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.))

Oh... I - I guess. The only other things I could think of were really depressing, though.

['Never have I ever known my father' generally isn't one to bring up.]

Oh, then..!

[ Look at this.

Two awkward kids, both trying to help each other out. ]


How about something like.. um.. 'never have I ever played volleyball before'..?

.. Have you ever played volleyball?
miseris_socios: (huh?)

[They're doing their best.]

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure we never covered that in gym class when I was there.

See, then that might be a good one to use!

[ Madoka nods. ]

Since that's something that doesn't really have to do with age or anything.. it's almost close to totally random! [ .. except for worlds where that sport just doesn't exist, but look, if they have to take the multiverse into account they're never going to find a good answer.. ] And it's not really anything that'd make anyone sad either, I think..!

[ Unless someone is very passionate about volleyball. ]

... Do they do volleyball in gym class in high school? I don't know if I'd catch people....

Though I guess it doesn't matter in some ways, since it's just for fun.

Yeah! They have volleyball clubs in high schools, I'm pretty sure..! [ 'Pretty' sure since it's not like Madoka herself has been able to go to a high school yet.. or ever will.. She's just an eternal middle schooler now.

Also, part of the problem here is that Madoka is definitely not thinking of this game in terms of 'catching people'. She's so bad at this. Thankfully Ken seems to realise that it's just for fun too. ]


I bet at least one person on the train has played it!

[ Maybe they even have volleyballs in the sports car and so people played it on the train, who knows! Madoka wouldn't be surprised, considering the sheer amount of balls there.. ]
