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.))

I understand. It does seem to vary pretty widely between all sorts of various cultures and groups of people.

Yeah! We did more embraces when it was really needed, and we all tend to sleep by each other, or touch arms and shoulders. Sometimes help each other with hair, when we were younger, and we groom each other's dragon forms, but that's a whole different thing entirely.

Being a dragon is difficult to relate to, indeed.

Apparently. Meanwhile me, the dragon, can relate to people just fine.

( a half-assed smile at that. he waves a hand at the screen, regardless. )

Still, whatever. What are you drinking?

I envy your wisdom.

[ A little bit sarcastic. ]

I just have tea.

Yes, envy me my wisdom, while I run around with a comb going brush me please.

( snarking right back, hello. )

Me too. The black stuff or the green stuff or do you have better stuff?

A basic black tea. I don't think I'd know good tea if I had it in front of me, really.

I don't know who has any... there are good teas, we grew up learning some of them. The best I can say about this stuff is it's hot, and tastes like tea leaves.

I don't really need much more than that for playing a game though.

No, but I want more than that for the mornings... and nights...

( a wistful sigh over here............. he complains. it's. it's just what he does, kiddo, we're so sorry. )

Hopefully you can purchase something nicer soon, then.

I wonder what item that counts as... I did get more incense this last go around, that was good. Not drinkable though.

I usually don't buy food or beverages, so I'm not the best person to figure it out. Whatever you get would be better than trying to steep incense, however.

( oh he pulls such a look of disgust and he shudders, visibly, at the thought. )

Ugh. Nope, never, that's so horrible my stomach just turned.

I've tried some unpleasant things, but that sounds dangerous.

It sounds like you'd definitely need to go make miserable faces at Ryo asking for help, yeah. Or anyone talented with medical... don't make them at me, that's not the kind of hurt I can help with.

I also try to avoid getting myself needlessly hurt. Some people seem to be too good at it.

It does seem to be a talent at times... glad it's not one you have to worry about.

I'll just keep an eye on the reckless ones.

Hah, good. Though you have me curious. Who's on your reckless list?

( his curling tail is back again, this is about as close as he gets to gossip, really )

I've seen quite a bit of it out of Tidus, Senku, and Vegeta. Senku's usually smart about when a risk seems worth taking, though.

( Jingyi just has to laugh at that, but he also has to agree. He'd probably shove his name on that list but HAHAHA HE IS YET UNKNOWN )

Yeah, Senku was ready to ride a dragon at the drop of a hat, that takes a certain personality. Tidus dives in. I'm not familiar with Vegeta... aside from in passing, I think we all see each other at some point.

[ There are too many people to know everyone here now. ]

He's some sort of warrior prince, with a lot of pride. A lot of power to back it up, though, so it's not like I could step into most situations that could threaten him.

( the nature of the beast, really. )

At least you can lecture him once he's back from whatever might have threatened him. Or remind him why being reckless isn't the only way to be? Lectures. There's always time for lecures!

Aha. I might need to get an adult to do that for me.
