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.))

So he's around, but unknown? Missing? Why were people summoning Endless anyway?

[amnesiadragon]

I'm not sure. I can feel him tugging me towards the Empire... at home, at least. I don't know why the Empire was summoning Endless, but the Abbess told us that they used to summon Endless to help shape the world.

The Wind Dragon said that the people who summon Endless have power over them, but my purpose hasn't been shaped yet, since I'm incomplete.

[jingyeets]

Oh, you knew a Wind Dragon there?

( asks an air dragon )

Uh. I mean I guess it... makes sense for a summon, but I just had a full body shudder.

[amnesiadragon]

Why did you have a shudder?

[jingyeets]

In no world can I imagine wanting to be truly under anyone else's control, okay! Feels way too close to possession!

[amnesiadragon]

I don't... really want it, either. I think I can probably shape what I am on my own - or... with friends, really.

[jingyeets]

See, that makes more sense to me. There's something to be said for duty and respect and how we handle those things, but... what ability to disagree are you suppose to have?

[amnesiadragon]

I don't know. It's not like I got instructions when I showed up.

[jingyeets]

( for no great reason, that makes him laugh. )

Guess that makes you like most everyone else. No one gave me instructions either when I was born, though it would have been dumb if they did, since what baby remembers stuff like that?
