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 I hear. Don't really know what that means though.

[ He does laugh a little bit. ]

Hey, this is my first dog and he's pretty cool. I never had anything to look after before.

[agoodsoul]

Dunno what what means?

[Being your own person? He doesn't want to assume.]

M'sure you're doing great, mate. Sorry for being an ass about the whole dog thing before... got this fear thing. Phobia.

[melodiouspacifist]

The whole doing whatever I want thing. I don't really know what I want to do.

[ Sometimes, just sometimes, he wonders if it would be easier just doing what he's told, but that bridge has been thoroughly burned. Axel kind of burned. ]

It's fine, well, I mean, if you want to avoid Metronome, we're usually in the music car.

[agoodsoul]

Good thing I'm not musically inclined.

[He tries to joke.]

Oh yeah, don't feel bad 'bout that. Lots of people don't know either really. Can take a long time for some. Mm... but you like music? What about doing something with that?

[melodiouspacifist]

I'm learning to play the violin, that's kinda new. My job, uh, before involved music kinda. I use it to boost my magic for fighting.

[agoodsoul]

Oh shit so kinda like a bard?

[Well. A bard in an RPG.]

Learning to play an instrument is legit though. I'm all thumbs, don't think I'd be good at it myself, but that's cool.

[melodiouspacifist]

Sure, in a manner of speaking, although really my power is water.

[ It's not a secret. ]

I play sitar, normally.

[agoodsoul]

That sound wicked. Like you can cast water magic or... you're like some fancy water bender?

[Is there that big of a difference? Who can say. Dennis can't. This stuff is all fiction for him back home.]

A what?

[melodiouspacifist]

Uhhh, water bender? [ He can't help but ask. ]

If you mean moving water around and summoning it...all of the above.

[ Demyx is disappointed a bit in lack of musical knowledge. ]

A sitar. It's a stringed instrument.

[agoodsoul]

Yeah, that! That's amazing, guess I know who to call if any fires start.

[Sorry Demyx, though Dennis is used to being a disappointment, it's fine.]

Oh, oh so like a guitar sorta?

[melodiouspacifist]

Ha, you're right about that. I can take care of a little fire, but if you want fire control, that's Lea's department.

[ He giggles a little bit about that. ]

Nah, not really. I mean it might look similar, but it doesn't play the same at all.

[agoodsoul]

So are there a bunch of Nobodies that each have some elemental control?

[Man he hates calling Demyx, or any others like him, Nobodies, but it is the name he used for what they are.]

So you use a bow then?

[melodiouspacifist]

[ The person who called them that was kind of a dick really. ]

Well not just elemental control, but yeah, some of 'em. Marly used plants and Luxord was more of a time guy.

[ They all have a specialty at least. ]

A bow? No. A sitar.

[ And he'll respond with his least showy display when it comes to summoning, but of course he wants Dennis to see it. He holds his hands out in front of the ICP and collects water out of thin air and then his very well kept, majestic in his opinion, sitar Arpeggio appears. ]

[agoodsoul]

[Not a surprise.]

Time? Whoa, can he like, stop time and stuff?

[It sounds pretty cool honestly.]

Holy shit, that's wicked-!

[Majestic is definitely the word for it. Dennis is gaping, face a smile from how cool this is. He's totally forgotten to clarify that he meant a bow as in the sort one uses with a violin, but that's not important anymore.]

[melodiouspacifist]

Ha, isn't it? This is Arpeggio.

[ What good musician doesn't name their instrument? ]

And yeah, he can mess with time. Kinda annoying actually, when you think about it. He always gets a head start.

[agoodsoul]

S'good name.

[Music related, makes sense.]

Sounds like he's just a big ol' cheater.

[His tone is teasing of course.]

[melodiouspacifist]

[ He's a music guy, it's fine, and his dog likes it. He does however laugh. ]

Of course he's a cheater. Going on about how he doesn't make bets he won't win. He's not so bad though.

[agoodsoul]

So he let's you guys win sometimes, right?

[melodiouspacifist]

Ha! No! I'm smart enough not to wager my munny against Luxord!

[agoodsoul]

At least you know better, heh.
