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.))

Comments

[despite his worrying and thinking otherwise, everyone knows it to be true. also, of course it's tea, as he definitely has no alcohol (which doesn't matter because he'd still likely politely decline any liquor someone offers him).

softly, just barely above his breath:] They're only afraid because they're ignorant and refuse to or don't understand... [ahem. sizhui shakes his head, the tips of his ears flushed with embarrassment.] Surely not all of them, yes? [he'd hope he himself might be an exception, even on an alternate world.]

[obliviouspatriarch]

[He does catch that quiet comment, hearing being better than it had before he was joined with the fox, a sad smile somewhat crossing his lips. A lot of it was his doing as well to make them afraid of him, his cultivation was Wrong in their eyes after all.]

You're not afraid? Even knowing what I do and what I did?

[Even the obvious question had to be asked, even if the boy had called him a-die some time ago. Lack of self confidence was some kind of demon itself.]

[deferences]

[whoops... oh well, he doesn't mind if wei wuxian's heard and honestly isn't afraid to confront anyone; give someone the benefit of the doubt, gather all information and especially see the whole picture before judging them.] No. [undoubtedly, there were many casualties, but he believes the former yiling patriarch did what he did with reason, not because he was outright evil.

and having witnessed wei wuxian's cultivation himself, he can confidently say:] Even knowing, I do not fear you, and I never, ever will.

[obliviouspatriarch]

[He knows he shouldn't but there's an immediate 'press x to doubt' going on in his mind, but if he says anything, Jin Ling might just come from who knows where and yell at him. So in stead, there's a smile and tells himself to accept that.

He is, at least, proud of his cultivation in the present even if it came from a source of desperation and survival.]

A-Yuan what do you fear then? [A pause, then a wicked grin, with a horrible idea for this game.] AHA! Never have I ever feared Lan Zhan!

[deferences]

[please, jin ling has already yelled at him once before, does he really need a second time? just accept your son's wholehearted admittances and save yourself the second scolding. also, just look at how happy sizhui looks after he sees wei wuxian's smile! totally worth the suffering of being less self-deprecating.

wei wuxian should absolutely be proud of his cultivation techniques, particularly because a lot of them have been used in the future generation.

toward the grin, his eyebrows are already lifted with astonishment, but following the remark, sizhui's expression softens somewhat, he exhales a sigh and momentarily glances down into his teacup.] Is being afraid the same as worrying I might disappoint him?
