Never have I ever made a fool of myself [video, nebula 17]

[monkeyinthewrench]

What's up, party people?

[ And here's a cheerful wave from a man in orange, seated in his room with a mug of...something. ]

If we haven't met yet, my name's Jake. Jake Peralta, your clues guy. I'm down to poke things with sticks and solve mysteries! Sooner we figure out what the train's entire deal is, where we're going and all that, the better, right? But in the meantime, I thought it'd be fun to get to know my new squad!

Anyways, I was wondering if anyone would be down to play a little Earth game called Never Have I Ever. How it works is you say something totally cool, or weird, or boring that you haven't done. And anybody who has done it has to take a drink. Unfortunately, I'm as broke here as I was back home, so I can't supply the booze. And we should probably be setting a good example, right?

So just drink whatever you have! Be that water, juice, milk, coffee...or if you happen to have a proper adult beverage on you, go ahead and drink responsibly. You ready? Great, I'll start: never have I ever gone skydiving!

((ooc: it's a big mingle format! Go ahead and add new 'never have I ever' statements as new toplevels, and threadhop all you want.))

Hey, if there's going to be free food, count me in.

Totally missed that this had its own toplevel, oops

[fivemilesdeep]

I do.

[THIS MONTH HAS SUCKED a party sounds great.]

[schrodingersghost]

And then I'd be bored. I'll take the sugar buzz.

[He pauses.]

Wait, do I have to take a drink for every time I've fallen down the stairs?

[fivemilesdeep]

From what you've told me, it's been more than that, more than once.

[It's a statement that could apply to just about anybody on the train, so he feels justified in saying it; that said, he's not about to spill details. Not his story to tell.]

[namethattune]

A fair point.

[He shouldn't laugh at that, but oh, is it tempting. What is it with Danny and stairs?]

...only if you want to.

[blue_ice]

...you learn to live with it, I suppose. When people are counting on you.

[blue_ice]

There'll be one soon enough if you want to try it out, I guess. Up to you.

[blue_ice]

What's important are the memories you make now.

[blue_ice]

I was scouted by the pro circuit. But I wouldn't have time for invention or running a company if I took the offer.

It's all tradeoffs.

[blue_ice]

...with the aid of allies. And my favorite invention, the jetpack.

[Another drink.]

[blue_ice]

I'm better at mechanical questions than the...more social types. But I can answer some.

[blue_ice]

Next time we land on a world with motorcycles, I could give you a lesson.

[blue_ice]

[ And just like that, Seto's self-satisfied laughter dies down. He takes on a somber expression. ]

...I'm sorry. For what it's worth.

[schrodingersghost]

[He'd had a rough time controlling his intangibility just after getting his powers. In addition to multiple trips down the stairs when his feet suddenly started sinking into the stair treads, he'd also dropped 37 beakers through his hands and gotten banned from life from handling school property. ]

Pass then. I'd run out of soda.

[runicfeathers]

Indeed, that is the truth. Many are not so fortunate to be paired with those they enjoy the company of.

[tactlesstantei]

I spent most of my time in Japan, but I did spend a few years in America.

[Masumi lies without blinking. Those few years were actually in Britain, but since she did travel to another country, she takes a drink anyway.]

[catti]

It makes sense. Different worlds, different words.

[And speaking of:]

What's 'English Lit'?

[namethattune]

Stairs are not your friends, are they.

[namethattune]

Thank you.

Though I would much rather celebrate yours than mourn mine. I have done quite enough of the latter already.

[He will miss Annelise for the rest of his life, but that will not stop him from living.]

[schrodingersghost]

I've gotten better! You try not falling when the ground won't stay solid. Also I'd totally have to count all the times the direction ghosts were throwing me happened to be down the stairs. Or through them.

[ Please let Tidus just take that as a joke.

Please let Tidus just take that as a joke. ]

It's strange, isn't it, Tidus? It's like he's inserting himself, and then slipping away! [ H-haha, a-almost as if! What a riot, t-that Jingyi! ] Almost as if he's afraid to commit..!

[mustknow]

[Everything is a mission. Even relaxation.]

Times like this I do wish Braig were along. If it has alcohol in it he knows how to make it, or how to get it. If it's something you could put alcohol in, but don't want to.. he's good with that too. Sooner or later, perhaps.

Snacks might be more important. Something not on the train's monthly list. Like those little fish rolls you gave me before.
