This is a continuation of the Spin The Bottle RP, and Spin the Bottle- Part 2, Spin the Bottle- Part 3, Spin the Bottle- Part 4; we will be picking up from where we left off there. This RP is following the Apollo Justice timeline, a few months after the final case. The gauntlet of this RPs GMing has been now passed on to me, and I hope to keep this RP rolling past its 1 year mark in July! With the Adult Spin the bottle game also, all new members can chose to have both a young and an older character to participate in two RPs at once!

There's no limit to how many characters you can play, just this- Don't take on more than you can handle, and BRING DRAMA!


POSTING GUIDELINES

► Follow forum rules and regulations. This rule is absolute.
► No godmodding. This means don't control another person's character without their permission. But exceptions will be given in certain unavoidable situations.
► Use double parenthesis when talking in OOC (Double brackets like (( )) ). Actually, any format will do, so long as we are able to tell that you're talking in OOC.
► Post with substance. This means when you post make it so that the others will be given something to go on as much as possible. Keep one-liners to a minimum.
► If you're going to leave for a fairly long period of time (MORE than a week), let us know beforehand. It's so we'll be able to plan ahead and make necessary adjustments if needed. Which brings us to...
► If you disappear for a week without a word, we reserve the right to mod your characters as necessary. This is to keep things moving along. So if you're going to be away for some time please let us know!
► Do your best to keep up with what's going on. I know that not everyone checks back every other hour of the day, but at least make an effort to read what your fellow RPers have written. Giving a recap every time is tiring and a bit insulting to the active RPers; writing posts do take some time and effort after all.
► Pairings have to be approved by both parties before they can be carried out. For example you're playing Phoenix and another RPer is playing Maya. Discuss it with them first if they're okay with the pairing before doing anything suggestive.
► HAVE FUN. IF you're not having fun, tell me and I'll fix it right up. I don't want to see people idling unnessecarily.



SPIN THE BOTTLE MECHANICS

It was original going to be just one group playing, but since family members were involved we decided to split the game into two; the younger group comprised of mostly teenagers will be playing spin the bottle, while the older group comprised of mostly adults will be playing truth or dare.





IMPORTANT POINTS IN THE RP (last updated 12/26/09)

Events

► The front door's frame was broken due to a break-in; it's in noticeably bad shape. You can swing it open without having to turn the handle. There is a scarey looking guy at the door however (Vaughan Daniels- his bio is just after the adults ones). If you tell him what you're there for and you're not suspicious looking he'll let you in.
► When you enter through the front door you'll pass through the living room before you can get to the kitchen, unless a person from the household leads you there via another route. Here's a map of the Wright residence.
► It's raining outside.
► Zeth's bright yellow Vespa is parked right outside Wright's house.
► More to be added later when we decide what is still canon

JOIN US!

Whether you sign up as a canon character or an original character, you must have a reason as to how they ended up there . Once you have that then you're free to join! Also, you're allowed to RP as more than one character as long as you can manage it.

Fill out this template and post it in OOC thread if you're interested. We love having new people around!




Note: I will be doing an activeness check from time to time via PM to inactive RPers. This is to see if people who signed up are still kicking and are still willing to participate in the RP. If you're not able to respond within a reasonable amount of time your characters will be reset, meaning we will go about the RP as if your character never entered the house OR one of us will RP them leaving. You can still sign up for them again if you want, but you will have to start from the beginning or pick up where the exit left off, whichever applies. I apologize in advance for this if it seems too harsh, but I feel it's necessary to keep the RP moving at a steady pace.

Yes I am SO excited to be Leann again! :D

---

Sweet- added Leann :) Do you want to play an adult too? That way, if Leann can't do anything, you have another character to have fun with.

---

Sure(:
Name: Audrey Lincolns
Age: 22
Appearance: Dark auburn hair put in a French braid, bright blue eyes, medium height and weight. She is wearing a dark grey dress with black ankle boots.
Personality: Audrey is very sophisticated and smart. She is a psychologist for a living so it is easy for her to read people. Working so much has allowed her social life to disappear so she isn't always very chatty. She also loves animals and has a very caring side to her.
Extra: Audrey is Leanns aunt, and they are very close. Leann had told her about the party.

---

Sweet- Updated Leann's aunt :)

---

When do we start?

