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.))

I-- I mean 'can you hold things with it'. [Sometimes he forgets that the broad technical vocabulary he takes for granted is not shared by everyone he talks to. Yes, even after being on the train for this long.]

'Full dragon form'... Wait, is that big dragon that keeps showing up at the platforms you, then?

[jingyeets]

Oh! Uh, sure, I can, but I wouldn't write with my tail, not that kind of grip in this form. I can hold things up, wrap around my legs or someone else, prop someone up with it, or drag things along with a grip by my tail, but that'd be less efficient than just using my hands.

( One which he lifts and waggles his fingers at the camera with: look, behold his very human hand! Be awed, fellow humanoid! )

Oh yeah, that's definitely me. White scaled, blue fur around the head and down the spine to the tail? I take every chance to fly full form that I can, when I'm on train I can only take on a two-year old's form.

( how literal is this. not terribly, but it is what he feels like, being forced to be so small instead of his length comparable to a full coach. )

[subcircuits]

That must be so useful. [Someone sounds wistful.] Believe me, there've been times in the shop where having an extra limb just to prop something up or hold it in place would have been real-- handy.

[WINK. Punning aside, though, he means it.

He nods, confirming the description, a smile on his face.] You're gorgeous like that. What do you mean by a two-year old's form?

[jingyeets]

( He grimaces at the question, holding up his hands. )

I go from being all that gorgeous form to this much of it. Which is a small child's form of dragon, okay! The train literally shoves me down into child sized dragon form.

( He looks so put out by this. He would demonstrate, but it didn't occur to him to do so at the moment. )

[subcircuits]

[Nor does it occur to Devero to ask for a demonstration. He does grimace expressively though.] This fuckin' train, I swear. Screwing around with your dragon form, won't let me have my hardware self-- it's such bullshit!
