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.))

[Siiiip. And then -]

Do I drink for the fake names I used, too?

[subcircuits]

[Magnanimously:] You may decide based on how drunk you currently are, and how drunk you want to be.

[katzenpfote]

[He takes a few more sips of water, then.]

There's still people who call me by my old name, but I ended up with a group when I had this name as a fake name. But now it feels more like my real name.

It's the me now, not the me from my past.

[subcircuits]

[He nods his understanding.] And that's the you that matters, yeah?

Are fake names common where you come from?

[katzenpfote]

[There's a mischievous little twinkle in his eye.]

If you're traveling from town to town as a con man, yes. Otherwise, no.

[subcircuits]

[He gasps theatrically.] A con-man?! Scandalous!

[katzenpfote]

I know, I know. I got arrested a few times for it, too. I've done my time.

It just helps if you can make coins look like they're more valuable when you're scraping by. I'm not the first or the last wizard to do that.

[subcircuits]

[Dev leans forward a bit, getting all seriously and proclaim-y.] See, that is why money is terrible. Makes people do unethical shit. Fuckin' capitalism.

[Please don't get drunk Devero started on capitalism.]

[katzenpfote]

... I think we'd have to restructure quite a bit to get by without money.

[He's had these kinds of conversations before. Drunk teenagers with too much smarts...]

[subcircuits]

[He leans close to the ICP camera and drops his voice like he's about to impart a great secret.]

Took an apocalypse on my world, to make it happen.

[katzenpfote]

I'd rather that not happen. I've got a good track record of helping to prevent apocalypses or extraplanar invasions and I'd like to avoid that whole mess.

[subcircuits]

[He shrugs as he leans back. He probably wouldn't be as callous about this if he wasn't quite this tipsy but:] 'S what my world needed. There were too many people, too many abusive systems. Pathogen let us hit 'reset' on the nightmare and try again.

[katzenpfote]

That's very fair, but... I'm already trying to change the system where I'm from in one way. I'll add it to the list. There's a lot of things we need to change.

[He's not going to argue about this with a drunk person. That's not going to end well for anyone.]

[subcircuits]

[That's wise. Devero frowns for a moment, as if he wants to continue to argue it, but the moment passes. After all, isn't everyone here absolutely amazing? If Caleb's trying to change things where he's come from, they'll probably end up changed.]

Good. Good. Hope it doesn't take an apocalypse where you come from.
