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.))

Yes, well, somehow that's my fault now. My teammates have been heavily critical as of late.

[agoodsoul]

... wait are we still talking about home or the train?

[Cause they've sorta segued into both and now he's not entirely sure which teammates she's talking about.]

[partofthecrowd]

Sorry. I was unclear. I meant at home.

[ She doesn't really have teammates the same way here, at least, not anyone she's that close to, or works with on missions. ]

I'm not exactly disappointed to be away from them.

[agoodsoul]

S'okay. We kinda got a little twisted up for a moment.

[Talking about home and the train and the same time, easy to get mixed up.]

Feel ya there. Some things I don't miss being here.

[partofthecrowd]

That's exactly how I feel about it, even though I know I shouldn't. There's some things that are significantly better here.

[ It hasn't fixed everything, she's still depressed and a mess, but at least no one's harrassing her. ]

[agoodsoul]

[All of that is super legit. Things being better doesn't immeadiately, or even long term, fix that sort of thing. Can help for sure.]

I mean besides the danger of the missions and it being real sketchy with how things operate here... dunno, I just feel like I wouldn't mind staying on the train over going back home.

[He'll frown a little.]

Miss my mum of course, but... biggest thing here is people just up and go and we don't know why still. Just worry one day my friends here will be gone, but then that's better for them, yeah? Going home. Or- we really hope that's the case.

[Whole lotta ifs ands or buts about this.]
