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.))

I think he means alcohol.

Why would alcohol be off limits to children?

[Says someone who drank more wine when she was ten than she did when she was seventeen]

I don't know, but I read it as such in one of the books in the library.

It’s because people don’t want kids to have alcohol until they’re old enough to be considered responsible.

Then again, what is ‘old enough’ depends on the country. You have to be 20 in Japan to buy alcohol, but it can be higher or lower in other countries.

[A frustrated hiss.] It seems I missed something, then.

[And in a library as small as theirs, too. How thoroughly embarrassing.]

I suppose the answer to 'how do they deal with water-borne diseases' is 'some technology that is quite over my head' while we're at it?

[katzenpfote]

Is that generally a problem where you're from?

[wisdominshadows]

For the last four years or so? Not the most pressing, but there's been a long list.
