Gian laughed at Shadow's words. He hadn't meant to make it look like he wanted Shadow dead, really. "Come on, Kratos. I'll make it to thirty seconds instead." That still didn't please Kratos but he knew they wouldn't be able to move the game if he continued to deny the dare. Plus, he had given his word that he'd join if Léan did. Kratos turned to look at Léan and he gave him a short nod. He'll definitely kiss Léan after he'd kiss Shadow.

"Thirty seconds." His voice was sharp as he held Léan closely. Gian, on the other hand, nipped at Alfie's jaw lightly before he'd nodded towards Shadow's way. "Do it before he changes his mind and so we can move on to the next one."

Léan's growling died down at Kratos' nod, and he curled up in his arms, burying his head against his chest so he didn't have to watch. Unintentionally, if he was watching, he might lash out and bite. When he and Shadow fought, in any way, it was not a pretty thing to see and it was nearly impossible to stop. He didn't want that happening.

"Very well, very well." Shadow didn't mind if it was one-sided, but to validate Gian's dare he at least had to make it look passionate. "If your siren bites me, you have to pry him off." He slid his way out of bed, wobbling a bit when he stood up and yawning, and made his way over to Kratos. Without hesitation, he crouched down and kissed him.

He really was fearless...or was he?

Alfie snickered again, snuggling up against Gian. He seemed highly amused that Shadow had gone about this so effortlessly.

Kratos put his hand on the back of Léan's head and he pursed his lips as he watched Shadow walk towards him. All the more, distaste was apparent on his face when he'd felt those lips against his own. Kratos hadn't ever not kissed anyone so this was going to be fairly easy to go through. He purposely changed his look of distaste to one of pleasure so he could play with Gian. The boy had to know his boundaries.

Gian was believing Kratos and he snickered along with Alfie as he snuggled up back against him. It was indeed quite surprising how Kratos seemed to be accepting such a thing.

Shadow knew not to push his luck any longer than he absolutely had to, and right at the thirty-second mark he pulled back, trotting back towards the bed. "Done," he chimed cheerfully as he sat down, smoothing his rumpled shirt just a bit. "It's my turn now, I guess?"

He glanced aimlessly around the room for a moment before his eyes landed on Hebs, who appeared to be being as quiet as possible so no one would notice him there. The fallen angel grinned wryly, eyes fixed on him. "Truth, dare, or would you rather?"

Alfie seemed to think this might be amusing, as well, because he leaned forward a little bit to watch. Léan, now that he was sure Shadow was gone, returned to his half-snuggled position with Kratos, yawning softly.

Kratos released his hold on the back of Léan's head and tilted the merman's head up to meet his own gaze. He gave a little smile before he'd dipped his head down to kiss him lightly, softly. Moving his lips against his own, his thumb moved to stroke the merman's jaw while everyone's attention was at Hebs. It seemed that only Hebs was the one who had glanced their way before meeting Shadow's eyes with his own. That was a wrong move because he couldn't bring himself to look away.

"Would you rather." He gave Shadow a little look of annoyance. Gian, on the other hand, only chuckled and idly wondered what Shadow had in store for Hebs.

Léan at first tried to pull away, unnerved because everyone else was in the room with them. But he relaxed after a few seconds, closing his eyes and tentatively responding to the kiss. Having never had a mate before--and of course, only having things forced upon him--he was not the most skilled in returning offered affection...

Shadow pouted slightly--he'd had a good truth and dare thought up for Hebs--but he immediately thought of a decent 'would you rather' question for him. "Don't you give me that annoyed little look. And would you rather...spend a day underwater in scuba gear in Léan's tank or spend a day super-glued to Alfie's back?" Shadow had once super-glued one of his earlier freaks, before this group, to a large stuffed horse. It had taken weeks to wear down the super glue.

Alfie frowned at the very thought of having someone super-glued to his back all day.

Hebs made a face. "Why shouldn't I when you're giving me such annoying would you rather choices?" he asked. Kratos broke the kiss and looked down at Léan before he'd turned to look up at Hebs. The snake man looked pretty annoyed, it had him snickering in amusement. Hebs shot him a glare, oddly enough breaking his spell of entrancement with the beautiful fallen angel.

