Cal with wry grin on his face, snatches up the crown from its peg on the wall and places it on his head. "So I have an idea for a game." He grins wickedly, "lets play truth or dare."

<#jonah: Ollie looks intrigued.#>

<#court: So does Jeanne.#>

<#kate: Ella looks game from her sill.#>

<#ann: Celeste looks wary, but agrees to play if everyone else does.#>

<#bill: Cole is excited.#>

Cal digs into his coat and pulls out a bottle of some alchol that is empty. He sets it down in the center of the room and spins the bottle.

<#kate: Ella looks disappointedat the emptiness of said bottle.#>

It comes to a rest on Cole. Cal grins, and turns on Cole. "So Lieutenant...Truth or Dare!"

<#ann: Celeste grins widely.#>

<#bill: Cole barely hesitates. "Dare."#>

<#jonah: Ollie giggles, and draws his knees up to his chest, squeezing them in excitement.#>

Cal thinks a moment, pondering. Cal says, "Cole, I dare you to steal Nora's underwear and bring it back here."

<#bill: Cole looks horrified.#>

<#ann: Celeste laughs at the look on his face, then claps her hands over her mouth.#>

"You could always take truth if you don’t want to do the dare..." Cal says grinning.

<#bill: Cole stands up straight and sticks his chest out, "I...can handle this." He looks like he's going to firing squad.#>

<#kate: "Good thing we did laundry today..." She winks at Cole.#>

<#bill: He sticks out of his tongue at her and darts back into the orphanage.#>

<#kate: She shrugs and sits back, enjoying her smoke.#>

Cole is away for a bit, and the kids mess about but he returns successful.

<#court: Jeanne looks impressed and delighted.#>

<#kate: “He should get the next spin.”#>

Cal hands the crown to Cole. "You pick the next victim."

<#bill: Cole flushes with success.#>

<#ann: Celeste gives him the 19th century equivalent of a high five when he returns.#>

<#jonah: Ollie giggles at the underwear "now we can finally have a flag for the kingdom..." .#>

<#bill: "Shawn, truth or dare." #>

<#court: Jeanne laughs and pokes Ollie in the ribs.#>

"Truth" Shawn says, "Too cold to be dancin' about."

<#bill: Cole grins furiously but is thinking. "What girl would you most like to kiss?" .#>

Shawn shoots Cole a dirty look, and bushes bright red. Erin giggles.

<#bill: Cole looks and Erin and winks, still smiling.#>

Shawn says something really quiet, that Erin is the only one who can realistically hear.

<#ann: Celeste looks expectantly at Erin.#>

<#bill: "Ahem..." .#>

Shawn screws up his face and says, "Ms. Ida May.”

<#bill: Cole's mouth is a circle.#>

Shawn, looking to quickly shift focus says, "Ollie truth or dare."

<#jonah: Ollie looks surprised to be picked. "Uh..." He dithers a bit. .#>

<#kate: Ella looks expectant - curious to his answer.#>

<#court: Jeanne looks gleeful.#>

<#ann: Celeste is also entertained.#>

<#jonah: "Truth." #>

<#ann: Celeste looks slightly disappointed.#>

<#court: so does Jeanne.#>

"Whats your biggest fear." He says.

<#jonah: Ollie looks a bit sad. "Bein' alone, " he says, quietly.#>

<#ann: Celeste stops smiling at the question.#>

<#kate: "Well...good thin' that ain't the case then." Ella smiles at him.#>

<#bill: "Here? Ollie, it's hard to find time to be alone at the orphange." #>

<#court: Jeanne leans over and whispers, "And you won't be," staunchly.#>

<#ann: Celeste reaches out to ruffle his hair if she's within reach.#>

<#jonah: "And that suits me, just fine! Now I pick? ah a dunno.” Ollie stands up in the middle of the circle, whirls in a circle with his eyes closed, and stops, pointing at... #>

Valarie.

<#jonah: "truth or dare, val!" #>

<#ann: Celeste's grin comes back.#>

"Truth" She says, her eyebrow barely moving.

<#jonah: "Ok, then! What's the funniest thing you ever saw, in yer whole life?" #>

"Hope" She says in a monotone.

<#jonah: "Pppphphhpbpbbbbbpbpbpp" Ollie blows a raspberry at her.#>

Val gives a very subtile wink to Ollie, and points at Jeanne. "Truth or dare."