---

How about you say who you're still playing first, hubby, and then I'll reply "When a few more people respond"? I've only had responces from 3 people. I'm not going to roll everything out and then find 5 new players pop up out of nowhere ;)

((Obligatory stalker post. Don't mind me... ))

---

Heheheh :D

---

...Might I be considered for joining these shenanigans?
(Haven't really decided on the character[s] to play, though.)

EDIT: Sorry, going to have to pass on this! It does sound like fun, though. I just don't think I'll have time to balance between this and another RP. (And admittingly, the recap didn't quite mesh with what I was hoping for.)

Sure can ^^ You can have characters in the kids or adults game, canon or non canon. Just tell me when you've decided who you want to be. Reserved characters have first dibs to whoever RPed them in the last thread. If the no longer want them then they're open.

---

Well, excuuuuuuse me, then. I'll still be playing Chris.

---

Thank you, hon ^^ I'll get the spins up in a couple of days- give the others a chance. Thursday NZ time- that's 2 more days to those not reapplied!

---

You guys have till I get home to enlist- I'm going to make the rolls tonight and after that, we're leaving you behind! Oh yeah, and all reserved characters will become open tonight if not taken by their owners in the previous thread too!

---

Screw it- the game has OFFICIALLY STARTED. If you want to play one of the reserved characters, feel free to. You wont have to enter the house cause they can just go off camera for a while for some private time. They can come back when they have a player :)

Official rulings to fix up last game:-

We can rule that the wedding didn't happen, unless Artie comes back. Kraus and Klavier have gone back to the kitchen. Vera was previously played in this game, so lets say she was having some quiet time drawing in the corner and decided it was time to join the group again :) Audrey will need to have a reason to arrive late. Maybe Leann needs a lift home after the party, but something made her come earlier? Just remember- the front door is broken, but it's guarded by a mean looking guard. If she is in the know of names of assassins for some reason, she'd know his name is Vaughan Daniels. He looks scary, but as long as you don't act shifty, he'll let you in. He's good at spotting shady people (She's not shady I take it? If she knows him I may need to make him apprehensive)



Please note- it'd be REALLY nice to RP someone actually talking to him rather than walking straight past him. Do interact. I'll RP Vaughan.

Remember guys- have fun. Tell me if you're lost for something to do, and don't stand still. You can wander around if you want! Drag Vaughan into a dare if you can. Pull pranks on the adults. What ever. Have fun. Who wants to get the ball rolling with a spin? Someone that's played the game before? The spins are up so have a look before you spin and see who you want your results to be :)

In character mode Activated from now on!

---

Audrey Lincolns quickly parked her car and started to run. She was supposed to attend this party with her niece Leann but she had a client run late. Audrey felt really bad about it, seeing as it was Leanns idea to go in the first place. She just decided that she would buy her a coffee later to make up for it. As she walked up to the house, Audrey noticed that the front door was broken. This party must be wild, she thought and kept walking. Upon getting up to the door, she noticed a menacing looking man who she assumed was a security guard of some sort. What if she couldn't get in? Well, she had to try if Leann was inside.
"Um..excuse me? Could I possibly go inside? My niece is in there. I have my I.d. if you need it." Audrey started fishing through her purse for her wallet. She could already tell it would be a long night.

(( if Artie isn't coming back, should i act like all that stuff between him and Leann never happened?))

---

((I don't know to be honest T.T Give it a week or two. IF he decides to rejoin before then cause maybe he missed this first week of enrolment for some reason then pick up where you left off as if he was in a bubble. Otherwise, I suggest moving on. People come and go in RPs. It's best not to get hung up on it :( Zeth has lost more than a few 'girlfriends' that way. Lol, funny saying that considering he isn't hooked up with his canon girlfriend in this RP even though she's in it ^^; ))

"Um..excuse me? Could I possibly go inside? My niece is in there. I have my I.d. if you need it."

The guard stood motionless for a long moment, his eyes completely shaded by the sunglasses covering his eyes. She was a pretty young lady, well dressed, but she seemed to be in rather a rush. Was she taking one of the girls home already? Finally lifting his hand to his face, he hooked his sunglasses with his index finger, and slid his aviators down his nose so he could peer at her over them. He gave Audrey an eye up and down before pushing his sunglasses back up his nose and smirking.