Annoyance must be one way to break such a spell. "Underwater in a scuba gear in Léan's tank," he replied before he'd turned to look at Alfie, "No offense but you wouldn't want me shedding my skin and having it glued to your back." Gian laughed at that and Hebs grinned. "Alfie. Truth, dare or would you rather?"

Léan made a face at Hebs' answer. The snake man most likely wouldn't last very long in scuba gear in his tank--he tended to get territorial over his aquarium and attacked most anyone who touched the water or tried to hop in...or anyone who tried to clean his tank other than Shadow, Kratos, or Kratos' dead minions.

Shadow chuckled softly, leaning back into his bed and closing his eyes, looking relaxed and in a much better mood.

Alfie perked up when Hebs glanced his way, looking eager. "...Well, since no one's chosen it yet...why don't we do some truth?" he suggested, practically beaming in Hebs' direction. He rested his head on Gian's shoulder.

Hebs looked over at Léan's way and he noted that he'd rather have the gashes and scars than have himself skin on Alfie's back. Water kept him from skinning. At least, he wouldn't have to worry, too, about Léan attacking him if he was out with Kratos. They did tend to get lovey-dovey together.

"How intimate would you want to get with Gian?" he asked, shifting a little this time to prop himself up on his elbows and lift his feet to have the sole of it resting on the edge of the bed.

"As intimate as he wants to get. I have no limits, you know," Alfie reminded Hebs, arching an eyebrow. "If he wants to do something, I'm totally up for it. I might request something, but...I'd rather he asked."

Léan cuddled close with Kratos again, closing his eyes and purring softly. He seemed to be feeling relaxed, despite being around everyone else and rather close to them all. Usually being close to the others bothered him.

Shadow grinned wryly at Alfie's response, looking amused. Of course, the naga had no limits. His brain seemed to work differently from everyone else's...

Well, Hebs asked that question not for himself but for Gian who had looked up at Alfie in obvious surprise. "But, I don't even know what you want to do," he grumbled before he'd felt his cheeks color a bit, "Can't you suggest then I ask?" That had made Hebs chuckle and he turned to look towards Kratos and Léan's way. It looked like this community had found their special someone.

Except for him. Not that he was complaining. Just living with his fellow freaks made his life all the more interesting. He had to thank Shadow for that. Hell, he owed the fallen angel his life. If he could give his life in exchange for immortality and live by his side to serve him, he would.

"All right," Hebs said with a smile, "I'm done."

Alfie, once he heard that Hebs was done, fidgeted uncertainly. He had had a good idea, but it had been for Shadow, and Shadow had already went. "...Can I pass my turn to someone who hasn't gone, yet?" he asked, ruefully. "I had a good one, and it was the only one I had, and it was for Shadow. And I don't want to blurt it out to him when people haven't gone, yet."

Léan made a face, knowing that he hadn't gone, yet. He didn't particularly feel like accepting dares, truths, or would you rathers...

Gian blinked. "But that's the fun in that," he said with a grin, "If you want to call Shadow, do it." Hebs nodded at that and turned to look at Léan. He gave him a small, reassuring smile. "I'm sure Shadow wouldn't mind going now, would he?" The snake man turned to look over his shoulder at Shadow and raised his eyebrows a little.

Kratos' hold on Léan had become rather possessive as he half-hugged the upper part of his body against his own.

Alfie chuckled, resting his head on Gian's shoulder. "I kind of really want you to choose truth," he said, simply, in Shadow's direction. "I have a nice question for you. And I'm honestly curious."

Shadow cocked an eyebrow, looking intrigued, and laid back more in his bed to relax. Playfully, he beckoned to Hebs, hoping the other would cuddle with him while they played this game. "Very well. If you're that curious, I'll choose truth..." He was, of course, trying not to read minds while they played this game. To avoid doing so, he was focusing on singing the Star-Spangled Banner, the national United States anthem, in Russian in his head.

Alfie grinned, looking eager. "I reaaaallly wanna know what the craziest thing you've done sexually is. Or if you can't remember that, a gross estimate of how many serious partners you've had in all your life."

