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.))

[ A solid second of blinking. ]
I do not know why I find it surprising that there are other kinds of weapons. I was thinking of traditional firearms, you can choose if that is appropriate.

[motherofresistance]

[She chuckles slightly at the blinking.]

Welcome to the multiverse, my friend. In any case, I'm choosing to count blasters, so... [sips her tea.]

Never have I ever cut my hair short.

[eternalinquiry]

[ His eyebrows raise and he nods. The multiverse, indeed.
At her response he closes his eyes as if remembering a terrible moment, then sips his tea.]

Only once, but yes. I have. I will not again.

[ He thinks for a moment. ]

Never have I ever been on a rollercoaster.

[motherofresistance]

[She actually has to take a moment to think about this one, reaching back to her childhood.]

I actually haven't either. Though I wouldn't mind trying if the opportunity arose.

Let's see... never have I ever attended school with others my own age.

[eternalinquiry]

[ He sighs, sips again. ]
My home was my school and we hosted the lectures. I did not have a choice, even as I advanced past most my own age. Others were just as talented.
You were tutored at home?
[ She's too well spoken to be uneducated. He thinks about his next question and then narrows his eyes in a challenge. ]

Never have I ever hosted a dinner party.

[motherofresistance]

Interesting. And yes, I was; I grew up in a very wealthy family, so I had education droids for most standard subjects, and private tutors for more specialized areas.

[She chuckles at that one and takes a sip.]

Not as many as you might expect, but yes, I've hosted a few.

Never have I ever been romantically involved with more than one person at the same time.

[eternalinquiry]

Wangji doesn't move, eyebrows raising. He's been alone a long time, but not for lack of options.

I have not either. I am not capable of such deception, or spreading my devotion even if all parties agreed... To my knowledge at least.

He Has to really think now, living so long means you do a lot of things. Even if you never meant to.

Never have I ever been in a car chase.

[motherofresistance]

Well I've been in plenty of chases, but none of them involving cars.

[Ships, speeder, speeder bikes, yes, but not cars.]

Never have I ever eaten or drank anything solely because someone dared me to.

[eternalinquiry]

Hm. I may have to drink for this one.
Does it count if the dare was issued several years before the drinking took place?

[motherofresistance]

If you did it because of the dare, and the person who did the daring knew that, then, yes it counts.

[eternalinquiry]

I did it because of the dare, the person who did the daring was then deceased.
I will take it as a drink.

[A swig of tea, he's going to need more at this rate.]

Never have I ever owned a pet.