"The red head kid that just got here ten minutes ago?" He asked, noticing the genetic similarities between her and the girl that dashed in a little before then, "Yeah, sure. Wright's kid has a game in the lounge down on the right. She'll be kicking around there somewhere." Tilting his head around to glance at the door, he crossed his arms once more, "Wright has his own game going on in the back though. Probably more your speed than a bunch of teenagers." Pausing for a moment, he let out a quiet chuckle, "You may find a certain skunk haired man entertaining."

Stepping away from the door and opening it carefully, the guard motioned her in, still smirking, "Watch out for him. His eyes are as sharp as yours."

((I'll wait for Audrey to arrive. She can take the first spin if she wants. Zeth has skunk striped hair btw I should update his description actually. The game has reset so often since he wore the Feenie... ))

---

"Thank you so much." Audrey smiled at him and walked through the door and into the house. Her first goal was to find Leann, and then she would just go from there. Walking around the house she noticed all sorts of different people walking around. She was worried it might be hard to find her niece in this crowd. Not really knowing where she was going she eventually wandered into a room that surprisingly was not filled with teenagers. Audrey saw a bunch of adults that looked around her age. They looked to be playing some sort of game, and she secretly thought it might be fun to join. Leann would be fine on her own for a while. She needed to create a social life for herself. Seeing a man with skunk striped hair who looked like he was in the know, she walked up to him. "Hi, I'm Audrey Lincolns. Could I join in whatever game it is you're playing?"

---

Glancing towards the new comer as she entered the room, Zeth picked up the bottle, and spun it around his palm while everyone regathered their thoughts from the last dare. He hadn't seen this woman before. She got past the Dragon though, so she must've come across as innocent enough. The slightly lost look on her face was either a VERY good act, or the genuine product. Still, there was something about this woman that came across different. Sure, she came across as awkward, but it wasn't enough to hide a glint in her eye. Zeth wasn't entirely sure what it was, but as unuse to the situation as she was, she wasn't nervous at all. She seemed pretty confident in fact.

"Hi, I'm Audrey Lincolns. Could I join in whatever game it is you're playing?" The woman approached Zeth, the only person in the room currently paying attention to her. A wise choice of talking partners. Glancing down at the bottle in his hand, Zeth gave the bottle a toss in the air and caught it as it came back down.

"I see you've talked to the Dragon already then," Zeth replied, placing his free hand into his pocket, "Yeah, sure. We're just having a game of truth and dare. You're just in time for the next spin actually. Want to give the bottle a go?" Zeth hid a smirk as he offered the bottle. What could be a more perfect way to get to know a stranger better than a game which forces you to reveal a bit about yourself?

((Who wants to do the first roll in the teens game?))

---

Audrey was a bit taken aback. She didn't expect that she would be put into the game this fast. But that was what she wanted, right? Growing up, Audrey had never taken many risks or went to many parties. So, she thought to herself as she confidently grabbed the bottle, why not start now? She set it down and gave it a hard spin. As it was spinning, Audrey wondered who it would land on. She didn't even know the names of any of these people, yet she was playing truth or dare with them. Audrey secretly smiled to herself at the thought of her being so bold. The bottle slowly spun to a stop and landed pointing towards the man with the skunk striped hair. She didn't even know his name, but she was a bit excited to ask him truth or dare. He looked dangerous and very mysterious, and she liked that.
" Well, stranger, truth or dare?" she said with a confident smirk on her face.

(( I don't want to be the only one RPing but if no one else wants to do the teen spin I will.))

---

((Well, I'm hoping that since people put their names down for this RP that they'll start actually roleplaying :/ ))

Zeth watched the bottle petter to a stop, pointing to himself. He should've guessed that it'd point to him. He wondered if the bottle had some sort of affinity with him. He swore it spun him more often than anyone else. Not to be put off, Zeth linked his fingers behind his head turning to Audrey.

"The name is Gant. Zeth Gant." Zeth stated, adopting to half smile, "And you'll never get an honest truth out of me so don't bother trying. There's only one option... Dare."

---

Vera finished off her drawing that she's been drawing in a corner for a while. She saw that a new round (sort of thing) is beginning. She left the corner she was in when she was drawing and decided that it was time to join the game. She walked over to the circle slightly nervous.

