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.))

Never have I ever remembered where I come from.

[ That's how you play this game...right? ]

[amnesiadragon]

Me either!

[No drinking here!]

[melodiouspacifist]

Hey, that's cool. It's probably overrated.

[amnesiadragon]

What does 'overrated' mean?

[blitzcheer]

...does finding out I lived somewhere different than where I thought I lived kinda count?

[ ...maybe he can make tha this own 'Never Have I Ever'? 'Never Have I Ever Technically Lived On The Planet I Came From Properly'...

...

... no that's dumb. ]

[melodiouspacifist]

Uh, sure I guess, if you didn't know where you were from.

[ He just forgot. Somehow. For some reason. Who knows? ]

[blitzcheer]

[ ...it probably doesn't count.

But! ] Well, hey, nothing wrong with it. Unless you wanna know. Thennnn, good luck with that.

You just forget?

[goingthroughaphase]

[ Kitty can't help a frown as she takes a sip. ] Not at all?

[melodiouspacifist]

I don't remember a lot of things. Nope, not at all. Could be any world really.

[goingthroughaphase]

Oh...I'm sorry. That must be tough.

[mynameisallen]

Same. Though I don't consider remembering where I come from to be important.

[He doesn't have memories before a certain age, so it counts.]

[melodiouspacifist]

I don't know if it's important or not. I think people think remembering things is important in general.

[mynameisallen]

Which is odd because not everyone can remember everything for various reasons. Like I can't because I have memory loss and can only remember stuff after the age of ten.

That is a lot of memories missing, but I personally don't think it's important to remember and instead just focus on making new memories.

[blue_ice]

Sometimes I wish I could forget.

But I know that's not helpful to you.

[ Solemn nod and drink. ]

[melodiouspacifist]

Maybe I do too, but since I did forget, who knows?

[blue_ice]

What's important are the memories you make now.

[fivemilesdeep]

Does it count if you wish you could forget?

[But he drinks anyway.]

[melodiouspacifist]

I don't think it does, no.

[fivemilesdeep]

[He shrugs.]

I didn't think so.

[Hence the drink.]

...but you really don't remember?

[thawed_pride]

Luxord would be proud of your ruthless exploitation of statistics.

[melodiouspacifist]

Statistics? I don't know anything about statistics.

[ There's the most minute tug at his lips. That may be a lie. ]

[thawed_pride]

Of course you don't. It was merely luck that caused you to stumble upon something that would target the majority of the population, I'm certain.

[He's not even trying to hide his own amusement, but then, when has he ever denied being something of a troll?]

[jingyeets]

( taking a siiiiip of teeeea over here. )

From before wherever you last remember, or nothing before the train?

[melodiouspacifist]

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

[jingyeets]

A... what does becoming a nobody mean? Sounds like amnesia ended up involved... not all that weird.
