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.))

[Someone has to use all the words Aeleus doesn't.]

On occasion, but there are...accomplishments attached to both names, memories that make me hesitant to disconnect myself from them.

[He cocks his head to the side.] Does it have to be a disconnection? Where I come from, lots of folks rename themselves as their perception of themselves evolves. Doesn't mean they're rejecting their past self, just leaving it behind.

There are aspects I do not desire to leave behind. I am quite aware that I will never again be the Even of the past, and there is much of my life as Vexen that is far better discarded. However, both names have associations that I would rather keep close.
subcircuits: (that could be a problem)

[He nods.]

I get that. I know some people change their names all the time but I never did; Devero's my creche name. I guess I jus' never felt like anyone else, even if I'm definitely a very different person than the kid I was when I graduated creche.
