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.))

[Huff! But there's a faint, amused smirk that says he's proud of his boy's cleverness.]

I hope you realize, I fully intend to make certain you attend some form of proper schooling eventually.

Dad...

... Maybe after we beat SEES in my world. Fighting at night and going to school during the day isn't a great mix.

Hmm...I cannot argue with that. Though, given your situation, I had considered that homeschooling may be the best course of action.
miseris_socios: (wh-what?!)

I guess... I wonder if there's a lot of difference between stuff that gets taught in our worlds.

Most likely, I am certain that history, at the very least, is quite different. I doubt your world considers magic and alchemy to be part of the sciences, either. But mathematics and literary sciences ought to be fairly consistent.
miseris_socios: (ugh...)

[personal profile] miseris_socios 2021-10-04 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I... I guess. And yeah, magic and alchemy aren't considered real things in my world.

... I don't like math.
thawed_pride: (Nort-I'm getting too old for this.)

Simple mathematics are necessary for any number of other skills. Perhaps we can focus first on methods to make various things easier to remember.

Don't we have calculators to do that for us nowadays?

[Grumble, grumble.]
thawed_pride: (Nort-Why am I still here?)

[personal profile] thawed_pride 2021-10-04 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Calculators cannot tell you what equation to use.
miseris_socios: (grr...)

[personal profile] miseris_socios 2021-10-04 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, they should.
