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.))

That's too bad! The neighbor should have been more aware of how aggressive his dog was and taken care not to let it hurt anyone.

It's true, we all have our fears. And some fears are left over from childhood, and others are from adulthood. I certainly can't blame you for still being afraid of dogs. That must have been a fearsome experience.

Pretty sure he didn't care his dog was aggressive. Lotta people where I live want em like that as "guard" dogs. S'bullshit.

But yeah, never got over that. Long as people don't get prickly with me taking a wide berth or going the other way if I see their dogs then we're good.

[so_dark_a_road]

Guard dogs, right! Guard your property from people who have done you no harm and have no harmful intentions. [ Snort. ] I agree, that's bullshit.

I certainly wouldn't fault you for avoiding a dog if one came along. On the train or on a mission or a vacation planet or whatever.

Thanks for being so understanding, mate. Wouldn't believe how bent outta shape people can get if you ain't like certain animals.

[so_dark_a_road]

You're welcome. And I can believe that some people get annoyed if you don't like certain animals. Some people identify with those animals as though they were people, and they believe that not liking them is an offense against common decency.

[Dennis will pout some what thoughtfully at that, but still sighs. Like he gets it, but at the same tiiime... he's not going to throw hands over it.]

Guess that makes sense.

[so_dark_a_road]

It does make sense, but it's still a bit silly. I wouldn't appreciate it if someone got upset with me for not making a big fuss over a dog or a cat, even a very cute one. Especially if an animal had chewed me up in the past.
