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.))

...Okay so now that you ascended are you allowed to do some temptation indulgence? There's gotta be a reward better than immortality.

I say this as a guy whose gotten really critical of the whole undying thing.

If I do it I would still lose everything I have trained hard to achieve. Unfortunately just because I have ascended, it does not mean the work is done.

What exactly do you define as temptation because I know a lot of things that shouldn't be bad or counted as 'temptation' but people kinda arbitrarily decide is bad 'cause "Uh oh, it feels good, it must be bad."

Mine was the Cultivation of abstinence which means a complete restraint from wordly pleasures and maintaining purity of body and mind. So no alcohol, being or reading about anything intimate would be examples.

You can't even read about it?

Honestly, I never got how that kinda thing was 'impure'. Sure, it could be if someone was trying to take advantage of the other people but you know... Sometimes it's just two or three or maybe four people trying to make each other feel good?

Never got it. Seems pointless to me to declare that some kind of bad.

Reading about it could lead you to self pleasure or having impure thoughts. And being impure in any way can destroy all the progress I had made. But I imagine the morals of my time and world are probably a lot different from many others.
