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.))

Uh, I think drones count. Sure. Unless the robot is enough of a person where they’re choosing to take your picture, I guess.

But if others are in the picture, it’s not a selfie. [ Because that’s the reasoning he used with Prompto, and Noctis wants to be consistent. ]

[yondu]

Alright. I'm defeated. Ain't done it without someone else in the picture.

...Wait, if they're done a little more often in your world, why ain't you done it?

[Not that it matters but sometimes you just ask to ask.]

[canyounoct]

People are taking my picture all the time, I guess. Or they were.

[ He doesn't actually mind when Prompto does it, most of the time. ]

So, I guess ... I never felt like taking more of me, when my face is kind of everywhere.

[yondu]

Fair point. I could see where you'd get tired of your own face.

Maybe if you ever find a way to wear a disguise, then you can enjoy lookin' like someone else.

[Yondu... pretty much is cursed with looking like Yondu, but could be fun trying to pass as someone else.]

[canyounoct]

Well, I kind of have one? It's not great, but it worked well enough.

Got me into a fishing competition, anyway, and nobody called me out.

[yondu]

It usually don't take much if you're nice to average lookin'. [Yondu's not fit to hide anywhere even on his best day.] But it sounds like it's somethin' you could do.

[canyounoct]

[ Looked a little awkward at that description. He knew he's not ugly, but with the media fawning over him before Lucis collapsed, he's not sure if he's really as gorgeous as all the sycophants said he was. ]

[ But that's not this guy's point, so he pushed past his little awkward moment. ]

Still, if I'm undercover as just a random fisherman guy, I don't need to take selfies then, either.

[yondu]

I'd argue you need proof of what you catch but that'd defeat the purpose of big fish stories anyhow, wouldn't it?

[Look, Yondu's old but he's not blind and he knows absolutely the type of person he'd dress up for a job of some sort. It's a (sort of?) well-meant compliment. You know, when you're judged by guys that think, "Oh you'd be great at tricking the fuck out of someone."]
