[Lysander - Anything goes]
Lysander seemed set on taking the Roswell thing as far as he could and was only irritated further as the other man brought up his beliefs in a flippant dismissive way.
"I have really stupid coloured hair." he said. "And I'm so vain that I'd notice even a little hair out of place and spend like, five million hours putting it back in place. I like doing laundry and picking clothes and I probably should have been born a woman!" he tossed his hair a little and rolled his eyes.
"And don't even talk to /me/ about reigns. I could tell you some things about them.I really don't work for nothing, you know."
[Fred - Anything goes]
Fred wasn't all that good at disguising sharp shifts in emotion and though he'd managed it valiantly while watching Lysander claim to be his brother, he couldn't really maintain it as Roswell responded, not with the acerbic wit and bite he'd been fully expecting but with a far softer and more affectionate retort instead.
His smile, for the first time in ages faltered and he found himself frowning instead, feeling darker than usual about how utterly blind Roswell was to the other man who didn't appreciate him even a fraction of what he deserved.
He couldn't let it last long though and quickly tore his attention away from the source of anger to something happier, laughing at the owl that decided to fly over to Roswell at that moment.
Even if he didn't really feel the laugh all that much.

Soleil (anything)
Nash stared at Soleil in simultaneous admiration and suspicion. "That doesn't sound like Dinah, but then again, she might be into hot chicks with pretty hair," he said, because, well. It was true. Dinah didn't like him, but that was because his name was November Nash Flynn.
He grinned at the dare, giving Soleil a mock salute.
"As you wish," he intoned, then sidled over to Tzei, arms opening in a welcoming gesture.
"I've been instructed to be your footstool for the next ten minutes, hot stuff."

Melvin (anything)
He'd almost forgotten he'd told Melvin to go get himself a crown, and now he was back, Soleil's lacy black bra wrapped around his head. Nash arched his brows at him and said, "Nice. I like the little straps, makes for a nice touch overall."
The tone was teasing, but he could see Melvin's gaze flickering around the room, looking vaguely irritated, or maybe Nash was overthinking it. He shrugged, slinging an arm around Melvin's shoulder and leaning in to press a quick kiss to his lips before dropping his arm again, a wicked grin on his face.
"As mean as you want."

Merric (anything)
Merric had not intended to do anything that evening besides relax; except that he'd heard a familiar voice from the dormitory common area as he'd passed it, and had immediately and instinctively backtracked to peer inside, brows furrowing together.
He wasn't sure what he had expected, but it was most definitely not Lysander and Roswell up on tables. Or an owl that he belatedly realized was possibly the doctor. Or really, everyone else.
"Lysander, Roswell," he said, stepping over to them and offering both a tentative smile. "Good evening. Ah...what's happening here..? Is this another one of those dare things..?"

Melvin - Anything GoesMelvin smiled back, pleased with the kiss and even more with the permission to let loose with the dares. Considering who was here, he had a few ideas.
Adjusting his slipping crown, he looked over at Rodney. "Rodney.." He called out, not even hiding that he was targeting him. "...I dare you to french kiss someone for one minute."
Married men in a dare party should know better.

[ Zeke - Anything ]Oh, he hadn't missed how very scandalized Hikaru had looked after that last parting comment, but the blush looked to have gone down considerably in the time it'd taken Roswell to mark his neck. It was still faintly there, a soft, pinkish tinge touching at the curves of her cheeks, but she certainly wasn't beat red anymore. which was good, really. His aim had been to tease, not to upset. The smile she flashed him as he'd reclaimed the seat beside him let him know he hadn't quite reached that line yet. Good. "Well enough. I'm definitely not one to shy away from a bit of attention." Well, Not often. It would depend on who was offering it, he supposed, because there were those on the island he didn't care to give the time of the day to, let alone much else.

Roswell - anything goes
Roswell tried to delicately arrange said owl away from...the delicate parts of him that it was gravitating towards.
"Whose owl is this!" he asked desperately.
He didn't receive help from Lysander, and felt a prickle of shame at the back of his neck as the impression continued, this time with a vicious edge.
"That's...that's really uncalled for," he said. "And...you are compensating my time. You've always been fair about pay. It's...it's the organization, that's withholding- Merric," He looked up pleadingly at the other man, "will you help me with this stupid owl?"
He was trying not to have his feelings hurt, but of course, they were.
Rodney - anything goes
Rodney gave Melvin a pained smile. "I'm...not going to do that, Melvin. I'm um...I'm turning that one down. I"m- just here with Mik for fun, even though it's turned into kind of...a mixer."
He tapped his knee nervously, averting his eyes.
"But...I'll dare you back. Find someone here you...like, and...tell them why."

[Lysander - Anything goes]
Lysander gave Merric a haughty look and said. "I am Roswell."
However the actual Roswell seemed a bit upset and attacked by a tiny flapping bird. Lysander didn't get why he was so annoyed or whiny about it, just because he wasn't complimenting his calves and stuff over here.
Stepping off the table he went back to his chair.
"And no one pays me enough to get attacked by..."
And then something seemed to click in his brain. A thought which though slow at first finally slid into place.
"That's not an owl!" he said. "That's that old guy! He ate a mouse!"

