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.))

What, a party to save a mystical land doesn't count?

[ What about their VR 'party', Rui? Heh heh. ]

Not really the kind of party I meant, fun as that was.

[ She laughs a little though. ]

Alright then! [ Tidus did take a sip of drink, but- ] Then I'll have to remember that. Been a while since we've had a party 'round here. Or how about we have something small?

I'm thinking... with karaoke?

Karaoke huh? I haven't done much of that.

[ But she definitely knows what it is. ]

You have parties around here?

Sometimes people throw 'em. Cassie did a whole dress-up dance thing, there was one called a Halloween party... kinda just an excuse to eat sweets and hang out.

[ Though, that does remind him... ]

I did wanna do a kind of 'get to know each other' hang out. But this is pretty good too. ...save for everyone trying to talk over everyone.

[ The downsides of the ICPs. Still, fun. ]

That must have been befor I came. A dance sounds really fun, actually.

Theennn, how about a dance? Hmm, waiiit...

[ Grinning - at least, the grin can be heard in his voice. ]

Does it count as inviting you to a party if you're the one making one now?

What? I'm not planning a party.

[ She lets out a little squeak. ]

I mean, you don't want me to party plan. Never done it.

Why nooot? [ Listen to this very innocent encouragement. ] Go to a party and plan it! Two fish with one ball! We could have it in the music car - or how about the gym?

[ Is Tidus having fun teasing her? Maaaybe. ]

I really don't think that's a good idea.

[ She laughs a little nervously. ]

No one would come anyway.

Wouldn't come for free food and fun?

[ Well, since they're on the ICP...! ]

Hey! Who wants to have a party sometime? Food, drinks, music and fun!

Tidus! What are you doing...?!

[ This is so embarrassing, isn't it? ]

Best time to learn about parties as any, right?

[ Heh! ]

I swear, you're trying to give me a heart attack or something. I don't know anything about planning things.

Then now's the time to learn! We've got people around who've done it before. Oh, my pal Kitty can help with the music. Hmm... do we want games for your party?

When did this become my party?

I...I don't know! Maybe?

I believe in you, Rui!

[ Heehhh. ]

Right! We can have games upstairs, the dancing downstairs! Oooh- we can use the game system you and Seto are working on! There's a few multi-players on that, right? I don't mind buying more!

That's the idea of it, yeah, but I'm not too sure when it's going to be ready. I'll mention it to him again.

Hey, if there's going to be free food, count me in.

'Course! A party's always gotta have food.

[ Hmm- ] Wonder if Rui likes barbecue food? I haven't had ribs in forever.

Question. Is there anyone who doesn't</i like barbecue?

Everyone on this train, by the looks of it - I haven't seen barbecue on the menu!

'kay, so barbecue food. I'm putting a vote for that.

I'll vote for anything that isn't the ingredient of the month. And that doesn't try to eat me first.

...sure that thing won't taste better marinated in barbecue sauce?

....That's a fair point?

Now we just need to find someone who knows how to cook.