"Can I join the game?" Vera asked in a nervous voice considering that this IS still quite new to her.

Last edited by Wright'sNo.1Fan on Tue Nov 15, 2011 8:20 am, edited 1 time in total.

"YES!" Cara squeeled, leaping up and grabbing Vera and tugging her to sit down beside her, "More players! This is going to be SO MUCH FUN. You! You need to spin first!" Cara pointed at the bottle with an ecstatic grin on her face, "And don't forget the dare! You flip a coin after the spin to see if you have to do a dare toooooo."

Darren's face dropped. Cara was enjoying this game far too much for his liking. It was draining watching her bounce about like that. Where on EARTH did that girl find all that energy?

---

Zeths confidence as he chose to take a dare was impressive. Audrey at first was thrilled that he let her play truth or dare with him, and she secretly thought he was kind of attractive. She had a thing for bad boys, but her brain told her it was always best not to get involved with them. It always led to trouble. Then she was stumped. Audrey honestly did not know what to dare him to do. In the effort of saving time, she said "Um.. I don't know if this is allowed, but does anyone want to help me pick a dare for Zeth?"


Leann Addington sat on the couch holding her cup of soda, lost in thought. This party was definitely new for her, and a lot of interesting things had happened. But even after all this time, she still was a total introvert. All she wanted to do was find Audrey and go home. But as usual Audrey was late to the party. Leann had no way of getting home unless she walked, and that idea was not very appealing. So she would just have to tough it out. It was a party so it shouldn't be too much torture. Right at that moment, a girl named Vera asked to join in the game. Leann had noticed her shy nature, and she felt like they could be friends. So she got up and put herself into the game.

---

Letting out a disappointed huff as Audrey gave up on deciding on a dare so quickly, Zeth's expression dropped to a lopsided one. What happened to all that confidence she had?

"Don't panic, Sugar," Sarah giggled from opposite the table, "It's not easy to come up with a dare immediately for a strange man." Leaving Kraus' side, Sarah walked around the table gracefully to Audrey, going in close to the woman as if to whisper a secret in her ear.

Resting her hands on Audrey's shoulder, Sarah glanced at Zeth with a sly smile.

"He's a bit of a cocky boy, isn't he?" Sarah asked Audrey, watching Zeth's reaction as she talked. Zeth's expression changed into a neutral expression as he watched Sarah talk. Smiling sweetly at his concerned look, Sarah leaned closer to Audrey's ear, "So, do you want to make him do something silly, or sexy?" Leaning back to Audrey's shoulder, Sarah grinned sneakily, "He's your puppet, Sugar." Giggling, Sarah glanced back to Zeth, who now stood there with his hands in his pockets. Sarah considered if this was a nervous pose, but it probably wasn't. She could only guess that he was putting on a game face cause he now took what ever dare she'd say seriously. Leaning back to Audrey, Sarah quickly added, "And he likes it when pretty women give him orders."

((Sorry so long. I figured it all needed to be done at once >.< ))

****************

Noticing Leann rejoining the group, Alex shifted aside to let her sit down in the circle. The game looked as tough for her as it was for him. HE wondered how long he had to stay here before he'd be able to sneak out without Darren giving him stick about it at practise the next day. Jerk. Why did he con himself into going to this party anyway?

---

Seeing the disappointed look on Zeths face upset her. She had wanted to impress him with her dare but she had frozen up. She was grateful for Sarahs help. She seemed like a nice enough person. Audrey knew she needed to bring back the confidence. " Sexy. Definitely sexy." she said loud enough so Zeth could hear her. Quietly on the side to Sarah she whispered, " But I don't want to make him feel uncomfortable or anything. I mean, I don't know what to say. Help please?" she smiled and tried not to seem so pathetic. Maybe this wasn't the best thing for her. She wasn't exactly breaking out of her shell like she had hoped. If things started to go south, she decided she would find Leann and just go.

---

Zeth's ears perked up at the word 'Sexy'. What on earth were they talking about? Crossing his arms, he felt frustration begin to boil up inside of him. Sarah was taunting him with how long this took. Darn her. This better be an interesting dare.

