The revolution has finally ended and androids are equal now, but it's far from over! Human's still feared them, abused and hurt them, treating them like they are less than. As always though the androids are determined to continue, to fight for their...
Markus looks directly to her and simply states, "We went to see Carl together. Being nosey aren't we?" He laughs slightly. She rolls her eyes to Markus while Simon goes next. "Connor truth or dare?" Surprisingly Connor picks dare. "Really? Okay, I'll keep it simple for now." He ponders, "Show us an embarrassing photo you've gotten recently." Connor rolls his eyes. He knows the only photo he has of him, that's not Sumo and Hank and other memories they've had is this one. He opens his hand to show his palm and a holographic image appears (artist credit v)

The whole group abruptly laughs. "Oh shut up! I'm sure you guys photos are no better. I was peaceful." Connor justifies amongst everyone's giggles. Its Markus' turn he looks at North, "truth or dare?" "Dare." She states confidently. "You have to let the group pick a hairstyle and we get to style your hair in it. I'm thinking pigtails!" He looks around as the group nods in agreement. North laughs loudly and quickly downs her shot. "Ha you're funny." The group shakes their heads, "Such a missed opportunity." Connor teases as he starts his turn. "Markus truth or dare?" Picking truth, Connor looks at Simon then back at Markus to ask him, "Who would you date out of everyone in the group?" Markus laughs, "That includes you?" Connor blushes slightly. "Ah well that depends on you really." He tries to say nonchalantly. "I'm just messing with you; of course you're in the group dude, you escaped Jericho with us! You don't almost get blown up together for nothing." He laughs more and takes his shot. "You're not going to answer?!" Connor frustratedly asks. "Aw were you hoping I'd say you." He teases. "Okay you two get a room!" North taunts and takes a shot followed by Simon. Josh is just intrigued. "N-no ." Connor flusters trying to defend himself. He looks at Markus giving him a 'you know why' look and takes his shot with Josh. "Alright my turn. After all that I'm picking Connor. Truth or dare?" Josh questions knowing either option could result in Connor taking a shot. Connor thinks and almost immediately regrets his choice after stating it, "Uh- dare.." "You have to kiss the person to your left." Connor blinks and looks at Markus slightly embarrassed, he prepares to take a shot before Markus prompts him it was okay, if he wanted. Connor's eyes widened as he looked around the group and then back at Markus. They leaned in and shared a soft kiss. While not romantically attracted to one another both androids blushed at the moment and the group teases. All except one, a quiet blonde haired boy who turned away awkwardly. "See Connor did his dare." Josh and Markus tease North. "Still nope." She drinks again. Connor is still flustered a bit as he takes a shot anyways prompting a warning. Alcohol level intake: average "Cool its me again. Connor, you know the deal." "Truth." He states calmly but inside he definitely is starting to feel the alcohol throughout his system. "Hm what's the scariest dream you've had?" Connor looks down at the cup, Shit I just took a shot but I really don't want to answer. I don't want to worry everyone over my fears if they come reality. I wouldn't let myself hurt anybody.. I know that. I just don't want them to think poorly of me. Connor shakes his head and takes the shot. "Damn Connor, for a beginner you're sure drinking a lot." Josh jokes. He simply shrugs his shoulders as the game continues to Simon. "Josh truth or dare?" Josh chooses truth. "Have you ever been attracted to the same sex?" He ponders for a moment, "I'm actually not sure." North scoffs, "Valid answer but drink." Josh rolls his eyes and takes the shot, "What about you then North?" She drinks another shot but proceeds to answer anyways. "Had to play with other girls constantly back at the Eden Club." She pauses before continuing, "Not sure I'd actually be into them though." She is not happy with the silence from her answer as they all pondered on it. "Fuck, you all might as well answer now then!" She sucks her teeth and leans back looking at the rest of the group. Simon starts since he asked. "I'm not familiar with all the terms yet but I am, yes." Connor chimes in behind him. "I would say the same, though for me it honestly doesn't matter. I prefer who you are as a person rather than what someone might identify as." Connor states simply and then everyone looks at Markus. He simply states, "I'm bisexual." "So you've done your research I see! Cool we're all somewhat gay or unsure." North laughs. "Connor, truth or dare?" Markus looks beside him. "Ah truth I guess." Connor stumbles on his words slightly; like the rest of them. "Alright what's your biggest fear?" He asks. "Oh its nothing major, I have what humans would call acrophobia." "Come on Connor, I'm sure you have bigger fears than that." Of course I do.. ever since I've became deviant a lot of my feelings have felt overwhelmed in fear. But one fear that trumped all the others flashed through his mind and made him feel a sinking feeling in his body he's never felt before. "Losing Hank.." he admits quietly before looking up at all the curious and intrigued faces before giving a quick rebuttal, "I- I think." Nobody's believing that, but none the less continue on as everyone is beginning to approach their limits. Connor looks at Simon, "Truth or dare, Simon?" "Dare." He states quietly. "Compose a poem for the group to hear." Simon's face flusters slightly before closing his eyes and beginning. "You held me in your arms, the tightest embrace and I found myself, in that moment feeling truly alive. Stumbling back to you, I feared you'd reject me or didn't want to see me.. I didn't want to be left alone again. You didn't though, you pulled me close. Now I watch the days add up To the more ways I find myself Falling for you." Everyone is silent nobody expected so much to come from just that. Suddenly two soft claps are heard in the room; as Simon opens his eyes to see Markus and Connor clapping now followed by the other two. Connor couldn't help but think of Hank with the poem but he was almost certain who it was actually intended to as he looks at Markus who was in awe staring at Simon. "Wow did you make that up just now?" Connor asks intrigued. Simon shakes his head, "Somewhat." Markus places a hand on his knee and quietly whispers, "It was great Simon, I know how hard that was for you." Connor overhears and immediately feels guilty even though Simon had the choice to not do it. He telepathically apologizes to Simon who responds simply with "It's quite alright." Connor decides to send a quick text to Hank to check on him. Finding his name, he quickly thinks up a message. Hank 🥃💙 7:35 pm Hello Lieutenant, I'm just checking in on you.
