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.))

[ Friendly smile. ]

It's very true. And of course it helps create a trap - something everyone can fall into.

If they're in a system of standards - conventional, unconventional - that they later have challenged ... for example! Let's say they find out a child needs to 'steal' to feed themselves, or a soldier finds that the people who 'deserved' to die are still people. [ He kept using silly airquotes there, as he grinned. ]

The human trap is that they'll lie to themselves to keep justifying their own standards, because people are afraid of being wrong.

I never got caught stealing, but if I had... yeah, no one would have cared if it was because I was homeless and had no money. People don't really care... I would've probably gotten in serious trouble and definitely sent to the orphanage.

Which is what I was trying to avoid in the first place.