Sarah's eyes lit up slightly as Audrey responded with her intention. So, there was a slight interest in him after all.

"But I don't want to make him feel uncomfortable or anything. I mean, I don't know what to say. Help please?"

"That's the aim of the game, Sugar," Sarah replied, watching her face intently, "This is meant to push your comfort level. If you're worried about offending him though, don't." Sarah gave a wink, "He'd probably be more excited if it was more dangerous." Glancing around, Sarah looked thoughtful, "You could dare him to make out with The Dragon outside. That could be funny. Or you could get really sassy and dare him to get changed into just an apron." Sarah burst into a giggle, "How naughty are you feeling today?"

((Side note- there are ways of toning down a dare like this. As long as the rules for the dare don't make him any further compromised than just wearing one of Trucy's frilly aprons or something then it'll be OK. This is a PG13 forum. We're not going to get into great detail about the naughtier aspects of the dare so don't worry. There's alot we can do and still be in the rules of the website. I'll leave this up to you though, Beth. Zeth wont hold it against her. It takes more than that to rattle a card shark like Zeth ;) ))

---

"Oh my gosh that's perfect! You are a genius Sarah!" Audrey turned back around to face Zeth. It was finally time to give him the dare he had been waiting for. "Zeth, I dare you to wear one of Trucys aprons. And nothing else." After she said that she realized she must have sounded crude, so she went back on her statement. "Well, underwear is allowed of course..." She silently trailed off feeling a bit embarrassed about what she had dared him to do. It was so unlike her to be so bold and flirtatious with a guy. She got the impression that Sarah was very crazy and not afraid to speak her mind. Maybe she was rubbing off on Audrey? All she could do now was wait to see how Zeth would respond. Her face contorted into an awkward/nervous expression. The anticipation was killing her.

---

Zeth raised a brow at the dare. That was certainly imaginative. And not completely indecent either. A 'sexy' dare, was it? Is that what they meant? Zeth finally cracked a grin.

"Sure," Zeth said, "Why not? WARDROBE!" Clicking his fingers in Phoenix's general direction for action, Phoenix was sitting down casually on one of his kitchen table chairs, minding his own business with a bottle of 'Grape Juice' in his hand. Phoenix glanced up at Zeth with a bemused expression, "My audience needs me, Wrighto. My costume if you'd be so kind."

"Heh..." Phoenix snuffed a laugh, putting down the bottle, "Well, funnily enough, Trucy just started working at Tres Bien a little while ago and..." Glancing aside, Phoenix nodded towards a freshly cleaned and pressed apron and dress hanging on a coat rack on a nearby wall, "You have to clean it after you wear it though, Gant." Phoenix dipped his head and grinned, "I've already had one co-worker run off with my daughter's panties. I wouldn't like to think you'd have ideas about her apron."

"THAT was evidence," Zeth retort with an awkward expression as Phoenix got the apron, along with a tiny bonnet. Measuring the little apron against Zeth, Phoenix hummed.

"A bit short," Phoenix said analytically, "It's a good thing Trucy doesn't have to see this. She still has nightmares from the last time she caught you wearing her clothing."

"Objection," Zeth replied, snatching the apron off him, "It doesn't count if I was drunk."

"Oh, I miss all the good parties," Sarah sighed dramatically, "Just take it off, Sugar." Zeth smiled, giving a big shrug.

"All right," He said with a grin, pushing past the teasing hoards to get to Audrey, "But it's only because you asked for it." Putting his hands to the bottom of his shirt, Zeth pulled his teeshirt off, and chucked it to a lonely corner of the room. Un hooking his belt as he walked up to Audrey, he stood in front of her. Pulling his belt out, and flicking it behind his neck and holding it there, Zeth smirked, "So, you wanted a sexy dare, did you?"

---

((♥))

Kristoph had been watching events unfold with a cool gaze, a hint of an amused smile playing at the edges of his mouth as he followed the action with his eyes only. The game seemed to have steadily been degenerating into what could only be described as child-like sex games. It was amusing, yes, but he had indeed thought that that was meant to be the whole point of the teens' actual spin the bottle game next door. Not that he considered himself an expert on such matters anyway.

His relatively passive participation, if even that, had allowed Kristoph a chance at more contemplative thought, in any case. Not that it showed on his face, of course.