Shadow frowned, pausing in his translating the Star-Spangled Banner in his mind to think. "...Can you give me a little time to think? Someone else can go while I think..." He glanced in Kratos' direction. "Why don't you take your turn, seeing as you haven't gone yet? It will give me time to think."

Gian reached up to play with Alfie's hair and he rested his cheek on the side of the naga's head. He listened to the conversation between the two and he watched as Hebs moved to cuddle close to Shadow. It seemed that even Hebs didn't have a hint of shame in showing he was interested in Shadow. "You've lived for far too long," he said teasingly at Shadow and rested his cheek on his shoulder while he looked down at Kratos who looked thoughtful.

"Then, Gian." Gian seemed to freeze when Kratos had called his name. Turning to look at the man, he blurted out, "Truth," before he could stop himself. It's not that he didn't want to do any dares but it was a lot safer with Kratos if it were truth - or so he thought. "Your first time. Describe to us in detail your first sexually intimate moment."

Gian turned bright red at that statement and he glanced at Alfie before he'd cleared his throat. "Well. I got onto his lap and um, used nothing but our hands." Kratos seemed to frown just a tad. It was vague but at least the boy was embarrassed as hell. Gian, apparently, just remembering that was feeling his body turn a little hot. It didn't help either when he'd boldly asked Alfie that time whether he liked him or not.

"Alfie. Truth, dare, or would you rather?"

Shadow cooed softly, running his hands happily through Hebs' hair. "Mm. I suppose I have. By the way, when I have my answer, I'll just blurt it out. I think I'll answer both of your questions, Alfie," he spoke, in the naga's direction.

Alfie seemed elated by that much. He was not at all embarrassed by Kratos' question, or by Gian's look and answer. He noticed that Gian seemed a little hot and bothered, possibly recalling the situation, so he snuggled closer and gave him a nuzzle to the neck that silently said 'If you need to take care of something, hold off until the game is done. Then we can take care of it.'

Léan seemed highly amused by what Kratos had asked. He was relieved, in a sense, that no one had asked him anything yet. He had a feeling that soon, someone would certainly have the balls to do so.

Alfie smiled at Gian when he was chosen--though bummed because once again he didn't have any ideas for asking anyone--and sat up a little straighter. "How about a dare?"

Gian felt a pleasant shiver creep up his spine at that silent message the other sent him with that nuzzle to his neck. He thought for a moment just after Alfie had replied and he lightly ran his thumb along his forearm. What would be a good dare? "I dare you to..." He trailed off and frowned. "Kiss every one of the people here and tell me how it is? Be it feeling or taste." Gian would've had said to have Alfie flash the room but he doubt that could happen. What with the other being already naked and all.

Kratos had on a look of a distaste. What was with Gian and kisses, seriously? Was that all the kid could think about? Hebs only chuckled and he idly wondered what Shadow's answer would be to those questions Alfie had asked. He, too, was curious. Shadow had lived a long time. Surely, he had had serious relationships even before Damon?

"...I don't think that's going to fully happen," Shadow informed Gian, shortly, as he wryly glanced towards Kratos' direction. It wasn't Kratos he was worried about, of course...it was the suddenly defensive, aggressive, growling merman in his arms, baring his teeth and glaring in Alfie's direction like he was just daring him to come anywhere near him with those lips of his.

Alfie backed away a bit at Léan's aggressive response to Gian's dare, looking frightened. He didn't exactly want to have his face clawed off by the siren...

Shadow suddenly shifted uncertainly on the bed and glanced towards Alfie, amusedly. "I have answers to your questions, by the way. The craziest thing I've ever done, well...I trust you know what exhibitionism, or voyeurism, is? I once had a lover who loved to do things in public places. We visited Italy once, and had full-on sex somewhere in the Vatican...I can't remember precisely where. We weren't caught, surprisingly..."

The fallen angel paused slightly. "...As for how many serious partners I've had--as in, I spent more than a few nights with them...I would say...definitely more than three hundred."

Gian hummed. It looked like Alfie was going to be walking to his death bed if he did get anywhere near the merman. Reaching out to take Alfie's hand, he pulled him close to kiss him lightly on the lips. "Then a shirt. Just wear a shirt for the next two rounds." Turning to look at Shadow as he heard him reply, he raised his eyebrows a little in surprise. "You aren't called a pervert for nothing, all right."

