I find myself sitting around in the main room of the servant's quarters with Mitsuhide, Kiki, Garak, Master, Miss Shirayuki, and Lillith. I just want to drink a little and relax, I'm not sure what sort of game Garak has in mind but it can't be good unless it's doing something to harass Lillith. That seems to be their favorite thing to do, annoying each other. I look over at the pair in question and find Lillith apparently trying to get Garak drunk enough to forget whatever game she is thinking of. I doubt she'll succeed. Garak is pretty driven when it comes to something sneaky. Lillith sighs and turns away from Garak, her eyes meeting mine for a second before quickly looking away. I'm not sure why, but Lillith seems to have hated me from the very beginning. I don't recall ever doing anything to her but she hardly talks to me and seems to do her best to keep her distance from me. I asked Garak once and she just laughed every time she tried to speak or Lillith would show up and she seemed to understand what was going on and would do everything in her power to shut her up.

Garak stands in the middle of the room, only slightly wobbly with two bottles in her hands, one half empty, one completely empty. She orders us to all sit in a circle in the floor and my expression deadpans.

"Are you trying to get us to play spin the bottle? That seems a bit awkward considering that could lead to an employee kissing Master." I point out and she laughs.

"Not just spin the bottle my dear Obi. It will also be..."

"Truth or dare? That seems childish as well." Lillith cuts in and Garak scowls at her.

"Shush little girl. You agreed to the game, remember?"

"That was before I realized you wanted us to play children's games."

"Is it a children's game if there's alcohol involved? I didn't think so. Now sit you little wretch."

Lillith sticks her tongue out at Garak but everyone reluctantly complies and I find myself settled between Master and Kiki with Lillith across from me. She had tried to change places with Garak but Garak is bigger than she is so Lillith got trapped on her stomach with Garak sitting on her back. That works I guess. I shake my head and drain the last of the bottle beside me. I feel like I'm going to need it.

It turns out Garak's game is a mix of spin the bottle and truth or dare. We spin it and whoever it lands on has the option to kiss the spinner, or get asked truth or dare. This should be terrible. It seems Kiki, Lillith, and I all share the same sentiment but Lillith is trapped and Garak tells us we can't back out or she'll strip us naked and throw us out into the storm. Great... Definitely require more alcohol... I watch as she gives the empty bottle to Master first since he's the prince. It spins around the circle before landing on Shirayuki who is on Lillith's other side. Of course. Master and Shirayuki both are too timid to kiss each other so openly like that, so I am curious as to what they'll do.

"If you don't pick an option in twenty seconds, the bottle will be spun again and whoever it lands on will pick for her and it will have to be carried out." Garak cuts in as they continue to stare at each other with red faces.

"I-uh, well, uh- truth, dare, or kiss, Shirayuki?" Master finally stammers out.

"I-uh..."

"Eight, seven, six-" Garak cuts in.

"Garak get your fat ass off me!"

I sigh and look away as Shirayuki crawls through the circle and gently kisses Master.

"See, now was that so hard?" Garak cheers as Lillith continues to struggle beneath her.

"Okay everyone, I will make an entire batch of cookies for whoever will get this whale off my back before she breaks my spine!"

"That's rude. You're just jealous that I have curves like a real woman and you're built like a toothpick."

"It's too bad your curves are sixty percent stuffing!" Lillith shoots back.

"I can prove they're real!"

"Garak, please, no one wants to see that right now. I thought you wanted to play this dumb game anyway?" Kiki cuts in and they seem to remember the rest of us.

Shirayuki spins the bottle once everyone, minus Shirayuki and the still-struggling Lillith, grab more drinks to loosen up. It lands on Kiki who picks truth and reveals that she doesn't have a boyfriend. From there I watch it land on Garak, then to Mitsuhide, then to Lillith. Well, Lillith's face.

"Truth, dare, or kiss?" Mitsuhide asks, his face tinting red at the word 'kiss'.

"If I pick kiss will you free me from the beast?" She asks hopefully.

"I'm pretty sure he'd faint if you kissed him, Lill." Kiki cuts in. "I'll free you regardless of what you pick."

"Ah, then I'll be like everyone else and pick truth for my first round."

Mitsuhide looks over at Garak who is mouthing words to him.

"Hey! I can tell you're planning something! No cheating!"

"Uh, do you have feelings for someone in the castle?"

"Feelings of murderous intent maybe..." Lillith scowls. "Kiki help me!"

"Alright Garak, enough torture, let the toothpick breathe."

Garak finally moves off of Lillith and the blonde dramatically gasps for breath while rolling around on the floor. When she finally sits up, a sadistic grin crosses her face and she downs a bottle of rum before spinning the bottle. It lands on Garak and her grin gets wider.

"Truth, dare, or pucker up darling?"

"Dare. Give it your best shot."

"I dare you to go outside, strip naked, and run from here to the gates and back."

"You're on."

Garak gets up and finishes off her bottle before heading for the door. Once it shuts Lillith looks around the room and sighs.

"So, should we lock the door and leave her out there so we don't have to play anymore? It seems like a good idea to me."