<#bill: Cole frowns at Val's answer and looks excited when they've moved on.#>

<#kate: Ella smirks a little then looks to Jeanne.#>

<#court: Jeanne looks shocked for just a moment, and then gets her bravado on "Hm".#>

<#ann: Celeste is watching her eagerly.#>

<#court: "Dare".#>

Valarie says. "I dare you to climb to the top of the tower."

<#bill: "Yes!" Cole says in an excited whisper.#>

<#ann: Celeste glances at the roof a little nervously.#>

<#bill: Cole looks at Jeanne for her reaction.#>

<#kate: Ella scoots out of the way a little, giving room to exit.#>

<#court: Jeanne raises an eyebrow and smiles. Jeanne says, "I'll be right back." raises her eyebrows suspensefully, and climbs out of the tower.#>

<#ann: Celeste looks a curious.#>

<#kate: Ella frowns a little and waits.#>

<#bill: Cole follows Jeanne.#>

<#court: okay. Jeanne is back in a second. walks to the window, gives ella a smile as she scoots over, and then jeanne climbs out the window. she stands on the sill.#>

<#kate: Ella now leans out to watch. .#>

<#ann: Celeste is leaning out to watch now too.#>

<#court: She hangs onto the rooftop with one hand, and with the other, wriggles something out of her neckline. It looks like a loop of rope. she swings it and tosses up to the weathervane she misses the first time but loops it the second time around the base.#>

<#bill: "Atta girl, Jeanne! Smart!"#>

<#court: She uses the leverage to help pull herself up. She clambers up, keeping hold of the rope as she goes.#>

As she nears the top, the wind seems to realy pick up, swriling around. It lifts her nightgown and seems to nearly pull her off the roof.

<#court: Jeanne flattens herself.#>

<#kate: Ella looks ready to jump out and help.#>

<#jonah: Ollie gasps involuntarily.#>

<#court: and inches herself up to the weathervane, flat.#>

<#ann: Celeste is frowning and uneasy.#>

She slips for a moment, but then the weathervane creeks and changes direction, and she pulls her way tot the top.

<#kate: Ella smiles.#>

<#court: While jeanne is up there, you can see her futzing with the rope then she starts inching down.#>

<#ann: Celeste leans impossibly far out the window, looking like she's read to catch Jeanne if she falls.#>

<#kate: Ella makes room for Jeanne to come in.#>

<#court: She gets back to the top of the sill, swings at the top of the window for a second, then into the window she is flushed, and has a rope tied around one wrist. She yanks the other end of the rope back in the window.#>

<#ann: Celeste hugs her as soon as she's back on solid ground.#>

<#court: then raises her arms in a flourish.#>

<#jonah: "Yay!!!" Ollie piles on the hug.#>

<#ann: grinning wildly.#>

<#kate: Ella applauds.#>

<#court: "haha" and she hugs them back and sits down.#>

<#kate: Ella pops back onto the sill, smiling at the hugs.#>

<#bill: Hug.#>

<#court: jeanne takes her rope and lassoes Celeste. "Truth or Dare!"#>

<#ann: Celeste laughs. "I wasn't going to hesitate to say Dare before, but after that...! Hmmm....I'm still going for Dare!"#>

<#court: Jeanne gets a wicked grin. "Hmmmm...Spin the bottle... then dance in the middle of the circle with the closest boy it lands on."#>

<#ann: Celeste raises her eyebrows, but goes to get the bottle. she spins!#>

<#bill: "Hey! That's like two dares!"#>

<#ann: "How is that like two dares? Spinning a bottle is hardly a dare in itself."#>

<#bill: "No fair for the boy who has to dance...."#>

It lands inbetween Cole and Shawn.

<#ann: Celeste makes a face at him.#>

<#court: Jeanne raises the crown and clears her throat.#>

<#ann: "Fine, be like that. The bottle's half way - Jeanne's throat clear so she stops.#>

<#court:"Okay. Since it's between two, that makes it more complicated! You can dance with both... you decide who's first. Or you can kiss just one!"#>

<#bill: Cole looks like he's going to object, but then stops. he's like a statue.#>

<#ann: "OKay, then I'll kiss Cole," she says defiantly glaring at Cole.#>

<#jonah: Ollie is giggling madly.#>

<#bill: Cole is pink.#>

Erin grins.