Looking up with a vague surprise as Phoenix got up to help Zeth put on his daughter's apron (honestly), Kristoph looked down to see that the tie which had been restricting them both had at some point come loose and fallen off. Stretching his leg out in front of him to relieve a slight tension which had built up, Kristoph observed the inside-out pants leg with a wry amusement. This game really was something, if a tad juvenile.

((Hey, Killy, do you think it would be okay if I dropped Ema and took up Klavier instead? ^^ It's just that I know his character and feel like I can RP (and would have a lot more fun with!) his character much better than that of Ema. :) ))

---

((I forgot about the inside out clothing. I thought it'd be better to start this RP fresh since the tie around the ankle happened so long ago. So, Phoenix and Kristoph still have each other's inside out clothing? XD That was a HILARIOUS dare! Yeah- I'll swap Klavier for Ema :) ))

---

Kraus watched the dare with interest. This wasn't the first time he happened upon a situation with Zeth stripping off in front of him, but there was a level of interest there in the woman that dared him that caught his interest. He wondered if this woman knew what she was getting herself into drawing the Skunk's attention. He was a dangerous man to have as an ally, let alone as a love interest. She was VERY unlikely to get more out of him than that. The Skunks level of dedication to a person directly related upon their ability to protect themselves from his world. Not something the mere commoner could manage. A little bit of social interaction never hurt anyone however. Perhaps he could gain something from a casual bit of flirting for once?

Glancing around, he noticed Kristoph sitting politely, observing the show with Phoenix Wright's dark blue suit on. Smiling slightly, Kraus could see the amusement of the situation. He was such a carefully dressed man normally. Seeing him like this was... entertaining. Walking over to him, Kraus smiled,

"Herr Gavin, I sense an extraordinarily mild amount of amusement coming from you," Kraus stated, fixing the creases of the inverted jacket on him, "I hoped this experience would be more enjoyable that home detention."

---

Betraying no surprise at Kraus' characteristic disregard for personal space, Kristoph looked up at him, quirking an eyebrow and smiling a trifle more genuinely. "Extraordinarily mild? I hear things of the same sentiment said about me frequently," he replied, automatically standing in order to be at Kraus' level due to manners. "But surely you know better than to assume that this 'sense' of amusement that you are getting truly betrays exactly the level of enjoyment that I truly derive from this experience."

"After all," he continued, folding his arms and raising his brows at Kraus and indicating his head in the direction of the living room. "I distinctly remember being rather entertained by the way that you seemed to be getting personally involved in teenage drama not too long ago, Mr. Kraus."

Kristoph was hardly being serious, of course. Kraus was a man who held a great deal of power over his reopened case, and time spent with him recently had revealed him to be perhaps even as secretive a man as Kristoph himself. It was an intriguing person to have involved in one such as Kristoph's affairs, to say the least.

---

Kraus chuckled before adopting a stunning smile. Yes, even when this man appeared 'mildly amused' by a situation, he still hid feelings far deeper inside of him. It took one to notice it in another. He wanted to be sure of the integrity of Kristoph's feelings. So often he had seen prison harden good men to the point that the world is twisted before their eyes. He didn't wish to see that happen to this man due to gang wars. It wasn't right that a good man should be dragged into such a dark world.

"Is that so?" Kraus replied cheerfully, "Well, marriage is very serious business, as I'm sure you'd understand." Kraus paused thoughtfully for a moment. There was probably no need to expand on that. Curiosity had gotten the better of him. He felt the need to fill in another gap in his childhood he had missed, "Children have such simple lives. It's... refreshing to watch their minds at work." Glancing aside thoughtfully, that was probably more information than he intended on letting out, but it was harmless enough. He could trust Kristoph. After all, his freedom was in his hands right now. He didn't want that to be a noose around his neck, but it was there netherless. No matter how relaxed Kraus could seem, Kristoph would likely never be fully comfortable around him till he was free. That was ok though. Most people treated him like that. Except Gant and Sarah.

Glancing back to Kristoph one again, Kraus composed himself once more.

"I see that you have kept very quiet this game netherless. Would you care to spin next?"

