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 gone outside my home. At least before here.

[And yes she went to a sad place.]

[monkeyinthewrench]

[ She looks to be late teenager-young adult age, so this is...concerning. He drinks, but there's no laughter in it. ]

Were you stuck in some cult, or something?

[adropofsunlight]

What's a cult?

[Because she had no idea what one actually was.]

But no. Just an overprotective mother. [Rapunzel will find a way to turn a frown upside down.]

But hey, it makes me appreciate life a lot more and also that frying pans are awesome weapons. Can knock a guy out if used in the right place.

[catti]

[Drinks in concern.]

You've never been outside of your place of birth? Or have you never left your house?

[He can't even imagine the latter. He'd have died of boredom before his age hit the double digits.]

[adropofsunlight]

I think I was born elsewhere and then brought there after someone tried to take a piece of my hair.

[Okay she was kidnapped by the person who did that and then twisted the story, but...Rapunzel has no idea about that.]

So it would be the latter.

[thawed_pride]

A sad state of affairs, really

[He knows a fair bit of the details, albeit not as many as a certain flowery piece of garbage. But it's maybe best not to mention that.]

[adropofsunlight]

Yeah... but it means I can to learn and experience life and even appreciate it a lot more.

[ Curufin takes a big drink from his bottle of red wine. ]

That wasn't your idea of how to live a life, though? You didn't have a choice about it.

[adropofsunlight]

I mean yeah. Now though I get to have the choice, so one day when I get back I can actually go through with my choices. Hopefully.

[so_dark_a_road]

And maybe you can choose to live a different kind of life, back in your own world. What would you do differently?

[adropofsunlight]

I really don't know. I mean my life was at the tower. I don't really have anywhere to go if I did leave.

[so_dark_a_road]

Maybe you could go adventuring and find some place to go? Life doesn't have to stay the same forever, it can change, if you take the initiative.

[jingyeets]

( he sips his tea, but also: )

I am so glad you're not trapped in a tower forever, but what's the plan when you're back? Will you head out on your own?

[adropofsunlight]

I mean before I came here I was planning on heading out to see the lanturns, but once I was done I was originally planning on going home. But now if I remember everything, I think I might explore more.

[jingyeets]

Yes! Explore! Then head home if you want, right?

[adropofsunlight]

I mean yeah, but I would be going home to someone who would be very angry at me.

[jingyeets]

I think I'm failing to see the problem here.

[goingthroughaphase]

[ Kitty takes a drink. ] Not even to play or anything?

[adropofsunlight]

Nope. I had plenty to do indoors. I mean it gets boring, but its still was something.

[goingthroughaphase]

Wow. Were your parents really overprotective?

[adropofsunlight]

My mother was, yes. Very overprotective.

[dnaofahalfa]

[Wait]

[WAIT!!!!!]

Oh, the....tower....right?

[Oh no, how much is the same??????]

[adropofsunlight]

That is correct.

[dnaofahalfa]

[THE INTERNAL SCREAMING]

Oh. With....your mom, right? Gothel?

[adropofsunlight]

That's right.

Though I at least understand now that what she has done is not great, but I always believed it was more being overprotective.
