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.))

( this one's silly, pointedly so, but also a bit self-amusedly smug when he goes: )

Never have I ever kissed anyone.

( this sounds entirely sing-song. SUCK IT, MOST PEOPLE ON THIS TRAIN WHO ARE NOT CHILDREN. because this is more of a playful prod at most the people he knows, his tail's visible on camera behind him, thicker than a cat's and fluffier at the end, but doing a very feline satisfied curl one direction, then back over and up and the other way. he lifts his tea mug, smirking.

bottoms up, suckers. )

[obliviouspatriarch]

I'd say I'm surprised, but then I'd be lying.

[there's a bratty smirk as he takes a swig on camera. Multiple.]

[jingyeets]

( he doesn't even pretend to be offended, just looks even more smug as he shoots back: )

That's right, for you, it'd be "I've never kissed anyone not Hanguang-jun."

( he holds up his mug like he would a drinking cup, tipping it to Wei Wuxian and his tail doing an even more zippy form of self-satisfied curl-over. the flirt for all ages, pure as pure but for, well, his husband, or so goes the rumours from wei wuxian's own loud mouth back home. SURELY THIS IS SIMILAR ACROSS WORLDS? )

[10billionpercent]

[ He'll just raise a glass, he's married after all. ]

[jingyeets]

( with a grin, he raises his mug in turn, not to drink but as a cheers sort of thing. )

[agoodsoul]

[You know, he's not surprised. At all. Considering their conversations. Never mind him taking a drink...]

Okay, but have you thought about kissing someone?

[jingyeets]

( he lifts one eyebrow, pursuing his lips. he's a bit torn here because Dennis... but he doesn't actually dislike Dennis either, he's protective of his best friend. who is Dennis's friend regardless, and...

okay so he'll answer. )

Only in a vague sense of "I'd like to kiss someone that passionately someday."

( when your best friend's parents are the dogfood you were raised on, okay )

[partofthecrowd]

How am I going to get to drink this coffee?

[ She's teasing a little bit, but she can't drink to this one either. ]

[jingyeets]

We'll have to get even more daring. Have you ever... held hands?

( a quirk of his lips before he takes a sip of tea )

[hitokiri]

This really the win ya think it is?

[ not that he's at all a good judge of age on a good day, especially since he knows adults who look like children, so maybe that's normal.

all the same, he takes a drink and he's fine with that. ]

[jingyeets]

Oh, I think that's a win for everyone!

( with a small sort of smirk, because he's not bothered with not kissing anyone--he's never been in love, why would he have? and for all those who have, enjoy their drink, right? )

[monkeyinthewrench]

[ Jake happily drinks his coffee-sludge. ]

There were girls, but none so perfect as Amy Santiago. I miss you, babe.

...also, I'm sure you could fix that if you wanted to? Attractive peeps, high-pressure situation. But if you don't want to I totally respect that.

[jingyeets]

( he's still got that very feline content tail curl going on, though he waves a hand. )

Not interested if it's not serious courting. Is Amy Santiago your spouse?

[goingthroughaphase]

[ Kitty just takes a sip. ]

[jingyeets]

( he grins, lifting his tea mug in a sort of cheers gesture. you keep living your best life, fellow voidtrecker! )

[flatteries]

[ Wow, someone's feeling personally attacked here. ]

I'm going to kiss you next time I see you.

On the lips.

[ .. Inigo probably isn't serious about that, but.. who knows? Maybe he is? Maybe he's just keeping the suspense up in the air to see if he can make Jingyi sweat a little. Dude. Don't underestimate his ability to play gay chicken. ]

[blitzcheer]

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Inigo and Jingyi, meeting at the pool....♫

[fivemilesdeep]

...you neither?

[He can manage a self-effacing smile, at least.]

[thawed_pride]

[Yes, he is fully expecting to surprise some people with this drink of coffee.]

No, I do not intend to elaborate. Nor do I intend to confirm or deny any theories on the matter.

[fun_thementalist]

[ Sips his chocolate milk, and then wonders aloud; ]

Is this an invitation? I can't say I'll take you up on it, but I wouldn't put it past others on this train.

[canyounoct]

[ Drinks! ]

... It's kind of dumb, though, most of them were stupid.

[pleple]

[ This child is actually taking her first sip of tea finally. ]

Not... a kiss like adult lovers, but...

[dragoonrouge]

[Q'uila looks contemplative ly at her tea.]

Would you judge the sip size to be proportional to the number of kisses or to the number of people one has kissed?

<[Because those are two very different metrics for the miqo'te.]

[subcircuits]

[He lifts the bottle of vodka he's playing with, then his eyebrows, then takes a theatrical chug directly from the mouth of said bottle.]

[eternalinquiry]

I have never done so willingly, does that count?
[ Lan Wangji doesn't even look embarrassed, he is amused at how smug Jingyi is though. ]