---

Audrey was stunned into silence by the boldness of Zeth. He was so willing to accept the dare and she kind of envied him for his amazing confidence. As he walked up to her and started to undress, Audrey couldn't help but get caught up in his abs. The guy was ripped, and even she would admit he was nice to look at. To be honest she didn't even think he would accept her dare. Now what to say? Zeth seemed like he liked people who were confident, so she thought she would try to act as such. " Defenitely. Sometimes a sexy dare can be the best kind." Her mouth spread into a confident grin and she looked him right in the eyes. Confidence is key if you want to befriend him, she told herself. She was trying her best not to break eye contact.

---

"Aw, do I have to go first? Can't you go instead? Pretty please?" Vera asked as she was pulled down by Cara to sit next to her.

"With cherry on top?" Vera tried again, hoping to be able to convince her.

((I'm not really sure how the spinning would work, could you please explain it, yeah, I should've asked sooner, sorry. :P ))

Taking note of how Kraus' expression had shifted from a dazzling smile to a contemplative one and then back to neutral in what was actually a relatively short space of time, Kristoph came to the abrupt conclusion that Kraus was very much like himself in this aspect; he had that strict control over how much he gave away that was characteristic of Kristoph himself, and he didn't think that he had ever met another who had such a command over it. It certainly made for a good sense of intrigue. Kristoph wasn't used to casual conversation with Kraus, and so this realisation was very interesting. 

He smiled wryly nodded in agreement to Kraus' comment about how refreshingly simple children's lives were. The comment reminded him of how refreshing he used to find Klavier. Even when Kristoph was about 16 years old, and everything was just beginning to fall apart, Klavier was always that unremittingly positive child that somehow made everything seem at least marginally better. 

"Would you care to spin next?"

Moving away from his thoughts, Kristoph chuckled and raised an eyebrow. "Would you care for me to?" Unfolding his arms, the ex-prisoner adopted a more relaxed smile. "I think that I shall, once Mr. Gant finishes his dare." He paused momentarily to observe the stages of said dare. "I would hate to be perceived to be antisocial, of course."

His arms draped across the back of the kitchen chair in which he was sitting, Klavier was pointedly not looking at Zeth as he teased the newcomer. It may have seemed odd, given how personally flirtatious he was, and how he likely would have been a LOT worse than Zeth if given the same dare.... but seeing Zeth do it was making him a little uncomfortable. 

As he let his eyes roam across the kitchen, he saw how his brother was engaged in a conversation with Kraus and thought nothing of it, his eyes moving onwards. They were probably discussing the case. Honestly... sometimes Kristoph had no sense of fun. 

Smiling to himself, the rockstar found his gaze finally coming to rest on Sarah. After having helped out the fräulein now currently being given a show by Zeth, she seemed to have just been standing on her own, which was hardly a situation in which any young woman should find herself. Rising, Klavier made his way over to her, slipping his thumbs into his pockets and giving her a charming half-smile. "Enjoying the show, fräulein?"

((DYING of laughter here XD ))

"Definitely. Sometimes a sexy dare can be the best kind." Audrey replied to Zeth's sassy comment. Zeth raised a brow and chuckled, casually throwing the belt over to his teeshirt.

"Well, just to be clear," Zeth started, slipping one arm into the apron, and then the other methodically before tying up the back of the apron, keeping eye contact with Audrey, "It wasn't part of the rules that I had to be sexy while I did this," Slipping his hands under the apron, Zeth unplucked his cargo pants button, and unzipped the fly, "But I was never too big on rules."

((I'll give Audrey the option of running and hiding here if you want since she seems pretty out of her comfort zone here. If she doesn't run then she has the option of doing something, or saying something to Zeth, or she can just wait in anticipation for what he's going to do... which I haven't thought of yet.)

((WNo1F- you have a choice of 3 predetermined spins. You chose a pair which Vera will spin. She has to kiss both of them. She also flips a coin to see if she does a dare, but that's up to you if you want Vera to do one by choice (calling the flip right and doing the dare by choice), be forced to do one (Calling the coin toss wrong and being forced to do one), or not do one voluntarily (Calling the flip correctly and opting out of the dare). Vera can go next though so you can see how it goes :) Sorry, I thought it'd be nice to get you right into the action but this is a fair call))

"Aaaaaaawe," Cara grumbled, crossing her arms, "Ok, but you're going to do the next spin! My turn!"