[Mikael - Anything]
Mik had been in the middle of sizing up everyone in the room to see who was the hottest to lasso when he heard what Lysander said and stopped dead in his tracks, his expression falling immediately.
Not an owl. That old guy.
There was a moment of teetering uncertainty and denial and he finally surrendered to it. He'd been lied to. Again. Again again again. It hadn't been his friend the owl, it hadn't been someone who cared about him, it had just been another scam from Lawrence, probably to get close to him without the work involved.
His expression dropped and he took the bowl from his head, no longer in the mood for the cowboy dare and forfeiting it.
Instead he crossed the room at a very brisk walk and he seized the owl very hard right out of Roswells lap and held it at arms length where it flapped and screeched in distress.
"You LIAR." he said. "YOU LIAR."

Rodney - Anything goes
"Mik. Mik!" Rodney said, voice rising for once to a normal tone instead of a whisper, and he crossed the room too, but stopping short of grabbing Tweetheart, afraid of being rough with either of them. His hand lit on Mikael's arm. "He- he just wanted to be here with...with the rest of the family, to support you-"
Roswell - Anything goes
Roswell looked disturbed.
"Old man?" He asked. "It's a bird, obviously, it- nevermind, I'm just going to stop questioning things around here. How can birds lie? No, no, I'm going to let it go."

[Mik ]
Mikael however didn't want to hear anything either of them had to say, aware that if Rodney knew the whole time that meant that both of them had been lying to him.
"You knew." he said, giving Rodney a look that was on the brink of angry tears. "You knew too and you let him do it!"
He shook the owl and it made another sound of distress. "Put me down!" it finally said in a voice not immediately recognisable as Lawrence.
"I'll put you down all right." he said angrily and lobbed the owl at the far wall with startling force, it hit the wall and fell to the floor behind one of the couches.
There was a more human sounding groan from behind it.
Mikael twisted away from Rodney and headed to the door. "I'm going to see Malkam and don't any of you two liars follow me." he said jabbing a finger at Rodney and where he'd thrown Lawrence and storming out.

Rodney - Anything goes
Rodney took a sudden, terrified step back at the sudden and deliberate violence, looking at Mikael with what the first time was real and true fear.
His voice was stuck in his throat, and shaking.
Everything felt dizzy and frozen. Why now? He'd been working on it, building his courage, not collapsing when things got violent and that dark voice in the back of his head said after all, that's what family really was, wasn't it?
Dead, the thought whirled around in his head, maybe he was dead-
There was a groan.
He tried to shake the paralysis from his limbs, the fear that seemed to live in his heart and shiver up and down every part of him.
"L-Lawrence," he croaked, too out of it to keep the secret for anyone else, clutching his own shirt and stumbling towards the couch.

[Lawrence - Playing the game now I guess]
Lawrence lay on the floor for a bit while his senses reoriented. There had been a lot of shouting, something which was incredibly painful to owl ears, followed by a bit of being airborne in the entirely wrong way, along with a lot of sharp pain as he hit the wall.
It always disoriented him as his senses went from owl to human and this time it was enough to leave him a bit nauseous. When things stopped spinning, he rolled onto his side and gave Rodney a sidelong glance.
"I'm fine." he said.
But he wished a pox on Lysander.

[Hika - Anything Goes] - 2 Dares complete Hikaru smiled a little at his words, her head tilting some as she thought about it. "Mmm you enjoy it, do you?" She said, with a soft chuckle, her eyes glittering a little in her amusement. She was definitely relaxing now, not so unnerved, and just getting her mental feet back under her. She had been about to say more, when the dramatis personae began, and then the Owl... Really, WHY was there an owl in here?... Flew across the room. And then shouting about an old man, and then the one who had been with the Owl yelled about lying, and THREW the owl... who had spoken? Hika's jaw was dropped far enough that it felt like it was STUCK that way, because this was insane. And then the lad stormed out. Finally, she said "What... what the ******** just happened?" She turned to look at Zeke, eyes stunned and baffled.

Melvin - Anything Goes
Melvin had done nothing. Doing anything would incriminate him as also knowing and making Mik angry with him. He instead turned to Nash, before he tensed as Mik grabbed the owl and started to shake it. Lawr loved his family, but Melvin knew he wouldn't allow himself to die either. Even still, the way he was tossed made him jump, but the groan said he was alive.
Rodney went, and Mik left. It was sad to think that he couldn't enjoy a dare night for once. At least this time it wasn't him, and he felt a sort of sick pride in that.
What had him worried was how Mik might receive Self now that he knew Lawr was a owl. Would he try and kill him too to find the answer of who he was?
Melvin turned to wait for Nash to come back, waiting to do the dare Rodney gave him.
