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.))

Sure, Demyx is on the roster. It's a name I was given and it's tied to me with magic.

But it's not what my name originally was.

[melodiouspacifist]

I don't remember anything from before I became a Nobody. So maybe the last eight or nine years, that's it.

[melodiouspacifist]

Hey, I've done that one! I know how to push the button to call Ienzo!

[ And so he gets to take a drink. ]

[tactlesstantei]

I actually bought mine back through the train shop some time back.

[And Masumi pulls out her phone and briefly holds it at the screen before taking a drink. It's a fairly normal (by her world's standards) smartphone.]

I bought it back to access something that was on it, but it's been useful for other things too.

[melodiouspacifist]

Me neither, far as I can remember!

[ Yay, a loophole. Possibly. Or maybe he only has one name the rest of the time, but who would know? ]

[partofthecrowd]

I'm not sure I could get anything done without my tablet.

[ It's alright, she has no one to call either. ]

[partofthecrowd]

I programmed a program that learns on its own and aside from do a ton of work for me and my company, she also keeps me company.

It is a bit complicated if you're not familiar with how programming works, but I can try and delve into details.

[partofthecrowd]

I suppose you have a point, I do.

[ She laughs and she'll take a drink of her juice. ]

[partofthecrowd]

I guess that's a good thing, good food is important for these kinds of boring things.

[partofthecrowd]

When did this become my party?

I...I don't know! Maybe?

[blitzcheer]

Okay, let me ask Gen if he thinks double ping-pong sounds like a fun way to spend time.

[ Gotta work with the hubby to make sure Senku's getting breaks! ]

[partofthecrowd]

In that case, I get to have some coffee.

[ She chuckles a little bit at that and sips it appropriately. ]

[partofthecrowd]

That is a good question. I guess not if no one actually invited you.

[partofthecrowd]

Definitely not.

[partofthecrowd]

So I've heard, apparently. Tidus is a force of nature.

[obliviouspatriarch]

How about a drink then to families not being proud of their kids.

[Not the best thing to drink to, but drinking to ignore disappointment is what he does best.]

[10billionpercent]

What makes you think if you ask him we'd end up playing ping-pong?

[ Who do you think is in charge here Tidus? He doesn't do everything Gen wants him to.

Yes he does. ]

[blitzcheer]

...I know this is a stupid longshot, but- you wanna try asking the train for a check-in on home? I mean, bugging it got it to share those video logs...

[ Who knows? ]

But hey, if you weren't around - one person can't be expected to solve everything, you know? People find a way to adapt. Maybe they'll think better about your ghost fighting side when you get back too.

[ ...if they don't think he stole himself! ]

[blitzcheer]

Everyone on this train, by the looks of it - I haven't seen barbecue on the menu!

'kay, so barbecue food. I'm putting a vote for that.

[blitzcheer]

[ Pfft. ] Who knows! We'll have to ask for stuff we want, if we don't want just whatever. Last time I got party food through the meal kit, it gave us cooking food and candies. Ginger cake, crispy rolls, little dumplings...

[ But right at this moment- ] I'm leaning barbecue, this time. [ Ah. ] We should ask Rui what she wants too.

[blitzcheer]

Sounds like it counts to me too! [ Echoing Danny, that is. ] No one here's going to say family means who's blood.

[ But, Tidus is curious. ]

What did you do?

[lanxichen]

Even leaving aside that the statement was that never have you ever made them proud, which you have, many times that I have witnessed myself - I do believe that, in the end, they would be proud of you even now.

Then again, I should have expected young master Wei to choose the option where he would be drinking.

[blitzcheer]

I believe in you, Rui!

[ Heehhh. ]

Right! We can have games upstairs, the dancing downstairs! Oooh- we can use the game system you and Seto are working on! There's a few multi-players on that, right? I don't mind buying more!

[agoodsoul]

Well like, working 'stead of partying. Get more done. Like you said you put yourself into your company and I bet it's better for it. Hope you take some time for yourself though, can't work all the time.

[agoodsoul]

Damn train ruined your practice time, huh?