Grabbing the bottle, Cara gave it a flick and watched in delight as the bottle spun around in circles. Stumbling to a stop, the bottle rolled to point at Nadine. Flashing her eyes up at the girl who now hung off Darren's shoulder with alert eyes, Cara adopted a game face. Her. Why her of all people. IT took all her might to be friendly to everyone here. She could handle kissing Darren without going overboard but HER?! The one that got Darren?

Flicking the bottle once more, her eyes not leaving Nadine as the bottle spun, she barely noticed when the bottle stopped spinning before a coin tonked her on the head like a snackoo.

"The bottle, Cara," Alex reminded. Cara glanced towards Alex, noticing him motion to the bottle beside her. Looking at where it pointed, Cara stiffened up. That guy. That one that kissed her for absolutely no reason. What was his name? This was the worst spin ever. No, ever ever. There was no possibility of it going more wrong than wrong in the entirety of the universe and the solar system and...

"The coin flip, brain case," Grabbing Cara's hand and molding it into a coin flipping position, Alex gave her an impatient look, before slamming the coin on her hand, "Just flip the damn coin to see if you get a dare,"

"Ha... Heads!" Cara stammered, too frightened of her thoughts for the moment to let herself take her eyes off Alex's stern expression. His look made her think straight cause he was slightly scarier than the concept of kissing those two. Flicking the coin, it spun in the air a few times before landing solidly on the carpet.

"Tails," Alex corrected, giving Cara's forehead a jab with his finger, "You lose! Time for a dare too!"

"Uuuaaagh?" Cara huhed as Alex rejoined the circle, leaving her alone, "A dare?"

((Someone want to give Cara a dare? The guy in question is Christopher btw incase the point was missed))

***************************

"Of course," Kraus smiled, offering his hand to Kristoph, "The Skunk looks like he's just about done now."

((Sorry so short but there's not alot to say.))

***************************

"Enjoying the show, fräulein?"

Not noticing Klavier's approach as she watched Zeth's dare unfold, she felt rather proud of herself for not only helping the new lady feel more welcome, but also potentially found Zeth a girlfriend. Goodness knows that guy needed to loosen up. He's been mopping about for so long in his work, locked up in that horribly messy... shack of an apartment. Goodness know how firm the security was on that mangy old bachelor pad. It seemed that Zeth cared so incredibly little about his own well being and only had time and money for work. Except his bed.... He had the most WONDERFUL bed in the world. She sometimes wondered if that bed was the only thing that sewed that man together every day...

There was an overwhelming feeling of despair as Nadine helplessly watched Cara's spun bottle grind to a halt and point at her. This was just ridiculous. Looking at Cara, she could see the exact same dread reflected back at her, and Nadine unconsciously drew closer to Darren as her stomach sank. 

Great. Just great. About the one person that I dislike in the room, and she spins me. Plus, Darren's a guy, so he'll probably get some weird kick out of his.

Inwardly groaning, she watched Cara as Alex made her flip the coin, trying not to look too affected, and mentally preparing herself for the ordeal.

Taking the offered hand, Kristoph kept a hold of it briefly as he nodded his thanks to Kraus for the suggestion. "Just as a side note," he said quietly, as he paused on his way past him, "Please do call me Kristoph. This is meant to be a 'party', after all." 

Smiling, Kristoph continued past Kraus and reached for the bottle, picking it up and turning it over in his hands contemplatively. His eyes rested briefly on Phoenix, and his hands subconsciously shifted his grip of the bottle to the body rather than the neck. There was a bizarre sense of discomfort in holding a grape juice bottle in front of him and so many others. 

"... Any objections to me being the next to spin?"

Seeing that Sarah was watching Zeth closely and didn't even seem to have heard him, Klavier's smile broadened and he waved a hand playfully in front of her face. 

"Earth to schöner fräulein," he sang, laughing before replacing the hand into his pocket. It was cute how Sarah was so clearly entirely focused on Zeth, even when he was stripping in front of someone else. Shying away from the embarrassing thought of it, Klavier was about to make another teasing comment to Sarah when Kristoph's voice called out to the room. 

"... Any objections to me being the next to spin?"

Surprised, Klavier looked towards his brother with raised eyebrows. Volunteering to spin? Now that was strange.
