that had assembled around the bar. "Today... today we try not to worry about the obvious problems." He said with determination. "We're going to be here a damn long time, so we might as well get to know eachother better, and, well, learn how to have fun." He announced, unconsciously thinking back to Angelina... this is the sort of thing she would have suggested, and so, in her homage... here we go.
He turned to Vasile with a wry smile. "SO... let's get this party rolling.... Truth or Dare, Vasile?"

Vasile did his best to fill the drink orders, finally making something tall and fruity for himself. He took a long sip from a curly straw before looking up to Ambrose. "Oh, what the hell. I'll start with a truth. I'm not liquered up enough yet to go streaking down the beach or anything."

Ambrose couldn't help but laugh at that picture. "Aww, I wouldnt' start with something nearly that bold, but I'm sure you might have given plenty of people ideas" He winked.
He leaned as far back as was possible in a chair without a back and rolled his eyes up in thought. Might as well start with something relatively "Let's see..... Vasile... out of the women that you've met on the Island... why don't you rate them - as far as your interest level" He smirked, putting him on the spot.

Vasile leaned forward on the bar. "Well lets see...."
He thought for a moment. "Cass gets a ten. I want to know more about the exotic beauty. Then after that would be Queen Karma. Beautiful woman she is. Maybe an 8? Other than that I've met that doctor woman. Maybe a four? She's not really my, uh... type."
He looked around the group. "From first impressions I would give you," he said to Hargun, "a five because thats good enough to want to know more, but I don't know anything abuot you." Then he turned towards Greer. "As for you, my beautiful bug," he said as he slid the Grasshopper over to her. "I would have to say zero, because I personally know two" Vasile gave a not-no-subtle look to Ambrose, "guys who might personally want to see my bodily injured if I overstepped my bounds." He winked at her.
"Well then," he said, clapping his hands together. "Greer! Truth or Dare?"

A MASSIVE blush rose to Ambrose's cheeks at Vasile's not-so-subtle comment about Greer, and he stuck his nose into his drink, taking a biiiig swallow.

Greer rolled her eyes at Vasile's pronouncement, casting Ambrose a questioning glance. Mr. Pretty Boy had his messages crossed if he thought her friend had any interest like that in her... didn't he?
Leaving that issue for another day, she downed some of her drink and debated her answer. "Truth, I suppose."

Vasile snapped his fingers, hoping for a dare. "Truth, hmm..." He tapped his chin, thinking. "What's your favorite thing to do here on the island?" he asked. Greer seemed like the kind of girl who wouldn't say something trite like "make out with my boyfriend." At least, he really hoped she wouldn't say that. That would kind of backfired on him. He was hoping she might mention the fencing, to point out how similar her and Ambrose where. He took a long drink. Here's hoping I don't regret that one..

She blinked, honestly suprised at such a tame question. Hmm. Perhaps Vasile wasn't so irksome after all, not that she was entirely sure why he rubbed her the wrong way.
"My favorite thing? A tie between chasing bugs and spending time with my friends I suppose. Half my old life, half my new." She smiled at Ambrose and Hargun, making it clear she was happy to have them. Now, who to drag in to all of this?
"Ian, truth or dare?"

Pyroth thanked Vasile for the drink and casually sat back to sip it while listening to the game as it progressed. He hadn't even guessed that relationships would already be flourishing amongst the residents, that thought at least was heartening, people were moving on. It had been a long time since he last had a decently strong drink and his body had little to no resistance to the chemical. It was nice to have a little fuzziness there in his head and he relaxed a little, just letting the conversations seem to slosh around him.
Maybe he would learn a little about the inhabitants he didn't know yet.

Ian flinched as Greer asked him truth or dare. If he chose dare, it might be a repeat of his sophomore year, if he said truth he mihgt have to also relive his sophomore year. Taking a long swallow of his beer he finally decided. "Truth"

Getting through almost a full half of her drink, she frowned and tried to figure out what to ask him. Hopefully his answer wouldn't be creepy. "Are you having a good time on the island, why or why not?"

Ambrose scuffed his foot along the wood of the bar under the counter as he watched Greer. Well... that answer was ... well... not all that surprising, except for the fact that she was regarding socializing almost as high as bug hunting... fencing wasn't mentioned... but then again, Ambrose did know that bugs came first to her above that. But, on the positive note, she hadn't specified hanging out with The Dude.
He smiled and nursed his margarite as the game progressed.

At this moment (whether inopportune or not) The Dude walked into the Beach bar, waving at everyone. He looked sleepy and dishevelled and predicatbly, appologized for being late cuz he fell asleep. He walked over to a seat next to Greer and sat down. If there was an open seat next to Greer that is.
"So what game are we playing here?" - he grinned. But listening in he ralized it was Truth or Dare, so he walked over to the bar and made himself a White Russian. then he plopped back onto his chair,
He was specifically not hanging on Greer, b/c he figured if she'd care to, she do it herself. And he didn't want to embarass her unnecessarily.
((sorry just arrived, i am gonna go read back now.
EDIT: Oh, not much has happend! Kickass ^_^))

Ian stared at his beerfor a long moment before replying. "Yes, actually. Here I can have time to myself, and I've made a few friends." He paused wondering if he should add the last bit he was thinking. "I am even okay with becoming like an animal. I've had time to think, and I've discovered that there is a part of me that has wanted to be an animal. That part of me is also history obsessed - more specifically with the druids. Turning into an animal is almost like a certain druidic ceremony."
Now what had made him say all that. They didn't need to know about that part of him - but they were his friends and he would be on the island with them for the rest of his life. There couldn't be that many secrets he could keep. "Umm.....Hargun, truth or dare...."
