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

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.))

Never have I ever gone skydiving!

[ Please tell him someone has. It's on his bucket list. ]

Hmm…how far off the ground does the aircraft have to be to count?

Like obviously it can’t be like, five feet off the ground, but…does it count if you can jump out of the aircraft and still live?

I'll allow it, because that's still a pretty awesome entrance.

You pulled that off?

Does flying the ship while other people jump out count?

Piloting's the toughest job there, so yeah. Drink up!

Okay, so what is involved with skydiving? Because if it involves diving off other people or swords when in the sky, then technically I have done that.

Yup, that's it!

We usually use airplanes, but swords is new!

Does it count if you jump out of a plane into a portal?

[ She may or may not have done that. ]

Go for it! Though now I'm a little concerned about where that portal went.

I hope that never happens to me! That's like, one of my worst nightmares!

[ He may have a fear of heights. ]

Well, uh. It's pretty hard to accidentally jump out of an airplane, so you're probably good?

This sounds like it could be fun.

[Rapunzel would be willing to try something like this.]

The wind whipping your hair, riding on the edge...I bet you'd really feel alive up there.

[Conan wouldn't normally participate in this, but he was terribly bored.]

Does paragliding count?

[There was also the time he'd gotten thrown out of a blimp, but as he hadn't had a parachute on at the time, he wasn't counting it. ]

Sure. That is also awesome, and I'd definitely be down for that sometime.

I... suppose jumping out the window of a rather large building counts, right?

[Hahaha. Don't ask for details.]

Depends how you landed. You didn't break anything, right?

[Satoru takes a drink. Launching himself off a giant bird to be a show-off counts, right?]

A few times. It's fun.

Aww man. Is it that feeling of riding on the edge?

[ Drinks his chocolate milk, and then smiled smugly. ]

What can I say? I lived a life of excitement.

[ ... He's also a lying liar, but why wouldn't he want to claim to be someone who's been skydiving? ]

...jealous! Hoping I get the chance one of these days. Hey, does this train have parachutes?

Pray, what constitutes as 'skydiving'?

[ Koumyou... takes a sip of his tea. ]

I flung myself and my boyfriend hundreds of feet up in the air, back down, back up, back down... to get across a big distance one time.

It's not several thousand feet with a parachute, but we also didn't have one of those!

[ So he's counting it, at least for a sip. ]

I have, but I have never set out to do so. It was always with a purpose.

As long as we are speaking of a controlled descent from air to ground.

I've been paid to do it. With weapons and gear strapped to me.