Hebs only laughed at Gian's words and he shifted a little to prop up on his elbow. "That's probably just how insatiable Shadow is to human kind." Gian stuck out his tongue and Kratos, in response, only tried to soothe Léan by letting his hand run up and down the others' back while he pursed his lips. "Insatiable? More like a sexual fiend."

Alfie pouted slightly. "Where am i going to get a shirt in here?" Shadow glanced over in his direction, a grin on his face. "Just snatch one of mine out of the dresser...it's no bother to me, as long as you're not shedding on it." The naga frowned, as if Shadow had just made him very miserable, and slithered miserably off to fetch a shirt.

"Does anyone have a really good dare or truth or would you rather for Léan?" he asked, idly. "I can't think of anything really good."

Léan huffed, irritated by Alfie's words, and arched his neck up so he could bury his face into Kratos' neck and rest a bit.

Gian knew about Alfie's discomfort of wearing a shirt, which was why he'd rather that than have Alfie's face scratched out. He did take a liking on the naga's face and, well, pretty much the naga's whole body. His personality's fun, too, and Gian wasn't able to stop himself from smiling as he watched Alfie leave to get a shirt. "Truth, maybe?" he asked as he shrugged, "Are there things about mermans that we should know?"

Hebs had returned to settle his cheek on the fallen angel's shoulder and he put his hand on the being's stomach to stroke him lightly with his thumb. Kratos looked interested in Gian's question. He hadn't actually thought of asking such a question either. His hand continued to run up and down Léan's back while he turned to look at Shadow.

"What specifically are things you want to know about merpeople?" Léan looked instantly suspicious, and self-conscious. He didn't talk often about his kind, and when he did, he usually only mentioned small things. He was going to try to get out of revealing too much information...he was a private person.''

Alfie tugged an old black V-neck shirt out of Shadow's dresser and tugged it on, folding his wings uncomfortably against his back. He usually didn't wear shirts because of those little wing-like protrusions coming out of his back. He slithered his way back over to Gian and cuddled with him, absently.

Shadow closed his eyes, purring softly at Hebs' stroking his stomach. He seemed to enjoy the close contact very much. He was, however, paying attention to what the siren was saying. Anything that Léan didn't want to say, he could say. He knew a lot about merpeople.

Gian shrugged and turned to look at Kratos. "Say, like how are they born? How do they find mates? What are they generally like? Are they much like fishes or human?" He saw Kratos turning to look down at Léan. "Kratos is interested to know, mostly." That had Kratos grunting. There was a faint trace of redness on his cheeks.

"Shut it, brat," he said as he gave Gian a glare. He didn't particularly like how blunt Gian was. Hebs only smiled in amusement.

Léan suddenly looked quite embarrassed, and he looked away from Kratos for a long moment before he glanced back at him, then over in Shadow's direction. Shadow smiled, understanding. "Whatever you don't feel comfortable answering, Léan, I can answer for you," he agreed, gently. "But try to answer it all. Talking will be good for you." Léan's ear-fins flared out in annoyance, in slight aggression, but he sighed and began to speak anyway, a hint of a blush on his face as well.

"...We have live young...eight-month gestation periods. Well...only one variation of siren doesn't have live young--Kraken Sirens, who have the bottom halves of octopi, lay eggs. Our mating season lasts from the start of spring to mid-autumn. We find mates by calling for them and setting out traveling--for loners and nomads. We attract them by singing, mostly. As for your 'generally like' question, I'd appreciate it if you didn't try to shove us all in one category. And we are...not like fish or humans...we are unique."

He raised his tail a little in annoyance, glancing back up at Kratos and looking thoroughly embarrassed.

Kratos found that rather amusing when Léan's ear-fins flared out. It had him reaching up with his free hand to give it a little stroke on the edge. "Ah, sorry," Gian said with a grin before he'd snuggled closer to Alfie and nuzzled his jaw. "But at least, you know now, Kratos." He gave the man a grin. When he received another glare, Gian only laughed.

Hebs continued to stroke Shadow's stomach and he nodded towards Léan way. "It's your turn, Léan," he said with a gentle smile. Kratos set his hand again on the merman's tail.