<#kate: Ella - who looked like she was going to start singing anyway, starts now humming something less dancable, more romantic.#>

<#court: jeanne looks largely entertained by celeste's reaction (but maybe just a little bit worried) and then busts out giggling at ella's song.#>

<#bill: Cole stands up.#>

<#ann: "Do you want a chair to stand on?" she asks.#>

<#bill: Oh, he looks clearly offended at that but doesn't say anything. "Just do it and get it over with." His expression is hard. But as soon as she makes like she's going to (assuming she does) his look softens.#>

<#ann: She walks over to him and kisses him briefly on hte mouth.#>

<#kate: Ella heightens the song as they close ...tee hee.#>

<#bill: he looks excited/petrified.#>

<#court: jeanne continues to look entertained.#>

Erin squeels in delight.

<#kate: "Looks like he might need a chair now Celeste."#>

<#bill: He tries to look cool after it's over, but he's a little weak-kneed.#>

<#ann: Celeste laughs at that, but looks a little surprised and thoughtful as she turns to Jeanne. "Satisfied?"#>

<#bill: He's pink again.#>

<#ann: "My turn! Ella, Truth or Dare?"#>

<#kate: She scrunches her face, in thought, then says, "Dare."#>

<#ann: "No surprise there," Celeste says with a laugh. She thinks for a minute "Bring a spoonful of pepper from the kitchen, and swallow it!"#>

<#kate: She shrugs, sets down her cig, obtains the needed pepper as well as some water. She braces herself, then swallows the pepper, making a kind of ew face, swallows then opens her mouth for Celeste, shwoing it's gone then drinks loads while trying not to gag.#>

She ends up gagging a bunch.

<#kate: She waves her hand at Erin, suggesting she go next while trying to stop gagging.#>

<#ann: Celeste looks a little guilty.#>

"Truth" Erin says after some mental debate.

<#court: Jeanne looks a little worried and offers to get more water.#>

<#bill: Cole claps for Ella when she's done.#>

<#kate:Ella looks at the others since she can't quite talk yet - specifically Celeste - as if asking them to ask the question. Ella waves her off and finishes what she's got, she's a bit breathless but recovering.#>

<#jonah: "Ah no way, you earned it."#>

<#kate: She smokes a little - calming down and thinking.#>

<#ann: "We'll wait.”#>

<#kate: "What do you want to be when you grow up?"#>

<#court: Jeanne nods.#>

Erin thinks, "I want a...handsome prince from England to come to the orphanage, and marry me, and take me away where I can be Queen and be good and kind to all my subjects...and wear many pretty dresses."

<#kate: "Don’t forget the tiaras and necklaces!"#>

She grins back at Ella Erin says, "Okay, Callahan, truth or dare!"

<#bill: "Why England?" Cole asks.#>

Erin says, "That’s where the good princes come from of course!"

<#bill: He grabs the crown for a second, "What's wrong with a New Orleanian prince?" He puts the crown on and bows deeply.#>

Cal snatches it off Cole's head. "There is only one king round here, King Callhan the wicked. And he picks dare."

Erin says, "I think since Cal started the game, the whole group should come up with his dare."

<#ann: "That's why Erin said, Prince, not King. She knows Kings are good for nothin'"#>

Cal says, "It is only fair." He does his best job looking regal.

<#ann: "Whatever he does, he should have to wear Nora's underpants!"#>

<#bill: "Good one, Celeste!" Cole says, but as he makes eye contact, he looks away and blushes again.#>

<#court: "Wear Nora's underpants to the kitchen and find us all something good to eat?"#>

<#kate: "Only Nora's underpants!"#>

Cal grins and begins to strip.

<#ann: Celeste starts giggling uncontrollably.#>

He goes down to his bare skin and pulls on the small nightie, and leaps from the window.

<#court: Jeanne is laughing, but looks embarrassed, too.#>

<#ann: Celeste looks shocked at that, and embarrassed.#>

He returns, still in the underwear bearing a tray of treats.

<#kate: Ella offers him the cig when he's done.#>

He takes it.

<#bill: "All hail the King!"#>

<#ann: Celeste can barely eat her treat for teh giggles.#>

"Long may he reign."
