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.))

I haven't ever found a time. [ He's a horrible example, people should not bottle everything up like Prompto does. ]

Okay, what about something more lighthearted. Any hobbies?

[miseris_socios]

Um... I like playing soccer!

[chocobosnap]

Soccer... sounds cool. [ Does he know soccer? Maybe not. ]

I'm a runner.

[miseris_socios]

I'm a pretty good sprinter considering how short my legs still are, but I like having a goal to aim for. ... Er. Literally and figuratively.

[chocobosnap]

My goal was not to be fat. [ He says a little sheepishly, because he was an embarrassing child. ]

Oh and to talk to Noctis.

[miseris_socios]

Why was running a way to talk to him?

[chocobosnap]

Cause I was totally a disaster, too heavy and uh, just a disaster in general so improving myself made it so I was good enough to.

[miseris_socios]

You couldn't have just... talked to him? Like a normal person?

[chocobosnap]

Nah, couldn't talk to anyone really. I have this thing where I feel bad...and I can't speak. The words don't come out.

[miseris_socios]

I think that's called 'being shy'?

[chocobosnap]

That too, but it never got better. Whenever I'm uncomfortable I can't get words out. I stutter a lot.

[miseris_socios]

Oh.

[Yeah that... sounds more serious than just being shy.]

That... sounds like it sucks. A lot.

[chocobosnap]

Yeah, kinda, but I'll be fine.

[ He says with a smile as though it's totally fine. ]

It's always been like that. [ He has some pretty severe anxiety but he's just gonna pretend everything is alright. ]
